Semi-unrelated, because I never jumped because I am chicken-shit in the face of heights, but does anyone else think that foreign nations have some really cool wings/badges? I have yet to see a pair of foreign jump wings or marksmanship badge that wasn't cooler looking than ours.

I graduated from Airborne School in March, 1980 and was awarded El Salvadorian, Ecuadorian and Venezuelian jump wings. Was very proud of the fact I was earned Master Parachutist wings during my time in. It means you did the deal and were not just a five jump chump. Incidentially, I still hate legs.

German wings. I took part in an Operation Market Garden commemoration operation and earned German Wings there when I was 50 in 2010. I never got them, but I qualified for them.
