If you open your canopy under 6000 ft above ground level (AGL), it's considered a HALO jump. If you open above 6000 ft, it's a HAHO jump. The minimum exit altitude is 5000 ft AGL.

Well,it was said that they were HALO jumping, but they weren't shown using supplemental oxygen. The only time I can remember seeing it done accurately (besides Ripcord in his few appearances) was the issue in the 130s when Duke, Roadblock, Snake Eyes, and Lady Jaye did a HALO jump onto Cobra Island.

So it sounds like we have a lot of the MFF-qualifeid Joes (at least before they joined the Joes). The others could have been sent to MFF schools after joining the team (similar to how a Delta operator could be sent to these schools).
Now for the list of combat diver/SCUBA-qualified Joes: Definite: Snake-Eyes Torpedo Wet-Suit Gung-Ho (Force Recon) Leatherneck (Force Recon) Tracker Deep Six Shipwreck (if used as a SEAL) Harpoon Link Talbot Night Fox Wet Down Depth Charge Possible: Any Special Forces and Ranger Reconnaissance Joes (both have Scuba-qualifed ODA's and Detachments). Any PJ's and CCT's Any other specific Joes that anyone can think of? |

Muskrat would seem like a good choice. Beachhead. Ice-Storm.

He hangs with my Arctic Joes, but his role as Search and Rescue is a good fit.

All the Jungle Warfare guys seem to be good candidates for Scuba to me. More so than Mobility, Desert, HALO, or Mountain guys.
So: Recondo Muskrat Pathfinder Big Brawler Wreckage Bench-Press maybe? Sgt Stone All three snipers? Lowlight (originally meant to be a SEAL) Crosshairs (Jungle?) Hollow-Point (Helicopter Recon, whatever the hell that is?) Lt. Dolphin and Beaver from Action Force?
