P.COMPANY CHANNEL 4 PART 3

[CRC1770]

Typical non-infantry lads; never carried a Bergen in their lives...

[davevak]

@truefalse this is the Channel 4 production titled P Company, nothing to do with the BBC production in '82.

[TheNetHasEyes1]

03:13 would love to knock the ginger instructor clean out...KNOB HEAD

[Joustan]

sorry but wtf is going on in the background at 09:43

ass wound?

seriously wtf man



[TODDYnPATTY]

"whats your problem?

"just fucked sir"

"just fucked, thats a fair one" - hahahha love military humor!

[MindlessGimboid01]

fuckin fair play to these guys...It's why we're the best: We can take shit and shovel it! 

[mikefan09]

to current and former soldiers who have served with other forces, namely u.s and european, how would u assess and characterise other forces and how would u compare them to british? namely the us forces, army and marines, and special forces. also im thinking of dutch army and marines, met them and also heard they r very good skilled and hard bastards. please let me know very interested.

[yellowhelloable]

@mikefan09 All forces are good at what they do. Governments don't waste money with crap training. My grandfather was a british royal marine commando and he always said the US soldier is an awesome professional

[mikefan09]

@yellowhelloable thanks for that. yeh id say they r all on a good level, im interested in who can be said to be the best, who has the greatest achievements and reputation. ofcourse, brit forces have a long, illustrious and professional awe inspiring reputation. and americans are known as capable and courageous, this all springs from a conversation i had with a dutch royal marine describing his experiences working with these other forces, and how different they r. respect to all fighters!

[yellowhelloable]

@mikefan09 I guess hard core special forces guys like the SAS and Delta Force are truly the best.

[TheConfusedDave]

@gunnermac70 Basically, tough shit.

[march2fuzz]

this looks like afucking nightmare.. big respect to the blokes whove done this

[randomchris1988]

that's fucking st.mawgan!!

they're at the old army barracks that is now RAF St. Mawgan!

i only know because of the Shackleton (the plane) in front the mess hall.

and i was there last year, conducting ATP for Londons

[TheBoofdog]

failed the marines so had to settle for 2nd best ehhhhhhh

[BiffaBaconx44]

working as a Personal Trainer in the UK all the ex military personnel i've trained have had incredible stamina and staying power which is a fantastic testamentt to the PTIs in the UK armed forces well done guys you certainly know your stuff

[hutch1111111]

Is there a reason they are carrying SLR's over the SA 80 for the course?

[truefalse]

@hutch1111111 This was filmed in 1980's...

[hutch1111111]

@truefalse Thanks, I thought it was a newer documentary! That would explain it.

[davevak]

@hutch1111111 it was filmed in the early 90's not the 80's. The rifle is the belgian FN SLR rather than the british SLR. These were used on P Coy up until P Coy moved up to Catterick in middle-late 1992.

[hutch1111111]

@davevak Thanks for the info!

[davevak]

@truefalse no mate, it was filmed in late 91 or sometime around early 92

[cozzatee69]

5:29 looks like it tickled.

[1ballsonchin]

I wonder if number 8 ever passed P Company?

[fuzos100]

portuguese MARINES (FUZILEIROS) the best of the wold

[mike0mike]

@fuzos100  LOL.

[area51er6]

For all those yanks, who say the brits aren't hard enough on their troops, just watch this series, these sgt's are tough!

@mike0mike Don't worry, he's nothing but a troll looking for attention. Check out his recent history and comments on his page

[mikepk1210]

Is walking 10 miles in 2 hours good? I'm 16 and want to join...

[soldierside365]

@mikepk1210

with or without weight on your back?

[mikepk1210]

@soldierside365 Err, I had a science test at school and I live 10 miles away, couldnt be arsed to wait for a bus so I walked back... (i now live in the countryside which is shit) Err, so a school bag with books water...fairly heavy, but nothing bad..so, you can figure that out :P

[soldierside365]

@mikepk1210

thats not bad, since i dont know much about your fitness levels already, but i wouldnt worry about that stuff before your in. concentrate on running 1.5 miles in 9:15 before you start worrying about running with weight on. its a different type of fitness, being a shorter, faster more intense rather than a slow prolonging pain of a 20 miler. i recommend interval training, and hill sprints ;)

[mikepk1210]

@soldierside365 My mile and a half is 9 22... :D

[soldierside365]

@mikepk1210

well your absolutly fine, just keep training, and you'll piss on the run in selection ;)

[281Harry]

bloody hell that must have hurt falling down that hill :O

[wycliffe35]

My full respect to anyone who has gone through this........

[scaleydragon]

only two things drop out of the sky  Bird Shite and ummmm Para`s

[pullupboy]

[SquatNshit]

[ZoeQ93]

oh memories of old p-coy never again thank fuck no woman has ever passed p-coy but did the cdo cse says it all we paras are the best and fittest fighting force in the world

[tomandsamuel]

Johncr100....do you know anything else about the staff? I know the SSgt PTI is Graham Carter from Melton in Leics. What about the major and the other sergeants?

[johncr100]

Could you send me a copy of this? Cheers.

[johncr100]

I did this with the same instructors. "Catch me up and you will change". You caught up and didn't changed. This was probably recorded late 1990, earlier 91. Used to have the video and glad you loaded it. Thanks!

[Isthisthelongestname]

@johncr100

says 1992 at the end - but it is clearly november so whether is was november 91 and shown in 92 or was made in november 92, i dont know lol.

[cooking23]

5 & 6 just too baby faced to be para!

[MrJonnyboyification]

looks like good fun

[rwc20071]

i have so much respect for even these guys trying let alone passing.

[thisguyssosick]

5.30, got loads of sympathy lol

[richard14031974]

This is why the British has the best military fighting force in the world

[Louisthefish23]

@richard14031974 i would say the army abso-fucking-lutely but the USA and a superb air force and navy, its just their ground forces are absolute wank

[GrindMasterElite]

@richard14031974 That would be the legion my friend

[Rapist87]

@GrindMasterElite Maybe 2REP, but I think it's a stretch to compare regular Legion infantry with British Para or Marine regiments. But yes 2REP definately one of the top fighting units anywhere in the world

[GrindMasterElite]

@Rapist87 Fair enough:)

[Rapist87]

@GrindMasterElite They are all seriously hardcore professional soldiers no doubt

[Musketor]

when they fell down the rocks must have hurt like hell

[kingy1889]

I have so much respect for the airborne lads.

[snipers2theEND]

[MATTNATTMATT]

@snipers2theEND

[Jordan22473]

The boss man looks like wladimer klitchco

[steveycommentman]

[DjTurt]

zigzag909 - twat

[TrevWindsorSmythe]

[MATTNATTMATT]

@zigzag909

[gm4n117]

Fuck you panty shield, im going to the paras, and i completley agree with miko, i respect marines, and youre just an ungrateful little fag who id happily beat the shit out of

[foldershot]

Im goin paras 2 m8 wen u goin

[RidexFastxLandxFlat]

i wanna go para as well lol =]

[1dealsin]

Marines is not Army! its navy.

argument pointless

[BertrumPantyshield]

Falklands - 2 VCs worth... oh. Afghanistan - 1 VC worth... oh again. Shame history disagrees with you... what's it like being part of a unit which is the only in British military history to surrender without losing a single man. Those maroons berets took the island back for the cabbage hats. That proves what they're fucking worth.

[Miko600]

hey pantyshield,Im an ex-marin and have no time or respect for people like you at all. Have u got ur wings or green lid?in fact r u even in the army?untill you do have any of the above dont post ur immature opinions about things u know SFA about.Paras and Marines are men who put their lives on the line so people like u can sleep safely in their beds at night.I have respect for Paras and know they have for us so stop u worrying about whos the best and just get a life u wannabe!

[omearadaniel]

@Miko600 The bRITISH ARMY IS MAN FOR MAN THE BEST ARMY IN THE WORLD. Fact

[Miko600]

Also re-check your history,the Marines did not surrender it was the Governor of the Falklands who took the decision to surrender,the Marines had wanted to fight on.Plus its not about who there first it was about winning the war and they all had their own jobs to do and I dont just mean the Marines and Paras it was all the regiments who fought and put their lives on the line,respect to all of them.

[bobgladstone]

The correct decison or the marines would have been wiped out by the large invading argentine force. The Argentines could not believe that so few marines caused sucjh havoc. the Marines, paras and the guards took the full brunt of the fighting on the falklands and won every battle they took part in but without the logistical support of every serviceman the conflict could not have been won

toms and bootnecks rule !!!

[thesilverfingered1]

commando cant do P-company! ouch!
