sorry why would he never get his wings? every blokes that gets to battalion is still going down to brize to get their wing and plus p coy is easy and getting ur wings is a peice of piss paras have their status because they have a bit of pride in what they do in the field its not because we do someth...

we got it in 2008 while in afghan and did the first freedom march in 2009 where one of my number 2 buttons pooped off while marching and hit a civvie in the face hehehe plus obviously as you are all aware paras aint exactly renowned for the drill skill which was funny watching 2 and 3 para all quite...

Well its same as everything its time served but yeah youre looking at around 12000 for a brand new private soldier to battalion I'm a lance jack and on about 25000 ish a year after tax but the cost of living is less I.e. accomadation food ect ect

This says that people that don't actually need to jump out of.planes that are parachute trained I.e. quatermasters storemen and cooks and the like will no.longer receive their specialist pay

Nay dramas pal I was the same before I joined up I just think it's right of people that have been there to offer advice that's all it was but I had the same advice and obviously chose not to listen

Yeah be careful what you wish for but if ur that set on going Just do the best you can in depot and ask for one para but I'm not sure they are taking direct from depot anymore just a rumour but may be some truth

Earliest And it would probably be to help pull out or some other crap tasking like training the local idiots up

longer than that we are on ABTF for a good while they said next time pencilled in is 2015 at least

well its just confirming what we already knew about the RAF Arnhem ring any bells?

when was this?? do you have a mod link or anything?

good trick for steeplechase is cut the wrist part off some rubber gloves and put them over the top of your boots onto the skin of your leg this helps alot with not letting the water in worked a treat for me on dnd's wish id known about it in depot but just dont get caught with them on

speak to your recruiter he should let you know but if hes none para he may try telling you that you cant or some other tripe just tell him its either paras or nothing like i did but then again i didnt fail me run time 2 seconds isnt a great deal to shed off your time either

yeah thats exactly what is was it was aload of pish

do they still do it on the pti's course sandy??? i did a little bit for a demo for the recruitment team in sheffield was crap at it wouldnt in anyway rely on it in an actuall scrap if somone was running at me with a knife i wouldnt be stood there trying to knock it out of his hand
