Gonna just say it, Craig Hollman has the most comprehensive and detailed advice on the British Army on KZfaq. Thanks for this video! I have my candidate readiness event in a couple days and asessment centre in June. Wanted to ask, at our face to face nurturing / candidate readiness event do we wear a suit? Or go casual? As I'm aware we have an interview at the end of selection.

Just came across this, brilliant, very informative. Cheers 👍🏽

Great video Craig. Thank you for sharing

Interesting topic. Thank you for uploading.

great vid and keep up the good work

really informative video, learned a lot, thanks

Awesome! Really useful, thanks!

Thanks for the update 👏🏾

In Sennelager back in the 80s we had wooden lockers with the Eagle and swastika stamped on the back left by the last occupants. We still had to pay food and accommodation. Sounds like things have improved!

Great video, really informative! However one slight correction I would like to make, Windsor is in Berkshire :)

I’ve got my interview next week 🙏

Good videos Craig really appreciate them Question: what is the best role in artillery

I joined the army in 1975. My accommodation charges were £2.50 a week. My food charges were 60 pence a day.

Off topic but what’s the transition like from finishing training then going to battalion, currently just starting phase 2 at catterick

Wow!! £245 for a house in York. Thats brilliant. All the military housing in York are in the most affluent areas with great schools. You would pay well over £1000 per month to live private in the same area.

Hi, my husband applied for a royal logistics corps driver. We have two children together and live in London/Surrey. How long until we would get a house and do the bases have schools on them or will the children need to go out of the base.

Hi Craig, looking to have an interview for the uk ministry of defence for an overseas role. Accommodation is provided but not sure what this would look like. Can you shed any light?

Can you do a vid about the army air core and pilot roles please!

Thanks very insightful! However Windsor isn't in Surrey.

Hi Craig, great video. Can I just confirm you saying free accommodation for personnel over 37 years old if they have private accommodation elsewhere? TIA

Maybe do a video on different courses you can do after training like P Coy, AACC etc

Very informative videos👍🏻what you said about over 37 gets free private accommodation?? do you mean army aged 37+ renting outside privately not the army accommodation will be free ?? As in their rent will be paid off? Also how much grade A 2 bed room would roughly cost in london ??

What documents would you need to apply for army housing? My boyfriends in the army. Your videos have really been informative for us 😅

Your videos have been so helpful. What's your handle on IG or FB? I want to ask some personal questions regarding British Army Assessment

Cracking video mate , I’m soon to be joining the Royal Marines . Would this be the same amount for me aswell (providing I get my green lid) Cheers

How many times does the British Army recruit from commonwealth countries per year

I've been considering joining the Army at the ripe age of 31. I'm married and have a 8 month old child - do many people in similar situation do this? Also, how does the married accommodation work, could our child live there too?

I’m single unit flats can you bring people back to your room who’s not in the army

Does anyone know when commonwealth would be available again?

Windsor is Berkshire, not Surrey

Looking to join the Royal Artillery, got two kids and a missus, any ideas on how housing works off base when passed out of basic training?

Was the block at larkhill either 318 or 319?

How would it work with my partner wanting to join as armourer, we private rent currently and have 2 young children. Would it be a case of me trying to cover over £1000 rent myself and him gone for weeks at a time?

Hi Craig joining the army don with assessment day dawning, does your accommodation come out of your monthly pay, hoping it does I’m 18, can only afford a year of around £70 a month, if some of the monthly pay is put toward the accommodation would be helpful.

Out of curiosity, i imagine the entire military residential area has high security surveillance for obvious reasons. Does this mean you never have to worry about burglars breaking? In including those look like a normal street?

Can a married man join the British army as an officer

Hello from Indonesia ❤️

Does accommodation prices includes you eating at the cookhouse or is that a separate set of money you’ve gotta pay ??

How does it work for officers? I did a few years as a private in the infantry, and I understand that mess bills and things work differently for officers.

I'm paying £550 a month for rent, I have my assessment on Wednesday, hopefully I get in and start phase 1 ASAP

Do officer get different accommodation? Also is the Raf housing better

im moving here! did you move house?

Not been able to cook your own food.. have a toaster or basic amenities..... looks pretty but it’s terrible... like a open jail

Where are you from

I live in York and it’s at least £500 for a room lol

Hello from INDIA

I am a commonwealth citizen who wants to join and i thought accommodations are free?

How much were all ur bills together. Like wifi, electric n bla

I have various qualifications.. including a level equivalents.... but I do not have maths... Will this stop me from joining the RMP?

Hi. I have a question I’m curious about as an American. Since I live in the the best, MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY also WITH THE MOST POWERUL MILITARY THE PLANET HAS EVER WITNESSED BY MANKIND, I’m wondering if Great Britain is free like America. America is a free country where every man is equal endowned by their creator with certain……unalienable rights. It’s quite a ball living here. It’s like I can do whatever I want without a government official bothering me asking me stupid questions. Does Great Britain have certain unalienable rights endowned by your creator where every man is treated equal because since you don’t have a democracy for the people and by the people and a constitutional monarchy where your leader is born into kingship without voting I fear you country is not free like America.

Am i able to apply for married quaters after phase 2?

could a private afford and save if having a kid in a SFA ?

A shame you won’t reveal the charade of pay as you dine ....

Damn, I'm in student accommodation and it's £110 per week

I was paying £150 per month for food and accommodation in the late 1980s in the Royal Navy. WTF.
