Army Air Assault School

[Waffen]

As of next week I am heading to the US Army Air Assault School. I've been researching and studying arduously on the tasks and conditions that I will be undergoing. From what I've researched I've realized that Air Assault's Zero Day is by far the hardest day of the school. Should a student pass Zero Day they work their way to Phase I, II, and III respectively ending the course with a 12 mile ruck march.

However, while I did read the book that was given to me and have begun training for the school (PT is perfect, learned how to tie a Swiss Rapel Seat, etc.) I know that there is information that a book cannot prepare a soldier for everything. I wanted to ask the Quiet Professionals community. I know and realize most of the members here have more than likely attended Air Assault at one point in their military careers. I wanted to ask for advice and general information from a personal point of view on what to expect from Air Assault School.
