Are soldiers of other MOSs paratroopers or are only 11Bs who have completed infantry AIT real paratroopers?

I say this is wrong to only say infantry they aren’t as skilled as Special Forces or Delta who have to stay on jump status or what about people like me a Parachute Rigger who has to pack and jump everything out there we are more skilled at being real paratroopers than most!

SFC(P) (Join to see) - You're apparently reading into my comments. SF and Delta Force meet my definition, as would you.

Sir, I’m not reading into your comment at all I was just giving examples for the future recruit if he is that uninformed!LTC Kevin B.

SFC(P) (Join to see) - This all goes back to what LTC Kevin B. said, it depends on the definition. If you actually look the word up you'll find differing definitions. Some claim that a paratrooper is a soldier trained to jump from an airplane. Others say it is an infantry unit trained to jump from an airplane into combat. I personally lean toward a definition that speaks to what must be done on the ground after the jump. In other words, I'd call Infantry soldiers (or those in support that jump with them), in Airborne units who are trained and ready to fight the enemy by those means, paratroopers. Don't take that as an offense to anything you do as a rigger. I myself am airborne qualified and served as an Infantry officer in the 101st Airborne and do NOT consider myself a paratrooper.
