P Company vs Commando Course

[Cronkilla]

Length isnt everything yes theoretically you will cover more but its the intensity of the course which matters. You really cannot compare the training they recieve as they are not really the same. Of course from my slightly biased mouth the marines training is more intense


Wasnt it right at some point in time parachute trained marines outnumbered actuall paras by some amount. Just to add to the arguement

[quote=I was'nt talking about what i wrote, im saying that im helping AIRBORNE elaborate on a point he was trying to make. thats all. [/quote]

And lets face it airborne needs all the help he can get

[K24io]

Length of training and fitness don't make a good unit.

Fitness is just the means to an end.

Both the Para and RM units are the elite in this country and possibly the world.

The true answer is we are both the dogs bollox.

It was only a few years ago that 42 and 2 Para (I think) were doing a joint NI tour

yeah..i've seen there tours....poor lads get bricked and petrol bombed...

and wearing GREEN and RED lids dont help much in the camoflauge area

BillyNob2 can you shut up this site is mainly visited by Marines so you aint makeing any freinds and you are pissing me off you are not even a Para and you say thay are better maybe when you are a para you can coment intill then shut the F*CK UP!!!

[billybob2]

alright chill out son.

You navy boys sure have attitude problems

[Chris]

in that case i must have an atitude problem if you say i got one

[El Prez]

Chris, all that time we have spent coaching and training you and the first time some Jessie drops his bait and hook in the pond you rise like a three badge trout and snaffle the lot! Easy boy! Have a laugh, then drag him into the pond by his rod

[voodoo sprout]

alright chill out son.

You navy boys sure have attitude problems

Oh the irony .

And I can't say I've ever heard of paras doing the commando course simply to get commando trained, I assume the paras don't need commando skills while on the other hand the RM's can use para trained men.

READY FOR ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Except grammar lessons I presume...

I once saw a Para Major at Gardermoen with a Green Lid.
There was a Para instructor on my Seniors, named Andy Goff(2 Para?)Great bloke, I wish he was posting on here, as a differant picture would emerge
Aye,

[gash-hand]

Don't worry about it Jay most Para's are decent enough blokes - airborne and billynob2 are in the minority.

For your information i am not in the PARAS yet.

And who u calling "billynob2". I could tell you wer'nt the sharpest knife in the drawer but i don't believe you can't spell my username properly when it is right in front of your eyes.

Actually billynob2 I know you aren't a Para. And I spelt your name that way because I think it suits you better like that

[gash-hand]

Only when in Limbang

[billybob2]

Right...???????????

[Cronkilla]

Length isnt everything

Cronkilla, you are so right!! Its what you do with it that counts!
