Life inside Para Depot at Catterick

[Woody91]

Would it be possible for someone to describe what an average day or week is like in the early stages of Infantry Training at Para Depot?

And any advice whilst being there?

Cheers, Woody.

I've already searched for it mate, and it came up with stuff about what life is like inside the battalion.

I'm looking for the Catterick side of things.

Infact there was paperwork for us. I don't know about the Paras but we had best books which had to be completed.

Ah rite well i'm not sure on it myself but aslong as i'm not up till 1am doing the paper work its fine but in moderation its fine.
