No real difference. They have slightly different company set ups (D Company 2 Para is a rifle Company, whereas D Coy 3 Para is Patrols ), but that's it. I'd say 3 Para were more 'ally' but all that stuff depends on what's allowed by head shed. They do they same job.
There is no fear, there is only the force.
Do or do not, there is no try.

Only in Mortars though, freckle sandwiches in the NAAFI springs to mind in the days of old when knights were bold and apples were a pound pairs.HCR wrote:3 PARA have more Gays in there ranks
Having spent three years in Para Regt (408 Plt) then transferring to REME and spending many more years in the Airborne FRT role there isn't any difference between the Bn's. Having spent some years with various hat Inf, Log and Cav units (some very good, some woefuly bad) there is a major difference in attitude between AB and Hats towards getting the job done, the strongest case for the statement "work hard play hard" that I ever experienced.
I exercised only once with 1 Para (Italy 79) a couple of times with 3 Para but mainly with 2 Para (Kenya 81 being one of the funniest episodes in my whole career), everything remained constant, attitude, drive, and a professionalism second to none. As Para trained REME deployed with them I was still a hat but to anyone outside the Para Bde I was AB same as them. I meet up with a lot of ex AB regularly, some in there 70's still tabbing along, stiil the same drive, the fitness might not be as good but the mind and spirit are still as keen as ever.
