Paratrooper Wing
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010Do paratroopers stil exist?

Huh?
What are you asking?
There are still paratroopers, yes. Jump School is still going on every day.
Now if you are asking why there are so many military troops with wings on their chest but they never jump, it's because you don't have to continue to jump to keep your wings. You only have to graduate from jump school. The wings show that you are jump qualified, not in a jump unit.
Jump units usually have a tab over the patch on their shoulder that says "Airborne". Or their unit name may have it as in 101st airborne or 82nd airborne. OR they may run around saying "Hooah" and "Airborne" alot.
At least they did when I was jumping.
Hooah?
(that means do you understand?)
your response should be:
HOOAH!
(which means, Yes kind sir, I understand your line of questioning fully.)
