[oopekili1]

@nssurge ty

[FinlayWins]

@oopekili1 he's shouting "on guard" but fucking loud so I see where you're coming from

[MrGingster]

Ime in training now at Catterick, that bayonet training is fukin sick... Trainings hard at times but u jus smash threw it as a platoon as a section or as an individual.... Recommend the army to anyone!!!!!

[MonsterKraftHD]

@MrGingster hey...im thinking of joining. Im 14 , just the push ups which are putting me off; I heard if you cant get the correct amount , they put you back like 3 weeks and you have to wait for the next PT Test.

Any tips on pushups? Im doing them every day; twice a day along with abdominal excercises.

And the 1.5 Mile run? =/ Any tips would help dude!

[MrNobodyGivesAFuck]

@SemiAuto777 you have no idea what your getting yourself into. Cadets are a kids game compared to the regs pal.

[SemiAuto777]

Hopefully joining next year, anyone got any pointers or tips? Been a cadet for a few years so I have a rough idea of what to expect, but aside from that anything I should know?

[IRELANDISMYCOUNTRY]

at 02.04 it looks like the ginger chap is crying!

[starzscream614]

@shacklouisa123 what time can you run a mile and a half in

[tosski85]

At catterick no one can hear you scream! Thinking of tjat place again makes my bum tweak, although being in rag order bayonetting dummies was epic.

[MrNobodyGivesAFuck]

@MrXblink you'd fee like a dick doing it ? Clearly youve never experienced it.another keyboard war veteren -.- imagine being dragged about stupid all day,your tired,your hungry,your exhausted and your corprals and comanding officers are shouting abuse at you.when ou eventually get that bayonet, you want to slaughter any cunts that you come across. You are that angry that your corprals have to psychically thrown you down to the groung ,take off your bayonet and tell you to calm down.we had tons

[sexaynocci]

Brings back so many memories... I hated that place haha!

[malechauvinistxy]

Losers cant do monkey bars..lol

[MrXblink]

I would feel such a dick doing that bayonet lesson , "on gaurdddddddddd lol "

[djseanyp86]

@sinato Yeah man passed at glencorse a few weeks ago! I struggled a bit with the fitness side of it but i showed enough determination and teamskills and had enough character to get a decent grade :) start at ITC on feb 5th. Cant wait!

[sinato]

@djseanyp86 Sweet congratulations! I hope to have my Pre ADSC soon, but my medical docs are taking their time...apparently they lost my forms so now i'm sitting here a bit frustrated lol. Once that's through though i'm off and on my way to becoming a soldier!

[JizzyTissue00]

[uoitofsogroj]

Cataractonium



[nademusa]

miss this place ..............GURKHA COY......

[nobby2shoes]

I second that I got out jan 06 n I cudnt do it now id be breethin out my arse.

[KTRecon]

Everyone who's looking thinking "I could do that." You fucking couldn't. We infantry soldiers are utter machines. You aren't born, you're built.

[captainjonesy95]

I passed out hear in 2008 I'm in the rifles was pice of piss just the 8 mile tab was solid at the end of the course and the first 6 weeks in to the course !! Just wait till your Sargent makes u put on your NBC suits on hahahaha now that's horrible

[moorevayne]

this doesnt look so hard

[lea1mercian]

@moorevayne Thats because this is only parts of it you dont see the 3am wake up and the beasting inbetween

[CDNmuslimkiller]

@moorevayne oh dude u have no clue. this is not the 4 week us army infantry school or marine school of infantry where your trained on one weapon. british infantry get beasted like u wouldnt believe.

[jamanduloli2]

@moorevayne

Plus that kit is fairly heavy (assuming webbing is packed)

[TheUltimatekill69]

@moorevayne also you get a bit of drill wrong then god help you :L this is after alot of training their are proper ways of doing thongs not just runniong about shooting thngs :L saying things like that wont get you far in the army everythings hard in the sergeants eye :L

[GIProductionz]

@moorevayne your the biggest knob ive seen today

[black39gold]

Hopefully me next year ;) paras are 9:18 btw, not 9:30

[MySparter]

I would say to all persons thinking of joining up,that like all jobs of work is not for every one.It does require committement,as well as the hard work that goes with it.For those that pass out on the final day,will be a proud moment for your selve and family.You will continue training,as your progress throught your army career,and you will be required to continue your fittness,ontop of any training sessons.At the end of the day,you will be able to stand on your own two feet,as a solidier,proud.

[bluebirdell]

im signing up in a few months and i cant wait

[PinkDickful]

The run has to be finished at different times for different regiments. The para's have to do it in 9:30 mins

[n1bbler123]

@PinkDickful i completed the course about a month ago with cadets and the pti said if anyone army included completes it in under 9.30 mins they get a para beret

[lea1mercian]

@n1bbler123 cadets you say? hmmm nice

[noutubenamesleft]

Me on Sunday......fuk,lol

[awaker200]

[andy8324]

@jack101093 Im TA and im going catterick for 2 weeks in August. Are you regular, how long do you guys train there for

[jack101093]

@andy8324  its 26 weeks for us pal, you looking forward to it?

[TheRationalRant]

Whoa I thought it said 1.5mi in 10.3 seconds. ha

[mycal64]

@NemesisMarine01 My father was REME, I was infantry (RRW/Glosters) and my son is currently in the Australian infantry (7 RAR), so I don't think my commitment to the infantry need be further questioned. Son, I love the Paras and they have my utmost respect for what they do. I just don't like individuals knocking other corps for what they do. Men and women are dying in those regiments you criticise so please YOU keep your negative comments to yourself. Good luck with your service.

[mycal64]

Times have changed. Did my basic at Lichfield (Royal Rgiment of Wales) in '83. In those days we used the Belgian fn SLR, wore puttees and got punched in the head for making mistakes. I'd do it all again... if I wasn't 46!

[shaunmcminn18]

anyone going to catterick in aughust? if so message me :D should be good and goodluck to all who are doing selection this month

[isu2ful]

[funzzoh]

@hardkunt You poor fucker. Im from ireland is it too late to sign up?

[TDBHclan]

@hardkunt Have fun xD

[NemesisMarine01]

bunch of girls, try doing it with Para Coy, its the hardest, coldest thing u will ever do in ur army training, theres no aggression whatsoever with them lot, the Para training staff, thrash u so much and hurt u so much u can even feel ur own body, and the'v got the engarde and highport drills wrong once the'v stabbed the intended target

[mycal64]

@NemesisMarine01 That's right. And in the paras they cut ya legs off to make the 10 miler more difficult. AND we had to wrestle crocodiles with our arms behind our back before we could wear our cherry berets. Then before passing out we had to drink the blood of 10 kittens we killed with our eyelids. Prat.

[lea1mercian]

@mycal64 Well Said that jumped up crow has been blocked

[hardkunt]

Do you get a vid of when you do your basic training nowadays??

[CoffeeBeatsTea]

[KevinJKtheman]

[grandillusional]

[cevoandbezin]

same ere m8

[B1gBassa]

beyonet fighting was worst day of my life because they drain you for hours and hours with some nice corrective training :o

[jiimmiiee48]

Fuck i cant wait till i go in september :))

looks so AWESOME!!!

[outdoorbob1900]

it must have been a long night previously because on the 1.5miler some of those chaps looked completely hoopla'd

[freedomfighter150]

cant wait..start my phase 1 in sep then off to cattrick for 17 weeks (juniour guardsman) this look tough but fun

[trupnk]

this is for the thick twats who have never been in the army and dont have a clue what they are on about, for the knob who said 'why scream at someone and give them the chance to shoot you', well numpty, you WOULDNT, the point of the screaming is to get the recruit to an aggresive state of mind, this is done over and over, at the end of this what you get is a British Infantryman who is confident,aggresive and scared of nothing,this is the hardest bayonet course in the world.

[blobby496]

@trupnk thats disgusting! ur nasty bit of work!

[VanTonks]

So 52 press ups in under 2 mins yeah? not a very high amount if your already in reasonable shape.

[jmc12397]

that it walk not run when agery and about to be killed

[MrYohanStrauss]

I know this is just training but thought I would throw it out there. If you ever actually needed to use a bayonet wouldn't you want to sneak up on them before thay shoot you instead of screaming at them forever.

[JackRMCdo]

@MrYohanStrauss its just to show aggresion and motivation really, they dont expect you to shout like that on the battlefield

[kingcal1991]

my section had the record for the obstacle course, fastest of any Guards Coy section i forget what the exact time was but i like it was like 9:20 or something

[mitz657]

i did the winter course, the excercises were pure hell, passed out in 2000 during the foot and mouth, brings back some memories seeing this too, good vid, wish i had my training vid still, any idea where i can get hold of it, even tho it was years ago?

[assninja100]

@mitz657 did you pass training?

[mitz657]

@assninja100 Yh mate served 4years infantry

[Mattyd242]

@mitz657 Haha foot and mouth, was there same time as you, remember having to tab back in to the garrison because of the petrol shortage, was not happy!

[marcwaz82]

i'm going up 5th of september joining the welsh guards,,, i'm busting for it after watching that video

[NickE1888]

how long is that obstacle course?

[JoshRenny]

im startin phase 1 19th september for the rifles anyone else got that date? lookin forward too it :)

[jimmybboi101]

@JoshRenny im not joinin the infantry but the royal armoured and i was just wonderin wat the pre selection coarse was like. or is it different for the infantry?

[66alphazulu]

The Mercians have taken a bit of stick in the ghan, so train hard lads and stick together.

[sirmoomoothe3rd]

44 push ups in 2 mins

[UKairsoft94]

The people holding the ak47 were probly the ANA.

[vennom212]

Goin on the 21st of march !! joining the royal regiment of scotland and no doubt afghan by the end of the year !!!! :D

[Lunarlaserranging]

their equipment hasn't been working well for them so i've heard

[UKairsoft94]

@Lunarlaserranging you mean*bull pup

[dolanm56]

@Lunarlaserranging

I think you'll find that most standard military weapons used in most countries all use the same 5.56 × 45 mm NATO round so in effect each gun is no more powerfull than the next.

[dolanm56]

@Lunarlaserranging

Again i agree that the SA80 isnt the best choice of weapon the armed forces could use but this is there weapon of choice since the 80's and although they have been considered unreliable a lot of changes have been made to try justify those defects with jamming in different weather climates etc hence why the MOD still use them.

[dolanm56]

@Lunarlaserranging

My guess is those real elite you talk about will pay for there own custom weapons and clothes.

Even when i was in the army a lot of people paid to have clothes customed tailored.

Although the MOD dont issue left hand SA80's heckler & koch do have a conversion kit for the SA80 to convert it to a left hand rifle.

Im assuming if you were willing to pay for it then it might be allowed as you have the same rifle throughout your entire service as a soldier

[dolanm56]

@Lunarlaserranging

Have you ever been in the armed forces ? i have and know plenty of people who are still serving there time in the armed forces and know just as many who are in the process of joining.

The MOD cant be that low on budgets when they are employing and training new recruits.

Because of the recession more and more people have joined the armed forces.

Although i agree about the SA80 they have many problems and aren't a great choice for left handed people but they do the job

[dolanm56]

Is that the same old shitty grey HI-TECH trainers i see these guys wearing like the ones they used to issue during basic training back in 1997 ?

[dolanm56]

@Lunarlaserranging

The training provided in the british army is a lot longer and better than other countries like US etc so those who have no experience with guns learn to become competant in using a firearm.

So in reality it wouldn't matter how much experience someone has with guns as they learn how to use a firearm aswell as how to strip clean and maintain there own weapon.

the UK still has guns just laws on owning firearms are much stricter than they were 10 or 20 years ago

[FletchRDG]

@leeham991 well ive had abit of o play about with this and made a mock political party called the British Open House Party, there certain rules and regs politicians have to abide by (if you want i can give even more details) and then i addressed National Service, Crime and Prisons, Welfare, National Health Service, Health Hygiene and Safety, Human rights and things like that. I think the country has gone soft, we need some bite back in this country. Ill send you a private message

[FletchRDG]

@leeham991 very true but we can't have a the Conservatiives in power either because they will leave the British Army high and dry like bloody thatcher did. I dont know if the Lib Dems could be trusted. If it doesn't get sorted I think we need conscription, if we loose our army there will be countries wanting these islands not to mention terrorist activity would increase ten fold. I also dont like this cutting corners business they've been doing aswell, the jackal is a disgrace.

[fatheaded2k7]

i wouldnt bother applying mate, the goverenment cant afford any more soilders so you will just be wasting your time. And its all your best effort in 2 minutes ofr everything its fucking easy

[WorldFrontlineMedia]

why did the Ginger kid get booted out?
