I am stationed at Fort Bragg and I would like to attend Airborne School this summer. Does anyone have a good running or workout regime?

Run don't walk wherever you go. Get some pull-ups into your regime. But running is the best prep for airborne school. Of course you should work on push-ups and sit ups so you don't slack on PT tests. But the run is your bread and butter.

I am old school, but you seem young. Airborne was more mental then physical back in '87. It may have changed, but not likely. Stay fit, 80% all category afpt fit. Practice falling backwards with a helmet on. Keep your head tucked. In fact... don't the first time. Keep going with the headache. Erase all fear. Do not be concerned about those that fail.. it's a school, not your unit. Listen to everything, ask nothing. The riggers have to jump thier pile so have faith. It's fun as hell. You won't want a non-airborne unit after. Don't sweat the small stuff.
