Should Airborne School be a requirement to serve in an Airborne Unit?

I feel you should represent the unit you're in, it's not only having pride in your unit, yourself. If you're in an air assault division be AA qualified. If you're in an ABN unit then you should too.

I think you need to be airborne qualified if you are in an airborne unit so long as you have a jump slot. In the good 'ol days, the 1st COSCOM was an airborne unit, but had few jump slots. No need to be airborne qualified if you didn't have one of those slots. I would think that everyone in the 82nd should be airborne qualified.

Hell yes. There is no better country to serve for. I may not agree with all what the government has us do or all of there political agenda but I would not have changed nothing I did while serving my country.

I didn't even know you could get assigned to the 82nd without being Airborne qualified. That makes no sense at least in the Brigade and below levels.

A requirement? Not unanimously, no. I think it would depend on your job. If you are in, say 2nd AIBCT, 82nd, but you work as a PAC clerk, then you probably dont have a reason to jump. But if you're a line guy, and you know that you'll be boots-on-ground at some point, being in an airborne unit doesn't make much sense if you aint got the wings.

Yes
