US Marine Reacts to the Paras "P Company" 

Enit and the pe teachers standing there in a big fluffy coat saying it's not cold 😂😂

From the Falklands mate, don’t feel cold 😂

hahah so true. My school made you play rugby in just socks in the snow if someone else in your class forgot their rubgy boots. Also anyone found wearing underwear underneath their sports shorts was thrown into the nearest muddy puddle of water!

fuck right! PE in the snow lol

Yeah that and the D of E 55 miles over 3 days when you're broke as a joke as kid and doing it £20 trainers lol

This guy gets it and kudos for him for taking an objective view of his Brothers from our little Island.

Cheers, glad I can keep it real for you all

@@CombatArmsChannel loved the video mate but there was a lot that you didn't really portray what actually happens for future vids you could try to talk to those who are actually serving with who ever your doing a video on

@@CombatArmsChannel would you say this training equivalent to SEALS & Rangers instead of USMC & 82nd, some of our marines & paras would say so but I thought they were just boasting,

@@JordanCarr44 I once met a bootneck Commachio with an American accent, turned out he quit USMC in training then joined royal from scratch even he said it was more like special forces. Arent they wasted as conventional forces?

I respect and I’m very grateful for your service

Thank you for your service Sir.

🆎

Cheers 👍

And a credit to the American flag.

Thanks for your support! Always a pleasure to deal with my brothers from across the pond

A bastard fucking rivalry I've heard it called haha

Ikr

For real 😂

Sure

He talks tooooooooo much

This stuff can't be that difficult to achieve. That assault course looks easy,actually.

Ever work a full-time job on a farm when you were 9 or 10 years old?

I would take the log over the stretcher any day of the week.

That thing was a total bastard ... 23 years later and I still hate it ... good point he made on the event being a “short temper” identifier

Alright mate, we’ve all done stuff!

Respect

Zarate102 yeah that’s what I was thinking

I appreciate that

What about the Guards? It's not all red coats and furry hats. Guards training is nuts. I'm ex Guards Para so got experience of both.

The shot 1 Para 1984-1990.

Long valley now there's a memory. Rushmoor 😁

@Larry O'Connor 🤣🇬🇧

I expect most of your training staff were hard as nails WWII veterans?

Facts

MattyR 1 hideous crate for the bloke who suggests that

Matt are you still serving mate.

Cheers brother

I have to ask because I was watching a bunch of things in the PARAS and the staff affording to an ex Para filled their heads with distain for the rest of the military and the civilian population is this true?

I did All Arms P Company back in the 70s. It was a two week stint back then, but the second week ( Selection Week ) was pretty much the same as in the video, except that the Stretcher Race was in Wales and was immediately followed by a run up Pen y Fan, overnight bivouac, then a run down the mountain the next morning to the waiting trucks, urns of tea, and ENDEX. Never been so relieved in all my born days.

@@samuel10125 no can't say that is true we had a good working relationship with other services groups but there's always a healthy we are better than you that's just the military way

@@kenUK762 happy days

@@pastorflaps6819 because I was watching a video done by a guy who was an ex PARA who served in Iraq and according him they were conditioned to hate the other branches of the military nicknaming them crap hats and to kinda hate civilians because they didn't have the balls to join then infact in a recent show a recruit couldn't hack it and requested to be transferred to one of the rifle's regiments and they physically laughed in his face Infront of the other recruit on staff actually called the PARAs a cultbi really don't want to think this is the mindset of one of our regiments.

Lol True.

😂🤣

I am from round the corner from Aldershot, When the paras were in town no one misbehaved ish, they run the streets. Atleast Aldershot is coming back from the brink.

Even in the Rat pit.... 🤣

🤣🤣🤣

Certainly an admirable feat. Cheers and thanks for serving

How many did you lose to broken ankles? I heard that the ground was evil, big tussocks of ground with ankle busting cracks in between.

@@SvenTviking no breaks as i remember but a few sprains, and yes it was very poor and rough terrain but the worst was the wind it blew straight through you

Thank you 🇬🇧👊🏼

@@alanlawz respect mate we reenacted the battle of goose green on exercise in the Falklands in 2008 went to a few old positions and flew over some argy planes still sticking out the ground when we was in chinooks

Cheers brother

Ex sapper respect to 9 sqn. Unique!

At 47 but fit as a fiddle I'd love to have a go at P company. At this age you could probably get through it but will spend a month recovering!!!!

Thank you for that. And thanks for serving 💪

Blokes and women. Just saying

Basically .... you're a massive pest 😂😂

REspect !

@Horacio Nelson nice one mate. those career paths will be open to you in time.

Horacio Nelson Hi H/N Did my training for the RE in Farnborough Hampshire. Believe they built new training barracks near Camberely in the 80,s Vived memories of training, we started with 114, and passed out with 19. So at the time the RE course was reasonable tough. Anyway best of luck. In my 60,s now but they were the best times of my life. Good luck.

Thankyou for your service, put ur feet up and enjoy, 100% respect

Cheers dude, glad you enjoyed

Yeah you are right there - but this guy wasnt even born then -so I think we can cut the lad a bit of slack. I think he showed genuine respect for the British army & the Paras in particular

The tv show the paras was aired while the war was ongoing in 82 well worth a watch as well as task force south was good too

The Royal Marines brought the 30 mile 'yomp' back from the Falklands and introduced it as the final test before they got their beret in basic training.

Cheers brother

this is it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x6qHcd4imKk.html

Mgkernowek wow....balls of steel!

dustisdeadbodies85 Humbling....

Paras would of strapped the helicopter to them and flown it to save their brother🤣

Derek Young from what I have seen once you become civilians you become the best of friends. I recruit ex military for a day job when we have paras and marines on out internships they always seem to stick together.

@Chris Collins Commando raiders

All being said both paras and royals have each other's back when it counts . Utirnque Paratus

Quint Essential us not US!

7 para?

Cheers brother! Thanks for watching

I really appreciate the kind words, brother. I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe 👍

Did you go through interro? My old man was 2 para and he had a week interrogation

@@Sorbzski99 I think he's talking about getting drunk down the 'Shot and what happens when you get nicked. ;-) That or he's been talking to "Fat Dave" down the pub who was in 22 regiment WaltenKommando after going down south with 13 PARA.

@@simonsignolet5632 Nah... Daniel has a point - just didn't come over properly. I remember an exercise in I think 1968-ish - it was called Escape and Evasion - due to bad weather we simulated a drop and were taken in sealed vehicles (we didn't know where we were going). Dropped off on some desolate landscape and told to make the best of it. They took our berets and belts (for what reason I've never been able to fathom). It lasted about three days - I was lucky - I didn't get caught - but some of the guys did. We had to evade the local police, Royal Military Police, SIB, and some other infantry regiment - they were all out looking for us. It was also an exerecise for them - to catch and interrogate us! Our group of three were extremely lucky - we found a telephone box - I know - in the middle of nowhere! We were able to figure out where we were by consulting the phone directory. I'll never forget the harrowing accounts from the guys who were caught. Stripped naked, sand bag over their heads, continually dowsed with cold water - forced to kneel in mud (this was at night in the middle of winter) and forced to listen to the drone of a Jewish funeral dirge which played over and over again. Periodicall they were taken into a nice warm large tent (still blind-folded) - where the interrogators tried their hardest to make them crack and reveal what they wanted to know. They even went to the lengths of employing female Military nurses to laugh and insult them while they stood blind-folded and naked in front of all. I remember the debrief afterwards - and the lessons learned - never to waffle, keep mum for as long as you can as it was recognised that any info that an enemy interrogator managed to glean from you would be useless if it was more than two hours old. I wonder if this has any bearing on what Daniel was on about? (Ex 2Para D Coy).

Haha cheers

The most successful applicants for the SAS are Royal Marines and Paras.

Alastair Archibald Royal Marines usually go SBS

TheHypernaught I thought Paras were the Maroon Machine?

Yeah but unlike PARAs the Royal Marines don't have a toxic ego against the rest of the military and civilians.

From what I heard he respects the training we go through which is really good to hear as an ex p company soldier I passed this course in 2007 and I still have nightmares lol

The UK could have numbers if there was not so much money spent on the welfare state. The media and politicians care more about the welfare state than they do the protection of the state. The UK used to be able to produce cutting edge aircraft and naval ships now it is reduced to nothing at the expense of a 400 billion welfare state that promotes fatherless families. This is all going in one direction. Even the spartans of the British defence forces are being cut back in numbers and in the next generation they will not exist at all.

Mike George all infantry training is brutal but the paras more so, I did my training at Pirbright with the Scots Guards and some of the pti, s were paras and we did the para humps and trainasium. But the difference being we had shit loads of bullshit drill and constant inspections which fucked a lot of lads off. Big respect to the paras though because its tough and p company was something else.

That's a brilliant series of videos.

The cadre does not exist now.the ml2 course is generally regarded as the toughest training course for the british armed forces. They then go on to become mountain leaders or serve in a brigade reconnaissance unit potentially within 30 commandos s r s.

Good call, it's a very old series made in the late 80s I think but then again so was the original series about the Parachute Regiment.

@@guywilloughby3383 yes many units re organize and change names for security and to confuse potential belligerents.

A good series, the follow up was good as well.

Big Phil good luck, I never got the chance to try. I let my chain of command know I was interested in the all arms commando course started the paperwork etc in Afghanistan in 09, a week later and two days away from taking over as second in command of my EOD team and getting promoted I got blown up. I too often saw people get to the end of their 22 and complain that they never gave it ago.

@@mweston25 cheers pal. Sorry to hear that mate 😔

You're be alright. just do as much preparation as you can before you attempt and do your research, know what you are getting into. remember the 5 P's.

@@MrLeighman yeah I know them mate and thanks for the encouragement. Even pushed myself to get out running in this weather. It's not till September so I've no excuses 👍🏻

Hi Phil. Keep your eye on the prize. Those wings open doors & not only in the UK. I had the pleasure once, during what they called a transition, of drinking in a shebeen with Soviet, Cuban,Angolan Rhodesian, Brit and South Africans troops. Common denominator? We all wore wings except the two guys in civies. The dark glasses gave them away. Best of luck mate.

Well shucks haha

Good luck dude 👏🏽

How's it going?
