Army Certified Parachute Jump School

September 8, 2008 By admin

Some people view the act of jumping out of a perfectly good airplane as an activity that is more than a bit nutty. But for decades, the experts in the United States that work to train the members of the military who require parachute or jump skills for their job or career specialty. Many members of the military require jump school training to be able to advance or gain proper qualifications to service/

Back in past history, many people received training from their individual branch of the US Military. This left military personnel unsure about what kind and what types of education that they had received. The United States Army is the premier location used for all of the educational training for military jump and parachute training. One of the schools that were combined in the late 1990s was military jump school. There used to be no less than three different military jump schools, and all basically taught the same material albeit with a little different approach and some slight variations of material. Even the Navy Seals and Special Forces Units train at the Army Jump School, and they learn the basics from the Army certified instruction. It used to be that each branch of the service had their own school for each training or educational issue.

The U.S. Military Jump School was consolidated under the Army, and the 507th Infantry, 1st Airborne Battalion, assumed command leadership. Military members that work to train others in the Army Parachute school program are called the Black Hats, because of the tell tail small black baret that they work on. Delivery of personnel by parachute offers flexibility and the ability to send troops in silently, even sometimes under the cover of darkness. A variety of billets and jobs are required to attend jump school The military prepared to move into the new century in the 1990s, there was a concerted effort to combine efforts and share different vocational and special training schools, to eliminate duplicated effort, and to allow for the standardization of education and efficiency.
