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?
