ArmyParatrooper.Org - Home of the Airborne

Welcome to APO! You have found the premier internet Dropzone for all Paratroopers to link up with fellow "Brothers of the Silk". Our community showcases the camraderie that the Airborne brotherhood is all about. Here at ArmyParatrooper.org, we have two main purposes:

• To be the best place on the internet for Paratroopers of all eras to gather and take part in fellowship with other like minded individuals that have served their country honorably.
• To offer mentorship and assistance to those who aspire to join the military.

We welcome everybody here, even if you are not a Paratrooper. Our community has members that run the gambit from civilians to Special Operators from all branches of the military. Our members have seen combat action in all combat zones dating back to WWII. We encourage everyone to register in the community and participate in the discussions. Our community is not politically correct and a thick skin is definitely needed to survive here. Here you will find an atmosphere where our members tell it like it is and political correctness does not exist. Too often people go through the enlistment process uninformed and unprepared, relying solely on the information passed from unreliable sources or their recruiter for guidance. This often results in unrealistic expectations and/or missed opportunities. The goal here at APO for those of that are aspiring to join the military is to ensure that you are as prepared as possible mentally and physically for your upcoming military career as well as having the knowledge necessary to make the best informed decision when the time comes to sign your enlistment contract. To help accomplish these goals we have established a mentor program. The program matches a prospective service member (you) with a BTDT Paratrooper to help you develop your physical fitness as well as help prepare you for the process of enlisting. To qualify for the mentor program, there are a few requirements:

• Have an interest in joining the military
• Be 16 years of age or older
• Have at least 6 months remaining before your ship date

More information on this program is available within the community. If you have any questions, comments, or any other issues regarding this program or anything else, please email us by clicking the "Contact Us" link in the menu bar above. To come find the brotherhood, click on the "Community" link in the menu. We look forward to seeing you on the boards.

Paratrooper Creed

I volunteered as a parachutist, fully realizing the hazards of my chosen service and by my actions will always uphold the prestige, honor and high esprit-de-corps of the only volunteer branch of the Army. I realize that a parachutist is not merely a soldier who arrives by parachute to fight, but is an elite shock trooper and that his country expects him to march farther and faster, to fight harder, to be more self-reliant, and to soldier better than any other soldier. Parachutists of all allied armies belong to this great brotherhood. View All
