Reference your first question, they are some pretty broad topics. We use a number of different weapon's from the SA80 and C8 carbine to the M18 Claymore mine to the NLAW. We also conduct training in all manner of areas from Battlefield Casualty Drills (BCD) to marksmanship training to navigation (and even sometimes extra subjects like tracking and survival).

To join the Parachute Regiment, you can get started by making an application on the British Army website or go to you local careers office as soon safe to do so
