i went to pre adsc 2 weeks ago and we did no pull ups/ push ups/ sit ups has any one recently been on adsc is there a pull up / pull up / sit up test i have no problem doing them just want to know what to expect my recruiter is unsure about this as it has all changed over the last few months.
When i asked the Army chat online i asked if there was any requirments for pre selection in ripon and they answear no. But surely thy must have a requirement just confused. and my selection is in april if anyone knows please comment, Thank you Shannon
Where is the Army Development and Selection Centre theese days, I have heard that it's at Glencourse barracks near Edinburgh or is it somewhere else now?
@LiquidReason yeah 8-10 is completely cool, and as long as you can run a mile and a half in under 10.30 you will be cool. I went as an artillery gunner in the RA. i would do the course, it will seriously help with the way army runs. If you need anything else ask me i will help as much as possible.
@LiquidReason I managed 16 heaves. Most people did between 8 and 10. The 40kg max lift was from the floor to shoulder height placing it on a ledge. I dont know how many jobs are left in the RA i know theres not many spaces left and we are in phase one already. Hope you have a good experience mate.
@AIDSisntFUNNY no heaves at selection nope, but pre ADSC there were heaves for me. obviously i dont attend every single selection in the country but i hope that everyone else gets there fair shot, i was trying to help anyone who did not have a clue.
. They dont do these physical tests anymore, usually its the jerry can run 5x20 meters, heaves/pull ups, and lifting up to 40kg onto a box at around five feet. Then the 1.5 mile run
@dneizzer well on the adsc like this one, its all changed they do the jerry can run 5x20 meters, heaves/pull ups, and lifting up to 40kg onto a box at around five feet. Then the 1.5 mile run. On the last day you do command team tasks, like moving objects in teams and a grenade test, pretending to throw one and doing it correctly, all they want to see is effort. Work hard and you can do it
@TheMechaCookie It depends on how shy you actually are. It's a hard one to judge, as the army will tell you, the people you are training with and ultimately will work and get deployed with are the people you will spend 24/7 with... Eat, sleep, wash, piss and shit with. It's a very "in your face" prospect but one things for sure, if you are shy now, the army will kick that straight out of you! Sorry to be so blunt!
Thinking about a career in the armed forces, I like the outdoors, I'm athletic and can work as part of a team, part of the army cadet force etc. But I'm not always that confident and I can be quite shy at times, is this a good career for me? shall be thankfull if anyone with experience replies
@fecto3210 you choose them self when you go to your army careers center they will ask you what your 3 chosen choices are after you will do a BARB test to see what score you get and this will be for your 1st choice so for example if your going RLC you need a score of 44 or if its infantry you need to get above 28 because they grade you on it aswell so if you scrape through the next thing you need to be good at for whatever job it is, is your fitness has to be booming run circles around everyone
@starzscream614 Thanks for the reply. My first choice is infantry but I am quite a clever guy and are likely to score way higher than 28. Will they try to push me into something else? All I want to do is infantry.
@starzscream614 @fecto3210 I got a 74 on my BARB test, and an overall grade B. Hopefully going to be a gunner in the Royal Artillery. Advice, run a lot.
@Rawc90 GOing into a warzone and getting seriously injured. ALso this war has caused great suffering to the local people and you will become connected with that. THe recruiters are satans training jesus to get executed
not 100% sure but you go there some time in the morning or afternoon then you stay there for the rest of the day sleep there and spend say another half day or something there but like i said not 100% sure
Question: Once you get recruited as infantry, how exactly does it work? Are you on the job the whole year round and get holidays like other normal jobs (weekends, Christmas) or is it like a few months posted somewhere and a few months off back in the UK?
Would appreciate if someone with experience responded.
well my brother is in the infantry and i am joining, he did all his training was deployed for 6 months but now he comes home every weekend and does get fair amount of holidays worth he is is off from today till some time January hope this helps a little
@jonnyjumpsalot when you go to your battalion you get weekends of unless you have pt on the saturday then you finish around 12.30 but if somthing big is happning you won't get the weekwnd off so if your based close to home you can go home for the weekend
@jonnyjumpsalot yes you do get get summers and winters holiday with pay your holidays usually follow the english school holidays most guys don't go home at weekends and just go out on the piss
One more question to you sir, during my contract in the army (as in infantryman), how long in a normal year can i expect to be overseas and how long in England?
Also, while i am in the UK, is a room reserved for me the whole year (even during holidays). Meaning if i do not have anywhere else to go, may i choose to stay at army housing?
@jonnyjumpsalot No, Although I'm not in the army I hope to join however 'hees back' is definatly not what you will be doing. Training, Training and more training. Be prepared for hard work.
yes every 18 months his battalion goes on tour for 6 months when he isn't away he does training he does different courses and he comes home every weekend if he isn't doing a course or isn't on excersise
yes every 18 months his battalion goes on tour for 6 months when he isn't away he does training he does different courses and he comes home every weekend if he isn't doing a course or isn't on excersise
but because he lives relatively close he can do that.
After reviewing this footage I believe that I now have a clearer understanding of what to expect and what I'd expected of me when I do attend the 2 day selection process. Thank you for the support by uploading this video because it has assisted me in my learning thank you :)
HELP! is the urine test for drugs? I smoked about 2 and a half 8ths of weed a month before my selection. Don't give me crap about i shouldnt of i was told it was gonna be later...anyway yeah...please answer..
Me and My Friends wanted to Join The British Army but I have done a research I found that, Gay people are allowed to serve the Army ! It really put us off we don't want to join Army any more because of it ? !! Were Is The world going !! damn
@jackydefo have you done ur medical with the doc? you'll also have a form to take to the opticians, they'll write on the form ur results. I suppose if ur eyesight isnt good enough they'll tell you in ur interview before selection ?
I'm not being funny but when you look at the amount of serious injuries we are starting to see on the news from being in the military i don't think its a wise choice signing up. I advise people to look at some of the injuries on the news and the think about the throught of signing up for afghanistan.
@1dealsin I'm not saying everybody of course. But young people are too young to really know whats going on in the world nad many young people see the military as a good way forward yet are too young to understand about getting injured
@210482fmj Well, if you are going a combat arms then you do have a point but we aren't going to be in afghanistan for much longer (2015). Also there is no grantee that you will be posted to afghanistan anyway. Having said all that if you are not prepared to be shot at or potentially blown up of killed then why join the combat arms in the first place? join the combat support arms or combat services if you still want a life in the army with a higher risk of injury or death
MrJonnyboyification thanks so much for making my day, iv been laughing hard for the last hour at your comment 'the ice breaker puts me off joining' loooooooooool i think you shouldnt join then mate at all pmsl the ice breaker is the least of your worries
@MrJonnyboyification You shouldn't be worrying about anything buddy. The ice breaker is a minimum of 3-5 minutes of talking about yourself. All you need to tell, is your name, age, where you live, your background, hobbies, what your family think of you joining the army, what you think to expect. And make sure you write down on a piece of paper what you have. Points preferably. Just follow that, that'l be well into 4 or 5 minutes, all the best!
guys is this still an overnight course, on the paper i got given today it says it isnt... but i dont know if i can trust that haha. selection tommorow at lichfield cant wait :D:D:DD:D:D:D:
@aurorax1210 Got a couple of questions about the jerry can test because I'm a bit worried lol. Did you find it easy? & How many people in your group failed to complete it?
whats the eye test like??.. i know the army website has the required standard but i dont know the excact standard my eyes are but my left eye is rubbish really bad eyesight... so is the eye test generally easy or do you need very good eyesight
i passed ADSC but i have to go back in a couple days for an eye test, i have a lazy right eye so i have to wear glasses to get my sight up to the required standard, i was just wondering is the eye chart at 03:33 the same all the time so i could memorise it ?
Oh my god that JNCO looks so familar! .. I'm sure I've seen him/an older version of him at stockport AFCO's by god! haha ay well ... can't wait to hopefully get in the Paras ... or the Rifles .. or the QRL's .. first choice the Paras obviously though 8)
Does anyone know where is the nearest selection centre from Merseyside is?
and also im not the most confident of people so how many is the icebreaker infront of roughly?:') and does it affect your overall result?.. thanksss:)
I'm quite worried about this :/ I'm quite a small person but i've been training everyday and i can tell i've built up my strength alot. It's just when i see this video the people all look bigger then me
@DIJV79 you do know our training is 26 weeks for infantry right? whilest in the US army it is only 12 weeks, we learn so much more and go through a lot more pain mentally and phisically, but obviously you will still think that the US army is better for some unknown reason.
@VICEKING6 Have a bath the night before and relax for the day before you go. Get plenty of water down you, you will do better than you think. They build you up to it in those two days. And there will be other people running. So you will feel a little competitive about it. I did a big ass hill run twice a week combined with an endurance run. I did that for a month and it took a minute from my run time. I got 10.16. How long until you go?
@idealHopper the TST is just basic maths, you only do it if your going into a trade, i'm going infantry so i didnt have to do it, but from what i've heard its pretty easy, takes about 20 minutes and you do get a calculator.
& nope i went to pirbright, same place as in this video
Wear a suit don't listen to anyone on this, if you perform equally as good as another candidate and they wear a suit and you wear your newest McKenzie tracksuit who will they pick? DO NOT LIE ALSO
@CallioBajallio don't listen to that boy, travel in track bottoms and a jumper to ease with the medicals, cos your getting 2 mins to put your bags in the room and go to medicals, no time to change and fold suit up and get into sports wear. you'll get your info through the post before you go to adsc telling you this.
@DoomDigital no idea yet, just waiting on a phone call to say if i have or not but i think i did pretty well :) and sadly not... for me i go to Edinburgh :/
I am going into the army as a junior leader to go harrogate for a year, after harrogate i want to join the paras. At selection do i still have to do the 1.5mile run in 9min 18 if im going to the college first ?
@The123longlane You get trained for the Para's in Harrogate. If your going for the Junior Entry your going to Selection to see if you qualify to go to Harrogate. Get it? You will have to pass another test (I believe) Before you finish and go to do your Para's when you finish college.
@somethingmemorable1 i meant to say practice development but i did well. passed the run and icebreaker but im still going to prepare more for the real selection to well and truly nail it.
anyone have any idea what the run time is for the mercian regiment, i know im well under at sub 9 minutes, but i'd like to know what the actual dit is on it.
i went to pre adsc 2 weeks ago and we did no pull ups/ push ups/ sit ups has any one recently been on adsc is there a pull up / pull up / sit up test i have no problem doing them just want to know what to expect my recruiter is unsure about this as it has all changed over the last few months.

i passed ADSC but i have to go back in a couple days for an eye test, i have a lazy right eye so i have to wear glasses to get my sight up to the required standard, i was just wondering is the eye chart at 03:33 the same all the time so i could memorise it ?

Its easier to join the U.S military and it is guaranteed you will see combat and endure some sort of physical are mental injury.
DIJV79 7 months ago
@DIJV79 you do know our training is 26 weeks for infantry right? whilest in the US army it is only 12 weeks, we learn so much more and go through a lot more pain mentally and phisically, but obviously you will still think that the US army is better for some unknown reason.
idealHopper 7 months ago
WOW! you get to use a calculator, this would never happen in the U.S Army. You test and your physical ability is determined before you even join.

VICEKING6 8 months ago
@VICEKING6 Have a bath the night before and relax for the day before you go. Get plenty of water down you, you will do better than you think. They build you up to it in those two days. And there will be other people running. So you will feel a little competitive about it. I did a big ass hill run twice a week combined with an endurance run. I did that for a month and it took a minute from my run time. I got 10.16. How long until you go?

rhyoul 8 months ago
@idealHopper the TST is just basic maths, you only do it if your going into a trade, i'm going infantry so i didnt have to do it, but from what i've heard its pretty easy, takes about 20 minutes and you do get a calculator.
& nope i went to pirbright, same place as in this video

I am going into the army as a junior leader to go harrogate for a year, after harrogate i want to join the paras. At selection do i still have to do the 1.5mile run in 9min 18 if im going to the college first ?
The123longlane 10 months ago
@The123longlane If your going to college (Junior entry) Your allowed something silly like 14 Mins to do it. So unless you walk you can't fail it!
EnragedGoat 10 months ago
@EnragedGoat So when i go to selection , say i do the run in 10mins will that affect my chances of getting in the paras after harrogate ?
The123longlane 9 months ago
@The123longlane You get trained for the Para's in Harrogate. If your going for the Junior Entry your going to Selection to see if you qualify to go to Harrogate. Get it? You will have to pass another test (I believe) Before you finish and go to do your Para's when you finish college.
