errr NO WRONG I thought an ex senior rank in the RM's like yourself would check your facts before writing such cr#p. Do ...

Why don't you join The Household Cavalry. There a Armoured Recce Regiment who always have a squadron in 16 Air Assult Brigade. And have many members who are Para trained as the Regiment encourages it's soliders to do P Coy.
And you might even get the chance to look very smart on a hourse in London ...

I have no real problem Tabbing, I can easy keep up with the front if only I can fight the pain in my feet.
I suffer badly from blisters. But the main ploblem is cramp in my toes.
I've tried taping my feet up, wear two pairs of socks big boots tight boots but I always have trouble with my feet.

Come on Chapps.
Surley an ex regular like yourself knows only to well that the harsh treatment of Gobby Crows, the beatings for f@^"ing up, and of course getting a riffle butt in the head for wakeing up a senior lad 5 minutes early for stag. Happens in ever regiment in the British Army.

So what are you saying Chapps. That Regiments like The Coldstream Guards, The Blackwatch, Royal Green Jackets, Royal Regiment of Wales and other fine Infantry Regiments are crap, rubbish, not worthy of a SUSAT on there rifle and can't do there job properly. I don't think so.

I've met stuckup Paras ...

What is it with Marines and Paras always slaging of the Infantry. How do they know there better. Yes we all agree the fitness stadards are alot higher in the RMs and Paras but not that much greater. And I am sure theres alot of Infantrymen who are lot fitter than some Marines and Paras.
But there is ...

Someone tell me if im wrong, but is'nt a large portion of 3 Commando Brigade including its Engineers, Signalers, Artillery, Armoured Recce already apart of the Army. If so would'nt it make sense to give it to the control of the Army.

JUST ONE FOR YOU CONTRACTOR. You said if I could shed 2 stone it would be like running with a 28lb bergen one your back then suddenly taking it off and running that way.
Surely its not as simple as that. I mean if it was that would be great, loose that weight and I would be flying. So I hope what ...

Cheers lads for your replies. I was looking for some resurance and motivation and you've given me that. I've spoken to people in the past who have done P Coy and they have all said you run most of the way anyway.
This will suit me because I find it alot easier to double than quick march anyday. I ...

Im currently serving in the RE and want to do P Coy and I am 100% commited. I know my fitness is not up to scratch (BFT time around 9:45) and I am getting on abit as I have just turned 30. And to make matters worse I'm about 2 stone overweight.

But I have been fit in the past and I do have the ...
