Hello everyone, class of 2018 appointee here.
I was just wondering if one could do both freefall parachute training and soaring at the academy. I've heard a lot of talk about the skydiving cadets do over the summer, or if they choose not to do that, they fly gliders. I want to skydive just as much as the next guy, but I don't have much flying experience, and I wish to become the best pilot I can while at the academy in order to get the best air frame during UPT. Is it possible/common to do both, either as summer training or as an elective? Thanks
