Re: the 20 weeks thing, this is for (enlisted) Parachute Regiment recruits, P Company is integral to their phase 2 training. There is also a standalone all arms P Company with the same tests for both officers and trained soldiers from various corps wishing to serve in say airborne engineer, signals, artillery units etc.. and newly minted officers who wish to serve in the Parachute Regiment.

That "stick" he was carrying is the pendant given to the recruit who the screws decide came top in each event the materials made from it where salvaged from ww2 the wood being from Malaysia the cloth from curtains in Normandy and brass melted down from shells from Arnhem

When he says "Red zone" he's referring to heart rate.

And the beauty of the Paras is you have tough lads from every village,town and City and from all the countries in the UK ,Scotland,England,Wales and Northern Ireland and with the exception of a few other countries from the commonwealth countries.This is what makes the Paras the regiment they are.

The instructors carry the same weight as the joes except for the rifle. As for the snidey comments, the Paras have a complex about the Royal Marines. 😂

16:15 In the UK we use them to stop sheep escaping farms, Sheeps legs get stuck in it and farmers go and collect them when found missing

It was a idiot politician put the whole army in one place to save money, not thinking tactically

Head dress is a cap comforter. A woollen tube that can be rolled up and worn as a hat, used as a scarf or to tie something together. When rolled up as a hat, the top can be left long, folded over and then tucked in the side. Foliage can then be stuck in at all angles for camoflage.

Being placed behind enemy lines with only the weapons, supplies and ammunition you can carry takes a certain state of mind.
Being dropped out of a plane also. Similar thing.

16:30 if you didn't know these are cattle grates. You can put them on a road, and cows won't walk over them, so you don't need a fence you have to open.

The head dress is what you wear until you have passed P-Company and earned your maroon beret. The Royal Marines do the same until you have earned your cap badge / beret. Its actually an issue headover, like a tubular piece of warm kit, like a snood.

what they didnt tell you is that the guys have 14 weeks phase 1 training and then 20 week phase 2 training, and then P Company

@jodu626 4 years ago

As a ex RM the most bad ass head ware is the cap comforter. Gaining the green lid is the goal, but once you enter the commando stage of training and you get to wear the cap comfort, it's the first time you feel special. You feel linked to the original commandos from Achnacarry from 1940.

In the RM the down side to the cap comforter is once it's on your head you can't stand still or walk. Double time even in the spot the whole time it's on your head. We would never wear headgear inside, unless addressing an officer in uniform.

RM commando phase is about 8 weeks long. I'm my day (mid 90s) week 22-30. Not sure what it is today.

These boys would be NATOs spearhead against Russia in the event of a conflict.

RM starts out quite light, 22lb and webbing, about 25lb in a day sack is about 5 miles the first speed march back to camp. Load carries go up to 22lb and weapon and upto 100lb burgan load out.

Both Royal Marines and Paras in the Falklands was carrying webbing rifle and 150lb and up for 80 miles fighting as they went.

The gaurds got tasted with a similar load out and distance, but they are not trained for that and forund it impossible, they turned back and sadly it was decided they would catch as ship around the coast and it was sank with a lot of life.

Primosole platoon - named after the action in Sicily 1943. The Primosole Bridge. Bit of a cock up but the learning curve was steep.
And the men were brave.
