Hello all, I've been looking around for a bit, probably not as much as I should've but my goal is to be an infantry Marine. But i was wondering if it would be possible if normal infantry Marines, not recon, are able to obtain wings and be qualified as a paratrooper. Kinda like the Army's 82nd or 101st Airborne units. If anyone has any information pertaining to this it would be greatly appreciated.
No. The USMC does not have paratroopers like the army does. If you want to get jump wings, you would have to be a Recon Marine or a Marine Raider (special operations).
Good luck.
Alrighty, thank you M Sgt, after the post I looked around a bit more and I found out about ParaMarines,they were active during WW2 from 1940-1944. Thanks again for the sitrep have a good day.
ANGLCO Marines are also "jump qualified" as part of their routine duties....
