    There aren't any USMC Paramarine units, not since WW2 and they were disbanded half way thought the war.

    The Marine Corps still trains parachutist Marines. Once a Marine has completed Airborne School with the sister services, they are authorized to wear the coveted "Jump Wings" on their camouflage utilities while in garrison. Marines who earn Jump Wings often do so as part of their MOS/billet training, as Marine Recon, EOD, Air deployment, or as part of a reenlistment incentive.

    Here are links that explain the history in greater detail:

    what as in marines who drop from the sky? that would be insane if they made a regiment! Although the SAS and SBS are trained to do that, and apparently the para's are trained to know the drills to what goes wrong if they do land in water...nice idea, can i be a founding member?!
