  • do the parachute regiment always get deployed in afghanistan by parachute or is this just used to lure people into the idea of joining. in reality do most get transported to kandahar airfield by aircraft.

  • @1982FMJ Most people In The Army Go From Raf Brize Norton To Kandahar By A Tristar And Then By Either A Hercules Or Chinook To Camp Bastion And Then The Soldiers That Go On The Frontline The Get Sent To Their Forward Operating Bases By Either Chinook Or Land Transport :)

    And The Paras Do Several Jumps Each Year... But They Havnt Done An Operation Jump Since World War 2.... I Hope This Helps Mate :)

  • @waddokid  5 November 1956 suez was the last jump.

  • Every time I now see the words 'Para' or 'Parachute Regiment' I really do get exhausted at the thought of all the time and effort I've spent putting into being accepted into the Regiment! Tough lads! tough Regiment!

  • @ConnorFerguson08 the para's was in that our war mate 

  • when 'H' Jones was killed in the Falklands his replacemt was parachuted into the South Atlantic!!

  • @zentropa whats that supposed to mean mate?

  • The Paras, for when you need people killing in an instant.

    They're not for when you need people to police the streets and hand lollipops out to kids, admittedly, but they are brave, lethal and yes, nasty.

  • Yes they do go to 1 Para from depot, my son was back trooped from his original platoon due to injury, but most of his mates from that platoon went to 1 Para, it may have been the case before that they didn't go to 1 Para straight from depot but that has definately changed,like a previous post it all depends on manning.

  • @waddokid

    Suez crisis 1956, 3 Para jumped.

  • @waddokid

  • @patrickww99 That would be "you're".. Dopey grunt. Warrenpoint.
