I know the icft, had to do it to get out of headly court, quite embarrasing actually, even being out for 9 months that was the easiest thing ive ever done. Was in depot waiting to go for scoff when lt col brewis came running on to the square amd started screaming at the ptis? we were all wondering w...

is the 2 mile CFT still a test in depot, and the battalions? Fxxk that was hard, had a ranger posted to 3 para who couldnt manage the cut off time in two years of trying, said it was the hardest thing he had done in 12 years in the army

When was the pegasus badge brought back? it must have been short lived, we didnt have it when i left in 89. Remember the uproar when every one in the brigade had to wear the maroon beret? its all about identity, you see a fat remf wearing a maroon beret, the average person dosnt say the remf is atta...

be well and truely snookered with the reg tatoos wasnt the idea to have a tri party service, i.e all three capbadges, they work together but still maintain their own identity as well? remember the old saying, once a paratrooper always a paratrooper

aint got a clue why they moved? but it scared the shit out of me when i was waiting to mil, . what i wont forget is the atmosphere in the gym, apart from most peoploe shitting them selves, the gym was packed with depot staff all screaming and shouting making for a cracking atmosphere, good memories.

pti shouts mill, one of the lads charges out, the other who had done a bit boxing before just sidestepped him and hit him onthe side of the head, the momentum carried him on and he fell and smashed his head against the side of the bench the blokes were sitting on, knocked out cold, and blood everywh...

paratrooper 1 , how long has the wings getting presented after the jump been going on? good touch that, we just got them back at the accomodation at brize.
