Before & After P-Coy

[freer07]

Alright lads!!
Been searching around the forums today and cannot find anything that tells you about before and after P-Coy. So can anyone please tell me what a usual day is like in para depot before and after p-coy?? Like whats it like when you first get there? and what do you do for the first few days? and whats the accommodation like? and how many men to a room? etc. And you don't have to tell me it's going to be hard as i know it's going to be the hardest thing thing ive ever done in my life. Cheers lads much appreciated

All I know it's four to a room. And P-Coy isn't very early on, if you pass ADSC, you'll go to do Phase 1 training at an ATR. I'm not clear on after that, so I'm not going to comment. After sucessfull completion of P-Coy, I think you go on to the Jumps Course, learning to Parachute. After that I don't know, wait for someone else to answer. Sorry could not be much help.

After p coy to my knowledge you participate in some live firing exercises before going on the jumps course. Before you will be learning infantryman skills such as map reading, first aid, rifle lessons, drill, fieldcraft, battlefield tours etc...There is a Parachute Regiment DVD available from your local AFCO that details the weeks of training.

Week 1-6

Rifle lessons, rifle ranges, drill, PT, adjutants drill inspection, fieldcraft lessons, (week 6 long weekend off)

Week 6-12

Battlefield tours, NBC training, first aid lessons, map reading, sports competition (week 12 long weekend off)

Week 12-18

Adventure training, NBC training, tactical exercise, tactical drills and few other things (week 18 week off)

Week 19

Urban warfare training

Week 20

PPS

All i can remember off the DVD don't know i've got them exactly correct but you get the general idea

It's a 2006 parachute regiment dvd you can get from your AFCO mate. It's a full flash presentation for your computer very helpful.

Depends if you are going in from another Regiment are starting from scratch and doing all your training with the Regiment.

Hello everyone I thought I would just post this question on here as it's a similar one to what Freer07's. In PT at para depot do you get straight stuck into PT your first day there? Also how long do they usually last for and what do they consist of normally? I am just asking this as I am curious not becuase I don't think I'll be able to do it as I am rather confident I can if I give it my 100% effort every time.

Thanks everyone

Before you get there I dont know, then its hard - so Im told or have read, then after that I dont know much either, so I dont know why I have spent my time writing about something I dont know anything about, but I have. But I think so therefore I am, but I'm not and never have been, so dont really know. But RN Green lids are called marines and you dont stack tents on ships.
