Ahh thanks! Even being a jump instructor he may not necessarily be HALO-qualified. I will have to do some checking out to see if this is the case or not.

To give it a modern parallel, perhaps people worked as Rangers or in one of the surveillance units. Then they did a stint with JSOC, where they picked up one or two more interesting quals. Then they ended up in Joe, where there's yet more opportunity to get high speed courses.
As for combining mil and police units, that's already sort of happening, with the FBI HRT having people kicking in doors alongside Delta, and likely also collecting evidence and exercising powers of arrest, which Delta doesn't have.

I read someplace that Delta might have been involved with the Branch Davidian raid in Waco all those years ago. No one has ever confirmed this. It sounds like if it is true then the government keeps it under their hat.

I'll have to read Chuckles and Faces filecards again, I always thought they were Army? If I remember correctly Chuckles is kind of vague though, as in we don't really know who he works for.

LRPs became designated Rangers in the 70s but a modern non-recon Ranger isn't the equivalent of a LRP so it's confusing.
Also, even though I haven't seen a TOE for RRC I doubt one team specializes in both scuba and HALO. Usually specializes in one or the other. This reduces the retraining time of the unit. Even Special Forces Detachments are trained in one type or the other insertion skill.
Thanks for the clarification! The wiki article on RRC makes it seem like all members are both HALO and SCUBA qualified. The article on LRS's is a lot more clearer and specifically states there are separate SCUBA, HALO and Mountain detachments.
