The 22MH AOCR is a one of a kind experience. This week-long Airborne Retreat is held at X35 The Airborne School in Dunnellon, FL. Where participants will report to the school daily and go through rigorous airborne training, mental fitness sessions both group and one on one available, participate in a suicide prevention class, yoga, and other activities while experiencing something only few will ever get to, jumping out of a historic C-47 that dropped paratroopers into Normandy on D-Day or other historical planes. 

This life changing event brings veterans, active duty military and FR from across the country into the warrior mindset while giving them the opportunity to connect with others who have experienced similar situations in life. This unique retreat requires a dedication and desire to be challenged both mentally and physically.
