My old school friend was in the British parachute regiment for almost 20 years, he was a Sargent training up the next recruit's before he left, he had taken part in several training exercises in the US, possibly here, he always spoke very highly of his American counterparts, both infantry & Airborne.

In the US, Airborne is just a light infantry division or brigade with a fancy way of getting to the fight. They're still classified as Infantry - they just have an additional skill identifier that labels them as having been through Airborne school

@budte and? That doesn't mean either of them are comparable to the 75th Ranger Regiment, and there are several members of both the Paras and Royal Marines who will openly admit they are not comparable. I'm not saying they aren't good, they're great! But they are not comparable. It's like comparing an apple to a pineapple..

When I visited the British overseas territory of Gibraltar on the Southern tip of Spain I was astonished to see a massive joint UK and US nuclear capable naval base (the size of an entire town) with US warships lined up in the heart of the mediterranean alongside UK warships and nuclear subs...you can see how closely and well the US and UK work together around the world for global peace and security.

A long time ago, I served 21 years in the Marines (1968-1989) as an infantry officer with 3 years in combat. I think the recruit and officer candidate training today is more demanding than when I entered OCS, but the Vietnam War demanded a lot of people ASAP and so OCS training was trimmed by several weeks and Officer training was cut by 3 months to 6 months. The training was hard and there were 9 months crammed into 6 months. I felt prepared to lead a platoon of Marines in Vietnam. It was a hard year and I was mentally and physically exhausted when I returned to the states. I had also lost 30 pounds and a number of medical issues dealing with parasites and infections. My first 10 years in the Marines was leading platoons and companies with high training tempos, lots of exercises, and deployments aboard amphibious ships. I was a company commander during the evacuation of Saigon in April 1975 aboard the LPD USS Denver (among other amphibious ship types). We were always being changed to different ships and to different training areas in the western Pacific. From 1986-88 I was a LtCol who volunteered to serve two years in Latin America supporting counter-insurgency operations with the host nation's Army and Navy. It was not as dangerous as Vietnam, but still dangerous work. In all, I guess I should have died at least a dozen times in those 21 years, but somehow managed to finish with permanent back pain and a broken hip. The greatest honor in my life was leading Marines. I'd do it all again if I could. Semper Fi.

The cottonmouth/water moccasin does not chase soldiers or people. When threatened the snake will go straight towards its nest regardless if you're in it's direct path. It may seem like they're coming towards you but in reality just making their way to their nest.

As an old Geronimo from the days when we were still wearing BDU's, just before switching to those ugly ACU's, when she said "elite training centers"... I had me a good chuckle. Then... When she said "12 days"... I laughed harder. Imagine being at the hellish nightmare known as JRTC... out in The Box... for 35 days... for a single rotation. Now imagine going to the little known lowest ring of hell, that even the devil doesn't like to go near, and was the set for the movie Tigerland... known fondly as Peason Ridge. THAT place... is a nightmare! Hope and pray you never get a vehicle stuck in the mud on Peason Ridge. Because if you do, you're walking out, caked in blue mud, and you'll never see that vehicle again. Peason Ridge EATS vehicles and equipment.

I was at FT. Polk doing training for a NATO rotation to Kosovo in the early 2000s. 9/11 happened and luckily someone had brought a TV with rabbit ears that could pick up local TV. I heard people talking about the special effects of a possible movie trailer. It took a minute to sink in that this wasn't a disaster movie trailer but real life happening. It made everything feel surreal at the time. Also FT. Polk sucks and is humid to all the hells.

@@goforbroke4428 Not taking away from the 101 but even they will tell you the 10th has them hands down. 1 Brigade is virtually always out. Nobody else has that kind of OPTEMPO. Even the Groups get more time rest to retrain and recover between Deps. When I was there just prior to 9/11 it was nuts. It just got crazier since. Also, JRTC breaks units. That Brigadier was being kind for TV. Guaranteed the OCs tore them a new one for missing their SP.

@@smokejaguarsix7757 my dad did a little bit of time training soldiers out in fort Polk, it was just a few months though.
