manayunkman Posted June 16, 2016 Share #9 Posted June 16, 2016 For some reason many 17th AB troopers were jump and glider qualified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFH Posted June 16, 2016 Share #10 Posted June 16, 2016 Nice little grouping with the two qualifications as promoted by general William Miley. He gave the opportunity to all glidermen to obtain paratrooper qualification when the division was stationned at Camp Forrest, circa march to july 1944.

Richard Thanks for the explanation...it must have worked both ways...he qualified as a Paratrooper first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
