I've been putting this off because I believe in taking things one at a time and whether I know what to expect or not, I still have to go through it and prove myself, but I was hoping to learn if anyone on here knows how or when you get to try out for the Parachute Team.
I've read you have to go through a "smoke session" which is common enough in military communities that jump so I understand that completely, but the criteria has to be beyond that. (At least in my experience with the military.)
I'm hoping we have some members who either are on the team or have information beyond, "hard PT".
I'm incredibly interested and hope to get the chance. In the end no matter what the requirements or process it won't matter if I know, however, I'd like to know how I show interest at the Academy... Not to mention knowledge is power, and knowing what to expect helps me know what processes I can start on now so I'm fully prepared when the time comes.
Thanks for anyone who replies and congratulations to everyone who is appointed.
Very respectfully,
Lofgren
