Tyre valve

this tyre valve about the non para para reg comes round every year. Time the wheel fell off.

Not wishing to take anything away from these quys but would they ever go to war on a LLP? Overhead assault strung out over long DZs

Attended some very interesting meetings in main building on the topic over the years heard many arguments from various Colonels and Brigadiers about not being able to recruit soldires to the reg or not being able to feed pfp or SF. Sat on a number of MJPs where not one SAG scenario would be satisfied by para using LLP.

Go streight to AFF somewhere warm (San Diego probably).

For the uninitiated there really is a big difference between military and civie jumping.

Great savings to be had if the Military Task was restricted to fewer numbers. we would not need 3 PJIs for every trooper. or better still give the PJIs a gun. (probably not a good idea as Top bunk tester may shoot the wg cdr)
