Jump school injury study.
^^^^
Data that proves what I'm going to tell you.
Airborne school is fun, but a fair amount of people get hurt doing it. If you injure yourself as an infantryman, they can and will wait around on you to get better and your spot in the line company will be waiting for you. Is this as certain for your spot in flight school?
If you manage to finagle a spot, enjoy it.

It's gonna take all the time, concentration, and physical/mental reserves you have just to successfully complete flight training. Leave Army jump school to the Soldiers.

Come on guys, if he goes to three schools he doesn't need he wins a set of steak knives!
In all seriousness, I put your chances somewhere between 0.0% and 0.000%
Why would you even want to?
I know quite a few guys that have gone through Army Jump School. They all said it was the single gayest school they ever attended in their careers.
I'm talking several unrelated conversations with guys using a story from Army Jump School to illustrate how whatever stupid thing we were dealing with at the time was eclipsed by the stupidity of that experience. That says something.

Hell Brett, there isnt really a good reason to send half the soldiers we send to Jump School.
To the original poster, Jump School is something we maintain more as a reward or incentive for people to put up with certain types of Bullshit and sign away another 2-4 years of their life than it is an effective combat doctrine. We have 2 true "Airborne" Jump units. And they've jumped all of about 3 times in the last 25 years. Not to mention there is significant risk of permanently grounding injuries that you can sustain at a school just so you can wear a piece of flair on your uniform that nobody else has.
Seriously, if your not Recon/SF/whatever where you have a real mission set that demands that capability be maintained, its a waste of time and a needless risk of good government equipment (you).
