    I did my P company in 1984 whist serving in 5 airborne brigade at Arnhem barracks in Aldershot. I found the mental stamina required was a greater challenge than the physical side of it. I was 18 and indestructible with a massive dose of stupid which helped. I found the experience served me well in later life. I refuse to give up now at anything. Milling was the worst part, I got a lucky strike in very early which put my opponent down so they kept me in one more bout against a gorilla. He beat me so hard that I went to the toilet afterwards and puked my ring up. Happy days.

    The idea of the trainasium is actually more to test their ability to obey a command without hesitation. If you hesitate when jumping out of a plane you could fuck everything up for everyone and miss the drop zone. It's less about simulating the jump and more about simulating that immediate reaction to an order whether you're scared or not

  • @Allthedifferentcheeses
    @Allthedifferentcheeses 4 года назад +14

    There's one part of the trainasium known as the illusion jump. It's a platform where you do a standing jump at the word of command to another platform.
    From the starting platform there doesn't seem any way you could ever make it to the other side. In fact, and although it doesn't seem like it, the second platform is lower than the first and the forward motion combined with the descent is actually more than enough to get you across.
    I'm mentioning this because how I felt standing on the first platform waiting for a command to do something that my brain was screaming couldn't be done was exactly how I felt standing in the door on my first parachute jump (surname starting with A meant I was first out the door, welcome to the army). Jumped both times.

      When you do your CIC (Combined Infantry Course) and P Company test week you’re called JOE which stand for “joined on enlistment” until you pass and go to RAF Brize Norton for basic parachute course where you’re all then called Tom. “Cap hat” is what we call any soldier who isn’t a Para or SF. I also think the bootnecks (Royal Marines) call them crap hat hats as well. It’s to do with the fact Paras wear the maroon beret whereas the other wear that shite standard one. The Paras, bootnecks and military police or “monkeys” as we call them wear different colour berets to the crap hats.

    I did P Coy in the early 2000s. It was an unofficial expectation to have your wings up before doing a certain role I had applied for at the time. I was the oldest on the course by a good 5 years. It is difficult but achievable with training and attitude. The hardest part for me was starting each test each morning because I was still sore from the day before. However I was a fairly fit lad and once I got going it was just about sucking it up. A little bit of pain never hurt anybody.

    You are always bashing the Royal Marine Commandos, I feel you really need to do more research before you criticise. You do realise that the 32 week Commando training is the longest and most difficult "basic" infantry training in the WORLD?! Furthermore, our elite regiments such as P company and the Commandos are the oldest and most finely tuned, you yanks learnt from these guys 80 years ago... they were the first shock trooper regiments to ever exsist.

      @@JamesonsTravels I agree, and I'm a serving Royal Marine! Joke's aside that show you watched was created specifically with the approval of the Royal Marines to attract potential recruits that would have been too intimidated by our previous advertising tag line of "99.9% need not apply". The classic 'throw shit at a wall and see what sticks' method. That show does not reflect the average recruit or the 'darker' parts of training (the parts you would enjoy). Check out Commando On The Front Line by Chris Terrell for a more accurate depiction.

  • @nacholibre1962
    @nacholibre1962 3 года назад +1

    3:05 Not sure where you got the idea that the trainasium is supposed to simulate jumping out of a plane. I can't tell if the Brit narator said that because of your shitty, jumpy video quality (you should have re-recorded it - preparation and planning!). I can tell you the trainasium is NOT to simulate jumping, but is to test the resolve, courage (incl. a head for heights), and to weed out the wheat from the chaff before they get into a plane. If you don't have the guts and determination to pass this stage, you may be a liability in the plane and/or after you hit the ground. This test is entirely valid. And it's not just about being able to deal with heights; it's about overall general courage and determination.

That translates into a lot of areas in life where you hate it and you're miserable but you do it anyway.

    Also worth noting, this is to prove you react on command and will exit the plane on the Green light. If you don't jump, it's a court martial, jail time and quick exit our the regiment (after jail time). This is your job as a para and there is no point in spending the money to train someone up and get them to that jump, to find they don't have the mettle for the job.

  • @danwheatley6825
    @danwheatley6825 2 года назад

    The trainasium is only partly testing the ability to jump out of a plane. Paras when jumping in are surrounded 360⁰ by enemy as they are behind enemy lines. When under fire you are going against every nerve and particle of brain matter screaming DO NOT RUN. This is testing your ability to deny your fear and do it anyway as that literally wins battles.

  • @afroliciouspresents3603
    @afroliciouspresents3603 2 года назад

    As has been said, the trainasium isn't to do with jumping from a plane. It is a test of the size of your bollocks and the ability to overcome fear immediately, at command.
    It's not about fear. Anyone with half a brain would be concerned about tiptoeing up there. It is entirely about obeying orders without hesitation, along with other aspects of para training. Especially milling.
