Which would you rather do? (ABN or AASLT)
I've been looking up stuff on the ARNG and AROTC, and have known for a while that some lucky AROTC Cadets can get the chance to attend either Airborne School or Air Assault School.
My question to you is - if you had to pick one or the other, which would it be? And why? Airborne  Air Assault  If any military posters here have these experiences, I'd love to hear your opinions. Were you afforded a choice? Why did you choose? If you did both, which did you like better? Etc. I'm personally split between the two. Airborne sounds pretty dang cool, but then again, so does Air Asault. -PC

This is like comparing a sexy blonde to an equally sexy brunette.
So, in that case, both.

In all due time, if you wanted to you could go to both schools. It's not all that uncommon actually; I've ran into my fair share of "double stacks" (people with both sets of wings).
As far as myself, personally, if I were to go to one of the schools it'd probably be Air Assault. No real reason why that over Airborne, just my pick.

I would absolutely love to do both. If I had to choose one before the other or if I could only do one, probably the air assault, just because I think it would be so cool to rope out of a Black Hawk helicopter. I don't know what it is, I'm just drawn to that.
But jumping out of a perfectly sound aircraft would be great also!

I would die for the opportunity to do both, but if I had to choose one it would be Airborne. I have always loved flying and the airborne is like flying without the airplane. Plus, the views are amazing!

At JCLC I got to do a Basic course of these(of of a tower and a 250 parachute drop) I LOVED AASLT, it was so fun. I would pick AASLT. Now if I joined the Army I would be a Double stack, they are three week courses.
