    Initially you will jump from 1000ft. This may sound daunting but you will receive extensive and comprehensive ground training before you actually step out the door. This is the easy part, the hard part is passing all of the initial training and P-Company as an attached arms soldier or your initial depot soldier training if you join as Parachute Regiment.
