Dont waste time searching for good training sessions on the internet. Its simple just get training! Do as much running as you can, Hill reps etc all that good stuff. Then bang out pressups and situps in the evening. Get training joe!

The superman jump is probably the most dangerous. I saw one lad do trip and do about 3 somersaults and land in the net.

Trust me you wont regret it. Just wait and see!

Not many fatal accidents but there are alot of injuries. The dodgy bit occurs when their are alot of people in the air at the same time and air steals occur. Also the landing can cause drama's aswell especially if you fail to lower your kit in time!!

The trainasium is the buckshee'st event on P-Coy so dont worry about. You do get plenty of goes prior to P-Coy. According to the Channel 4 documentary on P-Coy 'it's only the height of a 5 storey building'

Any idea's where you can get a copy of the program on dvd?

Nah I'm sure the bit where the Marine recruit starts crying when he gets in the jack wagon alone puts the Commando series to shame.

You dont do pressups & situps at selection. Selection is very easy. All it is is a 1.5 mile run which you should be looking at under 9 Minutes. Some pullsups get over 10+ then some buckshee weightlifting exercises. P.S Make sure the staff there dont try and fob you off with ' Your to small to join ...

Thrash yourself!

You should be able to change your capbadge from rifles to para regt when you get to training.

Go Para regt mate. After a few years you could transfer to SFSG and work alongside SF

You get all sorts of people who join the paras. i know a few lads who joined up as toms after they graduated from uni.As long as you meet the fitness requirements and are mentally stong then you shouldnt have a problem.

You aitn going to find out what its like until you give it a go.

Yep thats what i was worried about when i did a jump in the US because you have to 100% commit yourself to jump. where as if you jump over here in the UK as soon as you get to the door your getting pushed out whether you like it or not.
