PARA Platoon Returns For A Final Episode
PARA Platoon: Earning the Maroon Beret returns to our screens tonight at 9.30pm for its latest installment.
Forces TV has been following the recruits from day one.
Now they're about to embark on the final test to earn their coveted wings - by jumping for real.
If you can't wait until 9.30, don't worry! We're showing the previous episode at 9pm to get you back in the swing of things....
Having completed Parachute Regiment infantry training, the men of Athens Platoon are posted to 2nd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment, in Colchester, which is about to become the spearhead unit of the Army's Airborne Task Force.
The battalion could have to jump into battle, so the men must first pass the Basic Parachute Course at No. 1 Parachute Training School at RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire.
If they earn their coveted 'wings' badge, they could be deployed to any danger zone in the world at any moment.
Only on Forces TV: Sky Channel 264, Virgin 277 or Freesat 652
