When I pass out of Catterick, can I choose to go to either 2 or 3 Para? Or is that decided for you? Thanks.

Thanks for tour question
You will have a choice but the decision will then be made to where there is space or where you are required
Paras used to have a system where a family member could vouch for you to go to the same unit as them, unsure if this is still the case
2 & 3 para do very similar roles
