Going to airborne school next month but I do not have a POC or a packing list. My company only been able to help get me DTS. Do I need any specific gear like eyepro with my inserts since I wear glasses? Also the start date to end date is 10Jan to 13Jan is that the report date?

You’re company needs to get there **** together and support you (the soldier).

The school does have a packing list, see below from the Fort Benning MCoE website Airborne School. These things you can look up on your own. The company needs to fix up your DTS, make sure you have orders for travel day then three weeks at school and then another travel day.
