On the other hand, the 27th of November, the director of the centre, colonel José Mª Jiménez, inspected the students of the second group belonging to the 1st Season of 2017, who develop the Basic Parachuting Course at the Parachuting Military School "Méndez Parada", of the Air Forces, in Alcantarilla (Murcia).

After the jumps, the director had a meeting with the soldiers and gave to them brief notes about the importance of controlling and getting over scary feelings, as well as encouraging them to follow this line in order to successfully pass the course and the last weeks that remain to pass the Specific Training Phase, before joining to their stationed units.
