I've just signed my contract to be 25S Airborne, I've found lots of info on the job itself but nothing on the airborne aspect of it. I'm looking for insight, it's in my contract to be airborne, social want to know how that affects the 25S position

As a 25S, Airborne qualified, I get the more tactical or even better, Special Operation assignments. You'll get options like 112th, Special Forces groups, 173D, 82nd, and countless others. One thing I recommend when you get done with basic and start having access to Internet, create an army skillport account, and start the long process of correspondence training. Tons of possibilities with this MOS. Learn all you can, get proficient. And if you enjoy it, apply to JCU(Joint communication unit). Good luck, and congratulations.

What do you mean with “social want to know”?
Having Airborne in your contract means that after AIT you’ll go over Fort Benning, GA for parachute training. After that, a highly possibility of been assigned to a paid parachute position (jumps status) based on Army needs; most likely Fort Bragg (but there are others). Very cool posibilites of future assignments as you experience and proficiency increase.
Best of lucks on your future endeavors and keep your feet and knees together!

Ive been an airborne 25S for 9 years. The biggest advantage youll have is the assignments when it comes time to PCS. It opens the door for Group assignments, as well as the 112th Signal BN. I was stationed in Tampa for 3 years so it was pretty nice. When it comes time to move, you can ask about airborne assignments, or wait and HRC will prioritize you to airborne assignments because they spent the money to get you jump qualified. Good chance youll be in the 82nd at some point as well. Hope this helps.
