Pretty much what the Captain said. I also use them as Military Free Fall Qualified Operators assigned to my HALO Troop on the Joe Team. Here is that Troop:
JSOT-3 (HALO)
Falcon (87) Troop Commander
Starduster (87) Troop Sergeant
Spirit (84) Troop Medic/Sniper
Sneak Peek (87) Troop Communicator
Echo Team
Freefall (90) Team Leader
Airborne (83)
Ripcord (84) Demolitions
Footloose (85)
Crazy Legs (87) Assistant Team Leader/RTO/FO
Cloudburst (91)
Foxtrot Team
Skydive (90) Team Leader
Airwave (90) RTO
Static Line (90) Demolitions
Altitude (90)
Airborne v2 (90) Medic
Drop Zone (90) Assistant Team Leader
I (like most of us here) like to delve into their backgrounds to figure out how they would acquire MFF training. It is limited to so many slots a year and a Culinary Specialist in the Army is most likely going to have zero chance of getting into that type of school versus a Special Forces soldier. Here is how I have their backgrounds:
Skydive: joined the Army as a 42A Human Resources Specialist, re-enlisted as a 11B Infantryman. Served as a cadre in Ranger School. Not sure if it is a requirement to serve in the 75th Ranger Regiment in order to be a cadre of Ranger School. Does anyone know?
Drop Zone: Enlisted as a 11B Infantryman then went 18B SF Weapons Sergeant. Served on a HALO ODA
Static Line: Enlisted as a 15N Avionic Mechanic then went 18C SF Engineer Sergeant. Served on a HALO ODA
Airborne v2: Enlisted as a 92R Parachute Rigger and went through MFF school as a rigger. Later went 18D Special Forces Medical Sergeant.
Altitude: Enlisted as a 25M Multimedia Illustrator then reenlisted as a 11B Infantryman. Served either on a Long Range Surveillance Unit or the 75th Ranger Regiment Reconnaissance Company (to explain his "recon" MOS). Either one would have sent him to MFF school.
Airwave: Hmm his old filecard says he was in the Signals Corps (CMF 25) now his new one states he is in Intelligence (35 CMF). Going to have to work on that one. Later he went 18E Special Forces Communications Sergeant. He either served on a HALO ODA or went to MFF school as a particular 25 CMF (which I believe is available to certain MOS's in that career field).
EDIT: Forgot to add I completely do away with them being pilots. You are either going to fly the planes or jump out of them in the military, not both. If a few of them learned civilian flying on the side I see no issue with that (kind of how I see Flint with his helicopter piloting skills).
SECOND EDIT: I mistakenly put CMF 15 as Intelligence. Corrected it 35 CMF.
Also I agree with the others in terms of ranks, there would be no "Sergeant Major of the Army" as there is only one in the entire US Army. I will either make Skydive an E-7 or an E-8 and the rest either E-6's or E-7's. The majority of my Joes are either E-6 or E-7 (no one below an E-5 in my Joe-verse).
