This guy I began working with is claiming multiple unauthorized jumps, i.e. not havin been airborne qualified.
I recently read in the Army Times about some NCO from 82nd that was caught forging qualifications and falsifying jump logs.
How common do you think that is, that someone makes "multiple unauthorized" jumps?
Forging an Airborne certificate - I have not really heard of that I have seen a couple of "odd" things during my time in the 82nd. I could see it happening though. Fake jumps are routine or completely forbidden depending on a number of circumstances. In my time in the 82nd - things were a little different than today with our nonstop 12 months+ rotations.
Honestly - I would call B.S. if some random person said they jumped w/o actually being qualified. Just a general baseline that is very rare.
He said he jumped - he would know the names of DZ's, you don't forget that, or the basic commands - Standby, stand up, check equipment, every joe knows the order, especially an 82nd guy. Or what chute he was under, T-10D, T-11, most likely. If you want to hit him up, he would know the BCT's by name 3/325 Blue Falcons ect.
I don't know, if you want to ping him a little.
