OUTSTANDING!!! Glad that you are proud to have your son become a Paratrooper!!! Not everyone who dreams of being a Paratrooper ever becomes one. Congratulations to your son!!!! Maybe a while ago but he made it to the ranks of men who passed training with many who failed.
My father Robert Edward Burke was an original para first airborne in 1940 and then the regiment in 1942 he served through out WW2 he was at Bruneval he was wounded at Oudna as part of operation Torch in North Africa which are the first and second battle honours of this great regiment he came back for D Day he left after the war and never really spoke about his time until many many years later another ex para who served with my father joined the firm he worked for (Sandy Sandford) he brought him out of his shell and got him to march at the Remembrance Day in Bristol when he died the Parachute Regiment sent pall bearers to carry his coffin with another in front carrying the Standard ps he trained and served under the legendary John Frost good luck young man
Sounds like Nobby I did a six month stind at that time as a full screw. had to do a drill and dutys carda with Nobby it would have been easier being a crow. I was glad to get back to 1Para.
Strange to see no wings on there right arms, “ so what happens if they refuse to jump on their jump’s course, do they still get to stay in the regiment?
@@neilcornes6149 thats quite a lot, from what I've read it seems quite rare for them to refuse to jump since they practised so much that the whole process is pretty repeative
Oh I love the sound of the baby in the background... He or she will be a future Paratrooper... A proud one to be...

The corporal looks as though he is going on a duck shoot! His recruits are fairly good.
The serjeant looks even worse!!!!
Agreed....poor peacetime discipline...

a para who can't jump ain't no para, ofc they can't stay, but quite rare to have one who refuse to jump
@@combataesthetics4177 so no ballooning anymore on the jumps course, 3 guys on my course refused to jump!
@@neilcornes6149 thats quite a lot, from what I've read it seems quite rare for them to refuse to jump since they practised so much that the whole process is pretty repeative
@combataesthetics4177 just found out, there is no ballooning anymore, and with them retiring the C130s, they'll be jumping from?
