Goofs
When Sgt. White marches the new arrivals to their platoon barracks, the men appear to have glider patches on their caps; and a few days later, they are wearing 82nd Airborne shoulder patches. Neither of these things would happen in Airborne training. To be a paratrooper and wear the glider patch, one must have completed training and earned his wings. And, no one would be assigned to Airborne units until that time. But for the dozen or so movie stars in the film, the rest of the men were obviously trained paratroopers and assigned to units of the 82nd Airborne at Fort Bragg.

Basic but servicable.

Airborne concerns a group of recruits to the US Army's 82nd Airborne Division as they undergo basic training at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Really that's it. Not that it's uninteresting or bad. The characters are generally relatable and it's largely educational about basic training (in that the film includes several clips of training exercises and activities. If you think you'd find that interesting then there enjoy. If not, I'd skip this one because there's really not a whole lot else that happens.
