Mike posted the video of a Royal Marine using a jetpack to move between ships. Application for military use is in progress. It would be a very expensive and vulnerable way of moving troops on the battlefield.

But firefighting use is also in progress. Not very practical currently but technology continues to improve. Dubai is currently using jet packs on their waterways:

Dubai is known for its great wealth and extravagance. Now this city has not one but two jetpack prototypes in planning to be used by their fire department.

Jet packs are also expensive - $250K. More to be learned about capabilities, applications, weather restrictions, limited visibility use, flight duration, training, maintenance, safety, etc. They will probably become lighter and cheaper.
