I am 11 years old and want to be in the army and I love this channel
Thank you for your service.
I’m literally watching all these videos religiously , I am waiting for my start date to join the army as a combat medic but I’m so nervous for the fitness side of things
update!!
Update?
Update
I’m going to apply next year for the grenadier guards and at the moment I’m what u would consider overweight according to the NHS BMI so I’ve cut down on eating chocolate and sweet stuff and eating more fruit and exercising more
Wolfy 3942 if u look ok and are fit u should be fine bmi can be rubbish cos muscle weighs more than fat so u can be young but proper hench an the bmi says ur overweight. If u can run 2km without stopping an do 40 push-ups as a rep u should be good but don't stop there obviously make sure u go harder on urself ini
Fantastic video! I couldn't stop laughing when when he saw the camera and thought something was a miss lol.
I wish these videos were about when I joined. They give you such a better insight than just listening to the careers office.
Fabziy I watch your videos everyday now and they are so inspiring, thinking of joining the military as a future career and these really help ^
Leaving for my basic training soon! After religiously watching your videos it’s making me even more excited
I actually love this channel
Thank you!
I was just thinking the same thing lool
Tall Short 😁 thanks!
@@Fabziy Keep it up brother, brilliant content for anyone interested in the army
Just started watching your channel because I wanted to get an insight into what my partner is currently getting up to...great channel...great video 😊
Great to get an insight in to today's army day to day life....great camraderie and ethos still, reminded me of my own time - plus big respect for the dagger, wings and PT Corps 👌
Great relaxed video. Lure the bait in haha. Good stuff mate.
Thanks for your service I really appreciate you. Respect.
Currently pretty unfit but I'm training hard in order to join the army as soon as possible. Major respect for you all.
Me too man i finish schooling next year and hoping i can get in shape in time
@@Para-tc5uv going into year 11 soon, and hoping I will be fit enough to be able to finish basic. I really wanna get in the Royal Tank Regiment! Good luck to you man as well.
Fabziy you are a total machine, although it was a surprise seeing those hash browns left on your plate 😉
And it’s been great watching your vids, today I finally made my Army application! (just before I’m too old!)
Thank you for your service pal
looking forward to getting here on 21st April. Very informative videos, thank you!
Looking forward seeing you!!
How did you get on
Gee Rose how was it
@@everlastinggaming6507 Yh the army don't need negative and weak minded people like you anyway.
Thanks for the video and your service. Big respect 👊 I’m hopefully going to join the reserves soon I’m 34 getting an old boy lol I’ve applied and passed the first stage. I’m eligible
Great video mate, I live about 5 minutes away from pirbright camp so it's always good to see you repping the area
Thank you and thanks for watching!
V&S banners, good one! They just need a banner reminding each and everyone to actually obey 😉
lmao....they run off before u can say 2km route recce
love this video....your fineness so far
keep it coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boi them lazy!!
I'm here on the 16th July haha nervous but confident at the same time. Great video 👊
Not long to go! Best of luck!
@@Fabziy Thanks alot appreciate it.
Your still inspiring big man
Was their in 2001 ,smashed the old army fitness test that had stood for ten year .at the time ,great place..
I bet you can smash the new one too 💪Thanks for watching!
Got my AC at Lichfield tmoz. This is motivating.
Gym glammed up on the outside "BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS" on the inside, lol, how true !!😭🤣👍
Woah sergeant fabziy
Got my assessment June 6th. Cant wait. I live in Bisley and drive past the camp every morning. So excited
Luke Eaton you’ll be fine mate I passed mine in March it was a good laugh
Hi Luke. How long did it take before you are called for assessment after applying
@ Luke Eaton: Good news ?
It took a while to get my assessment date as my bmi was a struggle
@fabZiy yeah good news and bad news. The good news is i start at Pirbright on the 7th July. The bad news is i have to do a 4 week Soldier Development course to help with my bmi first. But either way i cant wait to get down and start
I remember when the old BFT was to run off hangovers,
Fabz are you a badge collector. Respect brother
Kimbi50 lol a compliment with a dig... only people who’d love to have but can’t accomplish say things like that (in my experience).
Fabziy, your ‘badge collection’ is impressive, it only shows that you’re a striver and achiever! I’d be very proud if I had those!
@@natnice5359 it wasn't meant to be a dig. Not one for bragging but I was a badge collector so cool your rarse. Its banter. I got nothing but love for my brother here and I don't hate I'm too old and successful in my own life for that.
The youth of today cant take it today not like the old days they get realy touchy when you tell them how easy it is now they dont believe you I have said it before when I joined in the 80s they were trying to get rid of you now will try everything to keep you I have seen the recent tv programmes such an easy life beds made down duvet can you do this do that please get the feeling it's a joke
7:13 was my 1.5 miler in1999 at bassingbourne. Done a spell in colchester . used to be pace setter during p.t
Great video Fabzy - Quick question: How long do you allow between completion of the 4k loaded march, and beginning the 2km best effort? I'm not sure whether you allow the class a 5 minute break, or whether they go immediately from the tab into the best effort?
I don’t miss crawling around the 50 pence piece! 😂
I’ve got an assessment on the 16th and I broke my toe but I’m resting it healing it as much as possible to make sure I’m fixed for it
You know that PTI full screw complained that he was filming at at 15:00 lol
I past out of this place on the 25th of October 1996 and it looks so different now I hardly recognize it
Pirbright change a lot, it seems as if all the old buildings have been replaced
Literally spend all my spare time watching these! Even the same ones sometimes haha! Could you please tell me the name of the track at around 2:45? Ive heard it in your other videos, im guessing it one of your own beats! Got a wicked vibe to it
Jack Fortune 😀sry I’ve lost all the data on my Mac 🙈 can’t remember thanks for watching
I can run it in 7.12 its fastest enough for everything but I can improve on it hope to get it under 7 mins with work I will be hopefully
For vids like these you should get a chest mounted for a gopro or a head mount.
Question bro
Is there any push ups,sit ups,pulls up and swimming.
How many do u have to do if there is?
Or anyway I can contact via social media?
The breakfast has come on a bit, since egg banjos and Wheetabix. :)
And the toast that's more like warm bread!
@@Mac-jr2rt ....and wet in the middle for some reason. lol.
One sausage per soldier:-)
Still running can’t wait to come, but a little less running is always good. 2.2km now it’s 2km
Well done! keep it up..💪
Thanks. Can’t wait to start there
Can’t wait to get there on the 28th August 😁 any pre-training advice?
Was that Steve Hampton doing 2k
Can you give me a honest opinion how do you feel knowing the EU will be giving you orders on the 1st Nov 2019 instead of Britain ?
You sound Jamaican
Another one being great
🔝🔝
@@Fabziy Do they serve halal food in the army as well?
Ben Official not necessarily halal food, but we do vegan 🌱 bro👊🏽Salam
@@Fabziy Thanks bro I enjoy your videos didn't think you would reply brother salam 👊 oh one more question as well how much does it cost to live on the barracks. Like monthly outgoings? Because I understand that people save a lot when they work in the army?!
@@Fabziy what cap badge are you?
When you do your pre fitness test to get in to the army, when do you do your actual role test? Because the each role requires different levels of fitness
You will do it at the assessment centre you will be told where and when you need to do it. Personally for me i went to strensall camp in york and did mine there for infantry..
Can you get plant based food in the army? Just interested, the canteen food looks well made but animal protein heavy.
Jesus. Pirbright ain’t changed. Been 14 yrs since I was at that shit hole 😂
Cookhouse tomatoes. Yummy.
If it ain't raining - it ain't training....
Do many people fail the basic training? I’m thinking about joining the army but I’m not physically fit, would you recommend waiting a year and get fit before hand
Hi Katie, good move! In my opinion it’s definitively better if you get fit before you start BT as it will help you a lot and it would be one thing less to worry about. If you watch my video ‘recruits impressions’ they all seem to agree with me 🙂 Stay tuned I’m planning to do some videos on how to get fit.
I only know that paras have the maroon beret, I don’t know anyone else who also have the maroon beret, but what is that badge? I’ve never seen that badge before.
Do you have to wear shorts?
I was expecting you explaining the fitness test.
Hasan Najim as it says in the description it’s only the route recce. There is another video on my channel explaining the full entry test, have a look
Would you still be allowed to go for the role you want if your 5 or 10 seconds off the time needed for the run
Yeah,there’s a good pass and a bad pass
Breakfast was always on the Crown!!! Why has it changed and where are the Army Chefs??
Snow flakes dont eat breakfast only McDonald's and the army spent a fortune on food that never got eaten its all pay as you go now that's why the standards all dropped these lot would never pass training back in the 1980
Hello Fabziy
I start Phase 1 training at Pirbright in June when I get to Pirbright will they make us do the Fitness test again if so will it be the old or the new fitness test?
Great videos btw really enjoying them..👍
Tobias U.K. Firstly, I’d like to say well done for signing up! From the 1st April 19 we’ve rolled out the new Physical Employment Standard (PES), so you’ll be doing the PES test - Role Fitness Test (Entry) to be precise
Thanks for replying FabZiy 👍
When are you going to do the hand to hand combat that is my favorite thing in the military
As soon as I get the opportunity. Stay tuned
Do the British army do hand to hand combat?
I hope they do or mommy or daddy will have to sort it out for them in case they get hurt
Do you take part in phys every morning during and after your phase training? If so what do you have to do every morning and is it optional if you would rather do your own training in a gym? Thank you in advance, would help to know as I’m looking at joining up next year :)
You do a lot of phys in particular in Phase 1 & 2 training, that's not optional at all! And after your training you are required to maintain a good level of fitness (need to pass the annual fitness tests) and you do what you're told to do, sounds hard but it's necessary to get you where you need to be and able to do your job. But it's also a lot of 'fun' as you grow as a person and realise what you can achieve. Good luck!
@@Nikita-lj7oo Thanks, hit the nail on its head
British army defo has some good sized meals.
Fabziy I've been watching your videos. I really need a push to help with cardio. That's my biggest challenge now. I've not been given assessment date yet and I'm training to get fit. I'll appreciate if you could assist me. Thank you
All you need to do it training for it; do long distance runs and push yourself progressively to complete the route faster. also do hill reps
@@Fabziy thank you. I'm grateful
@@Fabziy thanks a lot. Went for a run at 4:00am and it was fantastic. Thanks for the inspiration.
What's your time looking like now?
Is there a link to the different corps standards for the 2k?
Not that i know of; only internal
You have to pay for food now by card in the Army? Doesn't it get taken out of your pay?
Not any more, they introduced pay as you dine years ago. Most troop accommodation will have a kitchen area as well so they can prepare their own meals if they want.
Guess the Sergeants mess was closed that you had to go down to the slums for breakfast. :P
it was 😎
Fabian like me Miller
What happened to ,"one bacon one sausage " ?
Those days are long gone! you can have what ever you like, so from long as you pay!!! 😁
Yea, I remember that, one sausage and one bacon. Wow how much it has changed regards food. I rember buying chocolate from NAFFI to get calories in me. The food was disgraceful.
My Father came on my Pass out and got 2 sausages & 3 bacon. He was promptly told to put it back. I was so embarrassed. He couldn't believe I'd done all that training on 1, sausage and 1, bacon.
Who is responsible for checking the spelling ? Idel .... whats that ?
Do you guys have more options when it comes to eating in general? Or is it because you’re arriving late that they had little options?
Who said I'm late 😂There are a few options although I wouldn't call it a Turkish feast
Fabziy 😂😂😂😂
You have to pay for breakfast? Things have changed . . .
Wait you have to pay for you food 🤔
Can I come to you for preparation please😩
Booked assessment july 30th
Good luck & see you soon!
brian gitonga how was it bro
Kenyan?
Kariuki....yes Kenyan
Got an IG I'd like some help
Recce is the name of the legendary and unmatched South African special forces, especially back in the day. Why do they use that name specifically.
Recce means "the process of visiting and quickly looking around a place in order to find out information about it" so in this instance we went to check out the route that we could use for the test 👍
Hiya mate, at ADSC during the 2km if you stop to walk to catch your breath is it a fail or is it only the time you complete it matter, cheers man
Codey Sutcliffe it would be fine as long as you come under the time, but remember you’re being assessed! You want to put your maximum effort! Don’t think about walking, Keep going, jog if you need to catch a breath but don’t start walking. Give your 100%, train hard and you won’t feel the need to walk.
That's the right mindset!
Codey...
if you are not jogging,you are running.
Best effort mate.
Best of luck
If you struggle with 2k man you need to get out there and run 4 days a week not being able to run 2k without stopping is not good mate. A high standard of phys will get you places in the army .
Did he put his ring in the oatmeal?
Looool, a magician never give away the secret 😂
plate to food not food to plate lol :p
Fabziy am 26 and interested to join how do I go about it
Go on the army website and you can apply on there just have a look around to see what job roles interest you, me personally I'm going for the paras
In December that’s when I’m 15 years and 7 months and I’m going to apply for Harrogate afc for September 2020 for the royal artillery course. I’m just wondering what the requirements are to get in and what the assessment consists of?
Have you looked on the army jobs website?
Joseph Fawcett yea, I’ve done loads of research and I’ve seen other people’s reviews and they all seem to be different from the ones that I’ve seen so I’m not 100% sure and I don’t want to be training the wrong things so when I get there I’m useless
@@leahalexandra3517 2km run - 11mins 30, medicine ball throw - 3.1 meters, mid thigh pull - 70kg.
That's to get into Harrogate but to pass out of Harrogate your 2km run time must be - 10mins 45.
Hope this helped.
Phones on phys? Army’s changed
Thanks for watching
Can u join the army if can not drive and will the army teach u to drive
Only when you can spell a sentence properly
I’m 16 and wanting to join. Any advice?😊
Apply
Can u join the army if ur not very strong
Thomas Lake no
Tf u have to pay for food whilst u at the army? Least the gym free
🤣🤣🤣 for real
Wait why did you have to pay for that food?????
😂Nothing in life is for free 👍
How come some could drop out thought it was mandatory?
It wasn't recruits doing the RFT(E) test but staff checking out a 2km route that may be used during the test. The 2km is a mandatory test element.
Thought so mate cheers for clearing it up
I thought your food was free
As a recruit during basic training it is. But you are paid less during training than when you’re in the field army.
Waiting for my assessment date🤔🤔🤔
Use the time and prepare yourself 💪 Good luck!
Me too fab
Nee Bortie Good things come to those who wait 😁👍🏽 good luck lad!
Thanks fab. Really needed this 💪🏼
Fabzy...what will be the job roles when a candidate performs exceptionally at assessment.
Are you a commando or a para
Neither. He's in the pti corps and then he's done the all arms p-coy for the maroon beret and the marines equivalent test week.
@@droppedspaghetti8005 oh right. Thanks for clearing that up mate
Hat hunter
You have to pay for meals ? 😩
GrimMoney5o 99 As a recruit you pay for your meals but it’s instantly taken out of your pay at the end of the month. You won’t notice it gone
Kieran Gibson thanks for the clarification
Why have you a marron beret on in a training depot if your commando trained only?!
Don't make your assumptions sound like facts...
He's done Pcoy and the all arms commando course.
What a joke
Booked assessment july 30th
Ok splendid see you soon, make sure you keep fit in the mean time..💪
@@Fabziy also in on 28th July
Thanks sir fabziy.... doing well so far...... getting fit everyday
@Jesse Franz See you soon!
