I have been lucky enough in my career to earn German Jump Wings, Chilean Jump Wings, and Canadian Jump Wings. I normally wear my German Jump Wings but I have been chasing the Spanish Jump Wings for over a decade with no success. Maybe when I get to Italy this year I can finally find a Spanish jump in the area haha

What did the training consist of? That sounds like it would be pretty fun to experience.

CPT (Join to see) - the two parts that stick out for me are the slide for life from mountain top across the valley into a big pole, and a simulated helo rappel off of a rope bridge that felt like it was at least a 100 feet up. I hate heights, but it was a good time, and there are a few videos of it on YouTube. ROKs are freaking crazy when it comes to that stuff, no fear whatever.

I got the silver German Schutzenshnur when i was an E-2, barely in my unit a month. almost didn't get to get it as too many people signed up, luckily a M-60 qualification range came up and the slot opened up for me.

The Norwegian Foot March badge, mainly because no one has f***ing clue what it is when I wear it.

I have only seen this one conducted once, but I did not have a chance to participate unfortunately.

The Thai wings are beautiful. Especially the hand sewn ones. My wife's first jump out of Airborne School was a CH-47 Thai jump.... how lucky is that? She still rubs it in my face that I do not have Thai wings yet.
