This is kind of a weird question and when I met General Brown a few years back I didnt think it was time for trivial questions. Here goes...Is the 160th on jump status? Do certain personnel jump or no one jumps at all?
Being ABN qual'd is different than being on jump status. There are plenty of soldiers in the Army who have wings but aren't in units who are "on status". Being "on status" denotes that a given unit jumps either as a unit (ie: 82nd ABN DIV) or has slices (sections) who jump (ie:4th BCT of the 25th ID.)
There are also soldiers within units who are "on status" but they aren't ABN qual'd and as such don't jump. They are issued the Maroon beret as a Unit headgear, but dont have wings.
