Thank you mike_B, well said. Cav-Lad, the test Chapps is referring to is in fact unique to the Parachute Regiment at least in recent times. Absoulutely f@#k horrible test done over a 2 mile course. It's used annually to test a battalions fitness levels along with a 10 mile tab. I can't remember exac...

Don't worry about wearing a bergen much if you're doing weight training as well. You don't want to get injured at this stage. Maybe do the odd tab on soft ground, or even better one long walk in a hilly area every week or two.
Cheers

Glad to hear you don't want to be a marine Mal. :wink: As far as pressups go, it seems that your strength may not be so good. Most people will tell you to try and add a couple each time you do them, but if you're only managing 25 now then that's still quite low. Personally, I would add some weight t...

Para-Recruit, I interract and treat people how they do so with me. If somebody on this forum asks for advice I will give it with the best of my knowledge and experience. Likewise, it's good to debate topics if people have opinions and questions of interest. I have found this site very beneficial per...

I know what you're saying Cav-Lad, but as you said yourself you "could have JOINED". Anybody with decent fitness levels could do well on RSC and JOIN. This doesn't mean you would have PASSED through Depot Para. The Depot is 26 weeks long (at least when I joined) and P-Company is the defini...

Good post Cav-Lad. I agree that there is resentment towards Paras and vice versa, but I don't neccessarily see this as a bad thing. Individuality is good and because we see ourselves as elite and different, it encourages a unique esprit de corps. To be honest most Paras enjoy this resentment and it ...

Don't hold back now Cav-Lad! :wink: At the end of the day we will all stick up for our own regiments and it would be a quite sad if we didn't. I am an ex-Para and I personally I believe that The Parachute Regiment are the finest fighting regiment outside of special forces because the training produc...

Chapps, go to the Parachute Regiment website then click on joining, then join as a soldier. Then go to P-Company and it lists the P-Company events in full. This is the only updated written evidence on any site I've found, but my mate was 100% sure these were the events that had been binned and I thi...

Do worry too much about beasting yourself before depot. There really is no point. Just do one fartlek session/or short fast run, one mid distance run(5 miles) at a decent pace, and one slow endurance run above 5 mileseach week. Then do whatever strength work you require. Depot starts off gradually i...
