@WAXY950 Ok, so your the most disgusting little kid ever. First of all, all allied soldiers fighting in afghanistan are hero's. They deserve a lot more for the price they pay for our friendly country's. Men and Women give so much to keep you ARSE holes safe, so you can live your own happy lovely life. Quite frankly people like you don't deserve to live among people who do give a dam about someone else's life. I hope to one day join the forces and pay my det, by taking after so many brave people.
the amount of sleep would depend on how the platoon performes and who the NCO`s were dont forget your pushed to the limits during the day doing BFT, CFT, Assault course, Gym, 10 Miler, Heavy carry, log race, navex. but roughly speaking bed 11pm up at 5am to clean the block but you will also have guard duty maybe once a month. its tough but not impossible.
Having serve in 2 Para the main difference between TA and regular is the build up to P Company in the regulars. Its the build up of pressure gun drill, square bashing, learning do distinguish rank washing ironing getting cs gas let off in the middle of the night by the senior nco early mornings late nights getting the block clean for inspection guard duty 2hours on 4 off etc etc. This goes on for weeks etc etc while the TA only come and do all arms P Company then go home my opinion.
Just think the taliban are attacking in that treenline in the distance! Thts pathetic when you think about it, taliban are too cowardly to get up close abd personal
4 para are is a big part of the reg battalians these days,they have a great deal to offer.Most of them have another trade in civvy street so they can be versitile when it comes to a challenge that is not just military. we had a guy who was a nhs paramedic and served as a rifleman in iraq.We had another guy who was a telecomm's expert in civvy street and he wired up all our dodgy sky dishes. i remember one guy was a mechanic.stick all them guys in a section together! stab's!i dont think so!
When I'm 18 I wanna join the paras and eventually get picked for SAS selection but I heard that it's easier to get into selection if your a pathfinder, how do you get into the pathfinders??? Any help???
@EllisFitz1995 Serve in the infantry for a while then attempt the Pathfinder cadre. They say it's only easier to get in the SAS because the training and selection of the Pathfinders can be compared to (although it's not nearly as tough) the SAS selection.
@iRozc , pathfinder selection is similar because they use the same aptitude training (hillphase) as the SAS. its not easier to get in the SAS by any means, to say something like that, you obviously have no idea what your talking about.
@wells4621 I do know what I'm talking about, if you could comprehend sentences, I meant it in the case joining the PF would make the SAS selection slightly easier (you can't disagree, it's common sense seeing as you'd be part of an elite force doing extreme training).
@247orbital wrong, the royal marine reserves DO complete the 30 miler as well as all the other "commando tests" they complete it in a week of tests at lympstone at the end of there reserve training which is spread out across two years involving, weeknights and weekends.
@247orbital No your wrong, first of all, please just do a google search before you open your mouth. There are literally hundreds of posts on forums and blogs about how the RMR have to do the 30 miler and the other commando tests. Also you don't "get" a rubber dagger, it's not even an official title, it's just a term used by marines to refer to the RMR. So when you said "Not according to two people I know who both have rubber daggers", it doesn't really make sense.
@True2Talent must be true then if its on Google! Its not referred to as a rubber dagger because you are issued with a dagger made of rubber. Its called that because the RMR do a watered down version of the RM course and hence are not considered equals by the regular Marines. Similar to the TA being called STABS by the regular Army. I've seen people from the Army complete the All Arms Commando course and yet fail P Company and I'm sure this works both ways.
@247orbital You realise that it's not google saying it, it's about 200 people on various FORUMS saying it. Your confusing google with wikipedia. just do the search so you realise. type in "royal marine reserves forum" into google, do some searching and you'll realise. Oh and that's what i said, your the one who basically said that they were issued with a rubber dagger not me, i was the one who said it's just a name given to them. RMR are trained to fit in seamlessly with regular RM.
@True2Talent You've lost the plot, have you ever even been in the armed services? Lets not forget it was the Army who had the original Commandos, this was then handed over at the end of WW2 to the Marines. That's not to say there were no Marines Commandos in WW2 before you go down that route. One thing you will know if you have been in the services is reserve, TA members are hardly ever embraced by regular soldiers/marines. Hence the terms STAB's, Rubber Daggers etc.
its difficult to tell whats going on, what the hell was that, that was fired from behind them? and where are the, if that is the taliban, taliban firing?
@MrDistrugator yer ther actually not,dont giv tht bullshit because it really fuking isnt,and m8 im not stupid,my IQ's 130 which is over the average of the whole of the fuking U.K,and i think i'd know,because my cousin is in the RAF as a ground trooper and i think id no more bout tht then u,coz i spoke 2 him about it and even he sed tht it dunt exist,so i wudnt go around callin ppl stupid wen u havent even got ur facts rite,the odds r,tht ur sum sad lonley 40 yr old man who has absolutley no life
Shoula sent the Royal Marines instead.... ;) Just kidding, all our boys over there do an exceptional Job, here's hoping to a safe return for all our lads! From a hopeful Royal Marine!
cowardly cunts...killing civilians...shot Irish kids in the back and lied about it for years ...fucking Island monkeys can't even play football...go home you shire weasels and leave these people alone in their own land...
@nbandit2k9 We won't leave until after that either; the only reason it's been said is to get people on their side for the next election.
"Vote for us and we'll leave Afghanistan" - our services will be in there way after 2015, it's must something politicians say because they think it calms the public down.
This is dead cool. I was gonna join the Royal Engineers and then go 9 Para but I failed my BARB test so now I'm just going PARA and probs SAS after basic.
@plasticturd lol SAS after basic? You have to do a few years first, Don't go into the recuitment office going I want to be SAS they will just think your a cock. Anyways after 2 years you might be able to join 1 para who assist special forces
4:05 weird to see tracers coming as if from nowhere, surely the distance makes accuracy impossible or is it just for suppression and to try and score a lucky shot?
@44caliber6232 p company is 1blow pathfinder who r below selection for SAS from wot i been told pure driven machines and to get in to the SAS apparently there is something lacking mentally ur official military property ...
@antubd your a fucking moron. what have you ever done for this country? thats right, nothing. you fucking wannabe. at least TA soldiers man up and fight unlike little pussies like you.
@MrRipper24 get your head down, you have been misinformed 4 Para do nowhere near the same training as (1, 2 or 3) especially nowadays as the T.A. budget has been slashed massively, our basic training is more than they would do in 10 years in proper Para Reg, they only get the odd weekend of exercise here and there, they usually get attached to a proper battalion 2 or 3 months before an operational tour to try and get them up to speed!
@MrRipper24 well i'll see you there then, standby you cheeky stab bastard , and good opsec as well, everything i said in my original post is true? tell me what training you have done in the last 12 months then and prove me wrong you necky cunt!!
dont listen to that guy bigbt4. hes a prick. im joining A company, 4 para. i got selection coming soon. i would say 70 to 85 percent have already sreved years in regular battalions so 4 para is tough. plus what i hear the reserve paras go through harder things haha. cant wait
When or if you pass out of depot you will go to either 2 or 3 para if you have what 1 para require & pass a watered down version of Selection you can go to 1 para for a few years. Pathfinder platoon has their own selection course, & recruit from all AB units.
I know that 1 PARA is SFSG. When a para is assigned to a battalion, can he be assigned to 1 PARA of does he have to be put forward after a certain amount of time?
im not sure if this is right but u go to 3 para if ur from wales or the south of england, 2 para is north of england and scotland then i think 2 years later u can apply for 1 para or pathfinder platoon
did u know theres 45 soldiers in britain that are actually in the pathfinder platoon? thats how elite it is
how can you say iv got it wrong then say your not sure if its right?? Now i dont know where you got 3 para are from south and wales etc but unless its been changed then its not true.
haha u aint got a fuckin clue bannanahomie lmao u can go straight into 1 para if u want u get a preferance were u want 2 go if u ask 2 go 1 para n ders room u can go der 4 para is T.A
@3460 Thats not true either mate, you serve in 2 or 3 if joining reg and 4 if in TA and all three (2,3,4) rotate to 1 Para so everyone gets the chance to work alongside SF.
@AJCY133 Wrong u neva have to go 1 para at all if u dnt wanna or 3 para if ya dnt wanna either, mate i'm in 2 para n whoever u get ur intel off is a wanker who wants 2 be in the reg bt can't b cz he's a non ferocious fuckin hat cunt so stop gobbin off
i agree with stuart556, the boys out there can only hold them at bay at the moment, a push in troop numbers will start causing the taliban some real damage. but whats the point, after were gone the countries only going to turn to shit again because another extremist group like the Mujahadeen will come in...
You really could think of them as kids, if you give them attention, they will continue.
In this case, they start a war, because they know we will help them. The middle-east are basicly the western worlds spoiled little brats...
Now don't get me wrong. I want to help out, I'm applying to the army so I can be a peacekeeper. But we have to stop making backroom deals that will have repercussions 30 years later...
We should also stop supplying all kinds of governments and other small unheard of nations with GUNS, it's irresponsible, and it's straight up dumb of us to do so...
But we get rich partly of that -_- so I guess it's about supply and demand and all that ^^
Look at Sweden, that country got ALLOT of cash from all sides of the war during WW2 (this one too, with the exception of insurgents and guerillas etc.) from selling guns.
Will you fuck off and go and save some whales, nobody cares for your rants on here. Your just another waste of oxygen. Honestly just do one. You just seem to be so over opinionated your crying out to be saved! Did your mother not breatsfeed you or did your dad never love you? ? Seriously you want to make a difference, your not going to achieve it on here. Try 10 downing street or The White House.
Geeez!!!!....Its so humiliating for us british public with you lot being unable to defeat the rusty gun and sandles platoon in more than five long years!. They are a third world nation for fuck sake and you have NATO and USA help and the greatest firepower in the world!. Pull ya fingers out you useless bastards or dont bother coming home!!!
u havnt got a clue about this war, it isnt conventional like ww2, its gorilla warfare, they sit up in their caves and wait for convoy to pass and then set off a roadside bomb we cant win this war, and we never will unless we do a troop surge
Yup maybe so...But looking back over the last few years. British troops have moved far north into the green zone. And the americans are smashing the south. 12month...2010 will be a big push
BRITISH PARAS ARE JUST COWARDLY CHILD MURDERERS FUCK THEM THE MORE THAT COME BACK IN BIN BAGS THE BETTER MON THE IEDS

im not sure if this is right but u go to 3 para if ur from wales or the south of england, 2 para is north of england and scotland then i think 2 years later u can apply for 1 para or pathfinder platoon
did u know theres 45 soldiers in britain that are actually in the pathfinder platoon? thats how elite it is

i didnt know there was only 45, i thought there would be around 150, because it is only the paras, so i know the numbers would have been small.
btw, the explanation makes sense, cheers ;)

@3460 Thats not true either mate, you serve in 2 or 3 if joining reg and 4 if in TA and all three (2,3,4) rotate to 1 Para so everyone gets the chance to work alongside SF.

i agree with stuart556, the boys out there can only hold them at bay at the moment, a push in troop numbers will start causing the taliban some real damage. but whats the point, after were gone the countries only going to turn to shit again because another extremist group like the Mujahadeen will come in...

Well, we should just leave them alone.
You really could think of them as kids, if you give them attention, they will continue.
In this case, they start a war, because they know we will help them. The middle-east are basicly the western worlds spoiled little brats...
Now don't get me wrong. I want to help out, I'm applying to the army so I can be a peacekeeper. But we have to stop making backroom deals that will have repercussions 30 years later...

Look at Al Quaida *spelling?*
During the cold war, they were supported, supplied and trained by USA. Now look what happened 20 years later -_-
The shit hit the fan...
As said we should absolutley help those in need, especially when there's civilians or our own way of life (our "freedom") that is at stake.
But we should not help out people that want to start new wars.

We should also stop supplying all kinds of governments and other small unheard of nations with GUNS, it's irresponsible, and it's straight up dumb of us to do so...
But we get rich partly of that -_- so I guess it's about supply and demand and all that ^^
Look at Sweden, that country got ALLOT of cash from all sides of the war during WW2 (this one too, with the exception of insurgents and guerillas etc.) from selling guns.
Again, supply and demand.
*sigh* Humanity really never will learn -_-

Will you fuck off and go and save some whales, nobody cares for your rants on here. Your just another waste of oxygen. Honestly just do one. You just seem to be so over opinionated your crying out to be saved! Did your mother not breatsfeed you or did your dad never love you? ? Seriously you want to make a difference, your not going to achieve it on here. Try 10 downing street or The White House.

u havnt got a clue about this war, it isnt conventional like ww2, its gorilla warfare, they sit up in their caves and wait for convoy to pass and then set off a roadside bomb we cant win this war, and we never will unless we do a troop surge

stuart556 2 years ago
Yup maybe so...But looking back over the last few years. British troops have moved far north into the green zone. And the americans are smashing the south. 12month...2010 will be a big push
