British Troops
When I was in Baghdad on my last deployment I met about 7 British troops, and they were all very nice guys, and were pretty damn hilarious. The Australian troops I met were cool and funny as well. I also had the pleasure of meeting a few Latvian? troops, at least I think that's where they were from. They were all carrying P-90's and had really strange uniforms. I'm pretty sure back in 2006-2007 we did a joint mission with a few Brits as well. GlassJAw667 17:36, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Paratrooper Training.
I don't know much about the difference between British and American paratroopers, but I know when you graduate Basic Training in America and head to Airborne School you are required to do a lot more physically to pass. There is a different physical that must be completed, and you are required to do a lot more push-ups, hold your own body weight on a bar for several seconds, and run 5+ miles without stopping. When I went we still had black boots that you needed to polish, and if you came to first formation after Physical Training with dirty boots they would kick you out. In fact, in America they usually over-book the classes and will kick you out for stupid reasons. As far as the mindset and standards go in Airborne Unit it is a lot more strict that your average Unit here in America. For instance, your uniform must be proper at all times, your bearing and physical fitness must be excellent at all times. They preach high standards and talk about how paratroopers paved the way for the regular Army Units throughout history.

Basically as I understand it from friends who have left Fort Bragg, or the 82d in general, to go to a non-Airborne Unit, it is a lot more relaxed and strict than here. Also both of my deployments my Brigade was considered an attachment, and we were attached to the 25th ID and 101st respectively. Their names were on the FOBs, but we handled the entire AO's and combat missions, they were mostly support.

So bottom line, Paratrooper Units consider themselves elite among the regular Army, second only to Rangers and Special Forces, but in general exercise greater uniform and bearingsttandards than anyone else. (This is what is believed here, not my personal opinions) GlassJAw667 21:48, August 7, 2011 (UTC)
