Perspective from those elite few who have been to both the Jumpmaster and Pathfinder Courses, honestly which did you find required more focus? More difficult?

As one who not only passed both courses, but later taught them, I feel they are equally tough. Pathfinder harder academic wise, jumpmaster harder physically (the sequence, being the biggest part of course).

Jumpmaster was more difficult for me...I thought Pathfinder was a breeze but I'm pretty good at math so I didn't stress like some of the others when it came to those types of written tests. Both fun schools though...

CARP was the hardest for me. It wasn't that the math was hard is was memorizing the charts.

I don't buy it anytime somebody says it was a breeze. I think you're full of it.

I wouldn't say it was a breeze but I studied relatively hard and passed, don't have to memorize the carp charts anymore which was good

I'd do Jumpmaster first. Get an introduction to CARP. Besides, being a JM is a huge responsibility that I believe you would excel at. Then onto Pathfinder. The graduate course of both JM and Air Assault.
