Jump school became a joke because of lowered standards
I'm not qualified to criticize the standards because I have never served in the military. That being said....
I attended a graduation ceremony at Fort Leonard Wood this past summer, my nephew, a newly-commissioned 1st Lt. in the Reserves, was graduating from an officer's field training course. Several women in the group of maybe thirty.
I'm recalling six sets of jump wings, four of them were worn by women. My nephew told me that, while he wanted to do it, he would have a hard time getting approved due to budget constraints as it is not essential for his MOS.
(FWIW, he's already been skydiving with my 82 yo mom )
