Oh dear. Anyone spot the problem...

It's 5% of 1500 (total number of para's), so yes, I'd say your maths skills are crap.
My point being that we only have 80 competent parachutists from a parachute regiment. :lol:
With all the military cuts and the stupidity of the British Government I am surprised the para's are issued parachutes. Spread your arms and legs out old chap and glide down.:sarc:
because now all I see is you claiming that paras are competent.
:-?
:twisted:
I think they're more cheesed off, with the cutting of Para pay.
They'll have to be renamed, they are no longer a Parachute Regiment, Parachute Platoon doesn't have the same ring to it!!! In fact Para Provost (Airborne RMP) will have larger numbers at this rate!!!
They will just be called" The Regiment"
OK then, how about The Splatt Regiment.
The noise they would make, hitting the ground without a parachute !.
