I like you so much craig! I've been overweight I should say, but you have helped me loose a lot of weight and changed my life, have a good day craig.

Start my training in September can’t bloody wait, new chapter in my life and ready to do my family and the country proud

I’ve got my assessment centre on Tuesday, safe to say the nerves are up!

Big tip: Enjoy it. While you’re in phase 1 training and you’re in that bubble, it’s normal to feel nervous/scared/anxious as everything’s a rush, it’s really busy and everything’s to a high standard. Guaranteed you’ll look back and realise that it was all pretty easy, so enjoy the process while you’re in it. Anybody can do phase 1 with the right attitude to training and effort 👍🏼

Assesment Centre Passed with flying colours! 🥳 Off to catterick on the 25th October for Guards Training! 🔥 Thank you for your help & Motivation 🙌🏼

I’ve just finished phase 1 at Catterick and am open to answering questions for anyone from my personal experience also , good luck too everyone with there assessment centres 🤙🏾

Two thumbs up way up, especially about packing kit before exercise, it's a good feeling to find something straight away in pitch darkness when you need it quickly

I start my basic training on the 10th of October preparing to be a para. This videos helped me understand what to expect when I get there. Thank you!

I am in the early days of my application and have an ICD in 2 weeks! I cannot wait and these videos have been a big help, thank you for these!

Starting as a Rifleman on the combat infantryman’s course on the 23rd August. Great timing!

Did ITC in 2003, had a great time

Great advice i joined in 85, sadly before the internet and advice like this, PS I am still in and at Pirbright

Thank you so much 🙏It’s really helpful tips.. waiting for phase-1

I go in 7 weeks can’t wait

Absolutely gutted I couldn’t join “high anxiety” from like 3 years ago :/

23rd aug catterick 4 weeks to go cant wait but nervous at the same time!!!!

I’ve got my interview after I applied in April so hopefully assessment won’t be too long

Been looking forward to this one since you posted about it on Instagram!

Get a lot of waterproof bags, proper bags that won’t rip easily. Get bags big enough to fit a smock in it and get some bags just big enough to fit a notebook in. You’ll need about 15 big bags and 15 small bags. Get baby wipes to wipe off cam cream and to wipe under your arms (counts as a shower out in the field)

Anyone starting at Pirbright on 27th September?

Great video mate, some info here that you wouldn’t get anywhere else! 👌🏻

Pull ups at 15st... is just horrific for me 🤣🤣🤣

i will be doing my Army A.c on the 4th of sep in pribright and this has been helpful to prepare for phase 1 after pass.

Thanks for this, loved this video. Im off to Pirbright on 20th September to become Combat Medical Technician

Some good advice always good to get a head start or as my old instructor would say fail to prepare prepare to fail can't wait to start basic in Winchester in September 💪💪

Absolutely brilliant video 👍🏽

Loving the videos! As someone who is looking to join, any chance you could do a video focusing on those who are looking to join as an officer?

Should I still take an ironing board and an iron there not on my list of things to bring

Hello, I’m hoping to join The Corps of Army Music next year and I was just wondering if this video was referring to phase 1 in Pirbright? Would you also be able to let me know what the accommodation and utility rooms that you mention are like? Thank you for the informative video and all the best!

On my kit list it says 1200 watt iron is the maximum allowed.

AC Lichfield 9-10 September anyone?

Has the army started doing the sickle cell test since my AC date was cancelled because of the test. Im from a common wealth country

Any tips for Sandhurst?

I’m a girl but I’ve got a boys trim take it I should shave my head aswell . I’ve seen girls don’t have to but if I want to be equal and taken seriously do u think it’s best I face the clippers aswell ?

11:05 wait what I thought it was 6 months constant training and not being able to leave the base

Good tips

Is it compulsory that everyone should have an Iron or does the training centre has one for others to use ?

Mine is in just over 2 weeks from now

Powerful the british army.

ive got my kit list but it doesnt say i need to take civi clothes do i need to take some

Can you take protein powder and creatine to phase 1?

Once you’ve done your phase one training is it compulsory to join the army? or can you decide if you want to leave?

Currently at the end of week 4 at Catterick just the tabs I need to work on any tips on what to pack for tabbing my cpl said the stuff I was packing was letting me down

So do u not wear your gortex when patrolling

Craig, im 116kg in weight and ive been told i need to be under 100kg what can i do and use to drop weight, are there any fat burners that are army aproved that i can use whilst exercising?

Thx

They are not doing command tasks? Is this true then? It's just I was deferred on the tasks, due to lack of confidence. I'm just thinking if I'm able to pass selection without having to do command tasks. My CSM phoned me 3 weeks ago to see when I'm able to redo selection, but she didn't mention any changes to the assessment centre.

Ive just had a medical briefing over the phone, havent been given an assessment date yet. But did a 2km run yesterday in 14min44secs yesterday, how long do you reckon it would take to get down to 10mins if i run 3x a week?

Shall i rock up with some protein powder?

How long before training do you get the kit list ?

Im off to Sandhurst in September, thank you for your advice. How vital are pull ups, with covid i havent got a pullup bar without the gym but i can always go find a tree? Is that worth it?

I’m off to Pirbright for my phase 1 training in just 1 week I’m super nervous any advice on what it’s generally like down there ?

you think they would get pissed if I took whey protein with me on phase1

Should I bring my own ironing board? Heard loads saying that the ones there are shit basically. Don’t know how I’ll get one across on the plane lol. Cheers

I got my assessment tomorrow at Glencorse . Want to join the rifles

Sorry for the disturbance bit can I join this year as a foreigner?

Also just to let you know, for assessment centre, your not aloud to being smart stuff anymore, only aloud 1 set of PT kit to travel in and 1 set of PT kit to wear doing PT, that’s it for assessment centre

Harrogate October anyone?

Hi, I am currently applying for the Army as an officer. I will be 26 by the time I start my training at Sandhurst, providing everything beforehand goes smoothly. Do you think 26 is too old to join the British army as an officer? I would like to hear your opinion.

I’m a skinny lad and I start my training soon does that matter

Can musclar people join

The army just withdrawn my Application . When they failed to call me

Do you get paid after Basic training ?

Crow bag!!!!!

I Rocked up in a yellow shirt and jeans 😂

Are the showers open or private. Like is there walls or something dividing each one

I have some back problem! is it possible to join Army??

Do you have a Facebook I can message you on for some questions I have. Regards callum

I’ve got some advice ... stay away from ATC Pirbright! 34 DAOR’s a month tell a very damning tale about the establishment. It’s nothing short of an absolute shambles, vindictive junior NCO’s who whine about what a wank posting it is and how they can’t wait to leave the Army. Seriously under staffed with demonstrations done ONCE in front of 40 lads because they can’t knock off fast enough for the day. Trust me I know what I’m talking about, ex Royal Engineer of nine years, all arms, p-coy, PTI.

I gotta know why it's considered mandatory for guys to have their head shaved, but not for women ?
