Airborne Course
The common brotherhood of the Red
Berets is derived by the experience of parachuting.
No commando wears the Red Beret without having previously
earned the parachutist wings.
The Commando BAC entails a total of
five parachute descents. Three of these will be executed
in daylight, whilst two are executed in darkness.
Commando BACs also require students to jump with combat
equipment from the fourth jump onwards.
The Airborne Creed

|
I
am an Airborne trooper! A paratrooper!
I jump by parachute from any place in flight.
I volunteered to do it knowing well the hazards
of my choice.
I am an elite trooper, a sky trooper, a shock
trooper, an elite trooper.
I blaze the way to far-flung goals-behind, before,
above the foe's front line.
I never find a fellow trooper I cherish as a sacred
trust the lives of the men with whom I serve.
Leaders have my fullest loyalty, and those I lead
never find me lacking.
I have pride in the Airborne.
I never let it down.
In peace I do not shirk the dullest duty nor protest
the toughest training. In battle I fear no foe's
ability nor under-estimate his prowess, power
and guile.
I fight him with all my might and skill-ever alert
to evade capture or escape a trap.
I never surrender though I may be the last. I
belong to a proud and glorious team......
the Airborne, the Army, my country.
I am a trooper of the sky!
I am my Nation's best. In peace and war I never
fail.
Anywhere, anytime, in anything......
I am Airborne!
