Practical Course
It was not an easy school but certainly not something any good soldier will have trouble with.
My suggestion is to focus on the skill set you take out of there and how it will apply to your operational planning or participation in the future. Any combat soldier should know how to set up an LZ/PZ, call in an in bound advisory, sling loading (a perishable skill at least for me) etc. One of the best things I took out of it was not pushed hard in the class which was was the 5 phases of Air Assault planning.
I need not mention the importance of MEDEVAC training.
And LOL, I did my course at Fort Sherman in Panama via MTT from Fort Rucker. I remember doing the sling load phase in a storm with high winds, rain and friggin lightning.
And guess who gets the Static Probe man! LMAO, I remember feeling pretty vulnerable running out with that lighting rod in my hand to the bird.
Enjoy it and give it 110% and have a good attitude and help your buddies.
