Can you answer some easy questions about the barracks on post?
Just give me a simple answer and don't b*tch about my questions.
Can you have alcohol in them? Like beer in the fridge?
Can you have women in there? Like have a gf spend the night?
Can you have a pet? Like a medium size dog?
Yes I know these questions are dumb, but just bare with me.

Yes, you can have beer/alcohol in the barracks, as long as it is legal for you to do so (that is, you have to be the legal drinking age and the commander has to allow it).
Different commands have different rules about members of the opposite sex in barracks rooms. If you have a roommate it's generally not allowed (although it can depend on the roommate, too). They're really cracking down on sexual assault nowadays, so I wouldn't be surprised if the rules are fairly restrictive.
No pets.

If you're on a military base within the states.
If you're 21 you can have a 6 pack of beer or a bottle of wine per person.
They can't spend the night in theory, they have to check in and leave at a certain time but w/e as long as you don't get caught nobody really cares.
No pets.

At Jump School, you'll be introduced to your best friend - your parachute. You'll get to know everything about it. How to wear it, adjust it, use it, the works. You'll also learn all the techniques needed to accomplish your mission with absolute confidence. How to stay loose; get ready for impact; let your legs absorb the shock; roll and collapse your chute quickly; release your harness; unsling your weapon; and deploy into position.
Airborne officers are considered to be among the Army's most valuable combat officers. (Every member of the Rangers and Special Forces - two of the Army's most elite corps - is airborne-qualified.)
And not only Infantry officers can benefit from "going Airborne." Being airborne-qualified will enhance an officer's value to the Army and enhance his or her own chances for a valuable career.
This is a three week school conducted at Fort Benning, Georgia. At Airborne school, soldiers will train along side Regular Army officers and enlisted men and women, as well as members of the other armed services, to jump from Air Force aircraft (C130 and C141). Upon completion of the course, soldiers will earn the coveted jump wings and be parachutist qualified! This course is extremely safe and boosts the confidence of all who have the opportunity to attend.
During the first week, students encounter daily physical fitness and basic parachutist training. They are taught how to wear the parachute harness and how to use special training apparatus. The mock door allows the student to learn the proper method of exiting an aircraft; the parachute landing fall platform assists the student in developing proper parachute landings; the lateral drift apparatus develops the proper technique for controlling the parachute during descent; and the 34-foot tower exposes the student to the physical sensation of the actual jump.
The second week of training is a learning reinforcement period with continued physical training and the addition of more apparatus such as the swing landing trainer, which teaches the student to deal with oscillation and landing falls. In this second week, the cadet is also taught landing procedures and recovery from the drag. Parachute jumps from the 250-foot tower culminate this week of training and constitute the final transition from ground training to actual parachuting.
During the evaluation phase, or jump week, the student makes five qualifying jumps. Three use the conventional parachute and two more jumps use the new steerable parachute.
Successful completion of the previous weeks of training prepares you for Jump Week. Graduation is normally conducted at 0900 on Friday of Jump Week at the south end of Eubanks Field on the Airborne Walk. However, if weather, or some other reason delays the scheduled jumps, graduation may be conducted on Fryar Drop Zone (DZ) after the last jump. Guests and family members are welcome to observe all of the jumps at the DZ, attend the graduation ceremony, and participate in awarding the wings. Fryar DZ is located on the Fort Benning Military Reservation. To get to Fryar Field DZ, visitors should drive to Lawson Army Airfield (LAAF). Drive to the left around LAAF. At the stop sign turn left and drive about 5 miles to the next stop sign. Follow signs to the drop zone parking area. Following graduation you are allowed to depart for leave, or your next duty assignment.
Throughout the fast-moving course of instruction, mental alertness and physical conditioning are emphasized. Physical conditioning is a must prior to attending this course. Airborne School is designed for those who possess the desire, motivation and courage to join the elite fraternity known as "THE AIRBORNE."
WARNING: WHEN CONDUCTING PHYSICAL TRAINING PRIOR TO THE BASIC AIRBORNE COURSE AT YOUR HOME STATION, DESIGN A PROGRAM TO ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING: COMPLETION OF A 5 MILE RUN WITH A TIME OF 45 MINUTES OR FASTER AFTER CONDUCTING 30 MINUTES OF STRENUOUS ACTIVITY (MUSCULAR STRENGTH EXERCISES, MUSCULAR ENDURANCE EXERCISES, CALISTHENICS, AND GRASS DRILLS).
