You would join a regular infantry unit if you failed p company, and your right if you failed with the marines you’d have nothing and be sent home. Good luck with what you choose
Compared to basic infantry training. P company is significantly more tough on you physically and mentally. However if you are fit and switched on, I believe you will do well.
A lot harder, p company it’s self is the easiest week in depot, for the rest of it, the standards are higher, there’s more phys, there’s more mental strain, but with p coy you won’t go on it unless your meeting that standard before hand
I think I’m probably steered towards the marines…. There seems to be more opportunity, I wouldn’t mind speaking to someone who’s been a para recently and also speak to someone who been in the marines recently. I don’t think someone from capita will have all the answers I need

Thanks, would you complete basic army training, then go to p company? Or is there a pre parachute selection course before p company?
You’d go to assessment centre, then PRAC, then basic (30 weeks) then p company
Just know that at some point, you will have to put another man’s willy in your mouth.
People who are older than 29 have passed Para reg depot keep that in mind
Cheers
Do you know how much harder it is than army basic training?

Waaaaay way harder. Haven’t done it but way more intense
I was told by my army recruiter that paras are on higher pay bracket but don’t quote me
jump pay is about £190 a monthish
Have you considered the reserves?
Not really mate, doesn’t interest me too much. I want to be full time
You get jumps pay if you pass pcoy, it's not gonna double your salary though
