WOG (Green) means they are "green" (inexperienced) and have a different slower canopy. In case you didn't see this, here is a well done WOG videoHow do they work? As in how does one become a member of the team? What is the difference between Wings of Green and Wings of Blue? I have read that there are jump classes/sessions, but is parachuting also an extra curricular activity there?
Thank you
Only 1/3 of the summer will be used to teach (or be involved in) AM490. My lack of breaks comment was related to winter and spring breaks. The great news is you get in a lot of jumps in on those vacation days!Thank you, both, that was exactly what I was looking for! @MN-Dad-2016 when you say that they don't get breaks do team members still get the opportunity to have summer leave for programs like Operation Air Force and being BCT cadre?
Your 1st sentence ^^ sums it up.Awesome, so from what I gathered the first step is just doing really well my first year and then trying to get a summer slot for AM490. Anything after that is not worth worrying about since I am not at that point yet.
I appreciate your insight @MN-Dad-2016, it seems like a really cool program. I mean I am reading about some cadets doing hundreds of jumps (and I am assuming they are paid for by the AF but I'm not totally sure) during their time at the Academy, that's just mind boggling to me right now!
