Can you get it in your contract, or do you have to wait to get it? Also which areas have airborne units?

you wait till 3 days before graduating basic, then get on your knees and BEG, BEG, BEG your DI to let you go to airborne.

otherwise just ask your recruiter, demand it at MEPS, pass the physical and you are done!!

Just make sure it's more than 5-6 stories tall. To get the full (splat) effect.

I thought Airborne could leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Actually, when they don't feel like leaping over the tall buildings, they just lift them up and walk under them.

Now that's Hooah...
