Anyone see this?
 
Follows an intake of 50 lads from day one through to Afganistan

Lost a lad within the first few days as everywhere he went it was all "military" Obviously did not read the small print 

When the Instructor demonstrated how to rip a throat out "proberly resulting in death, but hey, thats our business" classic line

Worth following

can't bring myself to watch it.... they will probably big up the commando's and yet again the Para's will get left without media coverage again 

they don't tell you how the commando's that were actually guarding the Falkland islands actually surrendered when the argies invaded 

the para's had to come and save the fookers

There was a whole series about the Paras in the 80's. From signing up to passing out.

Bit unfair with the falklands comparison, the odds weren't exactly in their favour lol

OI!  differant country I know, but you leave the commandos alone.  Actually I was hobby commando and only did it because I was unemployed.

[HammyUK]

Mud Run? no weapons, no kit??? got off lightly. There won't be any beastings, not aloud anymore. They'll get shown the card. Can't even fail a CFT anymore even if the muppet can't walk you have to pass them!

The Parachute Regimental Association
"What manner of men are these who wear the red beret?

They are firstly, all volunteers and are then toughened by hard physical training.  As a result they have that infectious optimism and that offensive eagerness which comes from physical well being.  They have jumped from the air and by doing so have conquered fear.

Their duty lies in the van of battle; they are proud of their honour and have never failed in any task.  They have the highest standards in all things whether it be skills in battle or smartness in execution of all peacetime duties.

They have shown themselves to be as tenacious and determined in defence as they are courageous in attack.  They are in fact, men apart.

Every Man an Emperor."

Field Marshall the Viscount Montgomery of Alamein.

Didn't come out on top at Arnhem did they?

[GRNINJA]

they still got a battle honour 

[Shongololo]

Boys, boys. It doesn't matter what or who.I respect all service men, serving or served, grunt to flyboys.

Respect!!!They are doing a job most people are shit scared of doing or can't be bothered to do.

For me I had no choice it was compulsary and it did me the world of good, all kids should do it and I wouldn't bat an eye lid if my son or daughter had to go.

[GRNINJA]

yes dad
