Try and make more of an effort with your posts Tom, this is barely legible.TomClarke wrote:What about joing p/coy. After you do p/coy and finish the jumpin and get your wings do you have the choice to RTU ?

P-Company is for Army personnel who are assigned to an airborne unit.
RM Commandos do not have to pass it (unless attached to an Army unit, and they want to do it).
Any Bootneck can apply to do the Para course.
But, the ones who get first dibs are ML's, SBS and members of a unit's Recce troop.
If there is a place available then as I've said anyone can do the course.
P Company is for the Army. Bootnecks because they have done the Commando Course are deemed to be ready and willing to attend the course without the need for P Coy due to the Commando tests all Bootnecks have to pass in order to earn their Green Lid and Flashes.

No, you'll only get a red beret to wear if you are attched to a Para unit (i.e. possible, but pretty unlikely).TomClarke wrote:Ok,
So if you get a chance to attempt the Para course and complete it successfully, do you also get a red berret and obviously you are able to wear your wings I presume.

Yes,
I was asking if you get a red berret on completion of the course and also your wings? So all the commandos with wings secretly want to be a Para ?
I dont think so, I would of thought they just want to be able to jump. As I do when I complete my RT.
I didnt say I wanted a red berret or to be a para did I ?
