BobCCK Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 "Soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division ready their gear prior to jumping from Air Force C-130J Hercules during a Joint Operation Access exercise June 24, 2013, at Pope Field, N.C. A total of 2,426 paratroopers jumped out of C-130Js assigned to Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, during the 12-day exercise. JOAX is a combined military training exercise designed to prepare Airmen and Soldiers to respond to worldwide crises and contingencies.

Spectre623 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Sonny. I sorta think the belt guys are safety inspectors as they have no chute on and have the nice shiny belts. Just a guess. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobCCK Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Google shows Special Weather personnel might require jump training. Any other AFSC require it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDizzle Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 SERE guys are allowed to maintain jump currency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank t Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 just a casual observation from a navy guy, the two guy's in the second stack right below t/n 83177, the big guy and one to his left. could they be PJ'S ( para rescue ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railrunner130 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Yep. They're below the 77. One guy has SSgt stripes showing and his buddy on the left with his back to the camera has faded ABUs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scnsdude Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I know a young man in weather stationed at Pope and yes some of them are jump qualified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWS Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Google shows Special Weather personnel might require jump training. Any other AFSC require it? CCT/SOWT/PJ require it. Those guys are probably TACP 18th ASOG @ Bragg or Weather Guys from 18th WS @ Bragg. I would bet TACP though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
