So they earn their berets after passing P Company and then they are sent to battalion. From there they go to do their jump training. What happens if they fail the jump training? Are they out of the regiment? Do they get sent to another regiment? Do they lose the right to wear their maroon berets?

@@felixboldy1152 which part exactly? My uncle was an old school Para and commented though may get the beret many who pass para selection don’t automatically gets wings on uniform please explain the reason for this important point if your capable of conversing in logic without reverting to personal insults if not jog on. I’m going to an inter officers mess do in a couple of weeks time and will see what they say. The fact they have been moved from Aldershot to Kent shows they will be deployed on MoD contracts of taking ion roll on roll off ferries in times of war p Brize `Norton is the other way. I know they weren’t deployed by chute in the 20 year Gulf conflict or the Falklands war though caught in both. The last time deployed as airborne troops was 75 years ago in Korea. If you don’t agree say so but bollocks sheds no light on what the MoD planners have for the regiment. Happy to be wrong but would like to find out the truth.

RM RT currently involves about 20 weeks in the field Para RT currently involves about 10 The list goes on and on unfortunately for you lad. Make of those facts what you will…All the best

I did Northern Ireland Training at the Lydd ranges back in 1990. Not sure if its there now. It was a NI town mock up. Streets. Houses. Shops. Dummys etc. The training staff could communicate through speakers in certain areas, shops. Even some of the dummies. Theyd abuse you in a bad NI accent 😅 Anyway my point is during the training youd duck down behind a bin. Or a wooden fence. And i always remember the staff out on the street with us looking at me behind the fence and telling me "rounds pass through wooden fences" Full respect to these young lads. Well earned and well deserved PS nice SAS wings on the inspecting General PPS nice touch for the SGT to refer to them as paratroopers not joes, once they come off the square. And for the Corporal to announce them into the bar.

Last comment. RAF PJIs if they havent passed one of thr course that grants you permission to wear a full set of wings you shouldnt wear wings on your arm. Them courses are P company Royal marine commando All arms commando All arm p company SF selection. Whatever 2 sqn do RAF reg Not i am a PTI now a PJI. They wear a jump wing on their chest. It just makes it look like anyone can wear a full set of wings. A light bulb as we call it they should wear

@stuc3195 26 күн бұрын

It's slightly more nuanced than that. There are roles in the 3 services which allow you to go on the Basic Parachute Course without completing one of the 'pre parachute selection' courses you listed. But this will be down to the individual role of the person is required potentially to parachute. . And not because they are posted to a airborne unit supporting role. For example Royal Navy Clearance divers will go straight to Brize. Whereas RLC bods, engineers, gunners etc wanting to serve in air assault support regiments will need to pass P coy On a last point and I'm not 100% on this I did read somewhere that selected RAF PJIs don't need to do pre parachute selection , because they are selected from already qualified PTIs and then do the basic parachute course hence then wearing the wings? Other than that then yes agree. Also if you do the parachute course but aren't posted to an active airborne role unit again should be lighbulb

@carlseddon2392 yea good point. I never really understood the RAF PJI route. I know they were all PTIs, before moving to PJI. And they do the basic parachute course themselves. Now the Army also have PJIs integrated into the training wing My opinion on the wearing of wings is if you've done the course, and remain qualified, and are still 'current' then you should wear them. No matter your role or unit. You've earned it and ultimately you are ready, able and qualified in theory to jump anytime

Sorry, just tp add to this, my first jump was clean fatigue out of the herc. Then we did the ballon jump because we were on the DZ on western so it would be cheeky not to. I remember my older brother who was in the reg before me. Look at the tail of the balloon when you come to the rope, which was the door on the balloon cage. Now thats some stomach renching when you drop around 200 feet a PJI told me before the canopy is totally developed. You had to steer away from the lifting line which took the balloon up to 800 feet. At the back of depo aldershot the balloon would go up there so lads could get their para pay if they hadnt done enough jumps. It was normally airborne hats. Why would you choose to jump out the balloon. My brother did cannon fodder for baby PJIs and was doing a night jump out the balloon and reached for the ground banged in done his fib and tib in😮

@carlseddon2392 26 күн бұрын

Feet and knees together we were always drilled at brize on my wings course in January 85. One lad there looked like he was reaching for the ground with ground rush. That's how you break something especially when the wind is on its limits. Heavy fatigue in a single stick of four is far removed from jumping in battalion with two sticks of at least 30 on each side going into the slip stream
