I would like to be a paratrooper but then leave the army with a trade, can I complete training and an apprenticeship?

Hi there, Every job in the Army offers qualifications to gain but joining the Parachute Regiment you won't gain a trade. You can always change jobs further down the line and get a trade if that if what you'd like. There is also ways to be an airborne tradesman by completing P Company and your Jumps course and then you can get attached to the Parachute Regiment with your trade. Thanks Aaron
