They are so annoying but if you put the striker on the hard edge of your boot and strike it then it should be easier to get going.

Just buy a lighter or wind proof lighter

@Kieron ZX it depends on who you have if I'm honest corporal wise but yes I think you're mate my advise is get to get 2 lighters put them together each facing each other then tie them together with some tape, but I don't think you will need it for your assessment tho that's just medicals and fitness more for basic training ie intro ex1 and every exercise after that. Good luck tho what regiment do you want to join?

@@kz023how’d you get on bro? I’m in the application process right now.

@@ClubsOGhow’s the application going? Currently doing same

Odaine Roberts I've known a load of people in the British armed forces from the West Indies! Glad that you guys are still with us! And that you still look to Britain as friends! Your always welcome here anyway! We love having people who love the nation and it's amazing that foreigners are willing to fight for it as well! I hope you get in, it's a lot easier now that the restrictions to commonwealth citizens have been dropped. What's the opinion of the Brits in Jamaica? I've always heard it very positive anyway! I even heard that a lot regret independence? Any truth to that? I've always wanted to go, it's seems like an amazing place with an amazing culture!

@@keithwatson1384 I work for a lot of Britain's and returning residents. They love it here the sunshine, beaches the food and the culture you name it. Some even say that the houses that they have build here they could never afford it in the UK. Keith Watson if it's your dream to visit just go straight for it. Some of us work very hard to be where we are right now, and at the end of life only two things matters, how well we have lived and how well we have loved.

Where did you apply as a common wealth resident

@Dogs Bollocks shut up he can join where he wants you idiot

@Dogs BollocksIf hes willing to defend the country hes more than welcome to come, alot of brits wouldnt even serve if WW3 started.

Jog on

Yes that's how it should be! What I would love to see is one of these (black) men become the FIRST British Army RSM in history....guess i'll have to wait for couple more decades to see that though!

@@scotsman8887 yeah thats really not true is it? Paras do harder phys get constant thrashings have our morale sucked out to get you there.have miles higher standards on everything. Why do only small anounts pass out compared to the regular infantry. Every single bloke who leaves para depot to go the other side say its ridiculously easy. Not the same at all

Your 4 years are up, just wondering how you found it and if you’ve decided to keep going?

Adam Woodford 😂😂😂

Charlotte Ballard Well aren’t you a hero.

Adam Woodford REMFS the lot of them.

The Dahlia like nobody here wasn’t a REMF on the first week of basic their basically still fucking Civi’s don’t act like you where Rigid on Day 1

Absolute 🦎 lizard. Someone help him out

I "Passed Out" in A.T.R. Glencourse, in Phase 1. Before moving on to I.T.B. Strensil, as Phase 2. Infantry. That was in 93. Then Signals and many doors open to further your skills. I took to it like a duck to water. I am a qualified H.G.V. Professional Driver and hold a Law Degree with (Hons). I can "Touch Type" 47 Wpm. I hold an Undergraduate Degree in German and I can obviously speak the Launguage with a Southern Dialect. I can also comunicate in French, Spanich, Russian and Pashtu. I am Culturally Aware one may say. A also posses naturally, Mental Stamina like a Duracell Battry, allways that little further. Nevertheles, I am Mentally and Physically scared through Service. I have one Friend left, who I check on nearly everyday and I Can't even find employment!? But hay, Honking helps and this Machine will never stop. That was the biggest asset the Army ever helped me develop. The rest, the Army Gave me! All's I know is War. I thrive in demanding and harsh environments. Living off the land, using nature as a friend. Watching the Wild Life and awareness of local culture to the population in which one would Operate in, has allways paid dividends. I'm still here. Just one negative is a thought, that may be counteracting with a positive. I understand my Place in Life. Only break glass in time of War. We adapt and overcome the Civilian adversity, but a Soldier will always be a Soldier. We know we are different than most of the population. We wait as a Grey Cloud, always ready to Serve Queen and Country...this is all I've ever known. The only enemy is Time itself. The more time you use, the lonely we become. No one beats the "Clock" which is frustrating, but hay, we came alone, but we go out as part of a larger Family. It's good to know that when that Dark Side comes calling, the "Assosiation" will not allow me to leave alone. I will be carried by the Family I earnt my place to be amongst. I feel proud of that. We are never alone...but I miss my Friends who were beside me...memories are all that is captured in the end, that no one else will ever experience, other than those who were at your side. I have a "Cabby" with old age. I am glad I belong to something Special that only few complete, for the benefit of those we keep safe.

@@stevenhenry7862 Glencorse.

ragandoil it’s *Fiji

I'm the same Brother. The Government don't or have any care after a Soldier leaves. Standing the Line, that most Politions wouldn't even have the Kahoonies to stand at, in the name of sacrifice. They switch us on, but dont switch us off. For those who have placed their selves in an unselfish position, placing the most valuable assest in the Line, should NOT have to pay any Taxes, as fare as I am concerned.

Steven Henry taxest pay for national health, fire and police services as well as a bunch of other things. Everyone who lives with and uses the services provided by the government should pay tax

@@PorWik what if any, recognition would you suggest?

@@stevenhenry7862 I reckon parades show soldiers off enough and remember that most soldiers join the army because either they want to fight or because they have no other choice. Theres no real easy way except for things like veterans day or things like that

@@PorWik If WE wouldn't have Veterans wishing to step up to the plate, there would have been no Empire, there would have been no today. Says a lit. I personally feel Veterans are worth a lot more. I also feel that we could learn a lot from how the America treats their Veterans. Do you by any chance you work for the Government?

Also there kit looks so mutch better ngl

Depot is still nails from what I've heard

@@PeterParker-hj2ff Catterick is still shit, agreed

BenGunns Well said! Thank you for watching 👍🏽

Much Love. Will do Brother. Stay Blessed

Appreciate it!

Rhys Young have you been on any exercise ???

Ethan Pilling na mate im a cadet

@@Youngy15 😂😂😂

Just got off attack 1, jesus christ it was bogging.

The feeling afterwards is the reward itself, it gives you confidence and you feel like you could do anything, especially after the super heavy workout you were unfamiliar with

not good advice. i snorted some screech and found myself sucking off a badger 3 clicks North East.

That's some great advice

Nah eat the screech with your spoon

Screech? What the fuck is that?

@@cjtn10 drinks powders

Good Advice! 👍

The actual "exercise" was just an overnight stay in the woods.. wasn't even 4 days lol

@@pete3816 cool bro

😂😂😂

the toughest part was probably getting used to shitting in the woods. I hated that.

@Ben Potter shit does seem difficult to squeeze out with someone staring at you.

Thanks, glad to hear that! Please share to help others!

What date do you start. I pass out of pirbright on 31 st may

I start on 26th

Thanks for watching, glad the videos took away your anxiety. Best of luck!

@fabziy I’ll should be there 23rd June

music Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and dStY tuned for more 👍🏾

Fabziy hopefully I’ll be at Pirbright in 2 or 3 years after I complete military preparation college, watching these videos are making me want to join now but because of coronavirus I don’t want to risk it

Good luck! Never Give Up!

Mental Stamina is the Key! Once you start something, finish it, even if you don't like it or feel it not necessarily to carry on. One foot in front of the other and push yourself that little bit further.

Let me give you a bit of reassurance. I am a 19st bloke, technically I am 'obese', and I can run for 30 minutes fine. When it comes to running it is essential to prepare, because your calves will be in agony to begin with. Once you have worked the muscle a bit and built it up, it should be too much trouble.

I can’t run 😭

Skipping will help your running.

Always

That's indeed a great advice! Thanks & hola back to our German brothers 🇬🇧🇩🇪

In the Irish army were never aloud get into the sleeping bag without having our boots on incase we get “hit up” by the enemy on our exercises ..annoying lol

@@Anthony.462 We had a certain period of time when our alert post fired a shot or alerted us via the radio to wake everyone up, dress and move into position. We had very cold nights in the Eifel so it was very important for us to stay warm the whole time. That's when we found out the body temperature thing.

thomas tom well theres gonna be a time were people are going to eat and chill

low7782 ay, 8 years infantry. Certainly wasn’t sitting around glamping on day 4.

@@tremblayalex8915 they are in training mate, they have no idea yet what it's all about, they don't even know how to put on the kit yet, but that will change, and by the way I served 13 years in the army, not having a go at you but it's all new to them.
