Congratulations trooper! The proudest day of my time in the Army was the day I got my wings in 1967.

Congratulations! We are proud of you!

Why would anyone want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane?

I believe that Gunnery Sergeant Tom Highway had the same sentiment. IIRC, he said, "It is an unnatural act to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft." :biggrinjester:

I wear an Airborne tab on my uniform, but have no jump-wings. I love to tease my buddies that do have actual wings. Of course, they actually have something to brag about.

Congrats.

Any my reply is... "There's no such thing as a perfectly good airplane!"

Thanks for the replies everyone. It was a very proud day.
"Officially" blood wings are not allowed... but we'll just leave it at that. ;-)

Neither are "blood stripes" in the Marines, but............... ;-)

Congratulations, proud of ya! :patriot: :patriot:
