3 PARA

Post by westy_1981 »

Evening all,
I've got a visit to 3 Para in Colchester next wk, and i'm likely to have an interview with the CO or the Adjutant. If anyone has any info that would be useful such as what 3 Para has been up to recently? some info on the CO or Adj? It would be much appreciated.

Cheers, Westy

there is plenty of information on this page about their recent activities. Best of luck with the interview mate, are you going for officer or recruit entry?

Well if your planning to go to the paras then it might be wise to get 16 AA Brigades journal "Pegasus" as well as current events it includes history of the british airborne forces.

Go to the shop in the Airborne Forces' Museum in Aldershot. As you are at Sandhurst, it's only 10-15 mins away. Pegasus is sold there.
