How many days can a parachutist be suspended without major command approval?

A parachutist can be suspended for a period of 180 days without requiring major command approval. This duration allows for necessary administrative actions or medical considerations to take place without causing undue disruption to the individual’s career. This policy ensures that parachutists can maintain their status and readiness in a structured manner, while also providing adequate time for assessments or rehabilitation if needed.

It’s important to note that suspensions longer than this duration would necessitate major command approval, highlighting the importance of oversight in maintaining operational standards and personnel readiness within the parachuting program. Other durations mentioned either do not provide enough time for recovery or administrative processing, or do not align with the established policy for suspensions.
