Evening gents,
Please excuse the slightly cheeky thread title. I know its been asked on other forums and someone wondering the same may find this later via a search.
Coming from the RM forum there seems to be a bit of a strained relationship between the RMR and the regs. The RMR seem to really align their training as close to regular as possible with the same exercises and exact same commando course. What is the reputation and relationship like between 4 para and the regs?
From my limited conversations with a few reg lads the majority seems to be "you'll be respected if you can do your job well, or are ex-regular", but have had the odd very negative opinion, even "dont bother".
I don't want to start a potentially negative thread, just would like to hear some opinions. It seems the subject of reserves divides opinion, regardless of capbadge.
