My jump log shows 33 Jumps from Oct. 00 to Present

I've jumped the following aircraft:

UH-H1 (cherry blast x2)
C-130
C-160
AN-2 Antanov
HIP-8, this and previous were Russian aircraft that I jumped in the Czech Republic
UH-60
CH-47

I have the following foreign wings:

German, Czech, and Indian (not authorized for wear on the service uniform)

And I've Jumped the following Parachutes:

German T-10, T-10C/D, MC-1B/C/D, T-10 reserve, MIRP reserve, and the soft loop center pull MIRP.

Wow, have I really done all that in the short few years I've been in?

Oh yeah, I forgot C-141, I got one while I was in Jump School. OOPS oh well.

And as far as the combat jump, good lord, that's a club I would be honored to be in, but to this point am honestly glad I'm not. But when/if my time comes, I'm so there.
