taz9420 0 #9 November 6, 2006 C License, 150 jumps, Airborne School or willing to attend if selected for the team, and a good military record. Key to successfuling completing tryouts is no matter where you come from or your experience level, is to leave it at the door. More than skydiving skills, your evaluated on your professionalism as a soldier, ability to thrive (not just survive) in a team environment, your ability to interact with the public - both in person and on camera. Mentally and physically the tryout cadre mess with you - a LOT. There is a reason for everything they do. Learning how to endure long days of physical activity on 4 or 5 hours sleep is pretty much the norm. 10% Jumping; 90% soldiering The Golden Knights look for, annually, personnel to fill their DEMONSTRATION TEAMS (BLACK/GOLD), not Competitors, Swoopers, Tandem Instructors, or Freeflyers.
