Good for him mate! This timetable is pleasant looking and, in places, it looks as if someone might break into a sweat! The truth however is of course much more "robust" - I rather like the idea of "Gym and Swimming Assessment" - I remember doing mine in the Sigs and that was not particularly pleasant and I'm a brill swimmer!!!(Y)
What the booties get up to I dread to think!

What the booties get up to I dread to think!

I definately couldnt do it now, might have even struggled back in the day ?

Way to go, Paul!

I was wondering why I hadn't seen him on here for quite awhile. Are the British Commandos the same as our Rangers? Are they parachute qualified? Looking forward to hearing more about his progress. Tell him we're all proud of him, Andy.

Thanks Frisco I will definately pass on your comments.
I believe they do have to be parachute trained but that may come later as a specialist training course, not sure , leave it with me I will find out at what stage they do it.
