I am about to reenlist for 11B, and i want to be in the 82nd which means I wanna be airborne infantry, i could only reenlist for infantry so how hard would it be to get airborne to, will they ask me at my infantry school or what would i need to do?

There is no guarantee you will get the option to go to Airborne. Sometimes there are slots and it is available, sometimes not. When you get there, ask, that is about all you can do. If you do get a slot, when you get to Airborne they will have a briefing and ask if you would like a RIP slot.

Just because you go to Airborne School does not mean you will go to Fort Bragg. IF you go to an Airborne unit, you could end up at Bragg, in Alaska, in Italy, any of the RTB's, etc.

I have plenty of friends that out of Airborne school did not even end up in Airborne units. They ended up in Korea, Ft. Polk, Ft. Riley, or on MiTT's, with a few months for train-up, then off to Iraq.

It won't hurt to get your airborne physical done now. That will be one hurdle out of the way if you get the option of going airborne school when you get to AIT.

There's another way as well. I have a friend that's in the 82nd and he volunteered for RIP, thus giving him Airborne School, then he just dropped out after he graduated from Airborne School.

You 11B now? Your best bet is to reenlist for Ft. Bragg. The first question anybody gets asked there is if you want to go airborne. You wanna be airborne? You have to go where their at. Get it?

SF has been on thre fence for the past year or so with 10 different MOS ... don't even think he's around anymore.
