- Portuguese Armed Forces description
Portuguese armed forces are divided into 3 main branches. Air-Force, Navy and Army. Each of these branches has it’s own special forces group. In this post I will try to explain how these are organised in a very simple way
- My Career as a Paratrooper
I joined the Army paratroopers special forces because I wanted to be part of the elite soldiers. I believe that if may other could do it, so could I. It was also one of the biggest challenges and tests I had imposed myself, and I wanted to know how I would cope with that.
I endured a lot of mental and physical hardships, as I recognise it definitely wasn’t an easy path, but I learned a lot from it and made friends for life. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t think twice. - Moments to remember
