Their training is 8 weeks longer than for regular infantry regiments, half of this extra training is devoted to expertise in their specialisation whilst the other half is devoted to drill and ceremony (such as parades)

culture

Troops of the regiment are known for their discipline and good behaviour as well as their valour and are mostly recruited from military families. Officers are also known for their valour but also have a reputation as womanisers.
