P.COMPANY CHANNEL 4 PART 4

[TheGhillieMan95]

what this point system that they keep talking about?

[Paramorefan555]

@TheGhillieMan95 you earn points for passing or doing well in each task, if you have enough points to pass the guidelines at the end your in, people who havent have failed

[rknjamezie13]

those boxing gloves are huge.

[mycal64]

Wales is a tough country that produces tough men. That's why the Paras train there.

[yellowhelloable]

@mycal64 And the SAS too

[mycal64]

@yellowhelloable Exactly! I did my advanced infantry training there in the winter of '83. Effing freezing!!

[mikefan09]

is it still the same now, the whole course i mean, or has it changed, any new difficulties? anyone whose been on it recently please chime in. thanks.

[nylonTS]

the real shame is the british govt take everything from young men

and when there finished with you you are soon forgotten

Its the truth it means nothing in life after the army

[land4x4ever]

@nylonTS why have you watched every one of these vids and then slagged off the British Government on EVERY ONE of these vids.

OK we get the message, soldiers stupid, government bad, veterans living on the street. I know a lot of ex forces guys and they're all doing well for themselves.

Can i assume you never served?

[nylonTS]

@land4x4ever You assume very wrongly I was a solider and an officer to boot

I look back at my service and joined for all the right reasons to serve my country but when I left I went to work for a forces charity and i see the results every day of being a Regular Solider

Men liveing in cardboard boxs on the streets I dont point the finger at the Soilder far from it I point it at all goverments

Just look at the deals our US buddys get free flights to vets even there reserve have pensions

[alredwood1]

@nylonTS I've never seen an officer with your complete lack of grasp of the english language haha

[nylonTS]

@alredwood1 Im an old bugger and the keys on my Phone are not large and im dislexic which dosent help

But as you get older you get wiser top make up for my lack of grammer

But I was a very good officer I can assure you

Thanks

[march2fuzz]

QUESTION - during your training in the parachute regt are there any excorsises which allow u to develop the ability 2 conquer your fear of heights?? i.e is there a build up to this piece of apparatus or are u expected 2 just prove it on the trainasium during p company??

[lezlo1994]

@march2fuzz watch the previous episode there is a height confidence course

[BongoOldChap]

5:00 youre obviously a pervert - ha ha ha

[AllAboutRushden]

TheMarkOfTheBeast... got cargo nets underneath

[keno2468]

The guy at 04.08 looks like a vampire

[Louisthefish23]

what they were saying to nmber 11 was stupid, fucking dicks

[TheMarkOfTheBeast1]

I'll get laughed at for asking this, but what if they fall off the scaffolding? They could easily break their neck...

[BarkyUK]

at 9:58 where is his top cover on the slr? ahahah

[Noid111]

The Major is a fucking wanker and the NCO's are a load of bullies. Fair enough to beast them on the course but to take the piss out of the bloke when he was kicked off...tossers.

[outside4areacleaning]

@Noid111 Well this was filmed in the good old days before the PC brigade thought it necessary to wrap everyone in cotton wool to save them from being offended. Sounds like you're said brigade of the highest order!

[TheMarkOfTheBeast1]

@Noid111

They let their rank and uniform go to their heads. You'd think they'd be humble after what they go through, but ego always prevails in the end.

[superstratboy]

been there when i was 17 years of age,done p coy fuck all u cunts who disrespect these people

[hutch1111111]

The Major is a complete poser, thinks he belongs on the cover of GQ Soldier, complete waste of rations!!

[richieh1980]

Your obviously a pervert. Ha ha ha

[ninemen123]

Is every troop of soldiers the worst he's ever seen lol

[emann1066]

We did milling at school - versus our best mate.

[dvaidr]

14 year old schoolboys! Bollix!

[Snedger]

Most of those weapons look like old FNs no longer serviceable and not British SLRs. There were a couple of truckloads captured in the Falklands.

[fuckthetaigs1690]

@Snedger Basically the same rifle.

[aethefox7]

2:04 is the funniest bit on the whole programme

[GreenCommando1]

I mean you could fall down it... But I never have. HaHa.

[richieh1980]

Pause at 4.08

[MrJonnyboyification]

what happens at 4:08?

[richieh1980]

The guy on the rights face ha ha

[MrJonnyboyification]

what a challenge.

[UnleashedKane]

P Company looks fucking brutal, it even appears harder than the royal marines.

[britishfetishman101]

that's exactly what i feel too man!!!!

[UnleashedKane]

Seeing that you're Canadian, you can join the Parachute Regiment and try out for P Company if you wanted to. I just thought I'd let you know in case you're interested.

[ollie272]

its not

[Jager762]

Now that Depot's moved up North, is training still do in Brecon?

[snipers2theEND]

yes the becons are still used

[LCPStud]

One thing I like about how the Brits do this stuff is that at the end you get a nice word of encouragement if you don't suck. Just a nice "Good show" does wonders. In USMC Boot all you get is negative reinforcement. If you do well (or even the best in the platoon) you don't hear a single word of encouragement. It's just a big constant mind-fuck.

[hynesa02]

The Para course is harder than the USMC course so they deserve a "good show" :P

[harry6944]

@LCPStud Good comment my man, I take it you are USMC, I did a bit of time with them on an exchange from the UK, a fukin good bunch of lads, I did find it weird how how they address each other by rank all the time, even SSgt to Sgt. H

[Isthisthelongestname]

@LCPStud

USMC? christ even a british army engineer has a longer basic army training than the usmc. People always say "yea but they continue training in your unit etc." ....well obviously....every army/unit/regiment does continuous training....

[LCPStud]

@Isthisthelongestname

.  <<<< The point you missed completely. Try again please.

[Isthisthelongestname]

@LCPStud

I missed nothing mate - you complimented the British army....kind of. Cheers that makes up for America dragging us into and illegal war we will never win...

[LCPStud]

@Isthisthelongestname

Don't blame us, the UK had a choice. If you need to feel bitter about it, go piss up Tony Blair's legs for being such a pussy, not up mine for merely being a yank. I didn't want either war myself.

[iamgreatish]

@LCPStud I've been watching the BBC PARAS Documentary, as well as this all day. And your the second person to say exactly the same thing!

[DjMobsta6]

im pretty sure they made this video in 1985

[tevitarosa]

Series was done in '91

[eggy007]

its probably the introduction of the sa80, when the slr was being phased out

[bigchiefmingingbolok]

sa80's are light as shit, slr's are quite heavy, its a weight thing

[greswell]

SA80s are heavier than SLRs

[hessy11]

my dad was saying that the slr had a real kick and that the sa80 was like a toy. not that means anything cos the slr had a bigger bullet but was more light and the sa80 was more heavey and fired a smaller bullet.

[liamwakeman4007]

@greswell nope there not

[hessy11]

sa80's are one of the most heavey assalt rifles on the planet 2 pounds more heavey than most rifles

[hessy11]

they have to ware head gear now dont they they even used to do it without gloves in the 50s

[soldierside365]

fucking health and safety!!!! lol

[DanielSellen]

its actually safer without gloves lol, means theres only so many times you can hit someone in the head before you seriously damage your hands. Gloves let you keep going :P

[MrOdsplut]

Yes-serious injuries are way more common in boxing now than in the bare-knuckle days.

[Miles12345671]

@MrOdsplut really? im sure if you were punched in the head with a boxing glove it would hurt less than a bare fist..

[trumpet190]

@Miles12345671 when they didn't use gloves they wouldn't aim for the head, would hurt your fist a lot more than the other guy

[wubbaducky1992]

@hessy11 thats because bare knuckle boxing is illegal now, and mr health and safety also has put his hands in

[Sangrenegra9]

@hessy11 - to be fair, the gloves make it more dangerous in a sense, as the striker is able to throw stronger punches without fear of damaging their hands. Gloves might reduce the severity of cuts to the victim's face, but they certainly won't protect from concussion or whiplash...

[0zimmerman0]

Cheers again.
