They do it for money, at the bidding of politicians and corporations, made justifiable by media propaganda. Sad so many young people die over the economy.
Wow. That was slick. I passed P Company in 1981, and how it's changed. No head guards for the milling, then, but the attitude is similar. It's good to hear them referring to killing the enemy, not 'Taking them out' and other insidious euphemisms. This may no longer be the case, but we were given every opportunity to 'jack', back then. Every man at all times was able to give up; it was made easy. Back of the land rover, no acrimony. It was impossible to know who would pass. I had a guardsman, who was desperate to join the paras, in front of me on to the confidence course (an assault course 70' in the air), he froze; he just couldn't do it. And a man who took a backward step in the milling; he failed. And I can remember crawling for what seemed like miles under a lot of weight. An instructor sidled up to me in silence with a small note book and said to me, quietly, so nobody could overhear, "Wanna jack, sir, wanna jack? Go on sir, jack". I kept going. He was looking for hesitation. Paras aren't only about aggression, killing the enemy requires cunning, too. Paras are total bastards. What would we do without them? Forgive the Rupert writing style; I can't be arsed to translate. God save the Queen.
I understood all of your sentiments and the inferences therein. I must say, watching videos of the Balloon Jump is not for the fainthearted; actually doing it requires one being a "Madman" of the best sort ;)
Same here mucker I passed p company in July 84 no head guards just punched fuck out of eachother. Also passed out with my wings. They didn't for a long time which is fucking shocking. Now they do I have read 31 weeks training now 2 weeks at brize mine was 4 weeks
Should be a proud man no easy way into the paras and when you are one it’s a major achievement I feel they don’t get enough respect at the commandos an hopefully going to have a go a p company in a few years an if I pass out it will be the most proud moment off my life

As ex para myself I will say this. The regiment needs to evolve. The SFSG role needs to be expanded to include all three battalions. The Paras should be Britain's direct action weapon of choice and should be funded appropriately. The model we should be looking to is the US Ranger Regiment. A fast hitting multi-insertion capable sledge hammer. In SOCOMD to support other SF units but still capable of operating as an independent identity with a rich, aggressive and unconventional heritage.
@@trident1314 It is envisioned that everyone "should" do some time in their career within 1 Para (SFSG). I guarantee that probably won't happen. Once you're there you'll either try and stay there (in SFSG) or get into a sabre squadron through SAS/SBS/SRR selection. 16 Air Assault just hasn't got the "juice" (money, resources and quality of tasks) that UKSF can provide. The truth is UKSF need more of these larger well trained units (like Ranger units) to properly prosecute missions.
@@trident1314 That's fine but the RM's don't own the Commando monica. The Paras came from No 2 Commando in WW2. Commando units were traditionally Army units. The Marines received the seaborne role of commando capability at roughly same time Para units were raised to provide the airborne commando capability. We (The Parachute Regiment) should of NEVER relinquished the word commando. Big mistake.
Good compilation matey, got the tone just right! The Belize footage takes me back alot of years! At the time hated jungle training, but now id jump at the chance to go do it again.
In my day we never had chutes we just jumped out and wore two pairs of socks to cushion the landing, the course was so hard no one ever passed and if you did pass P coy you were shot for being cocky.

@So Cal How? When was the last war france won ? i will tell you smart arse 1918 , the nazi's walked through europe including france the brits had to bail them all out , we the british were fighting wars when the french were in the trees eating bananas
The quality of training is second to none. My nephew is an officer in the 4th Regiment. Hopefully he will move to the regular 3rd and 2nd within a year..
Cant wait to go into the paras wont be long now been training my heart out everyday in preparation as i know this is the most elite regiment and they wont just take anybody, im only 18 but super fit and strong ready to take on this challenge. Boxed since i was 9 so that will help alot with being mentally strong and disciplined. Like their motto im ready for anything 💪🏻
This film makes me more proud to be a PARA 🇬🇧💪🏻 Yeeeehaaa up the Reg 👍🏻What Manner of Men are These who wear the Maroon Red Beret Every Man an Emperor🙏🏻
The American recruit training, for all its intensity and vigor, still lacks the viciousness of British training instructors. I wish the Yanks had the same madness in their hearts.
I’m proud to know that I’ve got Airborne blood in me. Didn’t know this was what my dad went through. Luckily he made it out. After 8 years of being a paratrooper, he was ready to quit. Go home to his Ma and Dad. Then he spent a few years doing nothing, getting jobs, getting girls, having fun. Then he met my mum, who cheated on him. They broke up on my 10th birthday.
Yeah makes my piss boil . Take a look at what they do to the ex paras trying to help their brothers n sisters from ptsd at a camp he's opened up in his land, being accused of being far right cause he loves his country. #Activepatriot search his videos and listen to a vet called little veteran. #Children.matternews
you will always have some sad act putting the thumbs down just because their jealous etc , they will be negative on a little disabled kid doing something for themselves which is a huge achievement for the kid etc , if they watched someone walk on water they would probably say their only walking on water because they cant swim . i personally stay away from them dont want their sad mentality getting in my head .
@TJ Murphy Did you hear about the 10 solders that were murder and had their dicks cut off and shoved in their mouths eh ? , do you know anything other than propaganda ? Were you there ? Then shut the F$$k UP !!!! .
Cant wait to join this regiment. Its been my dream since i was 6 to join the army but never really knew what role i wanted to do, but now, its PARAs or nothing.
Did my 'p' coy late 59 then 'p'coy staff 70-75 in the 50's no dms boots only studded sole boots it was horrendous on a winter course with ice on shuffle bars and trainasium.still the young men today get it rough and I'm chuffed to bits with today's young Paras well done!
Were you at Aldershot in ‘71 when a bunch of 16yr old schoolboys came for a 2 week sighting course? Haha. I’ll never forget it. Guys running everywhere carrying logs. Loved the Assault course. I remember assembling a GPMG (I think) on my bunk blindfold, and the firing range trying to hit a target at 50yds with a sten on single shot. No chance.
Was meant to start basic training in a couple of months. Got deferred because I was told I needed to take a cardiology test as they was something showing up on their readings when I was having my ECG. Turns out it was a chest infection. Months and months of wasted time but I'm going back to the assesment centre next month... been deferred twice now for silly things hoping it all goes to plan this time round. To everyone who's thinking of applying. Make sure you are fit and healthy before you attend the assesment centre
My kid's uncle served in 1st Battalion, loved it, came out was a postman for a while and thought fuck that, went into private security and now has his own contracts.
I'll tell you this. The British Parachute Regiment are the best soldiers in the world outside of special forces. They have the toughest basic training out of any infantry soldier in.the world. They are second to none.
This regiment of so called Soldiers murdered 23 unarmed innocent civilians in Belfast and Derry in 1971/1972. Cowardly murdering scum , they were very tough when it came to killing unarmed civilians not so tough when the they met armed volunteers of the IRA at Warrenpoint
I met a Corporal from 1 Para back in 1983, we did an exchange when they were on Penguin duty in Edinburgh. He told me about Northern Ireland, Scouse was his name, little guy, hard as nails. A decade plus I hod got my commission and was going through the mortar platoon leaders course at Benning after we got back from Desert Storm. We had a Para WO, he knew Scouse, small world. This old bastard would take a 81mm tube and base plate and run up and down the hill at lunch for PT (back when IMPOC was down on Upatoi creek). Consummate professional.
Here in Indian Army, the SF is part of the Parachute Regiment. In Indian Army the Parachute Regiment is divided into two roles, SF and airborne infantry. The PARAs of Indian Army consists of 14 battalions ( 9 SF and 5 Airborne Infantry). Every SF battalion is specialised in a different type of warfare, 3 battalions for mountain warfare and COIN, 2 battalions for desert warfare and COIN, 3 battalions for jungle warfare and COIN and 1 battalion for urban warfare, tactical ops and COIN. The 5 Airborne infantry battalions are used as a support group of SFs.
Thanks for your service Padre, I always will remember your predecessor who used to pass around Polo Mints on a jump! We all felt better with him in the stick. Unfortunately the IRA blew him up. RIP Polo. Cheers mate. Harera

I really want to join the PARAS as an officer. I am 14 right now, and training. Are there absolutely any tips related to the Army or fitness that would help me? Cheers
David Baer Barbell strength training, something like Stronglifts 5x5, lots of long runs and a full contact martial art, I’d suggest Muay Thai as it will give you incredible cardio.
@@sangyedorje3564 I really dont want to sound as a complainer, but I do TaeKwanDo, and everything here is softened up. Would boxing be a better alternative? We haent got Muay Thai here on IOW
A nice clip. Late father was former Airborne man of 1 Para based at Arnhem barracks,Aldershot 1962-1974. My younger brother served as a Para too with 216 Signals. Our family is proud of the Airborne colors my late father and brother fought for. In civvy life people remarked that Dad had this tough streak about him and would be wary of him.He was a great man but get on the wrong side of him........ This clip is a nice tribute to Dad who earned his wings and beret at Aldershot..Arnhem barracks !!!!!!
Yeah he can include thevVids of the blokes shooting up their own body armour too. Oh and when they went outside the camp in Iraq and had to be rescued by Royal Regiment of Wales 😂😂. People that wanna be soldiers but dont actually wanna be in the regular infantry, what's the actual point of em!!!
J ai été dans les parachutistes fin des années 80,mais j avoues les paras anglais c est les meilleurs. Chez nous en France on développe pas cette agressivité qui fais de toi un guerriers. Je suis resté 2 ans jamais on m'a mis une paire de gants de boxe.
I was in the army in 1968. We done 3 x1min rounds of boxing but we had no head gear in basic training. We didn’t know at the time, but it was all about. THAT WORD DISCIPLINE. and believe me it works, GOD BLESS THE BRITISH ARMY 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
@One big eye. One big ear. I think you're right im sure it was 8miles for the cross country assault course. I'm trying to remember something i done over 35 years ago the old memories not as good 😂.Cheers fella still brought back some great memories..
Joshua Turner hill runs and leg days are all you need pal. Watch out for that 4 miler on the land of nod or “big nod” it’ll burn your legs. 1.2 miler is easy. Steeplechase just stay hard and lace your boots tight. Give it a good go mate!
Tbh I'm not worried about fitness, for months I've been training to the old harder standards not realising they changed them, appreciate the advice though bud thank you.
Well I can honestly say that the training has changed since 1980 .I was proud to handle and hold my hard earned cap.... ...sorry beret ......after the training I shows respect and makes you a man 2 para 1980 to 92 and proud of it paras number 1.
In the 70s,the big old 10 mile speed match. Did you paras then.......wear tin hats and have your SLRs in the patrol position for this? I'm comparing!! If yes,that is worthy of some praise. Bad enough with SLR slung.
Did you know the para's where not the first regiment to jump out of a plane in battle! The king's own boarder regiment was, during WW2, that's why they have the glider patch on their arm and share the maroon stable belt as the para's.

0:47 do they still do that?
Hell yeah milling is a big part of pcoy
Airborne, "everyman an emperor"
Great video to stumble across, especially as I’m in it 👍🏼
Here in Indian Army, the SF is part of the Parachute Regiment. In Indian Army the Parachute Regiment is divided into two roles, SF and airborne infantry. The PARAs of Indian Army consists of 14 battalions ( 9 SF and 5 Airborne Infantry). Every SF battalion is specialised in a different type of warfare, 3 battalions for mountain warfare and COIN, 2 battalions for desert warfare and COIN, 3 battalions for jungle warfare and COIN and 1 battalion for urban warfare, tactical ops and COIN. The 5 Airborne infantry battalions are used as a support group of SFs.
God protect you guys peace in the all world Peace and love sending peace
All paras are nutters. I was the only sane person to serve in the regiment.
says who Mick lol not what i remember
😂 para para in the gutter, kicked to fuck by kings div nutter..
Stolen Valor right there guys we have our selves a bullshiter
Thanks for your service Padre, I always will remember your predecessor who used to pass around Polo Mints on a jump! We all felt better with him in the stick. Unfortunately the IRA blew him up. RIP Polo. Cheers mate. Harera
Beasts. theres a reason around 60% of the british SF are recruited from the paras.
So proud to have served!
Love the content bud keep em coming
4:35 why is he firing on his left eye I have always been told to fire from the right even if your left eyed
Left eyed? Is that a thing?
I have my Parachute Regiment Aptitude Course 2nd March to 4th March.
Good luck bud
@@trixualz219 Hi thanks, but I already passed over a month ago.
@@nosamsemaj9150 champ!!!
Respect
You in battalion yet lad?
"THIS IS YOUR JOB, THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO DO"
"WHO WANTS TO BE A PARATROOPER!?"
The opening 25seconds of this video Runs my adrenaline.
In the process of Signing up as a reservist to get after it in my spare time!
You wont be sorry
The best video I’ve seen on UA-cam so far.
Thank you I appreciate it! :)
READY FOR ANYTHING
this is to show how aggressive and fearless the 16th assault brigade is
I listened to an interview with spud Ely in the Falklands conflict and he jumped into an Argi trench, he couldn't bring his SLR around, so he head butted the Argi to death..
I really want to join the PARAS as an officer. I am 14 right now, and training. Are there absolutely any tips related to the Army or fitness that would help me? Cheers
David Baer Barbell strength training, something like Stronglifts 5x5, lots of long runs and a full contact martial art, I’d suggest Muay Thai as it will give you incredible cardio.
running with weights in a backpack
Never give up mate.
@@sangyedorje3564 I really dont want to sound as a complainer, but I do TaeKwanDo, and everything here is softened up. Would boxing be a better alternative? We haent got Muay Thai here on IOW
@@davidhaggart1779 I have tried that mate, but my dumbells keep hitting me in the back every time I take a step. How could I avoid that?
A nice clip.
Late father was former Airborne man of 1 Para based at Arnhem barracks,Aldershot 1962-1974.
My younger brother served as a Para too with 216 Signals.
Our family is proud of the Airborne colors my late father and brother fought for.
In civvy life people remarked that Dad had this tough streak about him and would be wary of him.He was a great man but get on the wrong side of him........
This clip is a nice tribute to Dad who earned his wings and beret at Aldershot..Arnhem barracks !!!!!!
Thankyou for your SERVICE . GOD BLESS YOU GG
Civilians hate paratroopers until they need someone to save them or the country. Ex SAS/ 2 Para.
They have conquered fear because they have jped from the sky. Everyman an emperor.
I worked with an ex para for 20 years he was a lunatic in the nicest possible way
I have parachute regiment assessment course on March 30th✅
Good luck!
good luck young man , no other brotherhood like THE AIRBORNE BROTHERHOOD
I shall see you there
Please make one on the raf regiment
Wouldn't be a long video....... just them stood on guard at the camp main gate
Para Daz so original you waste man never heard that before
If the raf regiment want to be real soldiers then why dont they join the army?
May aswell just be TA
Yeah he can include thevVids of the blokes shooting up their own body armour too. Oh and when they went outside the camp in Iraq and had to be rescued by Royal Regiment of Wales 😂😂. People that wanna be soldiers but dont actually wanna be in the regular infantry, what's the actual point of em!!!
Yes make a Raf Reg video, entitle it "Harry The Hat"
God gave his arch angels weapons, because when the Almighty knew that you can't fight terrorism with love and kind words.
God aint real
@@jordanhennessey289 shush
The Para's can be proud to say that they can go toe to toe with the RAF Regiment.
😂
Another awesome vid, keep up the good work fella
My son Daniel is currently a Para JOE at Catterick. Great video! #UtrinqueParatus
True heroes, each and every one. My father served in the Para's in WW2.
Murdering bastards in Ireland
You don't want these guys turning up on your door step because that would mean you were having a really bad day.
@TJ Murphy that's your opinion. Not shared by me or lots of other Britons.
Lads layin down some Led down range.. love to see it, hope to be there soon! Stay safe gents
Going to apply to paras at 16, train up and aim for 2nd para, I love what these people do and I want to serve my country. Wish me luck
Any idea that poem or the speaking? What’s it called?
My father is ex 3 Para, 50s/60s ,in his 80's now , still has the same stoic attitude to life and wears his beret with pride on armistice day . 🤘🏻
liked this so much i think i'll watch it again...CAN I GET A REEE-WIND?
J ai été dans les parachutistes fin des années 80,mais j avoues les paras anglais c est les meilleurs. Chez nous en France on développe pas cette agressivité qui fais de toi un guerriers. Je suis resté 2 ans jamais on m'a mis une paire de gants de boxe.
Last combat jump 1956 suez
Volunteers would have had
Some in rhodesia And south
Africa 1960s 70s 80s
I was in the army in 1968. We done 3 x1min rounds of boxing but we had no head gear in basic training. We didn’t know at the time, but it was all about. THAT WORD DISCIPLINE. and believe me it works, GOD BLESS THE BRITISH ARMY 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Passports are part of the kit now for these ceremonial soldiers
Didn't wear head gear when I done my P Company..
@One big eye. One big ear. im sure it was 8 miles and you didn't get to practice the trynasium either..
No safety nets under trainasium either
@One big eye. One big ear. I think you're right im sure it was 8miles for the cross country assault course. I'm trying to remember something i done over 35 years ago the old memories not as good 😂.Cheers fella still brought back some great memories..
Even the fitness tests are different now
i did p coy in 1966 no head gear then .in fact no safety gear anywere.
Do Paras still jump? In terms of both Training and Insertion in hostile places?
Remember arnhem. Paras finest hour. Honour in defeat. Even bittricht, German general praised them in his after battle report.
The Paras rock!!!! 🇬🇧. Love from the USA. 👍
Rite the stretcher last event on p-coy but u gotta remember the day before they just done a 20miler over two mountains
Shout out to my British brothers. AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY!
My son is 3 Para 💪🏻
Got PRAC next month, can't wait
Joshua Turner hill runs and leg days are all you need pal. Watch out for that 4 miler on the land of nod or “big nod” it’ll burn your legs. 1.2 miler is easy. Steeplechase just stay hard and lace your boots tight. Give it a good go mate!
Tbh I'm not worried about fitness, for months I've been training to the old harder standards not realising they changed them, appreciate the advice though bud thank you.
Well I can honestly say that the training has changed since 1980 .I was proud to handle and hold my hard earned cap.... ...sorry beret ......after the training I shows respect and makes you a man 2 para 1980 to 92 and proud of it paras number 1.
Cap?? You earned a Cap??
No Paratrooper would ever call their beret a cap...
And before you start, I'm ex 3 Para.
Quality video, hard as nails and funny too. Bo selecta🤣🤣🤣
our unique anglo blood always shines GB
Does anyone know where you can find the 'men of war' documentary?
In the 70s,the big old 10 mile speed match.
Did you paras then.......wear tin hats and have your SLRs in the patrol position for this?
I'm comparing!!
If yes,that is worthy of some praise.
Bad enough with SLR slung.
I did that once now I'm a little old man shuffling round the shops with me canvas shopping bag and runny nose...... But once upon a time
Marines or paras?
Ben Jones
Why pick one when you can have both?
I was a Royal marine, let's just say if I couldn't find any green lids in the field I'd be with these guys all day long 🤝🇬🇧
Aw mate, we can't answer that. That's like asking to chose between two of your brothers...obviously we know who's at the top though
Respect the marines I’m x para
Both Brilliant
Where do you find the footage shot by the soldiers?? links please my guy?!
The sources are in the description should be all there
The guy firing the GPMG from the shoulder is ex 9 Para Sqn RE
Did you know the para's where not the first regiment to jump out of a plane in battle! The king's own boarder regiment was, during WW2, that's why they have the glider patch on their arm and share the maroon stable belt as the para's.
Kings own border brother not boarder!!!!
