Not only am I in a non-combat MOS but I'm also not active so special skill badges are out of my reach . So I have a few questions about freefall badge. It's for HALO jumps right? Are there specific requirements for it? Howcome you don't see many people with it?

HALO is pretty much reserved for the SPECOPS types.

Quoted: HALO is pretty much reserved for the SPECOPS types.

Yep... Unlike regular airborne school, it hasn't been turned into an enlistment incentive.

From the limited info I've heard, it's pretty hard to get in it even as SpecOps, so if you don't really really need it, you're not going.

What is "SpecOps"?  Do ya'll mean "Special Operations Forces" AKA "Special Operations?"  AKA "SOF"?

The Military Freefall (MFF) Badge is awarded to graduates of the Military Freefall (MFF) course conducted by the US Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School.

A "Google" search for "Military Freefall badge criteria" got me the USAHRC page here which has the appropriate link towards the bottom.

A search for "SPECOPS HALO" gets nothing.
