I listed all the Department of the Army approved schools but maybe didn't make clear there are other schools a unit might send troops to.

These might be Division run Sniper Schools, MOUT Trainer certification, Drop Zone Support Team Leaders course from the USAF(DZSTL) USAF Cargo Loader Course and if they still run them Recondo School.

If your stationed in Europe you may get a foreign jump school wings from the Brits, Germany, Belgium, Norwegians I suppose it's not a great deal to get French wings anymore but there was French Commando School, better was the Belgium Commando School. State side you used to get Canadian wings but not sure if they have a jump school or aircraft for it any more.

I'll hammer myself on this, I did NOT list ALL the DA approved schools there are more but for the question these I think are enough.

Heh, I listed rope a dope at Campbell you think I'd leave out AAS at Bragg?[watch]
