Answer 1

Well, there are several airborne units on FT. Campbell, but you need to do certain things to ensure you go directly to those units and actually jump. FT. Campbell is home of the 101st ABN but it is a leg unit, not an airborne with only a some units internally on jump status. There are several other units on the post on jump status:

5th Special Forces Group

160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment

Pathfinder Companies in the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade and the 159th Combat Aviation Brigade of the 101st ABN DIV

G-3 and the cadre from some of the schools ran by 101st

So you would need to what unit you are going to first, then you will get your flash from there. Here they are below to search for:

Answer 2

I was in the 82nd for 5 years and I can vouch for the truth, it's not maroon, It's pink.

Fortunately, I saw the light and went to the SFQC...

Answer 3

it depends what unit or division

im not sure what thought. i know the beret would be maroon for airborne though
