Airborne qualified before the SF recruiters woud even talk to you. I think you're right. Sometime ago being Airborne qualified was a min standard for both SF and Seal school consideration. Mark my word, times be a changing fast in favor of expanding SOG teams. Watch the general army shrink into more
