Be the Breast
Peta, from Essex, joined the latest intake of recruits striving to join the airborne fighting force.. A normal recruit will train for 20 weeks in preparation for P Company — short for Pegasus Company. Peta joined Sam and his latest intake towards the end of their training.
When it comes to the real thing the lads will have to complete a ten-mile speed march loaded up with a 35lb rucksack and an 8lb gun.To be successful a recruit has to nail it in under one hour and 50 minutes. Peta and the recruits faced a two-mile practice run. And our girl astonished everyone by completing the course, although a little slower than the pack. Next came the steeplechase, a daunting mile and a half of water troughs, tunnels, climbing walls and general hard graft. But there was worse to come. |
 |
Giving our girl a taste of free-falling were the Red Devils — the Parachute Regiment’s legendary aerial display team. Strapped to the stomach of instructor Sergeant Jay Webster, Peta leapt from a plane at 13,000ft, plummeting earthwards at 120mph. |

Once through a cloud bank Jay popped open the canopy and they drifted down for ten minutes, landing on the airfield at Netheravon, Wilts — home to the Red Devils. Peta’s P Company experience was complete. |

She took part in their final practice before they faced their five-day tests. Sam, 29, explained: “Our standards are higher than anywhere else in the Army, that’s why we are elite."It isn’t policy to exclude women from military parachute duties but unlike the Marines, there hasn’t been a woman who has passed our selection course yet.”| Peta at the Celebrity Driving Challenge Peta at the Celebrity Driving Challenge. |

Peta's Bikeride diary Day 5: Friday 30 May 2008 "Today The Help for Heroes bike ride visited a memorial to all those soldiers who were never found in WW1. It was one of the most moving experiences of my life. To see the endless list of names of men who died fighting for us but could never be given a proper burial is so sad. It was definitely an emotional moment for the soldiers who are doing the ride as well. It’s not often you see hard-as-nails Paras and Marines with misty eyes. I think everyone is getting tired but it’s close to the end now. The pace has certainly slowed and even those speedy guys who were racing ahead on the first couple of days are feeling the strain. I’m looking forward to getting home and seeing my friends and family too. As the ride has gone on people have really opened up with each other and the team spirit is great. I’ve made countless friends and have so much respect for the attitude and resolve of Our Boys. When I do get home I’m going to sit in the bath for about three days. My legs are numb and I lost feeling in my bum days ago." Read more |
