7 Parachute Regiment RHA?
I was looking at possible jobs in the artillery and come across 7 parachute regiment, I have always been interested in both artillery and Para's. I am currently 15 and looking to go into harrogate in September, I have passed selection with a high B and have the fitness requirements for Para's but I was wondering whether I could apply for 7 parachute regiment as of now and join or would I need to do say a couple of years as a light Gunner or say AS90? Thanks.

7 RHA are not paratroopers they are an airborne artillery unit equipped with the light gun. If you were posted there and passed p coy and completed your para course you would be a parachutist.
You need to chose mate paras - infantry or artillary RHA or RA.Sandy_The_Guvnor likes this.

Yeah I was Initially going to be para's but my recruiter said the next intake for harrogate is march, so I looked at RA and seen 7 para thing. So if I rang my recruiter up and said I'm looking to do 7 Para RHA would I do P coy after phase 2 at larkhill or?

I'd go Para to be honest, the artillery can be somewhat... how shall I put this... gay?

So do you recommend I wait for march and hope for a place in the para's?
I know i'm thinking ahead but say i get in 7 para RHA after a while could I opt to go full para? as in infantry? my mate's dad who was a recruiter said it will be easier to transfer because they are two different corps (RA & Infantry)

If you want to be at the sharp end there is only one choice here.

Here you go try this :- 7 Parachute Regiment - British Army Website
So stood firm the stout-hearted
Warriors in the war - they did keenly strive
Who with his point first should be able
From fey men to win life.
Warriors with weapons: wrack fell on earth.
They stood steadfast; Brithnoth stirred them,
Bade each of his men intend to the strife
That would from the Danes win glory.
David & Nick, jy is beide 'n paar van die basters

7 RHA is the abbreviated unit title, their proper title is 7 Parachute Regiment, Royal Horse Artillery.Cheers,
