"People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." George Orwell.

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.

My boys a lance corporal in 2 para, serving somewhere far away from these shores , see you in may Coops 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

2 Para 71-78. I'm 67 years old now and still miss it so bad.....

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.

From this Prior Service USMC and US Army Veteran ( Airborne and Air Assault Qualified, Ranger Trained), and US Citizen of Puerto Rican descent, I Honor, Love and Respect My British Badass Battlefield Brothers and Sisters in The United Kingdom Armed Forces, especially, The Special Operations Forces ( Royal Marines Commando, Special Air Service Regiment, Special Boat Service, Special Reconnaissance, Pathfinder Regiment, and Paras).

Salute to my airborne brothers from a former Canadian Airborne Regiment soldier. “Ex Coelis”

My father in law passed away 6 years ago and was in the paras....miss that man so much ......RIP Ron always in our thoughts.

Finest fighting Unit in the World. Proven time and again. By their actions and by their standards.

Best airborne infantry in the world. 🙏

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.

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🙏🏻

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.

Greetings from an argentine paratrooper, our best enemies🇦🇷🇬🇧

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.

'Are you gonna let that happen?' No Corporal! 'ARE YOU GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN?' NO CORPORAL That bit got me hyped up

I can honestly say, if I could have my time again, I would be a Para. Respect!

Passed selection with a 7.40 min runtime. Off to Harrogate in September to train as a paratrooper!

Every day is poppy day, thank you for your service from the whole nation you are the tip of the spear Love from Great Britain 🇬🇧

Rather die on my feet than live on my knees

From a former member of 2 para, we'll done class video

A big thanks to the work these boys do...there still is a lot of Great in Britain 🇬🇧

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 💪🏻

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..

Served 18 years in 2 para … loved it. I transferred from the Welsh guards … Para Regt is a totally different world.

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.

Magic video, so well assembled. Utrinque Paratus. 👏👏 loved the last bit after the credits 😁😁

Great video! Congratulations for all paras!

Thankyou for your SERVICE . GOD BLESS YOU GG

The Paras are immense - always have been always will be.

Love the content bud keep em coming

For those that don't know the milling (boxing) has rules that state the troops cannot defend

Like all our lads absolute legends but these boys are just natural born nutters. Absolute respect to each and everyone of you lot. ❤️

0:60, fob arnhem Afghanistan, op herrick 7 veteran here! September 2007 to February 2008

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.

"Utrinque Paratus" is the motto of The Parachute Regiment and means "Ready for anything".

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!

Imagine how bitter you’d have to be to dislike this haha

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.

Well I can honestly say that the training has changed since 1980 .I was proud to handle and hold my hard earned cap after the training I shows respect and makes you a man 2 para 1980 to 92 and proud of it paras number 1.

Lads layin down some Led down range.. love to see it, hope to be there soon! Stay safe gents

When evil strives to overcome good and firepower is greater than the spoken word, death rides a winged horse.

Airborne, "everyman an emperor"

All paras are nutters. I was the only sane person to serve in the regiment.

My son Daniel is currently a Para JOE at Catterick. Great video! #UtrinqueParatus

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.

Quality video, hard as nails and funny too. Bo selecta🤣🤣🤣

Great video to stumble across, especially as I’m in it 👍🏼

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.

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

When there is evil to fight , thank god we have men , like these to fight .

this is to show how aggressive and fearless the 16th assault brigade is

God protect you guys peace in the all world Peace and love sending peace

I’m from was in 2 para and you guys always do a great job thanks for showing what we do and what sets up apart

liked this so much i think i'll watch it again...CAN I GET A REEE-WIND?

Great video from a serving paratrooper

Another awesome vid, keep up the good work fella

The very first jump is terrifying but magnificent.

Brilliant job yet again

Man will be man❤️❤️🔥🔥

Good skills. Carry on........

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.

They have conquered fear because they have jped from the sky. Everyman an emperor.

Remember arnhem. Paras finest hour. Honour in defeat. Even bittricht, German general praised them in his after battle report.

"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!

Seus vídeos são excelentes 👏🗡️

The best video I’ve seen on KZfaq so far.

I worked with an ex para for 20 years he was a lunatic in the nicest possible way

I have my Parachute Regiment Aptitude Course 2nd March to 4th March.

The Para's can be proud to say that they can go toe to toe with the RAF Regiment.

Great video👍 just trying to pick out my son!!!!!

Clever young men…

To Be the Best. When you are the Best!!

True heroes, each and every one. My father served in the Para's in WW2.

Holy shite. That was intense. Good job lad.

Rite the stretcher last event on p-coy but u gotta remember the day before they just done a 20miler over two mountains

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 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Up most respect for these gentlemen 🇬🇧

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 . 🤘🏻

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.

We are fortunate to have those who are willing to accept this heavy burden!

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..

Absolutely beautiful mate EVERY MAN AN EMPEROR

Legends

Utrinque Paratus!

Got PRAC next month, can't wait

Nice video mate. 👍

I have parachute regiment assessment course on March 30th✅

When I went through we didn't have all that kill kill kill rubbish, we had Falklands veterans who would have wore your balls for necklaces with all that stuff. And the balloon jump, god awful with the silence

i love the first 5 min of this its amazing

Passports are part of the kit now for these ceremonial soldiers

3:19 so anyway, i started blasting

our unique anglo blood always shines GB

Shout out to my British brothers. AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY!

I feel so lucky that my cadet unit has the para'c cap badge

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

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 !!!!!!

Hard boys .....simple as....

This kind of a life looks scary😱
