Corps of Royal Engineers - Follow The Sapper Part One | Reserve's Combat Engineer Course
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- This video is the first instalment of our vlog collection. It will consist of diary type videos created by our Sappers in the Royal Engineers. The 1st series is created by Sapper Morris-Patterson, who is a Reservist that has just started her Combat Engineers' Foundation Course.
The course is designed for Reservists and is delivered by 3 Royal School of Military Engineering Regiment over a two week period. Compared to the Regular soldiers' Combat Engineer course, which lasts ten weeks.
Watch out for part two next week!

Still in the RE Army Reserve myself, and really enjoy it. I did my concretors course couple of years back at 3 RSME.
Currently in the Regular Army with the Signals. But... this looks like a really good course. Completely transferrable and highly useful skills. Her point about knowing how stuff around the house works is spot on. Even just basic plumbing or tool skills are worth their weight in gold.And what’s nice is that you’re PAID to learn it all. Win Win. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Makes me want to re enlist in the reserves
Can’t wait to finish school and join up
Chloe, i have enjoyed 24 years in the forces as a regular soldier and 3 years before that, as a reservist. Its a good life, there are ups and downs, more ups to be honest. The opportunities that are available are unrivalled and cannot be matched in civilian guise. I thouroughly recommend it. I would do it all over again given the chance.
@@steffiebee5224 good to know 👍🏼
What job were u in like
Completed Field training back in the 1970s, a lot has changed since then. I'm sure mostly for the better.
Jnr ldrs regt re joined 76
Did 3 Reg in 86 5 Troop 55 then 56Mt Church Crookham then posted to 38ENGR RGT 32FD SQN 👍👍loved it
Changed a lot since I joined as a TA SOLDIER IN 1982....
For better or for worse?
Going there next month, apparently they got new accommodation
You should be proud of her
Looks good
hi as a PHD holder surely your officer material - (RE veteran)
Do reserves get RE stable belts from the start of training? I know regular forces only recive after passing 12 week combat engineer course.
Can I join from a commonwealth country
Does the London EOD 101 do this training? Or is their training different?
Her Majesty’s Corps was amazing, I say was as I felt the standards dropped severely once females were allowed to join the ranks. Nothing against them being able to think on their feet but the sheer physical aspect of the job the women simply couldn’t do.
We are front line (in front of the front line on occasion) we have to be at our strongest 100% of the time.
I was at Gib Barracks in 1984, still looks the same, apart from now there's women there, as Sappers!!!! Never in my day!!!
I was there in 82
No carpets in 84😂 and no recruits bimbling about because the NCO's were always on the prowl.....
really, put your berry on right
god i hate those mag pouches.
See you can still serve if you fail Gunner selection their is no shame in being 2nd best 😂😂😂
Really fuffing really this is not the corp l served so disappointed this is what l feared we became
not another female, men not wanted in the army now,
If you’re female you’re neither a Sapper or a Combat Engineer. Completing a lesser course then males doesn’t count. Do some mgb, hgob and carry some hayricks. Absolute joke.
An out dated, uneducated and sexist comment that shows you know nothing about team work or the inclusive ethos of the Royal Engineers.
@@CorpsofRoyalEngineers Absolutely correct 100%. I serve with females that are integrated heavily and just as part of the troop as any male. I'm glad the likes of Iron Hand are no longer a part of the Army. Ubique
@@CorpsofRoyalEngineers Not really, just not the PC agenda driven nonsense that you and much of the world now pretend is real. Reality on the other hand is entirely different.
The Royal Engineers was one of very few roles where women were not allowed, for good reason. I remember doing a CFT and for some reason we had some women doing there's at the same time with us... carrying ZERO weight.
If you cant complete 8 miles carrying just 35lbs, how can they be part of a "team" in a four MAN lift building say an MGB bridge (or any other task where strength is a primary requirement)?
How many lads never even made it in to the RE for being unable to complete the required number of chin ups in basic? and you talk about "sexist"? Hmmm..
Absolutely no problem with REAL equality, but there is no such thing. Meeting the same requirements is equality, being given special exceptions in order to do so is not.
Lowering requirement standards for any reason (including "equality") results in precise that, lowered standards.
Your "inclusive ethos" was forced on you by government agenda period. To the detriment of the Corp.
Whilst Ironhand9096 didn't express it the now "not allowed to address the elephant in the room way" (and why should he?) , what he said was correct. I'm glad I'd left before this farce was implemented.
Times have changed yes, doesn't mean its for the better.
@@keturah2613 indeed! LOWERED requirements for everyone, so that women could pass them.
