I am not discounting it, however if every course you pass after training counts as part of basic, how long would that account for. MRB "the best four weeks of your life" I'm speechless.

Ok, maybe not the 'best' 4 weeks of your life, but it was a quality course. For me it was the fact that i'd just passed depot, spent a few weeks jumping out of planes, shagging three RAF birds on different nights, getting pissed most nights and twatting a few rock apes in the bar. To me thats as good as it gets after months of beastings and abuse at depot. As a cabbage head, you get to splash about in water - yeah cheers for that. So Jobag, its something to look forward to, thats all i'm saying.

Good effort mate, I'm only ribbing you.
"Splashing about in the water", the term is amphibious ops which is complex, intricately planned, exhaustively rehearsed and yes usually leaves you 20m shy of the beach splashing about in the water.
What do you call a Para with an IQ of 120?.......A battalion!
What's the difference betwen God and a Para?.....God doesn't think he's a Para!
Good luck with all the plummeting.
