Airborne School from the Indiana National Guard?

I am curious if anyone knows a way guard soldiers can attend this course. I am in the Indiana NG, it has been an uphill battle to get to this school. During my deployment prior to the sequestration I was going to attend BAC using my leave orders where soldiers can use that time to attend schools or course that better themselves units and states, but before my tour ended. Jump pay became hazardous duty pay and I was unable to be admitted to the course because you cannot be on hazardous duty while on leave. I have not been able to find a way to attend the course since.

Probably about the only way you're going to get it in the Guard is to be assigned to one of the few units on Airborne status, or possibly as a reenlistment incentive.

If you're in the INNG you can join C Co 2-152 LRS or their Rigger Det. That would be the quickest and easiest way as it is a required course for either slot.

That is extremely rare. There has to have need to send you. I have never heard of this leave order thing to attend schools. It sounds kind of shady to me. But the LRS unit is the best bet. You have to an 11B first. You MOS is killing your. Keep in mind when you got there they are going to want you to go to Ranger also. Most of their NCOs should be tabbed.

I'd say contact the old LRS unit which has re-flagged to an Airborne Infantry Company. If you can get a transfer there you would be Benning bound!

It is possible but you’re gonna want to hard charge into a unit that actually needs airborne Soldiers per their MTOE (modified table of equipment). Read more information at https://rooftopsnipers.io
