cherry

used in US Army as a derogatory term for paratroopers who just finished the jump school and never jumped in Division. normaly there is some unofficial ritual that exists within the unit, that is carried out during the paratrooper's first Division Jump, like having a cherry pie in your rucksack or being the only person to jump on the pass.

In 82 Airborne your cherry jump will be without parachute.
