In lieu of jumping, paratroopers must attend airborne refresher training during the waived period to maintain proficiency.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I remember during those wonderous Carter years when we would jump three times in one day (once for the previous three month periods, once for the current period and one for the next period) in order to stay proficient in the days lacking money for aircraft.
