A new Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces Association is being launched on the Isle of Wight this month.
The first meeting will be held at Ryde Castel in Ryde on 23rd February, starting at 19:30.
The group will aim to offer support and comradery to ex-military personnel.
Veteran and group chairman, Mick O’Leary has said:
“As a Veteran myself, I am well aware of the need for Veterans and Comrades to meet with other like-minded people, to build friendships and gain support specifically, in this case, Airborne and Parachute related.”
Unknown why they do not use The Veteran ( Marine ) that is what it is for, I thought !!
Are they not allowed more than 1 place to go?
As a veteran myself I’m fully aware of the lack of support that service leavers receive after leaving the Armed Forces, you should surely embrace this and hope that this additional assistance should be encouraged and supported wholeheartedly.
Because of the hat’s
Welcome back from the wilderness, Mick!!
I tried to join The Paras, but they kept me hanging around!
Fat hat 😉
I think it was a joke Mick, ‘hanging around’ as in, attached to a parachute, never ones for brains the Airborne, thick hat!
