So the times may be a' changin.Īpples and Oranges. Interestingly, the Navy's freefall course is now nearly identical to civilian AFF - and the Army and Air Force are looking into the same sort of certification program. >comparing it to my AFF course, I realize that the Army did their very best >I enjoyed Airborne school and my jumps there, but looking back on it and Services may onlybe awarded if the Soldier meets the Army criteria for the badge. Award of the basic Parachutist Badge or advanced parachutist badges awarded by other U.S. Jumps with civilian parachute clubs will not be counted in the number of total jumps required for each badge.Į.

I think that he doesn’t know what he is talking about but I didn’t want to correct him without having more knowledge about it. Has anyone heard of someone getting jump wings awarded via civilian sport jumping?
