The most frequent scenario is for non-infantry soldiers in an MOS that is needed in an airborne unit to be PCS'd with Airborne school en route to 4-25. <br /><br />When I came in all soldiers regardless of MOS had to be Airborne qualified to go to an Airborne unit. The army could not get enough support soldiers into Airborne units so they modified the requirement to only the support soldiers that are in infantry battalions have to be qualified. The support battalions in said units do not require their support personnel to be Airborne. Although, it was still pretty frowned upon while I was in the 82nd.<br /><br />I don't know if that answers any questions you had about it, but if you are more specific I would be happy to answer if I can.

When I went to Alaska I already had my wings and I was stationed at Wainwright instead of Richardson where there was a unit that jumped.

I am support (91B). Slotted reservation for Jump School in a few months en route to Ft. Richardson. I must have not been fully awake when posting this. Anything is possible in the military. Just had questions for anyone that has had this scenario.
