Here's info on anyone wanting to get on the next Dutch para course.
-10-17 June
-Military jumpmaster and all jumps from Antonov and/or military aircraft as available. Certificate will be new Dutch Army certificate for B Brevet
-If any of your guys want to join the tour 10-17 June, they better get on it quick so I can work something out for accomodations. However, if you can get 10 guys (minimum) committed I can see about running it again later this year. Possibly August. If everyone or most can stay in barracks type living quarters I can drop the price some.

Regards the "B Brevet". Dutch basic para is 4 jumps for B brevet and 8 jumps for A brevet. They look the same (like the brit) with A brevet wings having a star under the "ice cream cone". Anyone interested contact Capt Rob Krott, US Army (Ret) at para6@hotmail.com

I'm still working on the FFL jump. more news as it happens.

Too bad I'll be on Phase 2 at that time. Theres a month between the end of exams and Phase 3 then a month once its over. But thats in the future and I've still got Phase 2 to get out of the way. I think for most reservists May, June, July and August are pretty well written off. We send an Officer and a Sgt or Mcpl pretty well every year on the Canadian Jump course so my odds are good if I do my job.
