Question, how much para drill do aircrew do now?

In my day practically every other gym session was para rolls. I don't recall any continuation training thereafter. Escape training, dinghy drills and in the V-force annual CS exercise.

Once I joined Sunshine Airways we did an annual swim but no camping and delighting. In Maritime is was too wet and in AEW well . . .

My para skills are very useful in my forage as I convert a fall to a forward left, roll, and get up unhurt.
