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).

Some do, some don't. Only airborne personnel jump out of aircraft - not just infantry, but also support personnel, if they are on active jump status.

Such units include the 82nd Airborne Division, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, Long Range Surveillance Detachments (LRS-D) assigned to line divisions, the 75th Ranger Regiment, and Special Forces.

Which unit is better for an aspiring Army Ranger the 101st airborne or 82nd airborne and why?
Honestly? There'd be little difference. If you wanted to go into Ranger Regiment, and felt you were up to the task, you'd enlist under a RIP contract, and go straight into a Ranger Battalion after your entry level training (provided you passed RIP). Otherwise, if you went to any of the divisions, you'd have to first attend Ranger School and get qualified before you could transfer into a Ranger unit, and even then, only if they accepted you.
