I dunno, My cousin who is going to be doing PJ rescue in the navy probably has harder classes than most people. He failed one test and his instructor told him if he failed another he was done. They have to know EVERYTHING about their job, and they have to know the job of everyone else in the helicopter incase they get killed(save flying the damn thing). Not to mention knowing every basic thing about all their equipment, and the enemies, how to survive, and they even do torture training oOo: . I think that shit alone deserves at least a scholarship. Well.....that is if he wasnt fulltime.
