I was looking at some MOS positions and this one really caught my eye. I would love to be the one to jump behind enemy lines! But when I look it up, google says it was only during WW2, and then it was disbanded? So is this still a MOS for Marines?

As an initial entry MOS only riggers offer parachutist without having to pass some type of selection.
You can also try out for Recon or MARSOC but you have to pass their courses first.

How bad? How bad do you want to jump? If you go into anything saying to yourself "this is gonna be bad" you will most likely fail.

Thomas OReilly how bad? It's like a necklace in an expensive store. If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it. How bad? Worse than anything you've probably experienced yet.
The Army also has plenty of MOS's you can go to that offer airborne training. We have an entire division of paratroopers of all MOS's.

Thomas OReilly - Most things worthwhile come with a price. If you want easy, I would not go into the military.

Sgt (Join to see) - What I was meaning when I said 'How bad is their course' I meant what kind of things should I expect? I'm ready for a challenge, and I'm determined to do it!
