Yes it is possible but not easy... they invest a lot of money in training you and don't want to have wasted the money so they can, and sometimes do, make it difficult. My question to you would be: Why not join the one you really want to join in the first place?

ermm good question.. basically i am going to join the raf regiment as i have wanted it for ages. i guess i was just worrying about if i wanted another challenge later on or wanted to move onto a more offensive role.
then i though i could join the RAF regiment (hopefully) to build up my fitness and get used to military life. then if i wanted to and could join the paras/marines i would have a far better chance as i would be fitter and have sum experience as well. i know i could build up my fitness at home and i have been, but i feel i will get a lot fiiter in the RAF than if i just train at home. <if that makes sense?? i did really want to join the RAF Regiment at first and it was all that wa son my mond but alot of people i have spoken to and some of the threads that have been posted has put a little indecision in my head again by some of their comments.

'ello mate,
I'd say stick to your guns with the RAF Regiment - if it's any consolation ive found out in my posts that you can take a para course (2 squadron) & also can get the opportunity to do an all arms commando course. That is my intention. If i can get a green lid + the para 'qualification' & remain in the RAF all the better. Take everything that is offered & make the most of an opportunity. You get out what you put in.
Hope that helped a little.
