Our daughter is at Pirbright right now. So proud, but as a mum I’m constantly fretting. She is LOVING it.
What does fretting mean? Sorry I’m American lol
@@quangos9455 It means worrying
The tash suits you. Has an authentic British army feel about it.
Haha thanks🤙
Have loved this series and this was a great one-stop for a lot of questions. It’d be nice to hear from some of the training staff and officers about what they think helps newcomers the most and even to hear from the staff going into phase 2 in various roles about what were the most important bits to focus on to excel in chosen roles, or what are common stumbling points and fixes for those going through phase 1.
Cheers Chris! Really good points, definitely will be putting out a couple of videos from a training staff point of view soon 👌
Basic training at catterick was awesome! Memories and friends for a life time!!!!
I remember my Infantry faze 1, at Glencourse, Scotland. Then faze 2, ITB Strensal.
Then Battalion, then retrained in the Signal Regimant.
There was a massive difference in the way I was treated in the Signal Corp, to the Infantry. Didn't have to pick up rubbish, accommodation was better etc...I learnt to speak and write another language. I gained a fully qualified Law Degree. My HGV Licence. Rank! Knowledge! Garrila Warfare Skills learnt in Bosnia.
The Doors were open in the Sigs, to progress in achieving your Green Lid, Maroon Berry and Sandy Berry in SF.
It was a culture shock for me to hear people speaking in a different accent in Scotland, as I had never been out of my own Town before.. it was a new way of life and a harsh reality in learning a Soldier's Foundation, to adapt and overcome any situation. They even take you further, if you Volunteer for further development , to...shall we say, reprogram your Mind with counter Beliefs etc...to make you a better killing machine, as that is what a Soldier is trained to do foremost! I've been all over Europe and Africa. Seeing other Cultures. Placing Weapon Stashes in East Germany
Establishing and evaluating "Rat Lines" in the Cold War. I've seen the Old and Bold, the difference between real Life and fictional Films.
In SF, not saying I was, but the whole Picture of the Theatre Of War and how you can achieve more success as a small team, than you would in Battalion Strength. The best Weapon System you have on the Battle Field, is your Mind! With Surveillance, comes Knowledge.
Over all, I wouldn't change my Military Career. It gave me a better, more productive Life in comparison to the dule, lonely Life I was leading...what did observe, was that Lads who had no Family, no emotional attachment, excelled in the Military Environment. There was no point in quitting, as there was nothing to go back to. You have a Roof over your Head, Food, company and the adventure!
From an injured British War Veteran
Respect to you sir from a fellow former infantrymen. Stay safe
@@jimmy2494 Thanks Brother!
Respect back to you Jimmy! An Infantry Soldier is no mean Feat...
The Field Craft I learnt in the Infantry, certainly helped me later in the Sigs.
Stay Safe my Brother and may Good Tidings come your way!
Kind regards
From an injured British War Veteran
Cheers dits
No one cares you old fart
i love how my time in the acf has made it so i understand and have done all what is shown in this video. i am currently working towards my gcses and want to get a bursary toward a medical role in the army
Oh hell I remember that casualty stretcher experience during training my arse was hanging out, to this day I don’t know how I completed it. 30 years ago, just where has the time gone but would I do it again of course I would joining up was probably one of the best things I’d ever done.
Anyone reading this and are considering a career with the best do it and stick at it and when your in training and finding things tough, dig in and don’t give up just keep saying to yourself things get easier as I progress and that tomorrow is another day make a mark on your calendar at your halfway point of training and work to that then it’s countdown to pass out parade. Good luck all and enjoy your new chosen careers.
Some things you never forget! Agree with your comment 100%, great advice
In 1978 basic training was 18 weeks. 6 months after signing up I was patrolling the Streets of West Belfast , happy days.
6 months after training?
2 weeks after training we was doing the Grand Prix
I am 15 and 6months in a month times I can start my application process and with you doing these videos it just makes me want to join even more and thank you for all the inspiration that you have given me, I don't think I would be this happy about joining if I did not see your video all the best
@@romaniemai6162 You still gunna do it?
Wait until your 18 you won't get retirement £££
For the years you serve up to 18
i was in the army and i wish you the best of luck in the career you have chosen ,its the best job there is.

nostalgic feeling... had my phase 1 @ ATC Bassingbourn 23rd May 2005
Looks so amazing, one day hopefully 🙏🤞
Enjoyed the whole series lots, great production! Sandhurst to Platoon Commander next? Would be really interested to hear about the Officer pathway and your path to Plt Cdr?
Thanks! I agree, I think that series would be great. Definitely a good idea for a video on it, a lot of others have asked also. Need to get round to it 👌
Miss being in training can’t wait to get back at it 💪 GOOD LUCK KINGS 6 💪
💪💪💪
Great video kind of the perfect thing i was looking for starting basic in January and looking for every bit of help and advice i can find 👌
Glad you enjoyed it mate. Good luck in Jan
me too mate where are you going???
Good video mate. It's interesting to see how another military works
Thanks man 👌
Bring back so many memories. Catterick, 2002.
Really appreciate your channel thanks on much
Got bravo training with the reserves in January, then hoping for the full time regular transfer later on in the year!
Stab
How does the transfer work? I'm going through reserves training now and hoping to transfer to regs at some point. Testing the water with the reserves so my family can get a feel for what it's like. Is additional training needed when transferring?
in the 1980s we never had these different phases in basic training, as we did 14 weeks in the RA at Woolwich and after pass out we had 2 weeks summer hols as i passed out at the start of the summer break, then it was off to my regiment where i learned how to fire the rapier missiles as at the time i was in 22 air defence, but the kit the recruits have today in their basic training is a lot better to what we had, and the weapons today compared to our SLRs
I loved the SLR (L1A1). I was in the REME during the mid to late 80's
My grandfather was a founding member of the SBS. He knew Ian Sterling and Paddy Maine and others who were the original members of of Britain’s Special Forces. He was originally in the Long Range Patrol Group in North Africa in WWII. He went on to become a Major, in the SBS and was awarded the Military Cross and Bar. (Which means he won it twice). The Military Cross is one down from the Victoria Cross. He was mentioned in Dispatches and is mentioned in every book I’ve read about the SBS. In some books he’s referred to as Captain Duncan because he wasn’t promoted until towards the end of the war. His name was George Duncan.
Well this is a total lie. It's the lrdpg. Go back and read the book you are copying from
Sincerely got confused with the tache Cpt wow you have changed and looking matured, another smashing video still learning thanks. Anyway you look good in both shaved/tache style anyone you decide to choose is fantastic even though am used to you being shaved yea
Got my start date October 24th at Catterick can’t wait💪🏽
You going guards ?
Remember Pirbright when it was the guards depot 1986 the drill shed and square, if anyone fainted on parade they used to get dragged into the drill shed unceromoniously to recover. Happy days. 😊
I join March 14th can’t wait
I live in catterick and see army lads all day I've grown to want to join and researching so thank you so much just can't wait until I can start my application

It is a dream if mine to join the British forces and this helps alot thanks
Brings back memories. I did my training in pirbright
i did mine in woolwich
@@davidwolstenholme3672 1998 😂 I'm getting old
Goosebumps…
Absolutely loved it, after doing basic it goes downhill hill and field army crap.
love the series but, quick tip from a sound engineer, try turning the gain down on the audio for the intro as the high volume is clipping (distorting) quite badly. otherwise though great video series
Thank you!! I’ll try it, the problem seems to be when the video is uploaded to UA-cam. On the original clip it is really good quality so not sure why it hasn’t worked - will try that though!
Many thanks for this vid, its very insightful!
Has training length been shortened in any way due to covid restrictions or is it still remaining the same?
I would assume it has stayed the same but incorporated covid regulations, like social distancing etc.
@@yesyesoyes72 Ah, cheers for the reply!
Got my trainjng start date at 3rd october 🙌🙌catterick
I’m in Harrogate and I’m coming up to my 5th exercise

Quality video,can’t wait to get stuck in, got prac next week, ps get rid of the tash
Good luck 👌 - tash decision pending 😂
@@djrxp nah the tash looks good
Phase 1 was a pisstake. Through it now tho and proud of myself excited for phase 2 😎
what a pisstake as in it was hard ?
Looking to move out of South Africa and move to the UK to serve in their army within the next 4 years. Wish me luck!
hey i want to join the light role infantry role, what do i have to do from start to finish and what could i do to prepare myself
I did mine in 1985 so totally different to today
Phase 1 was the best part of my career. When I got to my units it was extremely boring
Fantastic xxx
Does anyone know, when you go into the Gas chamber for the exposure to the gas, do you get exposed to the gas or do you keep your respirator on during your time inside the chamber, and if you get exposed to the gas, do you fully remove your respirator or partially remove it. Thank you.
So I’m hoping to go to afc Harrogate for two years until I can go to basic training just wondering what the proses when I finish there to going to basic training is as in what happens after Harrogate
Can’t wait to start at Pirbright this January
same :)
god help u 2
Your tash looks good mate. Proud you bro💪
Sssssssonko! Thank you mate, appreciate it! Hope you're doing well, the one, the only - David Ssonko👌
@@djrxp yeah sure! iam fine thank you sir. Good effort mate, all the best mate. Will inbox you to inquire about some thing.
@@davidssonko2293 For sure mate!
@@djrxp Alright mate
Flying out to catterick in two days videos are very handy.
Best of luck mate
Thanks for video. I'm joining phase 1 in a few weeks. Will there be pull ups? How many should pull ups should I be doing before phase 1?
You’ll do some PT sessions involving pull ups. Again, just get practicing them
5:05 fog looks amazing.
Amso where is this?
Where do you go after your ITC training AIT but where’s that America or
I'm X army and my training at crickhowel in South Wales which was six months, my son did his phase one in Pennycook at Glencoe Scotland after his phase one he then had to go to Catterick to do his second phase so why not complete all of the training in one place.
That YMCA cop look is going well for you lad
I can't wait till I'm old enough to join that's all I want to do with my life.
I’m 18 now I struggle with autism and depression i find eye contact and talking very hard. I want to make sure I won’t regret the next step in my life and I’m not sure if this is the thing for me. I’m just looking for advice to see if this would be suitable.
Got my selection on the 21st
I was in the British military for 5 and half years before I left due to health reasons but one thing I can say is the training is brutal and not for the average person. It’s mostly a mental warfare but never the less if you are as determined you would get through it.
Brutal for those that dont train before hand 🤷♂️ personally i found it easy
Its only brutal for the weak minded
hey. just wondering. what would you recommend for a uni student thinking about going into officer training once uni finishes? for physical training and mental training to get ready for it?
You'll need to become really familiar with the army rank structure and your role as a junior officer within your chosen corps/ regiment. You'll also need to be aware of current world affairs outside of what the UK media spews out as well as current UK deployments across the globe.
Is it possible to pass basic training without knowing how to swim? I know there’s a small swimming test but I probably won’t be able to do it would I still pass?
Like the tache
Legend 👊
Lovin these vids bro, I'm from London, and always wondered what garrison I'd go to for the phase 1 infantry course?
All infantry train at ITC Catterick
You should join 1 royal Anglian based in london
@@eurogoalshow5071 it's a thought, I'm going for paratroop regiment. I know infantry HQ is catterick, but wanted to know if the paras had other platoons or regiments around the UK. Looks like they dont.
@@shmached I just realized, it's the main centre for combat roles.
@@malikraheem3085 you done prac yet ?
Waiting for my application to go through the last bit of the process and hopefully in cattrick for the new year
Did you get in?
@@Nancy-um9us had to back out last minute due to a family issue but hopefully back in end of July start of august
@@joshchannel3337 oh sorry to hear that, good luck, everything always happens at the right time:)
Good old basic training I passed out in 1989
Hi I was wondering if you could help me with finding information about joining the UK armed forces from a comenwelth country
Hi, here is a link to a section of information about the commonwealth, straight from the army's website.

What do you enjoy about exercise, I despise it like app the cold wet days it’s so boring
Anyone attending upcoming assessment centre in December? I’m off to mine 02/12/2020
Wish you luck hope you get in
@@leoskinner5690 thank you mate!
Yh I'm going to Pirbright tomorrow. Good luck with your assessment
@@NoLimits02 wishing you the best!
@@officialalz6020 how'd it go mate
Waiting on my medical forms, hopefully be away on basic early February after assessment centre in January
How did it go mate? I’m waiting on my medical forms, should hopefully get to assessment centre around feb
@@scotty18ize assessment centre is in 5 days mate, was supposed to be 2 days ago but there was a balls up with the covid questionairre so it got put back a week
What should I bring when I go
I have around 7 months until im i start phase 1, im currently working my ass off and eating healthy to pass everything phase 1 throws at me, im so nervous
Be confident and prepare well. You’ll be fine!
djrxp thankyou that means alot coming from you, part of what has gave me more confidence to apply, your great, keep it up mate
Really appreciate that, thanks! Best of luck 👌
Don't sweat it bud! Yes it's nerve wracking but within 2 or 3 days you realise that everyone feels the same as you! Then your confidence will build as you have put effort in before joining, get some tabbing in before you get there, you might not like it but it will dividends in the end! What you joining and good luck bud!
@@user-lf3wr8rh7r what is tabbing?
I’m doing my phrase 1 on Sunday and I’m terrified.
so am I 👍🏽
Good luck how was it?
Where do people who want to be in the reme train?
How many did the british army recruit from commonwealth per year
My daughter is not long from starting her Phase 1 training, at least now I know a little bit of what she'll have to go through. Thanks for sharing.
Tell her not to bother
@@grenadier39Why not?
How does th royal signals allow this?
Hey you lot I beg you answer a question of mine. I'm a German citizen I haven't ever lived or even visited the UK. But I want to join the British military. Is That possible at all?
Some gear change from my time, but still the same, sadly too many comments that failed to see the superiority of Winchester 😂
Question.
I am from South Africa, when I apply online on the app, where do i go after that? When would I have to arrive in the UK and where would i have to go to once in the UK?
Bro, it is still closed for Commonwealth.
@@babayega1914 I'm asking about when it opens again
How do you get into your role/ the role of the Corporals training the new recruits at ATC Harrogate/ITC Catterick?
Or even Harrogate/Catterick permanent staff team
You are selected to be an instructor at a training establishment after serving with your unit. Typically, the corporals that are trusted to train recruits at ITC are among the best corporals in the Infantry
@@djrxp Thank you ever so much!
One last thing. Other than ETS and RAPTC are there any other regiments that only specialise in that sort of subject/department
Hey guys mean anyone give me some tips because In secondary school we can join the British army,‘rains and raf but there are some problems one I’m kinda fat and I’m not at fit or fast as the other kids but I got strength second reason is I had a fractured knee that lead to a 3 year recovery whilst sat on my ass doing nothing I’m still recovering to this day but around 2017 I did bbj and judo and some boxing I was good at them until covid hit my clubs shut down and I was thinking of joining to see what it’s like and my last reason is so I can get stronger not show my muscles to girls cause I’m kinda ugly to be honest but to feel better of myself but I’m general joking the marine or army is just a personal dream of my I don’t think I will achieve should I join or not just leave some tips if you can please
what are the different berets because some people have a normal green one and other people have one with a feather
Depends on the regiment/corps, some have feathers for tradition
How does phase one of paratrooper training differ from what these have gone through in phase one?
It’s the same, all basic is the same
They just do an extra session at the end. So basic will probs last about 2 sessions split up within 6 months, each session or phase being 3 months, paras have to do an extra phase resulting in 3, 9 months. As opposed to regular infantry and other branches that just do the 2. Some do just phase 1 I think
Hi I start in February starting to get kit together just bought myself an iron, I see online that you don't need to bring an ironing board but in the vid seen someone carrying one, should it be on the list?
I’d say bring one, it will make your life a lot easier as you will do a lot of ironing!
@@djrxp thanks much appreciated
Question, if you want to join is the only infantry training centre based in England or are there any others in the rest of the UK?
For Infantry training, there is just the one.
I should add I haven't been to school since age 11 can't even remember my multiplication tabels
Keep the stache! And if you have one when you join do you have to shave it off? 😭
Haha I might! Yes, when I’m training you will be clean shaven unless for medical or religious reasons
What regiment where u in
Edit: and what role
What made you to enlist in the British army? I fully respect our. British allies
Pointing your weapon at the ground on the Range and a guy stood there with his hat off and his hands in his pockets. Times have definitely changed.
Hey u got a nice video here. Any requirements for an immigrant joining the british forces? Any advice
Yes just like the us army. You need green card as a legal immigrant.
What happens if you can’t swim in basic training
Iam applying straight after xmas sick of my lifestyle and if anyone can change who iam they can not going to lie iam so terrified
How will I join
Brit troops are good but a long rifle with a long bayonet suited them better. As the brits love the bayonet in battle and with a long one you can get several enemies at once.
Just a small point to correct your opening remarks : Phase One training at Catherick for the Combat Infantary Course (CIC) is nothing like Phase One training at Pilbright. Absolutely, nothing with in terms of the design, intensity, tactics to be used as a Soldier, fitness tests, longivity, number of exercises, content of the exercises, etc.
CIC is 6 solid months of hard training that will make most grown men cry - I mean, literally. I say it because I was there in 2005 for my training to join 1LI (now called The Rifles)
I rebatched and was asked to go back to Pilbright. My time at Pilbright, not to diminishe its merits or take anything away for dedicated men and women joining from civvy Street to Pilbright , nothing can compare it to CIC ;I found it very easy - thanks to prior hard 6 months training as an Infantary Soldier I gained at Catherick. It was tought at Catherick but thoroughly enjoyed and will do it again. Good luck everyone joining HM Armed Forces(Army), it is The Best decision you will ever make. I miss it dealy.
As I was looking to get into the intelligence corps or something technical. However, only thing stopping me is the combat type training so I want to know if I will have to do combat training at all?
One role I was looking at is “operator technical intelligence” and it says for phase one Winchester or pirbright if u know what any of them will contain could u please let me know, thanks
Hard training easy butter
It's always be my dream to be a soldier to severe and protect life's. Please I am from Ghana and I always wanted to be in the British Army, how do I join from Ghana as a commonwealth citizen.
