 Obviously, without John Masters, you can't have the airborne operation. As a John Masters instructor here at the United States Army Advanced Airborne School, I'm part of a small team that is tasked with ensuring that we train our John Masters, as well as our new jumpers here in the division. The 82nd Airborne Division is America's strategic response force. It is the only full airborne division inside the United States Army, and it is one of the highest guardians of standards inside the United States Army. Our entire purpose is to make sure that we can place paratroopers anywhere in the world on short notice to make sure that we can continue to defend all the things that our country holds near and dear. I think what makes me the most proud to be a Jump Master is it is by definition what it means to be a good leader. Lead by example, nothing is more important than leading my jumpers out the paratrooper door. Here at the schoolhouse we have an influence outside of the 82nd Airborne Division. As John Masters leave and go to other airborne units or even other non-airborne units, by teaching those Jump Masters how to be good leaders and how to run a safe operation, we can affect change in other airborne units, allowing them to safely execute the operation based off the standards that they learn here.
