Paratrooper - what is it?

I love how the pictures completely didn't match up with the definition..
Anyhow, a paratrooper is someone who jumps out of airplanes (with a parachute) for the purpose of performing a military action on the ground. Normally used for behind enemy lines or hard to reach areas.

My uncle was a paratrooper in the army, he was in a lot more planes taking off than he was landing.

What does "Paratrooper" mean?

Soldier who is trained to jump out of perfectly good airplanes, for the purpose of inserting in enemy territory away from the heavy defenses around national borders and the front lines.

Paratroopers are pretty helpless during the airdrop, but their strength is in putting force in an area that isn't expecting it or prepared to react.

Paratrooper - slang

Similar to the concept of paratroopers designed by the military to be dropped behind enemy lines, knowing that they will fight harder when they have no option to retreat, paratrooping is when you go to a bar in another city intentionally not having a place to stay that night, because you will work harder if you have no choice but to go home with a girl.

"I really wanted to trade up to a hotter girl, but I had to take the sure thing because I was paratrooping"

Paratrooper

A soldier that has gone through Airborne School, and has jumped one time for each letter in the term "Airborne Paratrooper." After these 19 jumps, one can consider themselves a novice paratrooper that has earned the partial respect of seasoned vets.
Many people go through the school and never jump again. Refer to the term "five jump chump"

SPC Johnson: "Get out of here leg! Right, Williams? Stupid legs."

SPC Williams: "How many jumps do you have?"

SPC Johnson: "5. I did Airborne School and now I'm a paratrooper."

SPC Williams: "You're not a paratrooper. You 5 jump chumps always act like heroes."
