Hi Sam, I would really feel like a Criminal Convictions and the British army video would really help a few of us young lads out who took a wrong step in life and want to strive and be on the right path, be the best version of themselves. Cheers.
I will look into it mate
The pay increase that was meant to go live on the 01 April was meant to be 3.75%. its now being looked at again cos of the cost of living. So its got to be higher that 3.75%.
Hopefully
That was the pay rise for 22/23…
The apparent reasoning for the delay in announcing the raise is due to people arguing for more in top brass due to effectively being the government stop gap when anything goes wrong.
With the way other public sectors raises are looking and the effect their strikes had and armed forces back filling public roles it should benefit armed forces and should potentially get 4-5% (armed forces can’t strike I know) despite the ‘armed forces package’ being the go to reason for lower pay. They could never let the pay rises/gap for armed forces grow too much from other public sector or as people have shown they will simply leave or not even apply to join in the first place.
There was no pay rise announced for Apr 1 this year, the report was originally supposed to e presented at the end of may, however now it looks like the report will be presented and pay increase decided upon immediately before the parliamentary recess starting 19th July.
Tnks comrade. I have got my start date next month. Im going for foot guards. Please can you do a video or give me some information regarding.
Kind regards
Great news, they should have a website with all the info you need on it
Thanks Sam great stuff as always!
Thanks for the kind words 🫡
Please send your thoughts to the families of JW and IA who unfortunately took their own life this week...They made it clear they were struggling to support their families from a far on such poor wages and poor overall prospects. RIP guys. Please support their families where you can and there's a go fund me for IA to be going live soon when permission is granted.

food fuel increased by 10%. military pay expecting to increase by 1 or 2 %. Joke. and always mourning about military got accommodation food... very near future militry will be shortage of best people,.
Sorry the rot set in at the beginning of phase 1 redundancies. I can’t get over that he is trying to put a positive spin on 1-2%. Unreal
This doesn’t involve this video but do u have to do the milltary swim test (basic trading)?
I think so
Got my assesment days at pirbright this easter holidays, looking forward too it. need 6.6 on bleep test and i get 11.5
Good luck buddy
6.6 I am now disabled and could probably get that. No standards
I'm loving your new videos! 👍
Cheers my man🫡
Hi Sam, would you be able to explain the difference between: regiments, work groups and how you pick your regiment, when you pick your regiment in training. I'd appreciate if you could drop me a comment, I'm still trying to get my head around regiments and work groups are the same or different mainly.
They are different sizes. I have a video about it all on my channel that will really help you out
If its less than 4% people will leave in droves. We already cant retain people 4% minium and even that is a pay cut as inflation is so high.
The fact it’s taking so long makes me think it could be quite low
Well said should be 10%
Can you do a video on dog handlers and MWDs? they seem like a really cool part of the army
I will have a look mate
Thank you
Waiting time for that trade is crazy long.
hey sam great vid! May i ask a question?
In unit after phase 2 are the rooms all 4 man / 10 man rooms or are they single rooms?
Should be a single man room at your working unit if there are enough available.
@@MilitaryFitness thats brilliant thank you!
is it same for signals?
@@westay4924 yeah
@@MilitaryFitness thanks sam have a great day!
Hey Sam. Got my assessment on 31st of May. Going for the Infantry. Got a couple of questions.
1)How long after the 31st of May can I expect to start my phase 1 at Catterick?
2) Once I'm done with phase 1 and let's say I go for Mechanised Infantry (Fusiliers or 1 Yorks) , do you think I'll get a single man room? During phase.2 that is
1.) depends on availability but should be a month or two.
2.) Phase 2 will prob be shared rooms.
Best of luck.
Phase 1-2 in catterick you’ll be in the same accommodation. All your mech inf or armoured inf stuff will be taught in unit
Alrighty, thanks guys :) Too bad I won't be going to Bovington then :( how is out there at Catterick after Phase 1? Does it get more relaxed or no?
Also guys! Do you think 28 is too old to be starting CIC at. Catterick?
I really really wanna go for it but want to screw up my future or anything. If I work hard enough, can I make it to Sergeant in 5-6 yrs? I'll be getting married next year. So there is that too.
I think this one will be significantly higher, my guess is 5%.
🤞🏻
Hi Sam! I was wondering how likely it is that the army will fund your degree? I’m wanting to do a construction based role and the degree I’d want funding does pertain to construction, would it be likely that they would fund it if I was to do a return of service in exchange?
Yeah, you can do that but I think you be best to go into the recruitment centre to find out how.
The recruitment office will have the complete up to date information regarding this. Below is some idea of what you can get but don’t take it as gospel.
Some trades/roles require university level education and as such will support education as part of training. (From memory this is primarily Med roles like nursing, this may of changed)
Some roles further down the line such as supervisory roles (for which you have to do military run courses map closely or directly across to university courses and as such require very little funding/additional work if any to gain the qualification.
The ELCAS scheme is also available which can be googled to find out all the information.
Hiya Sam I got a couple of questions for beep test training could u do uphill runs on a treadmill and would it be as effective and 2 could u possibly do a video on uphill training workout
I'm going to be doing my fitness assessment soon so this could really help
Uphill treadmill workouts will be great. Just 20 mins will be plenty
@Military Fitness do u recommended doing 20 mins straight running on a uphill or a incline treadmill or spacing it out so 5 minutes run and them a minute rest and then repeat that like 3 or 4 times
@@darkburst9059 yeah, try and do hill sprints on there
@Military Fitness thank u ill try and do them on treadmill thank u
Great vids mate, thinking about TA whats the score with courses can TA now do any regular course eg if your 4para can you do sniper course or if your 131 RE can you do dog handler course? what is the score with PTI civi qulaifcations and joing the PT core direct which I understand is possible? do they have a reserve PT Core element? and any update on the ranger regiment be cool to interview someone off camera whats the score is like green mil skills like when usa sf green berets go train local forces that kind of job role and are they doing halo / haho jumps? thanks mate appreciate your knowledge im ex army.
I think the reserves can do most courses.
@@MilitaryFitness Awesome could you get clarification that be great. The PT Core direct entry. new rule could you cover the info be interesting.
Not based on any research..just some personal opinion..1-2% rise is negative in real terms..
It has been for ten years! Think about the life you want to live before signing up!
How can I join the UK military while am in Ghana please
You will have to go onto the British army website
@@MilitaryFitness so this year will they take people outside the country
@@davidyeboah3295 it’s taking a long time at the moment but you can still apply
Is it true that a number of roles you can enter with just knowing a foreign language, and without a-c in English maths science. yes or no ?
I think for most language roles you may still need to have a c in some subjects
@@MilitaryFitness I have double c in science, d in maths, e in English. I've heard that they can make people do a numeracy and literacy test, if the grades don't quite matches up, or send people to worthy down just north of Winchester where they have army education based. Which is near me, I don't know if that would be quicker than adult education classes, although I don't have a job, and I need some job to join the reserves, not sure what job would be good with no qualifications, that isn't terrible and maybe that would be helpful to military maybe. As for roles i like the sound of combat medical technician but I'll be to old in 1 year and 11months to join for that role. What jobs do people joining the reserves usually do? any with jobs that have no qualifications or experience? If so which jobs. Oh, and the language I'm learning is japanese.
Hello mate, I'm 23, have worked for 6 or so years in sales in property development. Would love to join up for the lifeskills and the experience. What would be the best for me, thinking about transferable skills in the real world....
You can really do anything now in the military as they have loads of options for professional development for civvy street. You could go the cyber route though in the signals
Get a move in you are getting old.
@@mairiconnell6282 that's rich from someone that looks as old as you
Hi Sam. I just want to congratulate you on the British battle of Waterloo defeating hall of fame army general napoleon Bonaparte. Very interesting how you, the British army won. Just watch the movie napoleon And you’ll see how.
Thanks
Hii Sam
I'm International student in UK so can I join British army now or After finishing my master's if yes so how can I join?
Go onto the army website and try and email a recruiter
@@MilitaryFitness thank you dear
Do you think cyber engineer is a good role ?
Yes mate. Good promotion prospects too.
@@MilitaryFitness Thanks. do you know any other roles that have good promotion prospects as well?
@@JavierUKWithCat ammo tech and the int corps are good
@@MilitaryFitness cheers. Out of the 3 options I can only try for cyber as its a priority role right now. Since I was not born and raised in the UK so the options would be limited for me as I might fail security clearance.
@@JavierUKWithCat cyber will be great mate.
Sam thanks have left the Army now?
Couple of months left
Hello sir
Very important question i want to ask you
What if my english is not that good like english people but I understand and speak lilttle bit
Can i still join the British army ?
Yeah but you may have to sit a test before you join
@@MilitaryFitness Alright .Thankyou sir for information 🙏
The pension pot has been raided and relies on outside resources to deliver so don’t hold your breath on that one.
It turned out ok
Hopefully it’s 1 or 2%? Your joking man. It should be at least as much as whatever nurses get. They are the ones that get to go home every night, don’t eat shit scran etc could go on 😂
I have had so many zero percent pay rises anything would be great
@@MilitaryFitness I feel your pain
You reckon 1-2%, you are way off the mark with that pal. Will be 4-6 % no dramas
Hopefully I am
Can you assist me to join the royal army?
You need to go onto the British army website buddy
Can someone join royalmarmy of they have a birth mark?
Yes they can
Thanks I applied this month waiting for feedback.
@@gilbertodongo856 good luck 🫡
"Armed Forces to get 22% pay rise"
I love you Sam.
Thanks buddy
Mate, get out of your room, your clearly in Aldershot in you 2mx2m room. The pay in the Army is decent, however the x factor has gone!
Incorrect location
If it’s backdated then it will push some into a higher tax bracket. 1% leave!!!!!! Incremental pay rises because no to little means many are at the top level so nowhere to go. I am astonished that you seem happy at 1%. I find it a disgrace complete disgrace. Anyone serving get your chit and leave. Sorry not much of a report!!!
It turned out a lot better
In short nothings changed and coming on top of the negative news re: the state of the singles/married pads accommodation which was never resolved from the last report on the armed forces covenant ! noted that the Army chief at the Land Warfare Conference 2023 followed on from his last landmark speech said ,With £2billion being spent on refurbishing accommodation, access to wraparound childcare and through Programme CASTLE and the Talent Management System, Regular, Reservist or Civil Servants will have greater ownership over their careers to ensure that the right person is in the right role.. “Finally, I am determined that we maintain our commitment to our soldiers and Civil Servants. When, like so many of our international partners, we are faced with a highly competitive market for talent, we must do our utmost to recruit our nation’s best.” .... pay and conditions ???
In closing, he said: “Let us ensure that when our Army is next asked to fight on behalf of the people of this country, it is as best prepared as it can be. For this is the Army that our soldiers and our nation deserves.” ..... All of the above when it is reducing the size of the army from 82,000 to 73,000 trained regulars whilst still facing a massive shortfall in recruitment ! still one thing is guaranteed ! the index linked pension which will have seen a %17.5 rise 2023-24 dependant on rank and length of service and which is today one of the most generous pensions available in the UK
