I almost have my USPA A License, and am not Airborne Qualified, can I let that waived since I already have Free Fall experience?

Not just no, but no.

Army schools are not about what you want to do, they are about what the Army needs. There is no need for a MFF qualified 25U. In addition, MFF is a USASOC school meaning you cannot attend unless you are in a USASOC. USASOC owns the course which means they make the rules for it.

If you enjoy civilian skydiving you can try out for the Golden Knights once you have enough jumps. However, you still will not go to MFF unless you are in a USASOC assignment and an MFF qualified position. You will never be in an MFF position if you are not Airborne qualified

You have civilian free fall experience. Not even close to the same thing as MFF. Not even close.

You almost have you A? You don't have free fall experience and with an A, you are barely safe enough to get out of your own way. Golden Knights will not even look at you until you have your C.
