Welcome to The Paratrooper Company

The Paratrooper Company is a centerpiece of the Airborne community. The continuing mission of TPC is the support of past, present, and future Paratroopers worldwide. Outlined below are some of TPC's ventures, which features a full service community as well as a Paratrooper/military themed online store.

ArmyParatrooper.org is the premier Airborne community on the internet. The APO staff consists entirely of active and veteran Paratroopers. APO is designed with several goals in mind, including the following:

Maintaining a central location for Paratroopers to link up with fellow "Brothers of the Silk" and showcase the comraderie that the Airborne brotherhood is all about:

ArmyParatrooper.org welcomes everybody, even if you are not a Paratrooper. Members of APO run the gambit from civilians to Special Operators, crossing all branches of the military. APO is a wellspring of knowledge, due primarily to the vast knowledge and experiences of the membership which cumulatively has seen action in all combat zones dating back to WWII. Everyone is encouraged to register and participate in the discussions, however it is important to note that ArmyParatrooper.org is not politically correct. Therefore, it is highly recommended to develop a thick skin to help ensure the best experience in the community. You will find an atmosphere where the members tell it like it is and political correctness does not exist.

To offer mentorship and assistance to those who aspire to join the military:

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 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 BTDT Paratroopers, active military recruiters, and other military veterans 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 (for those enlisted in the Delayed Entry Program)

More information on this program is available within the forums.
