Hi there guys sorry for being a virus :D but I posted this exact same post on the Army's training and joining but thought I'd post it here as well as it is the paras that I want to join. Just asking a question that has really anoyed me and was looking for anyone with previous experience or someone who knows about it to answer, Should i got to Harroagte then catterick or just catterick. I was initially going to join the paras as a junior para at Harrogate, doing my phase 1 then phase 2 at catterick. But recently I have read that the college dosent really prepare you for the training at catterick and also I heard that it is better to go to ITC Catterick from the begging as you can form a bond with your platoon, is this true or should I still go to the AFC harrogate. I'm not that bothered about leaving school as well so I could wait till I'm 18. Any help would be much appreciated.
