    Cool Re: Women instructors for the IDF's parachuting course

    They just fling their static lines !! That's a no go in my book. I see a lot of similarities in their's and our BACs. It'd be cool as Christmas to jump with them folks as long as they didn't do the fling thing.

    All FYI - I just heard from my contact at the 507th and he told me they currently have 6 female instructors assigned to the companies in the BAC with a goal of 1 per platoon but having at least 1 per company.

    They also have USAF, USMC, and USN instructors assigned to each BAC Company, as well as the JM and Pathfinder schools, to serve as SMEs on uniform and standards issues with the students attending from their respective branches.
