If you join the us army will you jump out of airplanes?

Answer 1

You only jump out of airplanes if you volunteer for it - that's also an easy way to spot a phony veteran, is that they'll say they were "selected" to be in the Airborne, Ranger, Special Forces, Marine Recon, or any other unit of particular status.

If you don't want to be in the Airborne, just don't enlist under an Airborne contract. It's really that simple. Now, if you want to be assigned at certain duty stations, it may be a prerequisite for being in that unit. However, nobody's compelled to serve in any unit on jump status - it's entirely voluntary. A lot of personnel are what those of us who've been in units on active jump status like to refer to as "five jump chumps" or "almost Airborne" - they'll get Airborne in their contract (or during their ROTC course, for officers), do their five jumps, get their wings, and never jump again.
