If they’re doing weekend fun jumps again you just show up to Initial Manifest with your helmet, ID Card and dog tags.

You need to check with your S3 Air. There is a policy in the 82nd that you can't jump outside of your organization without approval. We have had guys hit by this. I haven't see it happen in a while but it would prevent guys jumping with other units. They used to do SPJP jumps on the weekends but they haven't done that in years. Jumps are hard to come by but you can always try to strap with any unit in your BDE if they are jumping.

Have to check with yourS3 Air., Long ago, Div ran Saturday jumps almost every month. We junped all kinds of weird aircraft, C47, CH 53, C7A, UH-!H, CH-47, UH-60. What ever was available. Sometimes Foreign J/M would show from DC, and you could get credit for foreign wings. 1 Sat I jumped 5 times, to finish out my Division Centurion Wings.

When Saturday Fun Jumps are posted, go to location with steel pot, and web belt with canteen. You will be automatically allowed to jump.

Just as I was about to ETS, I was stationed at Ft. Bragg. I wanted to jump one last time. So I contacted the operations NCO and asked him If I were able to jump with the reserves unit that was scheduled to jump that weekend. He got me in touch with the person who was manifesting soldiers scheduled to jump. He added me to the manifest. At the time I was also on terminal leave so I didn't need MY 1st SGT. to sign off on it or anyone from my unit.
