By Zoila Palma: The Belize Defence Force is recognizing a historic achievement as Sergeant Jereen Chun becomes the first female soldier in the history of the Belize Defence Force to successfully complete Airborne course.
The BDF explained that Airborne School is a demanding three-week course where soldiers are trained in military parachute operations, aircraft procedures, parachute landing techniques, and airborne missions. To earn the coveted Parachutist Badge, students must successfully complete five parachute jumps from military aircraft, including the C-130 Hercules and C-17 Globemaster III, during both day and night operations.
Sergeant Chun is now qualified as a military parachutist capable of participating in airborne operations.
“Her accomplishment reflects courage, discipline, and professionalism while also highlighting the strong military partnership between Belize and the United States.
Her success represents another important step forward for women in the military and serves as an inspiration to future generations of Belizean soldiers,” the BDF noted.
“Airborne All the Way!”
Congratulations to Sergeant Chun on this outstanding accomplishment and for proudly representing Belize on the international stage.
