matthewcline 0 #1 December 10, 2004 Hey all this will get better exposure here; The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) "Screaming Eagles" Parachute Demonstration Team at Ft. Campbell Kentucky has 2 opennings on its 2005 Demonstration Team. Interested soldiers in the Army need to be either assigned to or on orders for Ft. Campbell, obtain a letter of release from their battalion, and pass the 2 week selection to begin the 90 day probation. On the Team jumpers will make 400 to 600 jumps annually. 50 of those jumps will be Demonstrations in LEVEL 2/Stadium landing sights. Jumpers will have the opertunity to earn the Freefall Coach Rating, Static Line Instructor Rating, Tandem instructor Rating and the PRO Demonstrator Rating. Jumpers will jump from; C-182's, UH-60's, CH-47's, C-130's, C-141's, C-17's and all other civilian skydiving aircraft. Jumpers will be issued all equipment to perform their duties, this equipment can be used by the jumper on off time at any USPA DZ in the country. Essentially you will be given almost $6000.00 of skydiving gear toi use on your own as a member of the Team. Any one interested in being on the team should contact SGT Dewey Vinaya at (270) 798-4410 or by e-mail dewey.vinaya@campbell.army.mil to arrange interviews.An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matthewcline 0 #4 December 10, 2004 AH Brother remember the "Pukin' Buzzards" happened to help start the dope on a rope trend that was so popular in the 40's! The Team has existed since 1958. It was a part time team that ran out of the now defunct Sport Parachute Activity. In '86 it became a full time team that worked 7 days a week at planning and perfoming demonstrations (along with all its own in house FJC's and Progression). The 101st Team has only closed ops for 2 occasions, '90/'91 for DS and '03 to mid '04 for OIF 1. MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
