2001-2018 and retired. I now sleep soundly in my bed because a new generation of 'rough men' stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm. Utrinque Paratus!

40 years ago next summer I did and passed p company at the age of 17. I was winged up in battalion before I was 18. The tranisium didn't have nets when I did it in the woods in Aldershot training area. Down by Farnham airfield I think it was. The run run jump net didn't have a wrap around net. It just had the net you had to punch a hole in the net. All the rest there was no nets only when you swung backwards onto a cargo net The parallel bars didn't have any safety net either. Plus we had just come off the stretcher run and I was fucked. We had to climb up the cargo net to the parallel bars. The only regiment in the British green army that has a test week to become a member of the parachute regiment.

The stretcher race was 7 miles then on Hankley Common plus the Assault course was a separate event with a 3 x round requirement. Or is my mind playing up in advanced years?

No safety nets at all in `72 on the old, rickety, red barred trainasium just over the A325 by Rushmoor Arena. I did that in Junior Para as well aged 15.. No headgear in the milling either. Then off to Abingdon to get your wings. 2 X Balloon jumps, then 2 x Aircraft clean fatigue jumps then another 4 jumps with equipment, one being a night jump. Great days, great lads. Sadly too many have gone now and more go every couple of months.

Just after they finished the 5 mile of death to the NAAFI before they went on permanent gate guard. Gate up gate down gate up fucking gate down. Fuck enemy RUN, ow let's shoot my body armour as well.
