I do not see the point in sending all these guys and gals to jump school. For the past 20 some years the watered that course down to a joke. PT standards have lowered, run times slowed down to 9 min miles, the gig pit removed. Most wil never serve in an airborne slot. When I was in the 82nd we would get Pvts straught from jump school who were freaking out of shape. Just annoys the hell out of me. WHY?
So the Army will have another recuriting tool, so more clowns can have something to sew on their BDUs and feel like a hero. Does the army really need another jump-qualified finance clerk?
Why not make it harder, really teach how to rig their equipment, add stuff like H2H . Combine it with Air Assault school the way they did glider training in the 40's.
It would warm the cocklels of my heart to hear a Blackhat say, "Listen up, we have too many studs in this class, we are doing PT until XX quit."
Its late,I'm ranting and thats my .02
