S1 has important functions in the field. In the 82nd you&#39;ll jump just like everyone else. EVERYONE jumps in the 82nd. The only difference is what you do after link up.

You can volunteer to jump more often Sgt Wayne Wood Wed, 10 Oct 2018 21:22:22 -0400 2018-10-10T21:22:22-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-is-life-like-as-a-42a-in-the-82nd-how-often-do-i-get-to-jump-and-will-i-actually-do-stuff-in-the-field-or-always-be-in-an-s1-shop?n=4035478&urlhash=4035478 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Good grief- BN exercises the entire BN goes to the field- all the shops- and you will work d jumps.uring the exercise, same for the Bde and the Div. When you deploy, you take everybody capable of working. Minimum jump every 3 months to stay current and cover your jump pay. With that said in 21 yrs on status I have 326 jumps.

As far as the field goes, I&#39;ll let others address that. I was a grunt, so our question was will we ever not be in the field.<br /><br />Airborne!

You will work in the S1 ship but when your in the field you can pull additional tastings. Its a pretty good place to work S1 and you will learn a lot.

Their main job in the field is personnel accountability and replacement.

You will be in the field, jump &amp; deployment when is your Bn time to go therefore be ready is all fun.
