PS How old do you have to be to do Airborne Training?

Old enough to have achieved the following:

a.  joined the Army,
b.  completed Basic training,
c.  completed Trades training,
d.  served long enough that your unit receives sufficient jump course openings that you might have a chance at one, and
d.  proven your ability to your superiors sufficient to be recommended for that parachute course.

I suggest you start with "A", and follow through the remainder one at a time.
