A parachutist performed a static line jump and a HALO jump in May. What type of pay will the member receive for May?

A parachutist who performs both a static line jump and a HALO (High Altitude, Low Opening) jump would be eligible for Type 2 pay. This type of pay is specifically designated for those who conduct jumps that require a high level of skill and carry inherent risks, such as HALO jumps. While Type 1 pay applies to static line jumps, it is the HALO jump that qualifies the member for Type 2 pay.

This intricacy highlights the specific categorization of jumps and the corresponding pay structure. Since the HALO jump involves jumping from higher altitudes and opening at lower altitudes, which is a more complex skill set, it justifies the Type 2 pay for that month, encompassing the more specialized nature of HALO jumps while also acknowledging the static line jump performed. Thus, the member's participation in both types of jumps in May leads to the appropriate compensation reflecting the enhanced risks and training requirements associated with HALO operations.
