The 'best' battalion award is not based on accidents but on points systems for exercises carried through the year.
I know based on point systems but surely the dunking incident would have set them back right?espn said:Wow.. 24 yrs old 1SG already. Pitiful, think that NSF would have gone far.

I won't discuss on the point system, because it doesn't matter to me, what matters is that lives have been lost. Having the best point system or calculating the points doesn't matter anymore.nemesis32 said:I know based on point systems but surely the dunking incident would have set them back right?

this is a true accident happen to my senior many years back
after he jumped, the parachute opened as usual, but a strong wind blow him off the course and end up he flew above another parachute
due to the low pressure create above the parachute, my friend's parachute COLLAPSED and he FREE FALL and hit a tree, then landed on a solid ground.
The branches probably saved his life but he was in hospital for 6 mths....and then downgraded to become storeman
