There are actually 3, the team commander, the XO, and the operations officer. There are also the pilots, who are warrant officers.

As far as why officers are not active competitors, or demonstrators, its the same reason officers are not machinegunners or tank drivers: Officers get paid the big bucks to command and lead rather than perform individual tasks. To put it another way, as any NCO will tell you: "NCOs and enlisted men work for a living!"

The Aviation Officer is a fourth commissioned officer, and the Property Book Officer is an additional Warrant.

The Commander, XO, and OpsO travel and do demos, but not regularly.

All the clubs allow Officers to jump.

The various teams each have their own policy.

Most of them have officers as Team members and they do jump.

I have been on 2 team for the Army and both allowed officers to jump on occasion, but only 1 allowed officers to be "assigned" to the team.

An Instructors first concern is student safety.
So, start being safe, first!!!

I remember one afternoon when TOP reached for his hat and stepped outside with the CO's hat on his head. When it was pointed out, he pulled it off his head and looking at the two silver bars said, "Great Christ...I've been demoted!"
