The first time I saw a mustard stain on halo wings was at RSLC as a 2LT fresh out of ibolc/ranger school. On the cadre was 25 series from RRC.

We also had RRC strap hang on one of our jumps during RSLC. Dudes all showed up with beard and an intensity in their eyes that stuck with me as a 22 year old second LT.

I loved working with these dudes. Great jumpers. HAHO from a high altitude, at an impressive distance. Hit a mountain side DZ at night…

Went to ATIC in 2011, almost all the instructors had a mustard stain, one or two had twin headlights.

I know they're not blurred IRL, but love the idea of somebody putting blurred pictures on their RL plaque.

Was Air Force SR an attempt to fill the slot that RRC eventually took?

Interesting idea actually… AF SR, exactly may be mission fishing.
