Did the Government actually end up cutting PARA training?

Like a certain Booty down here once told me.....
He`d trapped this gorgeous choky bird in Singers and was swapping spit in the back of a cab back to her place.
He`d had upstairs and was pleasantly surprised by the firmness and shape.
Not so pleasantly surprised when he checked downstairs and found a tiny meat and two veg
"So what did you do mate?"
"I thought"fcuk it, I`s come this far" and had the best BJ ever in the back of that cab" "And she paid the fare, an all"

Result or what

Heard the same from my 7RHA mate, apparently they giving them the wings anyway to fit in with the reg. Im not a para so dont hold me to it.

Element, cant see any part of Airborne letting wings be worn without first passing P-Coy then para training then your jumps. Never Happen.

Yeah thanks for that pointless reply. No need to bump this thread, i was corrected previously.

HAHA Thanks EH!

Right now I am looking at all my options. At first it was all Infantry for me, I have always had an interest in it and both my Grandfathers served in the Infantry in the war- One in Britian (he was British) so it would be nice to carry on that tradition. Then after I had my heart set on that, I did some reading about the RAF Regiment and thought maybe that was the way to go. Now I am just looking all all options available to me, and making a decison. I am 99% sure now that I will end up going with the Infantry, it is just a matter of deciding if that will be line or para.

I like the idea of the challenge of the Parachute Regiment; not to say that line would not also be a challenge mind you; but the elite nature of it. Unfortunatly like others have said here much of the attraction for me would be actually doing some Parachute jumps ect.

The parachute is just our way of getting there. Saves tabing.
