Simply a combat engineer who is jump qualified. Although Airborne is supposed to denote someone who is actually on active jump status, a lot of these "almost Airborne" types, whose only jumps were the five jumps they did in school, flaunt their jump status and the word "Airborne" quite a bit, as well, even when serving in leg units (and even if their entire enlistment was/is served in leg units).
