So I'm in my second Airborne unit. I've have been in Airborne units for over five years. I'm still chasing foreign jump wings. I wish there was a roster like they do for EIB with foreign jumps. I know Bragg has their toy jump but they don't have that at Benning. What have you done to chase them?

I was in USASOC my last tour and got my my Malaysian wings by accident. I was a pay hurt after being in Panama for a deployment. I got sent to jump with 3rd group and realized it was a foreign jumpstart and equipment when I got there. I could have gotten others but my platoon sergeant and wanted to spread the wealth and would send deserving troopers. The best was the Thai balloon wings...but our company was never in the rotation while I was there.

Do you earn foreign wings by jumping with a foreign unit or jumping in a foreign country?

When I was in it was just luck and timing I guess because they would come to Bragg and train and we would get the opportunity to jump with them and train with them also multinational Force coalition we jumped with the Egyptians and when we went to Honduras we got to train and jump with them

You take leave and go to Ft. Bragg during the toy jump just take your jump log to show that your're currently on jump status and bring a high dollar toy. I have been in the 82nd for years so you just need to show up.

So from what I'm seeing, its either utilization of rank for personal gain, or quid pro quo. I guess if it isn't sex they are asking for, its ok.
