(Join to see) The path to the 82d goes through Airborne School. Volunteer for Airborne School. It will get you to an Airborne unit in a paid parachute position (PPP). Among those is the 82d, but could also be 4/25, 173d, an SF group or a few others.
What is "it"? "...My AIT does offer it but only to the top 5% ?"
Do only the top 5% get offered an Airborne slot?

LTC Jason Mackay normally the airborne school recruiters come to the AITs looking for people to volunteer. But if they don't, the second option is to call your branch manager and tell him you want to volunteer. You'll have to go get an Airborne physical and send it to them as well. Airborne community is always looking to fill slots for entry level Soldiers.
If you can't get it coming out of AIT you will he allowed to request it after one year at your first duty station.
Call your branch manager sooner than later. Once they give you an assignment its a lot harder to switch. The number is on the HRC website

My Understanding is You either needed to have contracted at MEPS for 68W with airborne school specifically in the contract, or the schoolhouse states that airborne slots opened up and they are looking for X number of people interested in going with a change in their orders. Sometimes when you get orders to a duty station where airborne units are present you may matriculate into those units and get the school but it’s not like you can walk into anyone’s office and say you want to go airborne and poof! You go airborne.
