    this may sound like a very walter mitty question but sorry i dont know.

    I know ARW represent the defence forces in parchuting comps around the world but do you need to be in the rangers to jump out of perfectly good aircraft?Is their any dedicated smaller paraschute regiments in the PDF?

    thanks in advance

    if you join the army with some parachuting experience you have a better chance of gettin your claws into that course, otherwise take a number and get in line!! (note: long long line!)
