Hello again...
If anyone could help me out,it would be great.Im really looking forward to joining the army,wether here in Canada or in the UK.What im really after is a pair of wings on my chest.I have a few questions I hope some of you could help me find awnsers to.
First off,I was at the recruiting office a few weeks back and an ex-CAR Sargeant told me if I want to be Airborne,go PPCLI.He didnt explain why,but I also noticed that they were the only ones taking infantry recruits at the time.I told him id wait,I would rather go to RCR.How true is this,and why would it be a better choice to go PPCLI?
How would I go about getting selected for the para course? Ive heard there is a waiting list,and also heard that you just have to show leadership aside from being an overal quality soldier.Wich is most true and is there anything eles I could do or work on?
Ive looked around on the internet and I cant find anything to do with the para course and its physical requirments.Ive been training close to a year now following the UK Paras PT schedual,and im doing ok.Can anyone tell me what is required to get on,and pass this course?
Also,im intrested as to what other skills are taught on the para course other than parachuting,and what I might do to get a headstart on these skills?
Thank you.
