Do they have a green platoon in JBLM? The only one I know of is in Campbell but they do have 4-160th on JBLM.

You have to go to Green Platoon in Fort Campbell prior to going to 4-160th

As a Branch Manager, I can tell you the the Airborne population is not big. There I recommend that you contact branch and inquire about Airborne slots at Lewis. You will need to provide a Volunteer statement (provided by branch), most recent APFT, and an Airborne physical. If slot is available and once all docs are received they will coordinate with Schools Branch (Airborne Team) and they will get you a school date in route to your duty station, provided you are going to an Airborne assignment. If you get the Airborne Assignment and school date, you should contact your career counselor as you will need to reup for no less than 4 years if I am not mistaken, but you might will be able to get some money for your "troubles".
