well here i am

[thuny]

after a few month of me killing my own brain with the idea that im not achieving anything in my job, i've finally came to my senses and decided that the military is for me.,.,

im interested in the paras but after reading about them not jumping now until 2011 wont they seem just the same as the armys usual infantry? apart from the initial beasting they get? Would still go for the paras love a challenge and they seem to be in alot more action as of late..

just thought i'd say hello anyway.

[E5_Man]

Hey.
Paras are not all about parachuting nowadays, they are still the most skilled and slightly mental soldiers in british army.

[thuny]

well then they sound like the type of group i want to join.,., if your going to do something may aswell do it the hardest way atleast you feel you've accomplished something.. no doubt i'll deffinetly get that feeling in the paras

[E5_Man]

I used to get 'Army' magazine and there was a article about paras and it said. 'so you want to be a para, you will have biceps the size of tree trunks , you will be the envy of every member of your gym, you are never happier than jumping from a plane with nothing more than a knife between your teeth. You are Grant Mitchel with a parachute.

[thuny]

ahh the dreams of becomming grant mitchell I cant wait...

im just sticking with my brother through the training he was in week 16 of the royal marines training until he was medicly discharged with compartment syndrome..hopefully with enough effort i'll be his size well its something i aspire to.

[sky ninja steve]

wots compartment syndrome???

i go in the paras in two weeks i cant effin wait but im not sure now as id rather be phil mitchell is he in the marines??lol

[thuny]

my brother described it as the muscle growing to quick for the bone,.., he didnt really talk about it much as he wasnt all that happy he was discharged.. he either had the option of an operation and be in hunter company for a long time with the 50% chance of being able to walk again or leave... think hes trying to go for the TA now but the navy are messing him around apparently..

phil mitchells in the SAS have you not seen ultimate force the one with the female in the thick of it?

[E5_Man]

Thats grant on ultimate force, Phils the guy from the show on Sky called Britains hardest. Quite a funny show there.

Good luck thuny

Thuny,

Dont worry about the parachuting. Im sure they will sort something out to get the new blokes winged up. You will be serving alongside the fittest, most professional soldiers in the Army and you will not be disapointed.

Check out some of the things 3 Para have been up to on our last tour of Afghanistan, and think this could be you by the end of this year.

Go down to your local armed force's office and see if you can get some information on joining the para's. They usually have aload of leaflets etc.

I already know about whats expected in the para's my initial question was just about the jumps is all..
