The Parachute Regiment.

[Mr.Ormes]

Well, here I am, 17, 18 on July the 17th, just been made redundant from my electrical engineering apprentership with a local firm after 8 months. Before I went for the apprentership I wanted to join the Para's but my family requested I got for the apprentership instead blah blah, now I'm going for the Para's and was wondering if anyone on here has served? Or family/friends have served in the Para's and what they can tell me about it? Thanks guys!

one of my mates i used to work with done it, he said it was good fun, then again he is a personal trainer and his idea of fun is doing a thousand sit ups every hour, its hard work and helps if your a good runner, not being scared of heights might be useful haha

In reality being literate would exclude you from the paras.

You'll get more help on www.arrse.co.uk

Just keep to the Training Wing section, and for the love of Gods stay away from the Naafi!!

Have a thick skin and a sense of humour on there, cause you'll bloody well need it in the army.

You need to be fast. 1.5 miler is something like under 9:30.

I do despair when the best someone can offer is a double post.
