Parachuting
On passing P-Coy, all soldiers at 144 PARA, then proceed onto the famous Military Jumps Course, at No1 Parachute School (PTS), RAF Brize Norton.
After a 2 week course and having completed 8 satisfactory descents, soldiers are then awarded the most coveted award across all military services: the parachute "wings".
Having earned their wings, an important part of training for soldiers within 144 Parachute Medical Squadron, is parachuting!
The following galleries show 144 PARA taking part with 16 Air Assault Brigade in a recent series of jumps, emplaning at RAF Lyneham and dropping at Everleigh Drop Zone (DZ).
