Very.

My best friend is JM qualified and has more than enough jumps for his Masters but never really cared to submitt the paperwork to get either one of them.

Regarding Jumpmaster School, is it expected of lieutenants in Airborne Units to attend Jumpmaster school?

Don't forget you need:

TWO SAFTIES
ONE NIGHT AJ/PJ DUTY

in order to get senior or master rated.

Participated in 65 jumps to include 25 jumps with combat equipment;
four night jumps, one of which is as a jumpmaster of a stick;
five mass tactical jumps which culminate in an airborne assault problem with a unit equivalent to a battalion or larger, a separate company/battery, or organic staff of a regiment size or larger;
graduated from the Jumpmaster Course;
served in jump status with an airborne unit or other organization authorized parachutists for a total of at least 36 months.

The safety duties are a unit requirement in order to serve as a JM for a stick and have nothing to do with recieving an advanced Parachutist rating

New one on me. All my units required it so I thought it was standard.

Thanks for the knowledge, Ranger.
