With all this equality going on and women taking on more and more roles, how long do you think it'll be before they allow men to join the RAF Regiment?

Brilliant!

Have a hat-rick

Too difficult to type the word Company ?

Uses up too much of your crayon.

I'm guessing it's a 'belonging' or 'insider' thing.

I did P Coy years ago and fk me it was painful.

I wonder how the milling went, the poor sod who got her lost if he lost and lost if he won.

Bootnecks way ahead of the Paras, as usual

Easier course is why.

I bet that stretcher hurt like a bd.


We were down to 2 on mine at just over halfway, me at 5' 9" and a dark green lad at 6' 2". The DS staff stepped in and all were over 6 foot. It bounced like fk and my ears were almost hanging off (probably).

Fair play to her - I bet she won the milling

Some knobhead on another forum was claiming she'd struggle to do the jumps course. Mate, if you can get through P Coy, then pissing about over Weston and surviving a night in Carterton is piss easy.

Quite right. Getting chucked out of an Albert is the easy bit ( do they still use Hercs?)

Except for getting drowned in the sheep dip, but other than that, it’s relatively easier.

Would they even let a woman mill with a bloke? I hope they did.

I know two people who’ve done both and they say the All Arms Commando Course is harder. You carry more weight further and at a slower pace. And you’re not underneath a duvet every night either.

Honestly that’s just rude and a great example of why women feel undermined so often. She’s done a brilliant job, first to pass since being able to in the 90’s(!!!), achieved captain, in a male dominated environment - well done to her.

[red_slr]

Good for her that's a big achievement, from what I read she is basically a professional athlete so has a lot of experience with endurance.

That's why so many people fail the USAF PJ selection because so much of it is in the pool and there is almost no way to train for it you can either take it or you cant your actual physical fitness is not as critical. I believe its not uncommon to have pass rates of 0% mostly due to psychological rather than physical problems. Indoc is another 8 weeks, and again its happened where no one has passed. That's just to get into training (2 years more!).

I read that as a comment regarding more women passing the Marine course from as far back as 2002 and this is the first for the Paras.

Yup.

When I did P Coy the longest event was 10 miles, but it was done at pace. So short and sharp. I believe the Marines have longer strolls, but go slower, and have some naked mat rolling event.

Pretty good making Captain in 3 years.

Everyone does, unless you've seriously ballsed up.

If you're a good runner P Coy is pretty easy. That's coming from me who never did it but was repeated by a lot of my friends who did.

Sword of honour is not to be sniffed at though.

C130-j's now, uprated from the C130K, fancy avionics, uprated engines, 6 bladed props, extended services for a good few more years yet

I guess they would have matched her up with someone close to her weight.
