  • I think you do choose which regiment you would like to apply for. I know one guy changed his mind while at Harrogate from what he thought originally. I believe for the Paras you have to achieve certain level eg fitness and that it is tougher than for other regiments. Lots of training ahead then! Hope it goes well. Lx

  • my intake is 5th september 2010. I so can't wait! Civvi life bores me lol, this vid is awesome, bet your so proud of him :) x

  • @SydSqueek Thanx for the comment! I'm glad you like the video. It was an amazing day - and soooo cold! You can see the 5ft snow banks! Congratulations on passing selection! It takes ages doesn't it!

    You are right, I am very proud of my son. What a lot he has achieved in his year and a half with the army. He just wnet to Germany on Sunday.

    Harrogate can be pretty tough I think but also rewarding and I doubt you'd be bored! They keep you pretty busy!

    Emjoy the summer and good luck! Lx

  • i found it easier than i thought it would be to be honest!

  • Well done u! I am so pleased for you. Alasdair passe dout 17 Dec and is now at Bovington. U?

  • That's brilliant! I can understand you would have mixed feelings about it. It is a big step. I can't say I was too keen that my son chose to go but he has learned a lot in the short time he's been there and seems to still be enjoying it.

    He will be at Harrogate until Dec so you might see him!

    Best of luck with it!
