    I have earned and was awarded several foreign wings while assigned to Special Forces: Royal Thai Army (TSF), Royal Thai Border Patrol Police (BPP), and Korean Army Jump wings (ROKA-SF). I jumped several times in other countries i.e. Pamama, Italy, Germany, Japan, Philippines, Morocco however never was awarded their wings. The 82nd was not very good of doing the paper work to award foreign wings.

    I went to the Canadian Jump school in Edmonton Alberta. I got to go with the guys from the Airborne Board. We went through with a french class during their "jump week". I never really realized how much english canadians hate the french canadians until actually seeing in person. I also have a set of Honduran wings. The first time in Hondo we jumped one of our CH-47s, the second time out of one of their WWII era C-47s.

    I got Irish and Chilean jump wing. Our chutes and birds but with their Jumpmasters. It was part of Fort Bragg's Toy Drop that they do every year.

    I was never around to participate in the Toy Drop during my time with Division, but when I got to 4/25 I was able to get on a Canadian jump just before my deployment. That was pretty cool...

    I got both german and chilian wings back in 2009 during or reunion week. We had both a chilian and german jumpmaster giving the commands using SF-10s and CH-47. I also earned a set of Laoian wings but are not officially able to be worn because of some red tape issues. So I have 3 sets but can only wear 2 out of 3.
