Are there any airborne reserve units with 35M slots?

Not much other airborne in the USAR that I know of, SSG (Join to see), except maybe civil affairs. There are airborne quartermaster rigger companies and the 20th SFG(A) in the ARNG. That's about it, I think.

SSG (Join to see) there may be some in the XVIII Airborne Corps. There is a pilot program that has reservists within active duty units. Eventually 82nd Airborne Division will have slots for either Guardsman and/or Reservists as well if the program continues.

SSG (Join to see) - One has wings the other two are not. They are not airborne slotted, but the Corps has allowed him to jump.

LTC (Join to see) - So are these E7s training NCOs? Also what do you think would be the potential for them to get sent to airborne school? Or how likely is it for them to get a walk on? Thanks!

SSG (Join to see) wright they would get a slot from the Corps and go if they wanted. They just would need to put in for the school and be put on the OML. Obviously being an airborne unit the OML is just a wait list to get a school slot as we get slots. It is more if they want to go or not. The two did not want to attend. They are "administrative" NCOs if that makes sense. They help the active manage the reservists and help out with random taskers as well to support the Corps.

Perhaps psychological operations, SSG (Join to see). The 15th Psychological Operations Battalion and its subordinate companies are USAR and airborne.

SSG (Join to see), I was in the 15th POB from NOV81 to MAY86. It wasn't airborne at the time, so I made no leaps with them!
