Found that too. I believe the previous regulations were from 1955.

Did paratroopers have the Army, Air Force, and Navy style excellent service badges? If not, did they use another badge other than the jump badge. If they did use the jump badge, what about paratroopers with less than 10 jumps?

Paratroopers with fewer than 10 jumps were awarded the basic or "lysii" (bald) paratrooper badge.

I know that. I am asking if the paratroopers had the Army, Air Force, and Navy style excellent service badges. If not, what would paras with below 10 jumps get since excellent paratrooper only covers 10-100 jumps? If so, would paras with 10-100 jumps still wear the badge? Or, did paras get VVS olitchniks?

The "Excellent" Paratrooper badge should not be confused with these. This is an example of a sub-set of excellence within the paratrooper specialty. Most enlisted were never in service long enough to complete the necessary amount of jumps for an excellent paratrooper badge. Officer or enlisted paratroopers with 1 to 1000000 jumps would wear their respective jump badge and if warranted, a service-specific excellent badge. |

So, paratroopers would use the ground forces otlitchnik, not the VVS counterpart? What did the officer badges look like, or were they just the classification badges?

If you visit another thread, "Excellent" or "Otlichnik" actually required a minimum of 18 jumps, and yes, I've talked to many veterans and there is plenty of photographic evidence of demobilizing 2-year draftees with bald jump wings. I'm guessing, but 95% of US airborne parachutists are "5-jump chumps" who only attended jumpschool, but never served in an airborne unit so had the opportunity to amass a larger number. |
