If you are referring to the 82nd Airborne Division, then yes, everyone is supposed to be a Paratrooper and jump qualified.
However, due to recent op tempo and drops in retention and recruiting, it is harder to fill all positions with Airborne personnel, so the unthinkable has happened.... there are some legs in the 82nd.

I wouldn't say "most". If you really want to do it, get it in your contract. If it's not in your contract, it's not as easy to be able to get into the training later. Some units do require Airborne, though.

Getting tired of pretending to be a Marine? Now your next move is to be a retired soldier?

If you were ever in the military (like the marines 27 years ago like you claim) you'd know the answer. You are a poser

No. Most are not, but you can try and get it in your contract I believe.
