  • Going to be me some time this year if plans go right can't wait

  • Holiday camp compared to 10 years ago

  • wow the people arguing on this video are such retards. The training looks the bollocks though

  • This takes me back down memory lane.

  • "Killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder" - Albert Einstein.

  • Quote "Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy" - Henry Kissinger. Wakey wakey.

  • Sorry but from what i see here, certainly not up to the physical standard required. In my day - different time and different place, initial training ran over a period of 10 months, 24/7, 4/5 hours sleep if lucky, daily beastings with tarr-poles, ammo crates or whatever -usually incorporated as part of tactical training, first 2 days pass after 10 months. This is the type of pt once the privilage of cooks, medics and the like.

  • When i finish my waste of a life college course in July, I'm signing up first thing!!

  • @SmokingCures I'm going into the Royal Navy as an officer... pay's better and there's less of a chance of being shot.

  • Can I join the British Army if im from the States?

  • @KJT922010T Yes you can! You need to apply for a British citizenship, and have no criminal record.

  • @KJT922010T you need to apply for a British citizenship which you will probably get if have not done any criminal offences and as long as your willing to protect her Majesty and the People Britannia and the British Commonwealth then you can join and also if your willing to die for your country for what we stand for

  • @inTHEwrongGENERATION British Citizenship isn't hard to get. Hop onto a Eurostar, a boat, hell even a plane if you want to be posh and walk on in.

    In all seriousness if people want to join Her Majesties Armed Forces and they are from other nations then I have respect for them and they should be allowed in... though that I had better add that!!!

  • Looks a little easier then us army basic+ infantry AIT. But doubt this video included the toughest parts.

  • @masterkorn Research it. Believe me, it is not easier. It is the toughest in the world.

  • @masterkorn easier than us army basic + infantry training? are you kidding haha good joke

  • lovely army, much love from canada, god save the queen and may the Duke of Edinburgh get better!

  • @1988scottcarey save her from what?

  • 1:37 Haha what the fuck is up with his voice

  • @Cruisey1234 Its what smoking does to you!

  • @Cruisey1234 He lost his voice in war :D

  • @Cruisey1234 ever consider he has lost it threw shouting or something? or a infection made his voice go like that? think logically before commenting.

  • @UKGrowerz Or maybe he took a dick in the ass, lol.

    Nah i'm only joking he seemed like a good bloke.

  • Grats brits :)

  • Its important you understand when people send people off with weapons they don't need you alive. If they needed you alive they wouldn't send you off with weapons

  • But L/Cpl Wardle said he had since developed post traumatic stress disorder.

    He will leave the Army in January.It is just the way I am and it was enough to get me medically discharged

  • Compared to U.S. Army Infantry School, this looks like a really fun summer camp.

  • My turtle joined the British Army to fight against the dark side, Lord Voldermort. He lost his right leg and now we have replaced it with a wheel...it's sad seeing my turtle injured, but it's worth it knowing that my turtle...my turle! was a horcourx and killed Voldermort. This video just makes my turtle smile, all the good memories...and with you lot supporting me, i would be able to pimp my turtles wheel and don't forget to sub to me...it will help my turtle a lot, and me as well. Thank you.

  • @tkmagunam uk museum in London?? You mean English?? Gets in my tits when people call it the uk when it isn't needed. Uk cosists of many countries not just England.

  • As a Ex British Army officier. I can openly say that, training is phyiscally and mentally challenging. I've served along side American soldiers both in Iraq and Afghanistan they are great men! And we are honoured to have them as are allies. US and Britian together will win this war on terrorism. If your against the Armed Forces from any nation clear off and die!

  • Comment removed

  • so polite..lol

    

  • God you fucking morons are so so stupid and pathetic. The US and British are good Soilders, and are allies. Its the little kids who havent hit puberity yet who think they need to say" We are better because BLAH!" STFU! Im American and I respect these men, just as much as I do my home country. Sad fucking dipshits.

  • I'm going to the army for 5 days for my public services course. I really hope that it's as good as the full training like this

  • im real happy that us americans have strong allies like britian to stand alongside us when we fight :D

  • @nosepickaxe1000 yes afterall americans saved british asses in world war 2 hahahahahahahahhahahaha

  • @CJCityAndreas Not really...? People like you are fucking annoying...Team effort.

  • @CJCityAndreas After all you couldn't be bothered to help us until you were attacked

  • @Cozsack yes japan was the big stone but yanks saved ya asses cuz you all SUCK british boy hahahahahahahahhahaa

  • @CJCityAndreas How old are you... 12? Do you know anything about WWII apart from what you learnt on Call of Duty?

  • @Cozsack who gave british some money after the suffered in battle of britain and bombed all their money off???who gave them money to rebuild their union after battle of britain?WHO?its clearly the USA cuz you isle apes always depend on them even today you can them as DOGS in war like the french hahahahahahahahahaha but british are not dogs they are ISLAND APESSSSSSSSS hahahahahhahaha

  • @CJCityAndreas Fucking Troll who doesn't know anything about military history... Twat.

  • @Cozsack british army SUCKS thats why america and russian STILL HAVE the better armys cuz you always DEPEND on the yanks !hahahahahhahahahaha

  • @CJCityAndreas Quality not Quantity... No we don't depend on the yanks, we never have and we never will!

  • @Cozsack ok then why you begged americans for money and weapons after and before battle of britain and had to pay debt till 1980?can you tell me that?or why russians were ALONe in the eastfront while yanks and island apes and frog eater french came together in the westfront ?why?because british are so good?for me british are the worst army of all time hahahahahahahahhahahahahaha

  • @CJCityAndreas The British fought on both the east and the western front! We never had any money given to us by the Americans, we had to rise as a nation together, That's why in 1948 we started the rebuild program when citizens helped other citizens by helping them pay for their taxes and a new rebuilding of homes! We still had rations by 1949! If anything we were giving the Americans money for the Thompson M1A1 and the Thompson 1928A1!

  • @Cozsack on the eastfront?is that why russia was first in berlin and could nearly won the ww2 alone?while the british were eating shit from americans on the westfront hahahahhahahahahahha if british are so goodddddddddddddd then why did they have to pay DEBT till 1980 to the americans?can you explain this?so british didnt lose their colonies in through ww2 and it didnt make them look like beggars????explain that

  • @CJCityAndreas I would like to say many things this time round...

    1) We were never in debt to the Americans,

    2) I Respect both Russia and America for everything they've done,

    3) The Russians were closer, that's why they got there first, we joined soon after to help you with the Battle against Berlin.

    As I said before I respect both the Americans and Russia so can this argument stop now as it's pissing me off, and I am starting to lose my utmost respect for you...

  • @Cozsack british always need americans for EVERYTHING even today you follow americans in wars like in afghanistan and more because you are DOGS to USA hahahahahhahahahahahahahhahaha

  • @CJCityAndreas Also you couldn't have won the war alone as we had weakened almost all of the Germans on the western front, they would have otherwise sent their troops on the western front as reinforcements and obliterated you all. Yes, without the Russians we would have probably lost the Second World War, but without the British so would you. If you have anybody to whine about then do so to the French or the Americans as they did shit all. We were only in debt due to buying lots of Tommy Guns...

  • @Cozsack americans didnt do much in war 2 and russians did the most and british did more than americans but they came with french and americans and moreeeeee on WESTFRONT because british are S***** to come alone so they always need others to fight something and the worst thing about britain is iTS AN UNION between scotland and england and wales and north ireland which means all of these island apes are even too S*****to fight germany alone hahahahahhahahahahahahhahaha

  • @CJCityAndreas You've obviously never heard of the British Empire then...

  • @Cozsack british empire SUCKS and defend ya isle next time without the europeans and jews you island cunts hahahhahahahahahahahahhahahaha­hha and i heard somewhere that the royal family which was responsible for creating the british empire were from GERMANY aswell??????WOW you british really SUCK hahahahhaahhahahahahahaha and yanks saved ya asses in ww2 END OFF ask them ask us you took everything from them you island apes hahahahahahaha

  • @CJCityAndreas No we didn't no we weren't you cunt! ahahhahahahahhaha

  • @Cozsack isle ape YOU STINK

  • @CJCityAndreas Fantastic comeback! Couldn't have thought of anything different!

  • @Cozsack comeback?i know truth hurts you but now go and beg some americans afterall ya royal family has german blood hahahahahhahahahahahaha

  • @CJCityAndreas We did more than France, they gave up after all. The Russians couldn't have done any better without us, We beat the Germans in WW1 with the Canadians, we could have beet them in WW2, the only thing that the Russians did was fight them from the west, we fought em on the East and the West. The Germans didn't think about invading us because they knew we would conquer them so STFU, I've lost more or less all of my respect to the Russians, Americans and even the Germans! So Fuck Off!

  • @Cozsack more than france?YES but dont touch russians they would own you aswell after all you island apes needed dutch and polish in your shitty RAF to defend battle of britain invasion and world war 1?that wasnt even a war and it was the austrians mainly we just fought with them but ww2 is ours and many apes were needed to beat a single germany because my ancestors were the BEST and sucked when they touched the soviet !and who created england by the way?THE ANGLO SAXON FROM GERMANY

  • @CJCityAndreas you will find that many other cultures made England, Anglo, Saxon, Roman, celts etc.... suggest you read some history there. Your assertion that america saved our back sides is laughable, if my memory serves me correct then when america joined the European stage England had just kicked the Germans out of north america. now if you are saying they helped, yes they did they gave us money and supplies i will agree with you on. But they joined late in both World war's

  • @loudman12 read ya history prick !england was created by anglo saxon from germany and then they mixed with the REAL BRITISH CALLED CELTSSSSSSSSS(scottish and irish and welsh )and also the vikings and normans and more came !so britain is A MIX !!!!!!!!england kicked germany in north africa?i am sure it was BRITAIN because your RAF commanders were mostly SCOTTISH ORIGIN not english !!!!we germans are superior to england cuz we CREATED YOUR COUNTRY you didnt create us mate so INFERIOR!

  • @CJCityAndreas ah yes the germans who committed genocide of the Jewish people, ah yes that lovely people. The Germans did not create England, they were one of many different cultures that existed within the British isles, again history lesson sunshine. Oh and they were not called Scottish at the time they were called PICTS, so again learn some history.

  • @loudman12 the germanic anglo saxn invaded britain and created england and killed some of the useless red haired celts and now everyone on isle speaks GERMANIC LANGUAGE not any shitty CELTIC SLAVE LANGUAGES LOOOOOOOOOOOOL picts -scottish-irish all CELTS only the first english were white all others are GINGERS wahahaha

  • @CJCityAndreas you do not seem to know your own history, the anglo saxon did not invade, the Saxons did, the Anglo were a sub tribe within the Saxons, So again sunshine a little bit of knowledge on your part would not go a miss. When the Saxons invaded the British isles when the Romans in 400ad the Romans were leaving to defend other parts of the empire. the Saxons were eventually stopped by native British tribes. The Saxons settled in the northern part and other kingdoms developed.

  • @loudman12 It was not until 600AD onwards that these kingdoms started the road to any kind of unity, and it was not until the time of 800AD onwards that country "England" became a reality. So sunshine care to try again, I am actually waiting for a proper challenge from you, because your basic knowledge is shockingly bad, . the English language is a mixture of Germanic Celt, and French (Normandy) the Germanic part is only a part of the English language.

  • @loudman12 400 AD ANGLO SAXON INVASION and pushing the celts further to scot and ireland and wales and creating england !!!!its clearly in history book so suck my d****you GINGER hahahahhahahahah british are mixed inbreds between celts and germanic but real english man was white and from european continent you island c*****ts and you talk about modern english is a mix but the OLD ENGLISH(FIRST ENGLISH)was anglo saxon origin !!!!so FAIL and now go back to ya isle and read a book lol

  • @CJCityAndreas I have read many books, considering I Have a degree in modern and classical British history. I know for certain that it was Saxon invasion and the Anglo part was a sub tribe within the Saxon people. 2. They did not build England, any history book will show you that England was not official until the 800AD with the mixture of kingdoms at that time. Northumbria, kingdom of Wessex, celts in Wales.

  • @loudman12 and the period from their creation of the English nation<-----------this and

    he term is also used for the language now called Old English, spoken and written by the Anglo-Saxons and their descendants in much of what is now England<-----------this

    these both sentences you can find in google or wiki and there you will see who the FIRST ENGLISH WERE and who were RESPONSIBLE for creating england nation and old english language !!!!!

    i am not sure what kind of

  • @CJCityAndreas Also I did not reply to myself, if you actually look it was a continuation of my comment which exceeded the number of characters I could use, you really are that stupid. ??. Sorry little boy but you fail so bad this is embarrassing. until England united in 800AD the British isles still had the local dialects, Saxon. Germanic, welsh, celtish, nor dish language. shouldn't you Germans be gassing innocent woman and children I leave you to carry on with that :)

  • @loudman12 i am not sure what kind of history book you got at home but it must be something from DISNEYWORLD hahahahhahahahahahhaha you stupid the language you speak now has its origin in the anglo saxon invasion !!!!!and now go back and kill some innocent aborigine australians which you done some years ago so ya not better than germans with jews dumb island ape :D

  • @CJCityAndreas i dont think we killed 6 million of them. and the fact you looked at wiki makes your comment null and void. i suggest you go to a library ( the thought of you doing some actual research is hard i know :)) The english language we speak is a mixture of German, French, Norse etc... as i stated in a earlier comment. you calling me ape is odd as you are human as well that would make you a German ape :)

  • @loudman12 if 6 million or 1000 KILLING IS KILLING so ya not better than us prick !!!!!!!!and wikipedia?????i am sure i got a book from library called ANGELSACHSEN ARMEE !!!!!maybe you should google about that?dont worry this anglo saxon invasion theory can be found EVERYWHERE cuz shitty england was created by germanic tribes from GERMANY and all languages in the world are MIXED but your shitty language did have its ORIGIN IN GERMANY/DENMARK so it makes you INFERIOR!!!!

  • @loudman12 and you are DUMB you answered your own message HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA look below you <--------------you are clearly from britain LOL

  • @loudman12 you f****dumb prick...... the angles gave the name ENGLAND !!!!!!they came with the saxons and thats why it was the ANGLO SAXON !!!!!!!!and the jutes and frisians and more germanic came and ruled ya isle and showed some white power you smelly celtic c*****/inhabitans hahahahahahahahha and england was created by anglo saxon read english history in google or library and it will tell you that it was the angles and saxons who built ENGLAND you smelly ape loooooooooool

  • @loudman12 and winston churchill(half american by the way ) begged americans and roosevelt to ENTER THE WAR <-------------remember????????­?????????did you sleep in ww2 history?what about the telegraph???????????????YOU ISLAND APES ARE good for eating shit but not for wars mateeeeeee hahahahahahhahahahahahha thank god russia and america have better armys than island apes hahahahahhahahaha

  • @CJCityAndreas better armies well america is good at friendly fire I guess, I mean the fact they have to have printed on RPG launchers aim towards the enemy cracks me up a bit. Britain are not good for wars, I think you earlier comment "Did I fall asleep in history class". The British at its prime rules 1/3 world, our navy was untouchable and army. Also learn to spell and proper use of grammar when insulting might, make you a little more creditable :)

  • @loudman12 Britain are not good for wars<-------this was written by you !!!and its true !!!!they cannot fight ! they needed dutch and ploish in RAF to defend battle of britain invasion !!!!

    and today they run behind americans like DOGS whenever there is a war looooooooooooool you british are not island apes but slaves to americans and thats the TRUTH if you like it or not its ya cup of tea !and your british empire was created by ROYAL FAMILY which is mainly german origin :-)

  • @loudman12 navy=YES good-----------but army?LMAO even the commonwealth countries helped in battle of britain hahahahha you cunts are shit to defend anything alone without others :D:D

  • @CJCityAndreas yes that's why your country was destroyed and occupied by Russia, France, Britain USA, oh the shame :)

  • @loudman12 Finally! Someone else who can get stuck with an argument with this idiot! He doesn't know what he's talking about! :)

  • @Cozsack I have a extensive knowledge of history, British isles etc..., if this idiot wants to go toe to toe with me, then he will lose badly :) I love debating people like this because their arguments fall so badly :)

  • @loudman12 so many countries were needed to beat a SINGLE GERMANY in our ground that shows that british are the biggest P**** of all alliances hahahahhahahahahha

  • @CJCityAndreas Commonwealth is made up of the countries in which the British Empire let be independent or couldn't afford because we spent all of our money bashing you!

  • @Cozsack british begged the commonwealth for help during battle of britain cuz you island apes cannot even defend yourself alone even today you apes join americans or french to fight cuz you all cant fight anything ALONE see libya looooooooooooooool

  • @loudman12 Actually the UK ruled a 1/4 of the world land mass and about the same amount in the number of people in the world!!! As you said the Royal Navy was untouchable, we had around 52 Aircraft carriers and after the German defeat we took them to the East and ended up losing less than the Yanks as ours were better!!! lol

    God Save the Queen

    RULE BRITANNIA

  • @CJCityAndreas And it wasn't till the mid 1980s it was till the Late 50s, Early 40s...

  • @Cozsack no it was till 1980<----------from the world war till the 80s!!!!!!!!!read in google about british situation in and after second world war hahahahahahahahhaha you C***** suck mate suckkkkkkkkkkkkkk

  • What if no one turned up for these wars? There would be no wars, if your thinking about joining the army, think long and hard do you really want to play a part in suffering and death.

  • @Liam2621 do you think if we did not turn up the taliban or who ever would decide to all of a sudden stop attacking us??

  • @MrISmokeHaze The Taliban has never attacked us, though. The London Bombings of 2005 weren't from the Taliban, *we* are attacking them. No amount of military intervention would have stopped those bombings, however the opposite may have.

    You also know that the Americans actually supported the Taliban (and yes, Bin Laden too) in the 1980s when they were fighting against the Soviet Union? Back then they were known as the Mujahadeen.

  • @ThrexyX i think you did some selective reading there......

    do you think if we did not turn up the taliban OR WHO EVER would decide to all of a sudden stop attacking us??

  • @MrISmokeHaze Then use better examples when making a point. You're clearly talking about the Afghanistan conflict.

  • @ThrexyX ??????? so you are sayying if we had no army there would be no conflict ? get a grip kidda if we had no army we would get invaded and abused by all walks of terrorists,,,,

  • @Liam2621 damn right i do, i start in jan.. you dont have the balls..

  • Training is good, but UK have to be taught stealing is not good.

    I was surprised when I visited UK museum in London.

    Is Lupin French but UK?

  • I wish I knew what their rifles are called.

  • @OutdoorzBoys

    SA-80

  • @eatyourbacon Thanks a million guy! :)

  • I want to join the army but there's no sniper spots left... Ever

  • it really doesnt matter as long as everybody stands for the FREEDOM and LIBERTY. as long as we fight for the greater good of the world

  • british army has never lost a war and won 2 world wars so if you can take us on keep dreaming.

  • @BangalorVanguard You lost the American Revolutionary War. Point is. EVERY COUNTRY looses one time or another. But we must also remember to that WE CANNOT OVER EGO ourselves!

  • well proud of my dad served in northern ireland now my cousin is going to itc catterick

  • I will be very proud if I can make it in the Army, I hope they will take me on. We are the real deal, we save life we wish in a brighter future

  • Sometimes it suprises me people are willing to put themselves at risk for a job like this. I once considered it before afghanistan war now im glad i didn't looking at afghanistan results. It's too dangerous

  • after watching 'The mark of Cain' on 4OD, I will never even dream of an army career. The people that join wield enormous bravery and courage and extreme mental stability. watch the mark of Cain on 4OD. You'll be quite shocked...

  • Best part of the army's uniforms are fuckin wicked boots.

  • thats the sort of training we do for boxing

  • That's cool

  • DAMN that looks FUN!

  • remind me to join the royal armored corps, is it true they call the infantry speedbumps?

  • These british are nothing without GURKHA one the most fear and respected group in the world who help these faggot british to win most of the war 100 salute to gallant Gurkha........

  • @tibboiful

    please give example......?

    Don't get me wrong, i respect and admire the Gurkha's too, but they where hardly used in the Falklands war. I'm pretty sure British born soldiers do most of the fighting in war's involving Britain.

  • @tibboiful I'll be the first to admit that Gurkhas are the shit, and their reputation is quite deserved, but to say that they make up the bulk of the British Army's power is absurd. Don't get me wrong, I'd never fuck with a Gurkha, they can get close enough to be feeling your shoe-laces without you ever knowing they were there, but the British army are not the pussies you make them out to be at all.

  • @tibboiful what! more than 99% of all battles that have been fought have been by british regiments like all the british regiments who handed america there arse in 1812, when your country tried to take canada whilst we were fighting the french go away your making a fool of yourself

  • i joined as an infantry soldier in the T.A earlier tonight and part of my training is going to be at catterick.

  • i got few friends in the army im proud of them there doing so well one of my mates is been posted to germany he's got afgan soon :) we are the best trained forces ever

  • @pagoj0 cant even compete with u.s marines

  • @pagoj0 gay

  • @pagoj0 best trained army currently, but defnetly not best trained army ever.

  • THE BRITISH ARMY ARE X FACTORS REJECTS.

  • @puddock88 how you bellend?

  • @INCk2 just watch X-factor and see. only idiots go on that show... and only idiots join the army. they fight for a country that doesn't give a fuck... and they die for a country that doesn't give a fuck... and why do u call me a bell en... do i look like ur cock... cos if i do then u should go and see a doctor....!

  • Comment removed

  • I'm almost 16 and thinking of joining the British infantry army but I want 2 no how long I will stay there for as a recruit so cheers

  • @hotfuzz1995 Good luck mate. I'm 16, I keep the army in mind but the physical aspect is, at the moment probably too much for me haha. Maybe a non-combatant role would suit me more. :)

  • @MrCommunismftw ur only 16!... why waist ur life for a country that doesn't give a shit about u??? go to college and learn something that will benefit everyone. and get a girl... shell keep ur mind occupied!

  • @puddock88 Ok... but like I said non-combatant. I don't want to die of course not but the military is about more than just war nowadays. 200+ jobs are available, from rifleman to geographical surveyor. I plan to go into college and then possibly university but the Army/Air force is only a backup plan in case I don't manage to find a job elsewhere.

  • @hotfuzz1995 Hey.

    As far as i know, you will be a recruit for 24 weeks and then you will do additional training with your actual regiment you have gone into. Then you can consider yourself a full on infantry soldier. For your age, i think you should start thinking about different things you could go into because as you probably know, theres lods of different things you can be in the infantry. Im 15 and want to be a Royal Marines Commando. I no how hard the commando course is.

  • its not fair why cant 16yr olds in the usa enlist in the military=( damn lucky british ppl

  • im from america, and i gotta say i respect u guys, were allies, so as canada

    so can we please stop fucking fighting..

  • @smellmyclock shut up!

  • @smellmyclock SHUT UP

  • @smellmyclock i agree....... it's just all those blue-on-blue's we hear about..... :p

  • @smellmyclock u should also say that in america drill sargents are not that nice at all im american as well 

  • @smellmyclock You're different every American I know is like f*ck Canada and England

  • Comment removed

  • @Itzmethatone98 I like Canada and the rest of the Freeworld. I hate Suppressive governments. Brittan and European countries aren't suppressive. So it looks like I don't hate them either. But hate is also not the proper term for me to use, I don't like to be like others who can only see in one phase of perspective. I'm from The United States to. LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

  • Sad to see 2 ally countries bashing eachother. When in reality were on the same team. What I got from this video is that the English focus on teaching thier recruits in low stress way, as opposed to in the states where its constant stress.

  • Im joining the army soon. But iv'e allways been worried about F-ing up on a parade or in drill, anyone have any advice?

  • @Gamerzwannabe dont worry i spent many hours been thrashed around the drill square you fuck up you will know about it every body tick tocks once keep them boots like mirrors. enjoy

  • @Gamerzwannabe Exact same with me!!

  • @saylikubac hahahahahahahha u got it right

  • Im 13 and i aspire to join, before you insult me i dont play video games

    The only problem is, my brother served his tour of duty and was in the tent were an afghani police officer fired a grenade, he has been a different person ever since, i don't want to be like that, can anyone help with this that has been in the same situation or has any advice

    Thankyou.

  • @RastaManTime100 lad, isn't because your brother has passed by this that you will pass, army is a good place to build a citizen, since that your country isn't at war. however think about that

  • I wanted to join the army but their outdated main rifle, the SA80 isn't compatible with left handed people and I'd have to learn to shoot right handed? pfffff

  • @privateabstract The A2 version which is the one they use is.... It's ambidextrous I believe

  • @privateabstract

    I'm sure the Army will accommodate leftys mate :')

  • @privateabstract

    Yeah you do have to learn to fire right handed, or you'll get a face full of hot brass otherwise.

  • Going to the mock selection test in 9 days, tried to do the 2.4km run but done it in 13.12mins fucking pissed. shitting myself about this run.

  • @IRELANDISMYCOUNTRY Just go there and give it your best shot, you'll probably do it a lot faster when you actually do it at mock selection. You'll have plenty of time to improve your time after mock selection, and if you practice regularly you will get your time down. My fitness was fucking dreadful a few months ago, but I worked on it and passed selection and I start basic this Sunday. IMO, the teamtasks are more important than the run anyway.

  • @MKDando Cheers bud! I'd say your fairly excited about basic. What regiment did ya join? I'm going for the Irish Guards.

  • @IRELANDISMYCOUNTRY Royal Welsh, can't wait to start basic. Good luck to you, I know you'll get there eventually!

  • @MKDando Ah man i'm defo going to pass this run mainly because I have no other choice failure is not an option. Yeah man good luck to you its gonna be a start to your life bud. I have one question tho, for the mock selection do ya wear a suit to it then change into ur PT gear or just casual clothes? I'm thinking the suit but just would like some confirmation.

  • @IRELANDISMYCOUNTRY State of mind mate. Just fucking belt it and give it your all at the final stretch. Ignore the cramp, the stitch, the headache. Just focus on what comes after you pass and if you really want it, your run time will improve. Also mate, your run time will improve on the day of the test. Everything becomes more real and serious.

  • @BunyiipProductions Cheers bud! I'm after improving already anyway but yeah im going to just fucking leg it man!

  • @IRELANDISMYCOUNTRY Very good mate, goodluck. Its only 5 days away now right? Don't push yourself too hard incase of injury.

    I'm going to be joining the Army, but I'm only weighing in at 8st11 at the moment. But I'm packing the weight back on nicely considering i was 8st5 haha. I can't wait to go to catterick. None of the bad things i hear about the army bother me. Cant. Fucking. Wait!

  • @BunyiipProductions Im at the other extreme I was nearly 14 stone and they told me to lose 3 kilos iv lost almost 5 and it makes a big difference doing the run! The thing is tho im not even fat i just have a wide build.

  • @IRELANDISMYCOUNTRY Yeah, when i went down to the AFCO there was a lad there who did a lot of weight training and they told him to lose weight because his run time will suffer. He was a little bit porky but not fat though. I need to get on these supplements. 1200 calories per serving. Cant go wrong.

  • @BunyiipProductions 1200 calories fuck man, I know a few lads who started doing all that creatine stuff but didnt exercise enough and they turned into fat bastards. I was delighted for em cause all they wanted was big arms and be the big strong guy but did nothing about their fitness. The thing is when im doing my run out the road im running up a gradual hill but it takes a lot out of ya where as when i do it in belfast its going to be on flat level ground.

  • @BunyiipProductions I'm 7.5 and 3/4. Is that too light? I'm short and light weight so...

  • @Bleakunending It depends on how old and tall you are mate. You can always go down to your AFCO (Armed Forces Careers Office) and chat with them about a career in the forces. They weigh you when you go in and tell you if you are eligible. Thats what I did, its no pressure and if you ask the recruiting sergeant he can give you some tips and advice about getting weight on etc.

  • @BunyiipProductions cheers pal. I Plan to go there.
