"READY FOR ANYTHING" Used to be in TA 4 PARA here so god bless ya Matty!
 
Not many mate I nevr did static line and never free fall, got absolutely wiped out down in Aldershot and left soon after! Now the RAF is my career! The main problem I had is that I'm soft as sh*t and the para's are hard as nails so I never got my full maroon beret! My mates anth was a sniper in the Para's and another called Matty Johns did pass though and were still mates to this day!
TBH it was trough injury that I failed and onces tried never again for me so I joined the RAF lol!
 
excuse the pun but thats some career jump, personally in para and for leisure i have 75 static and 150+ Freefall, i try to do a jump every week, some weekends i just get bored and hang around one of the skydiving clubs on my journeys and jump with the rookies :icon_lol:
 
WOW I mean when I was in and were talking 6 years ago we ran ran and ran up everthing but I never jumped tho so I never got to wear the wings fully I mean, I have done parachute jumps but never when I was in the Paras as I never passed P company. but mate as a guy of your age I'd love to see some photos mate!
Being TA I trained for moths with some of the best guys I know and still know as I live like 2 mins tab away from my local base which is also home tosome "special soldiers" if you know what I mean and its a bond that never breaks I feel like!!
 
will dig some up... yeah paras pride themselves on Physical Fitness, hill runs, flat runs, cross country runs, hell a mile and a half in 9 flat is always a nice challenge and a great hangover cure :icon_lol:
 
LOL yeah near where I live the tyne river has some very nice hills and we uses to run up them 3 or 4 times then we used to cary or partners up, you know what I mean the guy next to ya.. I can remember the words the SGT used to say... right lads pick the man to your right up and run up then run down then its his turn! lol
I mean I cannit swear here but jesus H christ that was pain especially after a run of at leat 4 to 5 miles
Now I run on beer and avgas luckily haha!
 
The best thing I remeber though mate was ging out on night exercise with an LSW with the CWS 13 mags and just having the best time of my life
 
OH YES! i remember some E&E training, we got compromised so i hid in a nettle bush a particular highlight that sticks in mind is "come on out we know yer in there" had a torch aimed right at me and reply "you want me so much come and fetch" :icon_lol:
 
I know we're going way OT here, but 9 minutes? I used to dream of nine minutes - especially when I was struggling along at 11:29... "You've got no stamina staff." was the serious dressing down I got from the CO when I just scraped in (age 29 ish)

Stamina and speed are different things, so I changed my sport to marathons. Three hours twenty was my best time in four "paid" runs and a dozen training runs... stamina... the CO never managed that! I ran the marathon faster than the BFT! It was those "Boots DMS" (for "Dem's My Shoes") that slowed me down...

Not too bad for a REMF (F not E... work it out)

We REME peoples were allowed to play sodjers occasionally. I loved being the bad guy on E&Es and normal excercises. Those red armbands went nicely with my hair... Clashed with the blue beret though...
