How Many
How Many
I was cleaning out some stuff last night and found my old steel pot. I use to put a mark on the head liner for every jump I made. Including Airborne school I had 56 jumps (from 6/76 to 2/79). I should note that 5 of them were fun jumps all in one day. Aviation boys needed some fly time so it was up and down as fast as they, could all Huey blasts!
So lets hear it.... How many jumps did or do you have. No civilian stuff and seperate your HALO from Static line. Indicate a Mustard stain so I can really be jealous and because that is to .
Added:
Huey
CH-47 (only Ramp Blasts)
C-130
C-141

My story.
Jump school = 5 - C-7, C-123, C-130, C-141
RIP = 7 all the same day CH-47.
Batt to 09 airborne including the above with no jump log about 100.
Edit:: Without a jump log it's safer to say 100 statics.
In Batt we were jumping at least once a week.
In 09 at Vicenza on the Parademo team free falls about 150 representing the Airborne in Vicenza and our country. Twice a week we jumped if not more.
3 year break in service
At LRSLC after a three-year break I had 15 minutes of “this is a PLF and that’s the reserveâ€

I have 68 static line jumps.
1994 - 1995 (21) with 1st SFG(A) at Fort Lewis and around the world (earned my Korean wings at Mae San Ri drop zone jumping with the Korean SF).
1999 - 2002 (47) with USASOC (SF Command G-2). I got to certify the SF10-A and got a water jump; one of my best jumps! Since I was in the HQ, I put a lot of Generals out the door. I also got to certify a drop zone in Virginia, and jumped from a C-47.
Jump platforms:
C-130
C-141
CH-47
DHC-6 (Twin Otter)
Casa-212
UH-60
DC-3T (C-47 variant)
Rigs:
T-10C
T-10D
MC1-1B
MC1-1C
SF10-A
Never had to use my reserve; Thank the Lord!

Around 60, my log is missing all of my jumpmaster school jumps and a few others but I think around 60. I was on the runway clearing team so I had lots of C-130 tailgates.

Blackhawk
C-130
C-141

I can't remember the different chutes but I missed Brit wings due to weather.

When someone says this I am pissed that I served under a pussy president. We never got to do anything except spend some time in Cuba and Haiti.rgrpuck wrote:I only have 1 jump.
The other 120 were practise.
Beat you to it SB.
I think about how we could have avoided a lot of crap by doing some preventive maintenance.

Reminds me of the 82D ABN DIV ASSN Convention I got to go to as a brand new 2LT:rgrpuck wrote:I only have 1 jump.

Old-timer asks me, "Hey lieutenant, how many jumps you got, anyway?"
I sheepishly replied,"Seven, sir." (that was jump school, Ranger school, and 1 in my unit).
He told me, "Aw, don't feel bad. I only got four."
This is what was on his association name badge:
I said, "Yes, sir. I can see that."
Jumpin' Jim says,

In the future if asked a question I should try and avert the attention from myself by lauding the experiences of others. (Great plan sir)
