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?

Got Canadian Jump Wings jumping with the CSOR and 3 RCR in Ft Harrison, MT with Group. Also got to do the Norwegian Foot March and German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge events with Group. We just found local foreign liaisons, like the German Intel Liaison at Huachuca, and asked them what it took to make it happen. Things just went from there.

I received German Jump wings as a Young PFC while stationed in Bragg. Also received Korean Jump wings while serving with group. You get better chances with Group though

I got my Italian Jump wings at the toy drop and then the Columbian Jump wings the very next year. I just got lucky and always did the lottery.

Excellent question, sir. Well, when I was in USACAPOC (Airborne), it seemed that the way most setvicemenbers that their foreign jump wings were either by going out of their way to get them (ie, attaching to an active unit) but more commonly, it was the luck of the draw. For example, a unit in USACAPOC could be selected to jump with an allied country's airborne forces in a training exercise. So essentially, your options are to go out of your way, research, and network your way into a position where you coulr earn them, or just leave it to luck, sir.
