If he was Airborne, wouldn't he have had to volunteer twice? Once just to join the Army, the second time to go Airborne? Puts the lie to her 'they duped him' statement.

Casey Sheehan probably did not go through jump training. The 101st Airborne Division, even though it keeps the "airborne" label, hasn't had any parachute units in years. It is now an airmobile division. In a textbook situation the maneuver units would go via helicopter to the battle. The division has an entire brigade of transport helicopters, UH-60 Black Hawks and CH-47 Chinooks, for that purpose.
