Yes I saw most of it last night, and yes there is a selection process, and yes you would have needed to do a couple of tours with them before you would even been thought off for selection

Or re enlist into 1 Para instead of your old Battalion, eh? :lol:

The selection process etc has been discussed in depth on here Scouse, do a search. And yes, you'd have to do a couple of years in Bn before you were considered for Selection.

Happy Xmas everyone btw! :drinking:

You sad fcukers coming on here on Christmas day. :)

Good programme on the platoon. Sky didn't do too bad at all.

Quite surprised alot of the guys names were put on there. Times must be a-changing. Back in the day it was all hush hush if im not mistaken. :-?
