Try the Army section, the people you are looking for would be 9 Sqn RE.
Your post is also bloody difficult to read and understand, try re reading it and not just using text speak. Most people will see it and not bother replying.

Sometimes I think mod's can be a bit tough on spelling and grammer but now I know why they do it. How hard is it to read a three line post and correct the mistakes before you post. I can take one or two mistakes in a post but that is just ridiculous.

Or me...
Rough translation:
I am re-joining the army, and start training in December. I'm joining the Royal Engineers then going down the airborne route. The only thing is I can't seem to find out much about them. I was previously joining Para Reg till I got injured just before P Company. I just wondered how much phys you get at ATR Pirbright, as I've heard that it's twice a week. What's the beat up training like that you get for P Company? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
It's still a bit confusing though...

Very true!
Sometimes the foreign stuff is easier than the text speak, but that might just be because I'm (only just) over 30!

Yea i have spoken to them but they just tell me that aye will do P Company after I finish trade training and that if I aim for the same fitness standard that was expected at Para depot I should be all right. None of them at the AFCO have done all arms P COMPANY and don’t know much about what goes on

Now try spell-checking this one before you post again.
I am absolutely sick of correcting people's spelling and grammar.
There is no acceptable excuse and no excuse acceptable.
Try a little harder or I will simply ditch your posts.
