A NORTH-EAST teenager passed out from the Infantry Training Centre in Catterick last week.

Sean Allison, 17, who attended St Michael's RC School, in Billingham, Teesside, started his training at Catterick in August after completing a 42-week course in Harrogate.

Sean hopes to be part of the Parachute Regiment.

He received the award for Champion Recruit during the second phase of his training, and will now complete his parachute training at RAF Brize Norton, before joining a battalion.
