[lewis_2para_]

http://members.tripod.com/~audgen/images/troopc.JPGwhat r the royal marine battle honors i no the paras

[pathfinder82]

I dont know a whole hell of alot about the RM's, but paratroopers in general have it harder I would say. I think history would support that argument. Just the nature of the job really.

[DnA]

Royal Marines an Para's are both tough/hardcore an motivated groups.

Gonna be a lot of Bias in here, all Para's will say they are tougher an RM Commando's will say they are tougher.


An lot's of comments like this
"God was a para................

he failed the commando course"

[Natemo]

I dont think you can say one is more then the other using history since the kind of people back then are not in it now. If your asking who is harder now.

[lewis_2para_]

the rmc have been round longer than the paras but the time the paras have been round they have proven to be equal to the marines but the paras are still better

AIRBORNE

[Bullet Donor]

It would be hard to distinguish who would come out on top when it came to doing business. Two different mantalities. I would say Royals are "Lets do the job right" (serious face) where paras are more "Lets get it done" (get'r done & have some fun face) The only way to solve it would be to take the hardest para guy and the hardest royal and put them in the pit to squash it out. Good luck Royal.

[lewis_2para_]

how dare you, do you no how many victoria crosses the paras have got
the paras are the elite of the army
the rmc are the elite of the navy

[AIRBORNEJOCK]

how many chicks have passed pre para selection= none passed commando coarse 1 should now be known as the shemandos!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[California Joe]

As far as I know you have been having a bit of trouble explaining where exactly your supposed battalion is residing these days, mate. You sure you want to start a bunch of sh*te here? :) And I think anyone other than "para" or "Royal" should probably refrain from running their mouths tooooooooooo much. The gentlemen previously mentioned probably have more class and are too old to get involved in a retarded **** measuring contest like our noob friend here.

[Yimmy]

:roll:

Para's are best at mass air-assaults.
Marines are best at amphibious landings.

They're both s*** at playing with heavy armour.

:cantbeli:

[lewis_2para_]

thats because they dont play with heavy armour
its all about land rovers wmiks and supa cats
not f****** tanks

[Yimmy]

:cantbeli:

My point is, they are the best at their individual niche missions.

[JTAR7242]

Well, I'd take the Marines. Just because they are, well, Marines. ;)

[moughoun]

how dare you, do you no how many victoria crosses the paras have got
the paras are the elite of the army
the rmc are the elite of the navy
I think it's 4-5, could be wrong though, the RM's have 10

[Alphonse]

Well, I'd take the Marines. Just because they are, well, Marines. ;)
yea right..

[lewis_2para_]

i agree never liked tanks or armored fighting vehicles anyway

Good Lord.What a bunch of ignorant kids are on this forum.Who the f... cares ,whether the Paras or the Royal marines are tougher or not.Both units are good at their designated jobs and both of their training is demanding.Their is no way to ever find out,since both units are considered britains elite.I had the opportunity to work with both units in Cyprus and i came to respect them,equally, for what they are and what they do.

Since we are all up.. maybe a little review of the forum rules would be in order.

We don't look kindly on people who lead us to believe they are something or someone they are not. Us Yanks use words like "poser" while the Squaddies like to use "Walt" to describe those whose credibility is in question. Regardless, we Mods enjoy sniffing those "walts" out. The stench in this thread is pretty suspect. If the shoe stinks.. consider this a warning.

its still in debate wether the capbadge is going to change or not,but i do know one thing marines are going to have to go to brecon to do juniors and seniors from now on as they did not cut the mustard on the last live firing package.
there policy of up and at em-did not impress any one including the director of sf (who is a marine) who when it finished made all the ncos and officers walk behind b coys attack.
thats not me being bias thats gen its a bad day when the raf regiment showed them up.

Do the Paras and Royal Marines ever get together for "friendly" interservice footy matches?

If so, wouldn't that answer the question as to who's "best"? ;)

Well, it's taken one of the most ridiculous threads in ages to "out" another Walt who happened to be one of our most stupid members in ages - shame he set up his own downfall (not). So stupid in fact he didn't even know what a Walt is!

dont worry none taken all in good fun

[DeltaWhisky58]

yes i know but what with me being VERY sad i find it funny in the pursuit of fairness if i can find one about the RM's then i'll post it hope no offence was caused

The point I made was that it took a sad little fool like Lewis-flying-donkey-fart to start a thread like this in the first place. This sort of thread or things like "who would win in a Canada Vs. Uzbekistan war" are so damned stupid and have no place on this forum and will be closed/deleted if I find them.

Both The Royal Marines and The Parachute Regiment are amongst the finest troops in the world today, and arguing their relative merits is hardly fair or constructive, especially as they are hardly likely to be on opposing sides except on a Saturday night should they just happen to end up off duty in the same neck of the woods. If this were the case, chances are the odds will be pretty well evens depending on numbers and it could go either way. ;-)

you look like your enjoying that patrol far to much (profile pic)

trust me i wasnt enjoying the patrol that much it was just an act honest.

And i ain't no jock guard neither,wrong Bks(and as for battle honours weve got 2 brit awards on our standards,where beautiful where beautiful its true)

I was thinking Johny G,but he'd just rob all the kit that fell of the para/marine ruck
and huddle around an old copy of the sun in groups of 12

[Para]

Both courses are very demanding, but many marines go to get their wings as well.

[johno]

do marines get the arduous courses pay?

[Yimmy]

Slightly off-topic, but what units are eligable for the All Arms Commando Course, and what does the course consist of?

I gather before anyone could put their name down for it and give it a go, but now they have it open only to those units who directly support the RM's, like army commando pet-ops and the likes?

I train almost daily with huge weights. I pack about 50kilograms into my rucksack and do a death march across uneven terrain. I would also like to point out that 1mile is not 10kilometers.

BTW, I use my ****ty school rucksack to carry this load in and it has not padding and has a small surface area and digs into your shoulders.

no there will still be the commando brigade,but there is a new joint special forces support group the bilk being made up from 1 para a company of baked beans (marines) and also some raf regiment characters.

they dont need to do pre para selection to get there wings though,and recently its only there brigade recce unit (like our pathfinders) that have been getting to brize,no doubt some form of cash saving nonsense.

[welshmann]

about women in the royals,the band got to do the commando course?rember watching royal ed tattoo and there was a few girls in the band(1 did a solo singing act)...i had to do my phase 1 & 2 in the same places as the paras and what a nightmare that was.when a para platoon passed us we all had to turn around cause we were not worthy of looking at them and all that bollox.
to me as a ex hat it seems the royals got more brains and much better in the type of deployment roles they can undertake...but like some1 said we all on the same side at the end of the day.

[Royal]

No the band service are the only part of the Corps that doesn't do the course (although they can and a few do) - same as the Para reg band don't do P Coy (last time I saw them they only had one guy with his wings up).

@ Pindeho.
To answer your question about what unit i am in.I am currently serving with the Austrian Jagdkommando and i was working with 2 Para and and 45 Marine Commando in Cyprus ,whilst being attached to MP-Security platoon at Unficyp,within the UNPA and later being attached to UNPA-HQ-QRF in Nicosia,which was and still is a muli-international element within the UN,commandeered by a Brit.
I hope, that satisfies your curiosity.

[Pindeho]

Hey, I didn't doubt. Sounds good.:)

[25 SQN]

RM's and Para's are both tough mothers and a lot of RM's are para qualified. They are skilled in the roles that they do and having worked with elements from both would say they are equally tough.

End this thread, its a pointless arguement.

[ratsappretnice]

Just come back from longmoor, and the camp sgt. maj, had done the commando course and p coy, he says that the commando course is more difficult than p coy

Just come back from longmoor, and the camp sgt. maj, had done the commando course and p coy, he says that the commando course is more difficult than p coy

P COY is just a selection phase, wright? Commando course is something quite different thing, so wow can you say that the RMC are harder than the Paras?
