When I went through I''ll never forget the first night. The Blackhats were dropping us for pushups and ranting with headgame comments. We were on our third or fourth set of 10 pushups when one Blackhat says we will be doing this all fucking night until he gets 10 quitters. I got my mind set for a long night because I figured who in the hell would quit so soon into airborne school. No sooner did I think that when we had the 10 quitters. How weak minded can that be? I guess all kinds go through there. I have always believed anyway that airborne school should only be for soldiers who really utilize it for their job, not for just promotion points or a friggin status symbol. Nuff said.
