What foreign wings have you earned?

[sfmike]

Been pretty lucky, got my Belgian in Belgium out of a Baloon in 93, and got my British out of a "Sky Van" in 2000 in England. We get them alot the "new way" now due to the international parachute competition in RI. I had a buddy while working at SOCEUR who had my orders for my foreign wings transferred into "EUROPEAN WINGS" but I don't wear them. I wear my beligian due to the fact that we did 7 jumps with them and the balloon jump is a cool story. They were super unsafe though!!!!

I, too have Belgium Jump wings and a Belgium Commando Badge. I got the in 1966 when I was invited to attend training by my cousin who was the commanding the Third Para Brigade.

I also have RVN Wings.

Ok SFMike I am going to have to ask you to head over to the intro section of the forum and make a proper introductory thread and let us know who you are. Take a look at some of the examples and make it count. This is a requirement per site SOP.

Cleaning out the closet in my 'junk' room and ran across my Italian parachutist badge ID - I was a 25 year old SSG in 10th SFG with just under 6 yrs AFS and 4 yrs TIG - sure wish I was doing it again and looked that young!

That's cool Purple . I'm not going to say that I was barely a year old when you got it though .

Mine are from Chile. The, the all powerful S1 fucked the goat on that one. Not a sould got orders for the badge. I wear them anyway, unless I'm going to a board.

The belgian Wings are my Fav. Got them in 2000 with Cco 2/325 AIR. We went through the Belgian Para Commando course and airboren school at Shaffen DZ in Belgium. We stayed with 1 PARA in the city of Diest at the Citadel. They have been disbanded and the Citadel has been retired as a military instilation! Remember 1 Para

My company went to Camp Darby Italy in late 1981 for a joint exercise with the Folgore (Italian Paratroops), and we all got a chance to get our Italian wings.

My first set were Honduran Earned during "Cabanas 93" In Honduras. Our chutes our planes JM's from both.
Got my Venezuelan in Venezuela useing all their stuff
Ecuadorian actually went through their entire course and made five jumps to get them (My favorite)
Chilean our chutes their plane/JM's in Chile.
Spanish SOF/CSAR at Red Flag Nellis AFB attached to ODA 736 (I was a one man B Team) our chutes their C130 JM's from both. (Second favorite)

Honsetly never checked to see what was authorized or not. I was always told that with proper documentation "ONE (1) foreign decoration could be worn on Class A uniform" I always wear either the Ecuadorian or the Spanish and have never had a problem.

I got others from JRTC rotations but dont really count them since they were at FT Polk or Chaffey SP? and basically just had foreign guys on the jump. Everything was our stuff. If that really counted then I got Korean wings during JM school since we had a Korean student in the course but I know that dosent count.... We all got certificates and did a wing exchange at the end of the JRTC rotation but that was just for morale I guess???
