U.S. Army SGT Gadiel Ruiz assigned to Lightning Academy, 25th Infantry Divison as an Air Assault Instructor. Prepares students to rappel 85 feet to the ground out of a CH-47 Chinook during phase three testing, August 19th, 2021. Air Assault School is a grueling 10-day course that qualifies soldiers to conduct airmobile and air assault helicopter operations, including 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 a rucksack in under three hours on the morning of graduation to be awarded their wings.
