Up until the late 1990’s the Marine Corps only had a small group of units that were on parachute/jump status ie: Force Recon, Radio Recon Bn, Deep Recon Plts(DRPs within Bn Recon), Air Delivery, liaison and training teams. So I was shocked to hear that active Duty ANGLICO units lost their jump status. Too bad, I knew some great ANGLICO Marines from those days. In fact we were among the first to test MFF from the new C17’s. To be a member of the “Gold wing” club in the Marine Corps is no trivial thing, many Marines would love to be airborne qualified and on jump status, but the slots are limited.
Active duty anglicos should be jump qualified as well. Also, what's with anglico supposedly not training in Naval gunfire anymore? That's the whole point they even exist and operate in joint environments

Never understood why ANGLICO only maintains jump status for reserve Marines. Air Force CCT’s are active duty.
Why dont they have rank on their collars?

we do train in Naval gunfire still. Where did you even get that notion in the first place?
