How do the recruit courses for elite British infantry compare between say 1980 and today?
What is easier, what harder (if anything)?
fitness, shooting skills, general toughening, etc...
What has changed and why?
Mainly interested in hearing from long service types who can actually compare.
Please note this is not a comparison between the RM and the Paras, since both will always get the job done, I'm more interested in how recruit training has changed, or not.
