Earning Multiple Wings

[Toasterz12]

As a freshmen in highschool, I'd like to become a Naval Aviator. However, I'd like to earn my Naval Parachutist wings on the side. I was wondering if that was even possible since I won't be jumping on a regular basis. I was curious if anyone had done this. If so, how?

They're not merit badges and it's not a choose your own adventure book. Make up your mind if you want to fly planes or jump out of them.

It's not very common for an aviator to go to jump school and it's not something you can just go do because you want to. However, there are at least some unusual tours, usually in the disassociated window, that might require it.

Why? You can't be every member of the A team...

You can go enlisted, Airborne, get your jump wings, pay for College with Post 9/11 GI Bill, get a degree, get commissioned, get picked up for pilot, get your wings, and then you got it.

Just as easy as that...

I have both.

I have both.

That's pretty sweet.

What was your progression regarding obtaining both?

Why would you want to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft?
