packing list for Airborne at Benning? I have not received any info. I am stationed at Fort Hood, enroute to Fort Bragg, but need AB first.

I was selected to attend Civil Affairs Qualification Course and I need as much info as possible if anyone on here has gone through the: Re-class, PCS-to-Bragg but doesn't have AB yet situation.

I also do not understand where I am supposed to put my wife and children while I am at AB School. Do I go to Bragg and get on post housing/ entitlement to off post housing + BAH. Or do I pay out of pocket for a hotel for a whole month. The latter would be very inconvenient.

Thank you

All DA courses that have a packing list should have it posted on ATTRS in the course scope and special information.

This is the link for Airborne school:

As for the move, I was married w/o kids in a similar situation in the 90s. My wife stayed with her parents while I was at Benning en route to Bragg.

You should find the packing list for Airborne at the Ft Benning website

Some of the things on the list on the Benning website arent even used in the Army anymore but for the most part its whats best to go by. I suggest you bring YOUR OWN canteen as they will issue you one but who knows how many peoples mouths have been on them over the years.

I am in the exact same situation as you. If you have found out any information and would be willing to pass it along, I'd be more than grateful and receptive.
