CW2 Louis Melendez yeah, I was pretty happy to get on the Botswana Jump. I think they have only showed up once while I was at Bragg (for almost a decade.)

CW3 (Join to see) - Some are very difficult to get because those countries come to Bragg once in a while and everybody knows that and try to just jump with them.
(Bostwana, Mexico, Brazil, and many others for example)

Oh, I know that for sureCW2 Louis Melendez. In the decade I was there, Thailand came once, Ireland once, Botswana once, Israel didn’t show, and of course everyone has German because they always come.

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.

MSG Frank Kapaun Thanks to the Air Wing at Pope leaving and the GWOT deployments, I was only able to get my star in the 11.5 years I was at Bragg and Benning.
