What is better to join the military for US Army Airborne or Marine Corps Scout Sniper?
It all depends on what you want to get out of it.It depends on what you're more interested in. Marine scout sniper would definitely be harder, because it's more centralized in one job. With airborne you'd only have basics and then a 3-week airborne course. That's about it. You could also get into an air assault course, but it's not really difficult or necessary even to get the patch. It's all on your personal preference. Either way, good luck. Hope i helped a little bit. If you're looking into scout sniper look up the show "surviving the cut." it has full episodes on youtube and shows the training you'll go through. Marine sniper is one specific episode.

What is the percentage or number of training related deaths per year in American military airborne training?
The US Army Airborne School does not release death statistics. They do happen, however, they are far less than civilian skydiving deaths. This is because students who go through Airborne School receive extensive training on how to land and what to do in the case of an mid-jump emergency, such as a chute getting tangled or a chute not opening completely. This is all done before they even get in the plane to jump. They even jump off a series of towers, ranging from 35 to 250 feet, to learn how to land properly and how to depoly their chutes. Eventually, they learn how to peform a static-line jump from the back of a C-130 at 1,250 feet. Because of the nature of a static line jump, the jumper does not have to worry about deploying their chute, as it is already done for them by the static line. However, injuries from static line jumps can happen. The most common types are leg and back injuries from improper landings, such as forgeting to keep your knees loose and not in a locked position. This can break your leg or compress your spine. Concussions have also occured from jumpers hitting their head as they land. Another common type of injury are burns from the parachute line itself. Sometimes, the parachute line can rub across your neck and cause abrasions, called riser burn. This happens when you don't keep your chin against your chest when your chute deploys.
