As an ex Buckshee tom in the Reg, I’ve waited for this day.
Assuming I’d be at war with a generic MOD statement and arguing the case against women serving in the parachute regiment after they’ve just given someone a paper pass.
After speaking to various people on the course, all I can say is congratulations to Captain Wild on being the first female to pass All Arms P Company. Turns out she was an absolute machine and fully deserved the pass.
Key takeaways for me are:
- Carried her team on the stretcher
- Floored her male counterpart in Milling
So while Captain Wild has blazed a trail, in the interest of complete equality – let’s not forget she’s just another Rupert Craphat.
