    Air Assault School students in phase three rappel testing

    Two students of Fort Hood Air Assault School class 02-14 approach the UH-60 Black Hawk they are about to rappel 85 feet out of during phase three testing, Nov. 20, 2013. Air Assault School is a grueling 10-day course that qualifies soldiers to conduct airmobile and air assault helicopter operations, to include aircraft orientation, sling load operations, proper rappelling techniques and fast-rope techniques. The high standards of the school require the student to take part in a 12-mile march with rucksack in under three hours on the morning of graduation to be awarded their wings. Every iteration of the Fort Hood Air Assault School begins with 132 students, and ends with an average of 80 graduates. On the day this photo was taken, class 02-14 was down to 46 students.
