Could be any MOS. They pretty much run officers through jump school for funsies. Officers might serve in one branch, but actually have to perform in another (e.g., a serving infantry officer who was actually qualified as an armor officer). So those qualifications don't make them specific to any MOS.
A Anyone serving in the 75th Ranger Regiment is on active jump status. As for simply being Ranger qualified, being jump qualified isn't a requirement. However, for someone to be sent to Ranger School without being sent to jump school first is rare, but not entirely unheard of. totaly absurd: To be part of the 1st,2nd or any ranger Batt you must pass airborne training You must be jump qualified no if and or buts. The only persons who have gone thru ranger trianing without being jump qualified are trainees during WWII Ive served with the 1st ranger batt,2nd ranger batt,1/509 airborne and 5 special forces.
No, but if you're being sent to Ranger school, you'll more than likely be sent to Airborne school enroute, if you're not already jump qualified. You must be jump qualified to serve in any of the Ranger Battalions, however.
No. Not even close, even though they do remain on active jump status.
Only while you're actually on active jump status. If you're jump qualified, but serving in a leg unit, you won't receive any extra pay.

Yes, women assigned to the US Army's 75th Infantry Ranger Regiment are required to attend the Airborne Course and Ranger Indoctrination Program (RIP). These courses are essential for all soldiers in the regiment, regardless of gender. It ensures that they are qualified and prepared to perform the duties and tasks expected of them in the 75th Ranger Regiment.
You can enlist under a RIP contract - you'll go through RIP after your Entry Level Training and jump school, and, if you pass it, you'll be assigned to a Ranger Battalion.
There are courses for skydiving.
there is no prep on the books. I qualified jump school at age 17. Just being young and dumb helps. Like everything else i.e, ranger, special forces, etc...... you want it, go get it. That's all. And last, mind over matter..................
Well, do you mean simply go to Ranger school, or be in the 75th Ranger Regiment? To go into the 75th Ranger Regiment as lower enlisted, you'd have to enlist with a RIP contract. After you completed OSUT or Basic/AIT (depending on your MOS), you'd go to Jump School, then you'd attend RIP. If you pass RIP, you'd be assigned to one of the Ranger Battalions. Once you're promoted to the rank of Specialist, you can attend the Ranger School (whether you're assigned to the Ranger Regiment or not). If you complete Ranger School, you'll be tabbed and Ranger qualified. If you weren't in a Ranger Battalion prior to Ranger School, you'd then be eligible for reassignment to one.
1000 - 1500 feet is a typical jump. The Rangers jump from the same height as any other paratrooper does.
