TAB, what does that day involve, a display by the Red Devils no doubt? Sounds interesting.

Hello, im considering going down for the august date, does anyone know if clothes/footwear is provided or am i supposed to take our own?

If you apply for the course they will send you all the detaila and kit list. We were told to bring out own boots, but they MUST have like ankle support otherwise they make you wear the ones provided there, which just about everyone ended up doing. They also told us to take our own mug, which they provided anyway. Other things include sportswear, spare clothes and things.

Whats your problem James future para?

People who have already been on the course can reply, and state the average age was about 20 years old or whatever it is. You Dick head!

Someone got an attitude problem, you wont last 5 minutes in any reg. It was a stupid question anyway, how is anyone going to know the average age of people going on the course, unless you go round knocking on Para reg's door and ask them personally, even then i doubt they would know

Dont have a go at me mate, its just a forum after all. Oh and by the way, i am not a dickhead, as you so delicately put it.

If you can not answer the questions that are asked, don't bother replying. Especially if all you can answer with is a smart arsed comment!

I would be lying of i said that though. It wasnt a basic question it was a stupid question, and it has been prooved, as nobody knows the answer otherwise someone would have replyed with it.

Lets not keep on going on about it.
