a fking Green Beret ?
?
With army issue ?
Now that explains why he bashes me so much .you know ? just sitting there letting every one else do the hard work whilst he sits there slagging it all off .
Green Berets hate Paratroopers big time .
The main reason is because of one thing .
Paratroopers are simply better at it then sailors with soldiers uniforms on .
You see it works like this .
Both sections on the armed forces do EXACTLY the same type of Commando training but Parras are simply the BEST !
Now thats just a little bit different don't you think ?
Because of Military red tape , Any soldiers even a Parra is not allowed to leave their force and join the Marines , but the marines are allowed to leave their service and join the Parras or the army in general .
but guess what ?
In 1991 ( way back then ) even ONLY 1 marine made it through Parra trooper training . ONE !
ONE MARINE !
To this date I think it still stands although I am not sure .
If you want to make it into the SAS, no matter how good you are , now matter what group of armed service you go through , if the SAS have sent you an invite ( because you only get into the SAS by invite ) YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH DEPOT PARRA 1ST !
If you don't make it through that , they will not select you end stop .
SO ------even if you were the best in your training , the top guy in your platoon , and even if you did go through all that basic training 1st , you will still have to go through 6 months and 2 weeks basic training at depot Parra end stop .
WHY ?
because if you don't make it through there , you ain't got what it takes to be an SAS specialist .
it is also why the Parratroopers are the only uniformed armed service to ware their Maroon Beret at Buckingham palace .
NO OTHER SERVICE CAN WARE THEIR BERRET NOT EVEN SAILERS IN ARMY ISSUES .
they have to ware flat hats because of the shape of their heads . LOL.
they are not worthy basically putting it .
So , now I understand the flack I get .
It might also explain why the specialists got shot in the Argentine war back in 82 .
Mainly because the Marines shot them on their way back to RP.
In the Falklands , 400 Parras lifted off for an army exercise . ( so they were told ) and when they got to the Falklands they finally found out it was for a real war .
The thing about this was that most had filled their Burgans with pillows to make their packs look bigger .
they had hardly NO kit !
so what they did , was to give the Argentines a display of power and let off EVERY SINGLE BULLET THEY HAD ina rain storm of fire power leaving nearly every single rifle EMPTY of ammunition .
The last stand of the Argentinians was taken down by 400 agressive and determined Parras fighting close quaters in a state of hand to hand combat .
The sight of this agreesive and determined force coupled with the earlier display of power ( quite a gamble don't you think ) forced 1600 Argentinians surrendered !
1600 !
Thats 400 Fkn Parras taking the mass of 1600 men with nothing in their rifles .
Now thats fkn training for ya .
what guts and determination those troops had .
and guess what ?
Not a pop shot taken from a safe haven .
yet guess who took the glory and put up the English flag right at the end of that war ?
yep you've got it , Sailors ! with ARMY ISSUES .
The moral of this true story is ,
You,ll always find some C+NT taking the glory of raising the flag on some one elses acomplishments !
