Airborne

This school is located at Ft. Benning , Georgia. Cadets start their first week on the ground, learning the basics of parachute landings, and start a vigorous training program. During the second week, called tower week, proper exiting of the plane is mastered, and cadets are given the opportunity to parachute from a 250 ft tower. The third and final week is the jump week. Cadets make five jumps from either a C-130 or C-141, including one night jump and two combat jumps with full combat gear.
