Just a quick question but can space wolf drop pods carry jump infantry?

In the wolf codex it says skyclaw assault packs can deep strike, but how about an unattached independent character with a jump pack? Does he get to also deep strike?

1) No, as vehicles may only carry infantry unless it states otherwise. Page 78
2) Page 47

1) There is no such thing as Jump Infantry anymore. Only Infantry with the Jump sub-type. As Infantry they can board transports, but having the bulky rule they occupy two slots.

2) A character with a Jump Pack gains the subtype Jump added to their type. That means they follow all the rules listed for models with the Jump sub-type including the ability to Deep Strike.

1) Not true; you are told they are a Jump unit AND an Infantry unit (twice in fact) and only one has allowance to board transports. Page 47
2) I was doing the teach a man, by pointing out the page which states they have the Deepstrike rule
