3:43 Exactly what all school kids need to know rather than being told to go to University (to get a 2:2 from what used to be a Polytechnic in a subject that's of little or no value in the work place).
I did my apprenticeship with a pair of founding members of the REME, WW2 veterans of Normandy & northwest europe. They used to say REME stood for Rear Echelon Mostly Eating.... then i found out that the pair of them were combat recovery specialists, in the thick of the fighting, tough fellers that taught me well, thanks for everything Frank & Colin, RIP.
This kind of advertisement for the armed forces is the perfect example of how our military should be influencing our younger generation to join them, not the wish-washy namby-pamby woke brigade advertising that is currently being used on tv and social media, perhaps this type of documentary/recruitment film should be being shown in our schools and colleges, it is no wonder that the current armed forces are undermanned, and as a veteran of 24 years service myself I hope that the new government will put a renewed emphasis on recruitment and paying a decent wage.
1977-86 REME TA, I was Civilian Qualified City & Guild Motor Vehicle Engineer, I took my skills to the Army, and got the benefit of, doing my job in a field in battlefield conditions, So no pressure, right enough of the bull, I'd always wanted to be a soldier, My Dad was 17yrs RE, Life took me away from the Regs, So I found a way to serve with a BOAR reserve Batt. it's a close as a TA unit could get. to front line, We were in Germany working up, to replace front line unit due to go the Falkands, when End-Ex was called
What really blows me away, is that all those young fresh faced kids are now all in their 70's or 80's......can someone please slow down the march of time, it's flowing way too fast for my liking.

Lol😂
shame about the Iron Hooves and Women in Comfortable Shoes that actually served in those days? ( my time, 1975-99)
my father was r.e.m.e and he used to tell me the words on his stable belt meant " twist to open"
What else would it mean?
