U.S. Army flight school students at Fort Rucker, Ala.,

U.S. Army flight school students at Fort Rucker, Ala., load up a bus that will transport them to Cairns Army Airfield during the students’ incipient phase of helicopter training June 21, 2013. Warrant Officer Brett Palmer, a 106th Aviation Regiment, Illinois National Guard Soldier in the Primary Phase of training, says positioning oneself toward the front of the line has benefits, such as arriving at the classrooms at CAAF sooner, which allows students more time to prepare for the day’s training.
