What is the best and most efficient way to get into Jump School as an Officer in the Army Guard/Reserve (non-infantry)?

It was mandatory for Anglico and my mos and billet, some slots were not jump slots so they didn’t have to go if they didn’t want to go. A bit ridiculous imo to be in Anglico and not jump.

the real answer is what are you looking for/the answer will appear

The best way is to find an airborne unit and join that unit. You may have to transfer to reserves since I know they have reserve units that are airborne. That is the best way to get an airborne slot.

In the Guard forget about it.
One way is going ROTC. Cadets get slots for schools.

Probably with your knees together! Although it looks pretty amazing on a class A it’s not for show and promotion points, save the slot for a unit that needs those slots unless you’re going to an airborne unit

Find a unit that is airborne required. While you are searching for that unit and until they have a slot open for you, keep filling out training request forms and submitting them. Make sure that your COC knows what you want for your career and supports you as that goes a long way.

TBH Though, speaking from experience, as an enlisted member, all of that did me no good. Oddly enough what did was the request to go active duty. I got stationed at Ft Benning and they give a number of slots to units that are stationed on the post. I went through in that manner.

Get it in your contract.

As a former National Guard officer who DID go to jump school, I can tell you that your peers will know you are a wanna be paratrooper. I went to jump school during ROTC in college SOLELY to piss off the cadre and my fellow cadets that said i couldn't do it. Was a big mistake for me. Will be a big mistake for you.

If you ain't INFANTRY then Ft. Benning GA ain't no place to be....

I am being dead serious here. For starters, I am a retired MSG that served in the USAR, ARNG and Active Army. I started in an SF Guard unit, have 300 static line jumps, and was awarded a Master Parachutist Badge. There is nothing wrong if you want to be a five jump chump. It seems every 2LT on AD has a set of snowcone hump wings. The easiest way to go to jump schools in the ARNG is to donate money to your state’s governor’s campaign fund, then hit him or one of his minions up later. No matter what is said, any state’s ARNG can send a person to jump school.
