Helicopter rappelling

In last night's dream, I was taking electronic target practice at guys who were rappelling from helicopters. They were wearing targets, and I was trying to shoot them with an electronic gun and be credited with points for hitting them before they reached the ground. I made my way to the hangar where they were based and inquired how I could be trained to rappel from a helicopter, because it looked fun, if a little dangerous. They told me that the first person from my organization who had been trained was (in reality) the supervisor of our technical resource center, a guy who (in reality) has to be pushing 275 pounds, mostly around his middle. In my dream, this was the same place I did my skydive, and it turned out that they did a variety of different types of certifications, including the one for rappelling and for shooting at rappelling invaders. I asked if there was a program to enroll in that would let me get qualified for all of them.
