PARAS NEXT TOUR

[young gun]

What are you all thinking will be the outcome regarding the paras doin another tour of afghanistan?.

[Nero]

Do you mean when will their next tour be?

[Tab]

Well they will run around in the heat and probably exchange fire with a few hot heads, if they are lucky they will all come home, with a good tan and a bar to their medal.

[young gun]

They are meant to be doing a tour in 2013 but as far as I am led to believe they are going to have a review of this in February. As it might only be 2 Para that are going as 3 Para are doing? Kenya.



Just keeping house a little regarding the spelling etc

[Tab]

1 Para have a company out there all the time

[young gun]

Sorry about the spelling Iam starting depo in januray and iam a long way away but would love to know if iam getting a tour after i pass out nobody really knows

Hint didn't work I see.
Who precisely is iam?
Keep this up and the only place you will be passing out will be in the pub.
No offense obviously.

Its difficult to say at such an early stage. You MAY get to go on tour immediately, but it may also be a case of you joining a unit who are going off on a training package. Im in the same boat, early stage, but with the Royal Marines. I want to tour as soon as iv got my lid, but if I don't I know that I'll be doing something interesting. That's the thing with the Royal Marines and paras especially, you'll always be doing something mental, somewhere in the world.

Look mate a think you have to chill on the nit picking about the grammer this isnt a english exam no offense obviously .


Amphibian i have a mate who just passed prmc and he is away onb the 14 of nov am sure. I hope i get a tour but your right it will always be an exciteing job

[Wholley]

this isnt a english exam

Quite correct.
This is where you show your ability to communicate using the guidelines of the forum.
It also shows how you think and act,regarding discipline and your personal admin.
If you can't be bothered here how are you going to get along in the real world of the Military?
You may well be going to Depot but with the current situation will you be able to show the qualities required to rise above the rest?
You will have to ask Tab regarding promotion within the Parachute Regiment but for other Services the Junior Leaders course is the only way up and you can be failed or passed over for the slightest infringement or oversight.
With your current attitude what(Heaven Forbid) would you do with a request for"Reasons In Writing" regarding your actions or lack thereof?
We are not here for the benefit of our health,most of the Mod's,apart from me,really care about you young people joining the Services.
Just think on that before you get smart with me again.

Endex.

The Prosecution rests,M'lud.

Shape up or Ship out.
I'm not going to debate a school boy who will not accept advise from those who have been there and done that.

Just have a look through some of your peers posts,they do not have the same dyslexia as you appear to have.
Effort,Lad,Effort.
You have it easy.
I didn't have the luxury of a spell checker.
That little button that you can't be bothered to look for.
What,pray kind of advise are you going to give 'With' others?

I honestly can't be bothered with asinine questions from ignorant children who think they know it all but are unable to find the"Search"button where all will be revealed.
"Like Minded Lads"?
You are having a laugh right?
Smartass.

[young gun]
