See the pain, feel the rush, hear the excitement, and witness the glory of AIRBORNE school at Fort Benning, GA.
Ground week: a physical fitness test, mock door training, individual jumping from the 34' tower, and dropping off the "body bruising" lateral drift apparatus.
Tower week begins with the suspended harness, swing landing trainer, group jump from the 34' tower, and finally a drop from the 250' tower.
Jump week starts by running down to the harness shed, donning and inspecting parachutes, loading and exiting the aircraft, then being picked up on the drop zone as trainees hover into their Dynamic Parachute Landing Fall.
