I'll bet barely any, (probably none), of the complainers have or would complete the eight jumps required.
I thought he only did one jump? I heard it was considered too dangerous to do the last qualifying jump (night, full kit, continuous stick out of both side doors) so he was allowed to qualify after a single aircraft jump. I also heard he was excused milling on the grounds that it would be unfair on his opponent.
Whilst on the subject, does anybody know why Wills didn't get his para wings while he was on his army stint?
