Green Goose Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Pathetic Tarot, you really must try and knock these chips off your shoulders. The parachute drops were part of regular training exercise which would have to be done anyway. When my cousin was a para he had to do a minimum of 4 day and 4 night jumps every year. So where it's done is of no significance.Doing it over Alleyn's makes sense as the school has one of the largest CCF (Combined Cadet Force) operations in the UK and would be of direct interest to the cadets.Pupils attend CCF in their own time after school hours. It is very useful in building team spirit, instill self-confidence and develop leadership skills. Quite a few ex cadets go on to have careers in the military - serving the country.

Asset Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Spend all that money on their education only for them to get blown up? seems a waste - surely captains of industry serve our country better.
