It is not too uncommon to see WMs with jump wings, although I admit I have never seen one with a scuba bubble. There are two WMs in my company that have gold jump wings, but that is because they are Air Delivery Marines. One is a Corporal (recently promoted) and the other is a Sergeant. It is part of AD school to be sent to Jump School and earn wings (although, admittedly, few of them have gold wings).

Captain Bolka is the officer we were thinking of.
Well I'm glad that this mystery has been solved. Like I said before, it's a small Marine Corps.

red patcher??????? and probably a re enlistment bonus for the bubble... not too many people willing want to have to have one more device they have to wear on their cammies and other uniforms...

had a MSgt get it as a bonus... said afterwards he wonders why anyone would ever do that as a bonus.
anything is possible, just depends on how badly the Corps wants you.

I got that... just wanted to figure out others who could be having scuba bubbles and jump wings... should have made that clear.

I was under the impression you had to be an 0321 to get a seat at SCUBA school... and as we all know... there are no Female 0321's...

Gold wings are different.
To get gold wings you have to complete 5 additional jumps and add that to the 5 you did in jump school.
This usually only happens if your unit is on jump status ie Recon, Marsoc, Anglico, Air Delivery, etc.
Or if you go to Jump Master school.
Of course there are always exemptions to the rule.

When i was in Okinawa last year i saw three or four pfc females with gold jump wings but they where Ls red patchers. and for guys in Radio Bn with Jump wings they usually attach to marsoc teams or recon teams thats why they prolly have them.
