Means you've completed jump school in the US Army as a parachutists. I have not but living next to Fort Campbell so many do its boring. To include two family members. Much respect to the crazy people who bail out of perfectly flyable airplanes. Its unnatural.

For anyone who doesn't know, Mthrockmor was referring to a tradition in the airborne, where when your jump wings are pinned to your uniform, the pinner punches the wings into your chest, driving the two spikes on the back of the badge into your skin. This of course causes some bleeding and hurts like hell, which is how the term "blood wings" came about. The tradition is more & more frowned upon by today's sensitive brass in charge, since it causes some pain, and we don't want our warrior's to experience any pain or any awful thing like that. Even so, it's still practiced behind closed doors. Hooah.

Russians did it too. Then again, they beat the crap out of each other as part of their training anyway. Spesnatz or whatever.

Yes, before the "new and improved" painless Army rules.
Hooah :rock

We did this as common practice with rank. If you got it right, you could get them to stick into the collar bone. :salute

No ,the biker thing is earning your RED wings, not blood wings.
No, Yes, but only inadvertently, and IN.

I've seen far more innocuous topics turn ugly far more quickly. Let's just say their senses are keenly tuned.
I'd lay you a bet that some clown's going to come rushing in shortly to empty his colon on the figurative glass table.
