Can an Armoured Soldier get para wings?

Well, I'm joining the reserves as an Armoured Solider (Hopefully everything happens soon). Just out of curiosity, is there any chance or way for me to still earn my para wings?
 
Sure just do a basic para course. And you you could get on one though it is less likely then if you were with an Infantry Reg but it is not uncommon.
 
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news 89Sharp, but it is increasingly uncommon for people not filling designated jump positions to get onto a Basic Para.

Hell, BulletMagnet even had to get his ass shot up and switch units  ;D

Since those Reserve units that previously held jump taskings lost them, there have been fewer and fewer Res pers doing the "5 jumps and 10 t-shirts" 'paratrooper qualification.' In fact, you're even hard pressed to see senior officers out of NDHQ showing up these days  ;)


Since you've apparently decided on the OntRs...BE the expert on surveillance and reconnaissance. Don't lose sleep over other skill-sets which, while they may be cool, really don't add to what you'll bring to the table.
