What regulation states that if a soldier is current on Airborne jumps he/she does not have to do additional jumps in a 3 month period?

Regulations I've already researched are "FM 90-26 Airborne Operations" "IAW AR 40-501 Standards of Medical Fitness" "DoD Financial Management Vol. 7A,Chp 24" and researched local unit Policy Letters/Instructions

Only thing I know is: Rule 3: "The jump performed on July 13 is not applied for entitlement because it is one of multiple jumps performed in the same month. Only one jump per month is used for qualification to parachute pay (Table 24-3, rule 1).Feb 29, 2000."

Lol there is nothing that says that. That's like saying you don't have to do PT because you passed your APFT. You are required to jump the minimum number of times to maintain currency. There's no maximum. You can jump six times a week if that's the mission the commander dictates.

As a former S3/G3 Air NCO, it was my job to insure everyone was current in the unit, but if I manifested you, and you said you didn't need to jump, as long as everyone was current t, then you would be at parade rest in front of the LTC/ COL, when we got back!

Just wanted to inform the group that after speaking to my unit CSM and CDR it was confirmed that if you are current you do not have to jump just because you are manifested to jump. We also clearly defined unit training as in follow on missions i.e communications exercises with equipment, ftx events, ruck marchesl, etc.
