0:55 If i would have been the guard i would have stopped right in front of that girl and and turned around to face her.. I would probably loose my job but it would have been worth it..
The guards are many times COMBAT soldiers. I've had to explain to idiot American tourists that they aren't some joke. I tell them Americans are ignorant of the situation and they nod. I know them, they are serious troops and highly trained combat veterans of Afghanistan. Dealing with idiots is a serious pain in the ass. I have to admit, one of the funniest things I've ever seen was a group of Swedish hotties trying to mess the guard up. He's human, they had him lose concentration.
@Stoolie33 Most of them don't go Afghanistan, they have a special company in each Regiment of Foot, for example; The Grenadier Guards Nijmegan Company which I'm hopefully gonna go in for two year then transfer over to 1st Battalion :)
@Stoolie33 I am not english but have lived here for a while now... I hate when the tourists dont show the guards respect, I get really angry when I see it to be honest.....
STUPID IDIOTS HAVE NO RESPECT FOR HISTORY OR COUNTRY OR THEMSELVES!!! SHOW SOME F-ING RESPECT TO THE VERY PEOPLE WHO MAKE YOU SAFE AT NIGHT, AS FOR AMERICANS GOING TO OTHER COUNTRIES AND ACTING LIKE A DUMB AZZ IDIOT THANKS FOR MAKING US LOOK BAD IDIOT!!!
@Davidm00sh12 he'd crouch and fire back, then move out of his position to either detain or kill the attacker. I'm going to train to do this next year.
@Davidm00sh12 If he got shot at, depending on the regiment if Gren or Irish he would just stand there and put three rounds in you drop you dead, check to see your not alive move the gun, carry on the duties after seeking medical treatment if was hit
@Jakeakdreday, so, where is the ammo? he has only one clip, and if he can´t make contact with his rounds, he will run out pretty quick. this is all show, DUDE! anyways, i wanna make out with the girl behind the camera!
@ploetzlich30 It's not a "clip" it's a magazine. He has 30 rounds of which to make contact with. I'd say with the 30+ weeks of combat infantry training and possible Afghan deployments, he'd be able to make "contact" with his rounds.
He's a combat infantryman, from the Grenadier Guards, who are first and foremost Front line infantry and Ceremonial Guard second.
I'd like to think he prefers this duty to possibly stepping on an IED in Afghan'
@CowsRtoocool they are there primarily to guard the buildings and people etc. because they are trained soldiers and this is one of their many duties while not on tour. yes many may see the guards themselves as attractions etc but that is not what they are there for.
@TheAnnoyingThing1915 lol, don't complain. The British Monarchy and everything that comes with it (including the royal guards) makes Britain a shit ton of money from tourists every year.
@ToxikRaver The proper full uniform would probably cost in excess of £1000, or near the mark... your boyfriend really worth that much for a single uniform? :P
your history sums it up really. norway did not fight in the second world war, they surrendered as soon as the germans reached the norway border because you don't have the guts to stand up to the big guy and fight for what is right. so don't tell me that H.M. Armed Forces are week because they a damn stronger than yours. also our monarchy is the most famous in the world, i didn't even know norway had a monarchy until i researched it.
@agibbs98 I guess that's because we don't focus that much on our military, because we don't need to. But don't say they are just poor allies and don't have a decent history. Norwegians and Brits fought together during the WW2, and Norwegians played an important role beacuse of our long coastline. I am more proud of our work for peace though :)
@agibbs98 hahaha, and where exactly did you read that? Do you know how much Norway has done for peace during the years? We don't have a lot of people in the military, because we're only 5 million people, but that doesn't mean we have a WEAK military.
@rawrdinosaur95 Why would you think he's thinkin that? I'm Guards and I wouldnt care if som1 said that to me ? All abit of fun and thats what we want, makes the job less boring, There is a line tho !
@mbilalbhatti Most of them don't go Afghanistan, they have a special company in each Regiment of Foot, for example; The Grenadier Guards Nijmegan Company :)
Sign of the times ..... at one time a guardsman drill was impeccable, this guy's drill was wank, if he had performed like that on my square I would have bounced him the fuck off straight into the guardroom.
I totally agree with what you have said, I'm ex guards and his drill is SHITE!! what the fuck is he doing on the turns looking about,over his shoulder and up at the sky!
@scottishshooey Nice to see I'm not alone on this one. I guess were the "old breed" when soldiering meant something. To be honest the guy was a bag of shite full stop, looked like he'd slept in kit and as you rightly point out his eyes were all over the fuckin place ..... Ah well, I'll let you tell him he's lost his 48 this weekend and he's at the guardroom at six for a best dress inspection, lmao. Take it easy buddy.
Just thought I would jump in as I'm a Coldstream gds. The reason the drill gas changed is because of the change in weapon, that's it. Hope that helps.
So, I read up on the 201, Canadian Drill Manual, and apparently, arms aren't acctually supposed to go up to breast pocket height, and knees don't go up 90 degrees. Both are only supposed to go up 45! The only times they go up to 90 is for training purposes, but people have gotten carried away, and just gone with what they were taught, rather than what is in the regulations.
@itssfergy Wow, I can't believe how rude you are. I made a comment about Drill, which you clearly don't have an interest in nor a fancy for, but your attitude just blows me away.
@MessiahComing i have done palace duties before so clearly i know more about drill than some guy off civvy street reading off regulations on drill for a different army.
@emptyangel Oh no...you don't sound like a complete bastard...no no....more like a complete idiot. All western military drill are similar! Beside, what make you think that walking like you want to break your kneecaps and ankles has anything to do with discipline and cohesion. It is tradition and culture that has nothing to do with modern combat training.
