    I tried two times and failed. Very tough competition. But the training I did in preparation for joining nearly 4 years makes me very strong physically and mentally for other jobs later and this hope also makes lot of young boys also stay away from drugs and crime because when once they make habit of hard exercise it will be life long habit.

      I tried 3 times and failed. I cried a lot in Pokhara. My friend who stop me to cry joined French Legion.
      I kept my study on. I am doing good with my life. Financially I make not less than them. I suggest young guys, if you pass great if not then put same effort in your study and job. Your life will be even much better.

      @Cyborg Gamer give yourself some time to heal brother. It felt devastating for me when I was filtered out at pokhara, it felt like a dream for months and was on the verge of hope that they might have made a mistake and would call me back. I became incapable of separating reality and fantasy! But it took me almost 1 year to heal from this. Now I am studying abroad and make almost as much as a british soldier. So you just need to give yourself some time and be arroubd friends who supports you.

    Back in the 80's when I was a frontline soldier in the British Army, in 1985 I was in the Falklands for some months, we had a detachment of Gurkhas with us, they were so polite and friendly, I had no idea how hard they had it getting in the British army, its almost embarrassing how different it was for us British guys to get in; even to become a frontline soldiers, hats off to them all and to those that try...

    One of my friends with whom I’ve spent almost my entire school life got in the Gurkhas in this exact batch. Dude had great academics and was talented in virtually anything. I feel great for him cause he’s achieved such a rare opportunity but at the same time lil bit sad because the socioeconomic condition of our country is forcing bright youths like him to leave their actual talents and focus on all this just to support their families.

    I tried 3 years to get selected in BA but unfortunately couldn’t make it.
    All that hard training and sacrifice just goes in the vein at that moment when you are pulled out of the group and you step out of that gate.
    But it was a wonderful experience and I am really proud that I tried and gave my best.
    It’s not the test it’s the competition that makes it really intense.
    One of the Guru Ji said that “If you fail don’t be disappointed, it’s not the end”.
    To everyone who are able to get selected hats off to you and to those who fails/failed like me
    ITS NOT THE END……… YOU ARE STILL TOO YOUNG TO GIVE UP .
    After I failed I thought I was a failure but than I said to myself I deserve better. I went back to college and completed my studies. Now I am IT professional, we need to fail to succeed.

    Will Khamal retry his luck (next time)? And now that those who made it are on their way to financial freedom, how would their families' livelihood be going forward? I want to know.

    One of the reasons that India won the Kargil war was because the Gurkhas were able to scale a 100 foot wall of solid ice. The Pakistanis had left this side of the mountain unguarded because they felt that no one could climb the wall of ice. Once the Gurkhas scaled the wall they were at a higher height than the Pakistanis and had the upper hand.

    The story of the noble Gurkha people and the heroic contributions they have made to the British military has to be one of the most moving and unique of our times. The Brigade of the Gurkhas is legendary and highly respected around the world for its military prowess, fearlessness in battle, and above all, loyalty, discipline, and honor. This is what makes me so sad when I read about the discrimination that Gurkha troops have suffered and the lengths they have had to go to get equal pay, pensions, and even the right to live in the UK after their service. When I started watching the documentary, it seemed to me like it would a no-brainer that these troops would automatically qualify for citizenship. Apparently not. Yet they have been fighting for Britain for as long as the United States has been a Republic. Imagine that!
