This is back when The British Army wasn't administered by social workers who care more about a soldier's feelings of self-actualization than in their killer instincts.
@truefalse No shit, Sherlock. I was talking about "killer instincts" which connotes not killing per se, but the willingness to do so if required. You being deliberately obtuse and pretending to be somehow aggreived rings a tad hollow. The Parachute Regiment is NOT a support unit, it is a FRONT LINE, COMBAT Regiment, always has been, perhaps in the future if you take the time to think before shooting from the lip, as it were, you wouldn't look so moronic.
my dream, is to b a PTI in the paras, for the moment, im joining REME and trainging as an air tech, then ill do my P company and pti course. hopefully ill pass them :D
this is real shit.. i'm a bootneck we have the same shit houses who drop back in recruit training "i can't do it corporal!!" we fuck them off too!! good effort para reg thin out the weak
36lb in a Bergan. The Cheshire Regiment used to do the 8 mile CFT with 36lb in the webbing and with a helmet on plus different exercises at the end. Carrying the weight around your waist (strain on the lower back) is worse than on your back in a pack.
@tomliath 8 Mile 8 mile CFT was done in same time at the 10 miler though, 25% less distance in the same time. And you didn't have to do it after battering hell out of each other. And you didn't have a stretcher race, log race, assault course, steeplechase and log race over the next 3 days, did you? I was one of these recruits.
Watching this series, while it does look incredibly tough, it also looks very enjoyable and satisfying, and makes me wish I'd gone into it when I left school. But when I watched the Channel 4 documentary Commando (About the Royal Marines training), it was just depressing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but 70'f is about 21-22'c
Anyone feeling faint or dizzy from exposure to such 'extreme' conditions, should pop the tampon out of their arse, and remove their mouth from mums tit.
@phucoff1 Well said. I think TheBlahstuff forgets that 21'c is warm for the UK, and smocks back then were a lot heavier and generally more of a bastard to wear than they are today. CFT's are hard work and get you very hot, even in minus temperatures with a t-shirt on!
i met gobby taff in edinburgh in burtons in princess st spoke to him he said went to france dident like it came back offent wonder did any them ever stay in
The Paras as a documentary was 10 times better than all the other military 'fly on the wall' documentaries. Probably because it was made by Frank Hilton, with affection and humour, having served with the Regiment himself, and his bringing his insider knowledge to the production, especially the humour!
Whereas "Commando" took itself very seriously!!!!! 2
Connor if scotland went independent you would have one of the weakest armys in the world, not due to your soldiers, but due to your numbers and lack of equipment, probably wouldnt even meet nato criteria.
@marcoskids if your scottish mate, u did get and still r getting bossed about by "english cunts". 300 years of war between scotland and england, and scotland won a pathetic 3 battles i think it was, or maybe 2.:) we took ur country, gave it back, took it agen and so on and so 4th. STOP Gobbing off fuckin joe bag
theres not that much scots getting recruited into the royal regiment of scotland but the whole army in general had lots of scots and they make a big number of the british army up! imagine what would happen if scotland went independant haha they might even make there own parachute regiment! haha im blethering but they would be hard as nailss:L
Loads of scots in the army!!!!! You have to be kidding, during the 70s and 80s I would agree, but sadly your recruiting numbers have gone through the floor, thats why there are so many fijians in scottish regiments, they were bought in to try and save your historic regiments, but unfortunately it was too little too late.
The only reason why theres loads of scots in the army is coz theres high unemployment up there while the weather is shit and theres nothing to do... but the scots are a tough breed... like the irish, english and welsh..
I will tell you why it annoys me, it annoys me because it is not true, I was a section commander in the infantry and worked with the sas in bosnia and a hell of a lot in Northern ireland in the nineties, yes there are scottish lads in the regiment, but seventy percent is absolute nonsense. you will be lucky if its ten per cent.
I have nothing against scottish soldiers, I have worked with Black watch and R.H.F. All good lads.
Do yourself a favour and stop listening to crap on t.v.
@superstratboy If you're a Jock then why does your YouTube profile say you're from the US? Also It says you 28, you obviously didn't stay in the Para's very long did you?
doesnt look half as tough now as it did to me when iwas a kid watching it and even thats Al Slaters only a bairn himself. I know he later joined the SAS and was shot in Northern Ireland poor bloke
lol that makes more sense but i thought it referred to the fact the guy may have been small. And in saying that they built a wall to keep small people out means that they cant climb over tall walls lol
