2 жыл бұрынWhat is a Typical Morning in the Army? | Infantry Platoon Commander
Hi everyone - I have had a lot of requests for this type of video so I thought I'd show you all what happens in a typical morning in the Army when in camp, through the eyes of a platoon commander in the Infantry.
It usually starts with PT and in this video I jump on a company/platoon run with C 'Essex' Company, 1 Royal Anglian. Details of the run:
- 4 miles steady state
- 8/8:30 min/mile
- 1 water stop
Fitness is a big part of Army life, particularly in the Infantry. So doing some sort of PT happens most mornings.

Meanwhile in the lower ranks block. The lads are heaving from going out on the lash the night before and ushering out some pad brat or slapper they brought back the night before. Skipping brekkie and running on pure alcohol and spewing up all the way round the PT course. I miss them times haha..

Have the British Army scrapped uniformity these days? It would always be on the Company's daily detail what the OOD would be for PT (Issued green T-shirt/Company T-shirt, navy shorts, white socks) and god help any man jack that didn't observe the daily detail.

Wow you guys are very lucky, you wake up at 6.30 and your working hour is at 8. Meanwhile in my country, military personnel wake up routinely at 5 am and they jog when the sun is still not up yet, then they have the platoon assembly every morning at 6 am. And btw, quick question is that I noticed you guys run with different sets of clothes and some have long hair.. are you running with your own platoon or maybe are you running with other units? 🤔 Thanks in advance 🙏

Oh so different from when I joined the Jnr Para Coy as a 15 year old in 1972. Then when we ran in the mornings it was in full combats and DMS boots, bunny hops and casually carrying along the way. We lived approx 14 to a room and we where constantly hungry. No helping yourself to portions then, a untrained cook would issue with the portions, try and steal another sausage and you would get a ladle over your wrist. No doubt the army has evolved but turning up without the uniform running gear would have ended up with you on a disciplinary and extra PT

I'm calling, with respect Sir, bullshit that you start the morning with a shave!! You're an infantry platoon commander, if you didn't start your morning with a swift ham shank then you must be married!! In which case Mrs Rupert would've started your morning for you!! Surely!!

@@djrxp maybe a video showing actual platoon command on camp would be more informative. I like the concept but I feel the title of this vid is slightly misleading.

Just one observation all that running on hard surfaces going to wear down joints knees ankles real bad, end up at this rate early onset arthritis age 40. Why not use treadmills or bicycles for exercise keep soldiers fit but preserve joints
@djrxp 2 жыл бұрын
In fairness, a good point. And we do use treadmills and bikes now and then, it's not always road running. But considering how many of us there are that are doing PT everyday, it would require a lot of equipment that isn't available and is largely impractical.

Not s good as being a chef in the Royal Navy! But, ignoring that, the standard of a chef will change unit morale like nothing else. Good ones are worth their weight in gold ... bad ones are a freaking nightmare.
