The truth is that the vast majority of that or any other craft is learnt not in USASS or whatever other course preceeded it, but in actual OJT with your permanent party unit. USASS and all these other schools really just give you the fundamentals. You develop the real skills by actually doing these things at your unit. If he was operating in a sniper role in an airborne unit for any period of time he was no doubt quite adequate to the task, even if airborne guys are too stupid to wait for planes to land before disembarking...
Hehehehehe.
