Officer Transferees into the Parachute Regiment
Just a quick question,have had a bit of a look around and couldn't find anything relating to this,the question
is,would Officer Transferees into the Paracute Regiment have to do P coy regardless of rank or is it a question
of only certain ranks of the Officer Corps having to complete it?
My reason for asking is:- H Jones was already a Lt Col when he transferred in from the Devon and Dorsets in 1979,would he or indeed did he undertake and pass P coy? I am pretty sure the collective knowledge from Arrsers will be able to enlighten me,cheers.

To wear the maroon berry you must pass P-coy.

Shame. Calling H Jones a walt. Whether he did P Coy or not (I don't honestly know) he did nothing to shame the Lid.

If you were seconded or transferred in to take up an infantry officer's post in the days when it was 5AB Brigade then you had to take P Coy unless you were a Marine officer there for infantry experience.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

I can't see the Paras allowing anyone, officer or not, to wear the Red Beret if they had not done P Company. A possible exception may be if he has been 22 SAS previously.

In the grand overall scheme of things does it really fucking matter whether he did or not. Two things are for certian, he was the CO and he died.
Now what ever happened afterwards to discuss whether he was a hat etc is really fucking troll like. The man won a VC. do you not think there were people on a higher pay band than you finding this info out to present to the Queen for her authorisation?
More importantly will it change the price of fish?

You really dont have a scooby do you? to further your edumacation anyone attached to 16 AA can wear the maroon beret fat chicks included same same Hereford, the only place where you cant wear the beret just because you are posted is 3 Cdo Bde, there you have to have earned it first Originally Posted by WolvoExPunk
