Military Badge
Are there any civilian schools authorized by the Army to conduct Military Free Fall classes?
AR 600-8-22 states that to earn the MFF badge, you have to have either “Have satisfactorily completed a prescribed program of instruction in military free fall approved by the U.S.
Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (USAJFKSWC&S)”, or have made a MFF combat jump.
I was wondering if any civilian schools have received authorization to conduct MFF classes and award the badge.
Lol, no there isn’t.
That’s the JFKSWC’s way of saying “By the way, unless we send you to our school, you ain’t a certified MFF jumper”.
It sounds much better the way the AR phrases it, and it gives them the option to “certify” another training location later if they want to.
The MFF combat jump bit was tossed in to cover those that combat jumped FF in the past, before the badge was created.
