It has been over twelve years since I jumped from a high performance aircraft, hopefully ending next week. What is the longest time you went between jumps in the military?

My last jump was in September 1988, reconstructive surgery in October. I'm done jumping.

I graduated Airborne School the beginning of October, 2013, and I just got my 6th jump a few weeks ago.

I graduated jump school in 1991. I went on jump staus from 1994-1997 then again in 2000-2004. My final active duty tour was 2010-2011 in an 5P slot. But I avoided jumping across 2 fiscal years. Both my pay hurt jumps were scratched. I do regret it. I was in the EUCOM AOR and could have scored German wings. I retired in 2012. 41 jump for me.
