"The first requirement is to get test and physically qualified. Then you would have to pass the Airborne physical. For the rank of Master Sergeant, You would have to be in the Army for a minimum of 10-11 years."

That is what was in the email.

Enough time to take up skydiving, it wont stop you having to do all the basics again but at least while those around you are looking nervous you will be fine.

Well not really, think of it as getting better prepared mentally, just remember no matter how much experience or how much training you have done for it you will still have to follow instructions and do it their way.

You know I heard the song "Blood on the Risers" and that made me want to become a paratrooper.

Both the Baron Knights and Not the nine o'clock news did a great take off of David Bowie's Space Odyssey called Ginger Tom.

Not suggesting it, just saying is all...

That said I did have to sit next to a screaming kid on a flight to Australia once and that made me want to jump out of an aircraft.

"Blood on the Risers" is about a Paratrooper falling to their death.
