I just graduated from Airborne school 3 weeks ago. Be in good shape and listen attentively to the blackhats, everything they teach you is what will save your life!
If you decide you want to get kicked out of Airborne school and given a no return; sleeping during classes is the easiest way to do it.
On jump week (Week 3) once you exit the aircraft at 1,250ft and do all the good stuff on your way down and you are fully grounded after conducting your nice PLF lol, pack your chutes in its bag and RUN to the designated checking-in Sergeant Airborne.
A buddy of mine was kicked out of Airborne school after our 3rd jump for walking back instead of double-timing, some of those cadre/blackhats will jump with y’all and this was how he got caught.
Trust me you will be tired at some point but whatever you may feel just do whatever you can but do NOT walk, 1-507 PIR Sergeant Major does not like it! Apart from that, enjoy it, don’t hesitate to jump, keep your knees and feet together (Very Important) and understand your PLFs. If you are unsure of anything, ask the blackhats; they will be happy to square you away.

CSM Charles Hayden Lol i agree Sergeant Major, same happened to a guy in my class that tried to slip his parachute closer to the check in zone so he wouldn’t have to walk the distance once he is grounded but he ended up on a tree lol, he was chewed for not having his knees and feet together and not getting ready for a proper PLF.
Airborne school was fun.

SSG Roger Ayscue - I think it is a key to success in the school. The OP asked for tips :) As a NAP, I can honestly say that once an airborne troop reaches the ground, they are really not much different then their peers.
