bparker is so very right!!! they smoke the crap out of you before the "O" course. I just graduated Air Assault school last tuesday and it felt great!!!! I thought that I would not make it because of my age (38). its very mentally and physically challenging.For those who say that it is easy my hat off to you, but not all of us are in tip top shape. all in all it was definatly worth going and I feel very proud to wear my wings because it is an achievement in my life.
