Does anyone know how many Airborne slots Senior Military Colleges such as VMI, citadel or Virginia tech get?
 
I believe these aren’t allocated per school, but I’m not Army so I will defer to someone who is.
 
Schools request for a certain amount of slots every year and then are allotted a certain amount by cadet command. I believe it's by enrollment, not sure of other factors or if it's different for the SMCs.
 
For example, my battalion requested 10 airborne and 10 air assault, but only got 5 air assault and 1 airborne for this summer.
 
It changes every year. I don’t expect there to be very many the next few years.
 
It's more like allocations for ROTC for the country that are divided by SMA's and ROTC units around the country.

The Army Airborne Course has slots for Service Academies, Army, Navy, Marine, ROTC, Foreign Military.

There are always more requests for spots than spots that are available.

The first day they fix the over crowding problem by dropping everyone who can't pass the run or pushups.
