The correct and updated information on Combat Jumps recently performed by Combat Weathermen is:
2 X static-line in OEF
2 X static-line in OIF
3 were mass tac, 1 was not.
That's all I know, and/or can share about it at this time.
I'm pretty PROUD of those guys, I can tell you...
Hoo-YAH!

OK, so have you CRG types started wearing the combat star on your jump wings before the US Army has officially called it a combat jump?
Just curious, because I don't think the USAF is going to go out on a limb and declare it a combat jump if the US Army doesn't do so...
I think it SHOULD be a combat jump, BTW - But I also think you should wait until it's official before wearing the "stain."
Just My Unsolicited Opinion...

WHY HASN'T THE ARMY LABEL IT A COMBAT JUMP YET?
I THOUGHT THEY HAD. WHAT'S THE HOLD UP?
I FIGURE IF THE JUMP WAS REAL WORLD, OPPOSED OR UNOPPOSED, AND THE MISSION WAS CONTUINIG OPERATIONS IN A DESIGNATED COMBAT AREA, THEN IT WAS A COMBAT JUMP.
