@thetimes: Grace Cussons has become the first female reservist to pass the army’s gruelling P Company course, which proves that personnel have the resilience to serve in the airborne forces.⁠ ⁠ Cussons, 28, passed the Parachute Regiment’s entry test, which includes a ten-mile march carrying 16kg in two hours, log and stretcher races and an aerial confidence course, after the second attempt.⁠ ⁠ She told The Times: “This is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Being in the army has categorically changed my life in so many ways.”⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Tap the link to read more ⁠ ⁠ 📸 John Nguyen for The Times #army #military #womenempowerment #uknews #armedforces

Was it the same as the All arms commando course! Well let’s say it was a little two tier to say the least! Hopefully not and complete respect if she did it exactly the same as the blokes.

Not to try and take any thing away from her. But she's a reservist, it's not the same course as P coy.
