Air Assault School

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

My unit supports a US Army Air Assault school near our airfield and we fly out there every couple of days to assist in the training ie. sling loads, air assault training as well as repelling out of the aircraft. Here are some pics of the training.

Cool pics! 8) What age group are the students?

 

[lesofprimus]

Probably basic recruits CC....... 17-22 or so.........

Its amazing that they just let u guys carry cameras around... I suppose with being aircrew, and a crew chief, u can sorta carry what u want...

They are from all ages. They are all allready in the Army and were chosen to go the school by there units.

We have no regulations against pictures unless it is classified info which this is not.
