Parachutist Badge

Maybe another way of getting foot

In the door at least for a C&P?

The Veteran's personnel records indicate award of the

Parachute Badge, and thus there is certainly evidence of

participation in parachute exits from an aircraft. The

activity of parachuting from an aircraft is, by nature,

stressful on the joints of the body. Given that the Veteran

has served as a parachutist, his statements of being injured

while exiting an aircraft are certainly possible, and his

award of the parachute badge gives credibility to his claim.
