[bigmac 97kt 13,823]

My son failed the 3 day prack test for the para,s ,well its just 3 days of hell but he failed it

 

so he picked him self up and started training , running up and down the sand dunes with a 40 pound pack on his back

 

Phoned up his case worker and she told him he could go for the para heavy artillery and heavy machine gun if he wanted based on the times he was running at catterick garrison

 

 

So he signed up as a para in the heavy artillery

 

he is away in a few months to start training as heavy artillery then he is away to p company to

 

start para training his running time at catterick is 9,18 on the para track

So he failed one of the hardest selection tests going.

He's learnt from it and moved on, that shows the aptitude of the lad. Many would have got their teddy and went back to mammy.

Wish him well from me Mac.

Cheers DJ, i think its 7para that he has join,d but iv got a feeling he will go for it again once in lol

 

he never settles for second best but its his foot in the door sort of thing if you no what i mean

 

he still has to do his jumps and still has to ern his barre

Congrats to your son Mac. 7RHA is a good regiment and looked upon as equal by most Para Reg soldiers. P company and the maroon beret says it all.
