Have you got your job breifs? So your 1st job choice is scot guards & your second is paras? I thought paras was a faster time so the AFCO would of put that as your first choice so you have the scot guards to fall back on if you didn't make 9.18?

I think what he means is he did his 1.5 in under 9.18 making him eligiable for the Paras although he intended on going for the Scotts Guards.

Look up both regiments mate and make ur mind up accordingly.

Oh i see, my mistake. I thought you had already been given your job breifs and chosen your job choices. Just go for what you want to go for mate, read up everything you can on both and just pick wich one appeals to you mate. I think if you make a certain weight on the static lift your para time gets upped to 9:40?
