1 Parachute Battalion - PT Training
|
Parachute PT training was particularly harsh and was certainly not for pussies. These units set the standard and after such rigorous training the men were incredibly fit. These pictures below, specifically for 1 Parachute Battalion, was the standard of harsh PT and was pretty much consistent across the other parachute battalions. It is a good reflection of what these manne had to endure in this heavy duty training. Truly men amongst men after successful completion of these tough courses...a new meaning to the all too familiar words "afkak, opvok en vasbyt"... |
