I fell down the stairs coming out of the flight to Italy on the way to Iraq in 03'. That's the closest I ever came to foreign jump wings.

I was trying to outrun the local law-enforcement in Pohang, Korea (MEC-P). Nearly sedated, I departed the "86-Club's" second-story exit, "Miami Vice'd" it over the guardrail --right into my shipmates' arms. Although the scenario was well-documented in my SRB (thank you, Capt Nickerson), I never formally received my "jump wings." But in review, I'm OK with it NOT appearing on my DD-214.

A foreign (official) Commercial Helicopter license flying Bell Helicopters "might" qualify for a set of wings of that country. It's noted in my Military record, but nothing more than that. Sort of like the time my extended work with the 75th Rangers in the mountains of Colorado resulted in the award of an "Honorary Ranger" citation through "Channels" - I would never consider wearing "honorary jump wings". I'm trying to be a bit humorous as well as serious here. Apologies in advance - if needed.......

No foreign jump wings, always been in the Good Old U.S. Army. In essence, no matter what Jump Wings is being worn, you still had to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft.

As far as I knew it was ONE set of JUMP WINGS, if you wear Uzbeki-Becki-Beckistan wings those are the only ones you wear. My information is 50 years old and still worth every penny you paid for it
