Ok I'll throw my nickel in You can only wear foring qulification wings if you passed the jump course for the country in question as example Fort Bragg you participate in a refresher course, to learn US Jump procedures, I have the Text Books. If I remember It's Two jumps with the US and then you get a US certificate as your wings worn on the right side over your name on your Jump-Smock. And thats correct those smocks faded out with the Introduction of CADPAT, whoever some that did serve with The Vandoo's First Or PPCLI Second still use them, but It's by the Big Wigs.
Now I have Two Smocks with to different makers and my Wings are Completely Subdued Green as my OSONS Patch. |

As a Brit who qualified for Canadian 'Red Leaf' wings in 2004, I was told at CPC that Canadians could wear up to two different jump wings on the old Canadian DPM para smock. The US wings, if earned, had to be worn over the left breast pocket to honour the FSSF heritage. The US Ranger tab, if earned, could be worn at the top of the left sleeve and I have been told that the same rule applies to the US 'Special Forces' tab.Other jump wings, such as Brit or German, could then be worn at the top of the right sleeve of the para smock. Nothing is worn on the current CADPAT jackets. One set of foreign wings can be worn over the right breast of the DEU.
In the UK one set of foreign wings can be worn over the right breast pocket of the DPM para smock only, not on No2 Dress or Mess Dress. Colonels may get away with bending rules but us lesser mortals cannot! It could get expensive when you have to get another smock every time you get foreign wings, so most people only wear the prestige wings - US, French, German or Canadian. |

My mistake - as you point out, it is the Canadian wings which are always worn on the left breast. I meant to say that US wings were always worn over the right breast. I have a Canadian DPM jump smock from 2CER which has US wings over the right pocket and German wings on the right shoulder and, of course, Canadian White Leaf wings over the left pocket. British troops are issued Canadian wings if they qualify. I got the Red Leaf dress wings for wear on the DEU but a friend provided me with an old Canadian issue Red Leaf on merrowed edge olive green rectangle version, as worn on the old Canadian para smock. There is a Black Leaf version of that wing manufactured in England for those Brits who are qualified. It is not an issue item and I have never seen it worn. Everybody manages to find the correct Red Leaf version (or White Leaf if they have served on an exchange tour with a Canadian unit). I will look out for a Black Leaf version and PM you if I can get one. Regards Colin S |

I was going to contact Madame Marlene at the Airborne Kite Shop since we exchange @ at times.

Thank you for your contribution It's appreciated |
