| "...notwithstanding
the splendid progress made to date, there is still much to learn - the
biggest hurdles are yet to come.
From here on come the tests, both
physical and psychological, which may make or break a potential
paratrooper.
Records show that about 22 out of each
150 men that enter the Fort Benning paratroop training school "wash
out" before the first jump is made.
By now our training platoon has
developed a fine "esprit de corps", a fighting spirit, a high
morale."
