"So why a “round the world odyssey” at nearly 71 years of age you might ask?  I’ve felt on many occasions with my life as if there is a greater force propelling me along to undertake certain things or adventures. This is such a time."

If so, you’ve landed in the right place.

British Airborne Forces Club

 

The British Airborne Forces Club (BAFC) is solely for the Airborne Brotherhood. If you’ve not passed P Coy and your BPC you are not eligible to join this club.

We verify all applicants and our membership process makes us exclusive.

We are a Brotherhood, regardless of unit, and we enjoy a support system among ourselves that’s second to none. We support serving and non-serving members of the brotherhood and their dependents. We have funds that we gather from our annual subscriptions, donations and the events that we run, these funds are used to support our brothers, not just in the UK but throughout the world.

Our annual subscription is £10, that’s it. In terms of membership benefit you get out what you put in by joining in. We currently have two events each year, one in Aldershot (P Coy 10 Miler) and the other in Brecon (Fandance).

So, join us. You won’t regret it because it’s the only way to stay in the Brotherhood whilst in Civvy Street.

Read Josh's Story

Josh Boggi Motivational Speaking

https://www.joshboggi.com

Two months into his third tour of Afghanistan in 2010, Josh stood on a Pressure Pad Improvised Explosive Device (IED) that triggered beneath him, resulting in the loss of both his legs and his right arm.  The blast also damaged his remaining left hand. Josh also suffered damage to his spine, nerve damage and he also had a pulmonary embolism which Doctors back at Camp Bastion had to fight to control.

"I still remember everything" he says, "I didn’t think it was me at first because I felt no pain and couldn’t see because there was so much dust in my eyes". It wasn't until his colleagues started applying tourniquets that the penny dropped.

Josh says "This may sound bad and some may feel sorry for me, but don't, yes, it changed my life but it changed it for the better".

The Parachute Regimental Association (PRA) was formed at the end of the Second World War to further the interests of The Parachute Regiment and to organise functions and activities so members could continue associations formed during their service with the Regiment and Airborne Forces.

PRA membership covers all age groups and different cap badges with branches nationwide, including Northern Ireland. Meetings are generally held monthly to organise social functions, visits, reunions, pilgrimages, battlefield tours and, of course, to catch up on the latest Regimental news and gossip over a drink or two.
