Prince Charles was on the Para course before mine in 1979. He completed all 8 jumps IIRC... So, you can't knock him for that. I seem to recall he was made Colonel Commandant or some such of the Parachute Regiment and he was the one that stated that if he was to be such he should at least jump. If true I'll give him credit for that and not complain about him not doing P Coy...
