Yes, you will go to Airborne school before you go to RIP. Its required, although it shouldn't be done till you pass RIP some will say... that's a different story.

The PT in Airborne school sucks. Its lame as hell, no push-up/sit-up of any kind. Runs are slow as hell. And to top it off, they aren't very serious with their pull-ups. If you want to use Airborne school for any kind of physical training beyond hitting the ground "correctly" you are sadly mistaken. If you want to keep in shape through Airborne for RIP, then you need to do it on your own. I didn't really worry about it all that much, it was more fun that way... More pain. Do what you will.

FWIW what you're talking about is about to become SOP. Far too many people were going thru ABN only to drop RIP. As an interim countermeasure the no-voluntary withdrawal policy currently in effect was put in place as a preventive measure to keep the Option 40s from wasting RIP ABN slots until the RIP first, ABN 2nd pipeline becomes a reality.

That sounds like a great policy.

During my time in BN, I had many an opportunity to jump with Airborne school as a 'pay hurt'. It was always cool; they treated us like golden gods. Probably had something to do with the fact that it seemed like there was always at least one Black Hat that was in BN at one time. It was great; we usually got an entire pass all to ourselves; even if there were only a dozen of us. We would 'burn' green light so that we could land right next to the collection point.

Membership has its priveledges; although I doubt the guys that pass RIP and then go on to Airborne will get treated this well. Too bad... :(
