It's National Airborne Day 🪂

Whether you have a "Rendezvous with Destiny" or you're an "All-American," these incredible sky Soldiers are worth celebrating.

In 2002, President George W. Bush declared August 16 as National Airborne Day as it was on that day in 1940 that 48 volunteer members of the U.S. Army Parachute Test Platoon performed the first official U.S. military parachute jump at Ft. Moore, Ga.

: Many of our current Cadets attended Jump School and even more cadets will go on to become Airborne certified after they graduate and commission as 2nd Lieutenants in the Army.

Joining the United States Army

Joining as an Enlisted Member Enlisted members make up most of the military workforce. They receive training in a job specialty and do most of the hands-on work. Usually, you’ll sign up for four years of active duty and four years inactive. After you’ve completed your active duty time, you can either extend your contract or re-enlist if you want to continue serving.

Officers make up a much smaller part of the workforce. To join as an officer, you typically must have a four-year college degree and complete an officer program. You compete for promotion to continue your career. Most officers are managers who plan and direct operations. Others are professionals like doctors and lawyers. Officers get paid more than enlisted members and enjoy certain other benefits.

You don’t have to join as an officer to become one though. You can join as an enlisted member and attend officer training later on.

Requirements for Joining the Military Age Limits for Enlisting: You must be at least 17 to enlist, and the oldest you can be to enlist for active duty is 34.
