Well the time has come, tomorrow i will be up in caterick attempting arguably the toughest and most professional training in the world for the Parachute Regiment. Before i go i would just like to thank firstly, the people who make this site happen, this site is a great help to people wanting to achieve their dreams. Secondly i would like to thank those who've been there and achieved what im attempting for all the advice and support they have given me along the way. Particarly members Tab and Maroon for the sound advice they have given. So thanks there.
I dont suppose i'l be on here for the first 6 weeks, but i'l try and keep you informed as best i can when i get the chance.
Regards
Chris

Good luck Edwards...you are going to get a sound thrashing off Athens staff.
Stand fking by jo!!
P.S. It is definatly worth the weeks of pain you go through, as at the end you can finally call yourself a Paratrooper, and before you know it you will be in a herc waiting for the green light to come on.

701 Tamera platoon i think. The next Rhine platoon is AFC so you wont be on that one, and the platoon after Rhine is Tamera. Enjoy

Started week 6 Today, seems to be going aright most parts i am really enjoying. Most of the nobbers are gone from the platoon now so things can only get better. Hopefully going to pass off the square on thursday and get the maroon beret and have my first weekend leave which will be really good.
Just a short note as you can imagine ive got plenty of admin to do so gotta get cracking.
p.s.Skeav, Look forward to meeting you when you join. Get Training Jo!
