RE: MOS 92R
Parachute Riggers attend 13 weeks of AIT at Ft. Lee, VA plus 3 weeks at Airborne School at Ft. Benning, GA.
From GoArmy.com -
Parachute Riggers are primarily responsible for repairing textile and canvas items, webbed equipment and clothing. Some of your duties as a Parachute Rigger may include:
*Inventory, clean, receive, store, and issue all airdrop equipment used in airdrop operations
*Rig supplies, equipment and vehicles for airdrop
*Assemble airdrop platform, cushioning materials, cargo, extraction and personnel parachute along with other airdrop related equipment
*Inspect, test and install extraction and release systems
*Perform technical, routine, and in-storage rigger-type inspection on cargo, extraction, and personnel parachute as well as other airdrop equipment before, during, and after each use
*Pack cargo, extraction, and personnel parachutes
*Perform unit, direct and general support maintenance on all parachutes, textile components and other airdrop equipment
*Use and maintain machines and tools for fabrication, modification and repair to parachute and other airdrop equipment
*Drop-test troop-type personnel parachute to check proficiency

RE: 92R
As a rule they don't see much combat but in these days of terrorism it's anybody's guess where an IED or VIED will be placed. But a 92R won't go out & actively seek combat. It's possible they could be tasked to go on patrols or be gate guards if they aren't occupied in their MOS just like any other Soldier.

In my job ...
...92Rs were very important. I have no idea if it's a boring job. Otherwise I don't know about all of their other duties besides packing, inspecting & repairing 'chutes are & if those jobs are boring or not. They're on jump status the whole time & receive jump pay.

Re92
Ok and they said if I don't pass airborne the army gets to pick my mos? What do you need to pass airborne? And what is option 3?
