🛑ALL OPINION PRESENTED ON MY CHANNEL IS PERSONAL OPINION AND I AM NOT COMMUNICATING ON BEHALF OF THE ARMY IN ANY OFFICIAL CAPACITY !!!
What the MOD and senior officers don’t realise is that Fabziy and other squaddie you tubers do more for recruiting than multi million pound advertising campaigns. Great stuff F
100%. If anyone I meet talks about thinking of joining, I point them to Fabziy and Dan Tomo. Those two lads put out real content with genuine insight and understanding. Both have made "army Fit" videos, and Dan has covered some really nuanced stuff like footwear and how to get started training. The MOD have no idea how much talent and passion they have in thier ranks.
Outstanding comment squire!! Literally could not be more accurate.
Respect.
Also these guys, impressive 👍✌️
@@paul1978g this is the first I’ve seen these boys but they are good. I’m gonna have a swatch at the rest of their stuff. Glad you wrote that
@@paul1978g Your last sentence is spot on there Paul.
White. heterosexual working class MEN, usually in manual jobs, have been the backbone of the Army for centuries.
The pony-tailed, gender-fluid snowflakes in Ad agencies depise them, and are also too "captured" by the PC agenda, much as the MOD and career-concious senior officers cravenly toeing the same snowflake line.
Yes, there are useful ethnic minority and female soldiers, I mean no disrespect to those who are worth their rations,, but far too many
( particularly women employed in roles that they are not physically up to) are weak links in the chain.
My dad said that when they did this sort of stuff during the war there was often a pipe band playing back at base and they could hear it as they approached. He believed it was the most motivational sound in the world and that it could inspire a dead man to make that last half mile.
I've heared it said that if you hear bagpipes, either help or trouble is on the way.
On the commando 9 miler there’s a drummer leading you back onto camp and down to the bottom field ranges for your firing test, it makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck
Of course I agree - there is nothing so emotional and inspiring , than the sound of the pipes: that's why I had to follow my heart and find a piping teacher when I was young; and now, at now in my 70's, I continue to teach the pipes to pass on the tradition.
That's cool must of been a Scottish regiment
Long story short,dawn as we where about to go into Kuwait a piper somewhere started to play,made you feel every hair stand on end,made you proud and made me cry like a baby and still does at the memory of it and the mates that went home in lead coffins.thank you American president's you done nothing to improve anything,just made widow's and profit.
"it's only pain ...... dig deep. It's mind over matter. We don't mind 'cause you don't matter." Heard so many times from PTI staff during speed marches. Unless you have been there and experienced a speed march, whether a 4 miler, 6 miler, or a 9 mile speed march, carrying the 22 pounds of belt kit and rifle, you have no idea just how hard it is. Well done lads.
im a fencing contractor in the lake District and used to be very fit, we were carrying fence post out up above Patterdale on the fells about 20 years ago, hot, Humid, summers day and we were knackered, anyway up the path come half a dozen guys with a sargent, he asked if we needed a hand and hell, i wasnt going to refuse, im sure i died twice in the next hr trying to keep up with them
Funny to hype a normal thing - speed marching is common in battle, there is nothing to hero about! Basics!
And You know, Pain is weakniss leaving the Body - Pain is the thing keeping teams together - more pain, more team
I tell my teenage sons that mind-over-matter gag. Armed forces humour... 😏
@@danielkullick872 Regular people are not trained to that level of conditioning. We admire and respect the work it takes to be in that condition, to sacrifice comfort for the sake of the nation, and most of all what it means... speed marching into battle, a chance to put your life on the line in a firefight. You're not a hero for doing a speed march. You're a hero for WHY you do the speed march! Cheers.
I'm 65 tomorrow, ex Light Infantry, and I walk (march ?) to work in London every day. Takes 35 minutes to do 2.8 miles, with no running (albeit without the CFO and gat).
Keep it up after retirement and the marching/running really does keep you going.
remember my Grandad doing his WW1 army calisthenic exercises every day soon as he got out of bed
Gat = hat
I'm late fifties with knees well worn from seven years infantry service in my twenties (the load on the belt webbing was 35lbs. in my days.) My doctor - "sports medicine" specialist- tells me if he hears of me running I should look for another doctor, but encourages me to walk or ride a bike as far, as fast, and as often as I like, as long as I don't carry excess weight (body weight or cargo.) I do seem to be fitter than average for my age. I think those of us who spent our youth in active work like soldiering are generally better off than most who do sedentary work even if they take regular exercise in their leisure time. Except our knees are worn out.

Reminds me of an interview I saw from shortly before the Falklands War after the atlantic conveyor was hit and the task force lost a lot of its helicopters; some naysayer was suggesting that this rendered the invasion unviable because the troops would have to march with all their kit all the way across the Island to port stanley, fighting battles along the way, in very inhospitable terrain. Another guest pointed out that fortunately for the British forces, practicing marching a very long way for days at a time carrying all their kit through very inhospitable terrain was precisely what the Royal Marines and Parachute regiment were trained to do.
Royal Marines "Yomp", Paras "Tab" - both reach their destination ready to fight 👍
100%
And other regiments, I might add...!!!
also guards division . guards and paras . spearhead .
We hosted a jump school exchange while I was stationed in Vicenza Italy for a company of the Paras that went to the Falklands. The told us how much of a CF it was. Lots of walking. Good times.
My husband was one that had difficulties in keeping up but always had his perseverance that pushed him to never give in and push to keep up.
Am from Africa Kenya I have a dream to join British army am looking for a sponsor who can host me during that time of recruitment am 23yrs old
Can I buy you a drink while your husband is away ?
It's about mental resilience to never give up. Your body is telling you to stop and get on the jack wagon but you push on.

@@zacharyfindlay-maddox171 I worked a lot with Marines. Everybody got along. The Marines regarded us as the Army’s Marines. In a way it is all the same. We both engage those forces hostile to the best interest of the USA. We do it proudly and with vigor. I wouldn’t change a thing.

I was in French Legion we have this, a 10km (6.2miles) run with a 10kg (22lb) bag. I was doing it in about 50min. Running is the first thing you have to be good in FFL
I use this technique when I’m late and trying to get to the tube (subway), while carrying heavy tool bags for work. Some lessons aren’t just for military they are for every aspect of life.
One of my favourite aspects of the military. Half the "pointless" things you will get taught come in handy
This man deserves to grow massively! Been absolutely spoilt by his content this weekend!
Great footage, great editing and great vibes.
Fantastic Video Fabziy! Those lads all worked hard and it was inspiring to see them giving it everything. Inspiring too, seeing yourself and the other staff willing them on, giving them the self belief to push through and complete the run. This is a truly awesome series of videos, I'm absolutely mesmerised by the variety and the intimacy of the footage. It's almost like being in camp with the lads (not that I'd make it lol). Thanks for the incredible content, stay safe and have a great week!
My Dad was a Marine. He could walk for Miles, literally. He'd think nothing of walking from Budleigh to Exeter, about 11 miles roughly.
Brilliant post.
I was on the original presentation of the Green Beret in the Citadel in May 1962(?). It's great to see the regiment is still going so strong. My old Bty (145 Maiwand Cdo Lt Bty) is no longer part of the regiment but my loyalty and allegiance to the regiment is still 100%.
Great Video. Thank You , to all the members of the British Armed Forces.
I am thankful for all the Great ,difficult , work you do.
British Commandos are legendary. None better.
The energy in this is🔥 I'm never disappointed. Some real quality footage. We've been truly spoilt this Weekend 💯❤️
All I can say is thank God they’re on our side!
They are not this will become apparent soon when they are kicking in your door and dragging your family onto vehicles to be detained for not taking part in the ongoing clinical vaccine trial
Remember doing thsi type of marching on annual fitness test . 10 miles in 2 hours and 10 mins or less. back in 65. Still used WW2 37 pattern webbing in those days, most uncomfortable crap I ever wore. Still managed it in well under the two hours though.
I ran 6 times around the block this morning!--Then I put it back on the wall!
This is not easy but it's a lot easier when you keep in step. In 1969, I was in the REME Workshop in Plymouth and the whole unit de-camped to the Oakhampton Training Camp for a week and did various things whilst there including the 4 mile march although it wasn't at speed but it did count towards our Battle Efficiency Training (I think it was called that). I also did a helicopter handling and drop-zone marking course there during another specific week's training. Great times.
No GPMG's, 84s, bergens, steel helmets, puttees etc ?
God I feel old !
100% on point so inspiring!! Respect 🙌🙌🙌 taking me back!!

when the body says NO The desire TO BE THE BEST kicks in
My body never sase no it only sase why
2:15 I like how the soldier puts his rifle on his feet instead of on the ground.
Because he paid attention during training . In Army Rangers , if an NCO see's a rifle muzzle on the ground or too close to the ground , the owner will regret it .
Why?

I watched on 0.25, so not very.
Interesting to see them doing this without plates, helmet, eye wear, or gloves. They're also in a very tight formation and I'm used to seeing soldiers more spread out during fitness training. Many countries are following a "train as you fight" philosophy that would produce a different paced march. Brits are in very good shape, happy to see them out. Thanks for posting!
Good effort by the lads.... you all passed me just about to walk my spaniel on the ring road.... I can just about see my van in the video. 👍🏻
Good vid. The answer is 40 mins at the slowest. Commando standard is 10mins per mile in CEFO + weapon over any terrain, used for the 6 & 9 miler, simples!
Do u know what weight these marines webbing were ? Was it 5kg webbing and about 5 kg for the rifle ? , that makes it a lot harder :) cheers
@@Foxtrottangoabc I cant remember exactly and don't know exactly but 28 lb (12 kg+) is about right.

Amazing videos as usual @fabziy brings back memories of tabbing in the 90's 🤣 Have to admit, we'd have got beasted for not having both hands on the rifle and we weren't allowed to use slings. Glad to see how times have changed 👍👍👍👍
I've never understood the 'no slings' thing, what happens when you have to climb up or over something?
Or do you mean only when Speed Marching?
I recall a 9 Sqn RE lad losing a rifle in a river in Belize when doing a river crossing because he didn't have a sling in his webbing (They found it later), it just seems like one of the many stupid things that used to grit my shit when working with other units.
I loved the editing; very professional
british army are the best...period!
Just me or does it look easier in UBACs 🤔 my day was in smocks... hoofing effort lads.
That's nothing I go to the pub like that 7nights a week plus carrying the weapon .(it's a bad area)
I LIKE HOW THE OTHERS KEEP THE SLOW ONES GOING BY ENCOURAGING THE STRAGGLERS! I
Grew up on Dartmoor, amazing place. Well done lads. Great vid Fabziy.
One of those boys isn't even struggling wow
Good spot. One fit dude.
Some people seem to have a natural ability to speed march. I remember a couple of guys in my platoon like this. While everyone else's shins feel like they are about to explode, they march on with a smiling face. I also had a Welsh guy in my platoon who had an opportunity to long distance run for Britain in the olympics. He was what many would call super fit but he could not march at all. Speed marching is unlike any other form of physical activity. A painful soul searching experience.
Are those full leather combat boots? And if so, do you guys shine/polish them to a mirror finish?
I belive. There sent to America for the shoe shine boys. Boot camp to polish gleaming shiny new then shipped back. Honest so I was told I'm a ex British squadie. I did my. Polishing. Cheers 😋😂😂
A very similar speed march was done nearly a thousand years ago twice in 2 weeks one being the battle of Stamford bridge in Yorkshire and the more famous one being battle of Hastings 1066..king Harold had confront a massive force that had landed in the north east of England king Harald of Norway and the English kings brother tostig.. English king Harold marched from South east England to the north east with a combination of fast walking and running gathering men on the way from the villages they passed through the English king Harold got his victory but he'd lost over 5,000 men whilst his men were celebrating Harold's spies told him that the Norman prince William the bastard had just landed on the south west coast.the English king Harold then had to march his exhausted men down to the south East to face William again fast paced gathering men as he went..king Harold faced William at battle in Sussex and the rest we know.1066 William defeats Harold's army and becomes William the conqueror..but the English king Harold had his men do something very similar and it was that effective it caught the Norwegian king Harald's men off guard most without there amour.... GRT stuff lads the suffering feel for yous..
Great march but should of waited at london and rested his troops.The rest is history.😊
Well done mate and the Lads Brilliant well done
Got my start date in June cant wait took 2 years to pass medical because of knee surgery. Going RE and then wanting to go 24 commando so wanted to know if this is the commando beat up or actually AACC?
Pre Beat Up.
24 are a top outfit. Ultra professional and totally 'can do' with any task thrown at them.
If I hadn't joined the RM I'd have gone Cdo RE.
I hope you get what you're after buddy
Its a pre beat up. However mate, if you are interested in the Commandos it will be all about your knee, it will need to be super strong. Don't under estimate the challenge. The people that pass the course have natural 'good bone structure' sounds daft but its true, its a 'human nature thing'. So make sure your knee is super fit or it will fail.
This looks rough

Super fit, great guys, super leadership 👍
Running with boots, thats hurting just by thinking about it, but great work guys.
I wonder how comfortable those boots are. Certainly looked more comfortable than what I had.
"We're going for a speed march" and then proceeds to run in full boots & utes. Typical British understatement. Might as well have said "time to go for a leisurely strole" 😉 Good job cousins!
Real eye opener, I've been smoking for 7 years, I feel like cardio will be the down fall of me, I am so scared that I'll be rejected from the army. All I want is to make anyone proud of me, just anyone. I swear if i don't get into the army, I just don't know what to do with myself anymore. This made me more depressed then anything else.
Any news?
Bro just start running and just do it even if you can't quit smoking you can still get good at cardio, i'm currently in the basic course to become a paratrooper and the best runner in the platoon is a guy that smokes a pack a day
I almost see my soul coming out from those Datmours hills in 2007.. well done lads..clap 👏 👏👏👏
We do e a double time forced March 60pounds up a Mountain 13 miles about 100 of us we all made it but I had to be helped last 2 miles cause I didn't have anything on my feet just raw meat and blood went to Hawaii ran up their little mountain yhe marines said was tough only 3 miles got back down not even out of breathe and I said I ready to go again the marines said what I said that wasn't shit compared to what I been doing lol.
What's the point of Gunners doing a CTR? Obviously not their role.
boots are very different from when i was in, back in the 80s..those things look soft and cushy and dont they do forced marches with bergens anymore?? its been a while so im a bit out of touch. Also is that the SA80? bit lighter than the SLR we used to lug around ?
It's one training exercise out of many. L1A1 SLR weighed 4.9 kg loaded, the SA80 L85A2 weighs 6.5 kg loaded ( and thats with just the optical sight, add on all the other battle rattle you have to carry these days and it's a fair bit more). And don't forget the other weight you would not have experienced from all the extra issued kit there is now - body armour alone is another 7.5 kg. Lowa combat boots are 2 kg a pair.
@@claverhouse1 sa80 weighs 8.4lbs my slr weighed 9.5..dont get me wrong..i have issues with the sa80..not our great service men and women though it may sound like it to you..i just see things in our military now as gentler and easier compare to a few decades ago..not the lads and lasses fault..more societies and the ones giving the orders
VERY GOOD 10000000000000

Good spot Snipes
4 mile speed march! the BFT is only 3 miles, back in the day the Combat Fitness Test was 7miles. It is what it is, I expect the Royal Marines to do this without trying its bread and butter for elite infantry units such as the Parachute regiment and Marines. TAB tactical advance to battle Parachute Regiment Bread and Butter also., Marines Yomp lol
The new boots look very comfortable compared to the 1970/80s DMS and putties wonder how they compare but they cant be worse. Webbing is similar but better than 58 pattern and personally I prefer the old DPM but then i,m an old fucker!
I,m always just happy to see this generation in the forces and pushing themselves to the limit however it is set in this day and age.
Stand by, Stand by....
Our soldiers are one of the best in the world, as a nation Britain goes above and beyond with our commonwealth brothers. Thank goodness we will always have Australia and New Zealand and Canada to stand shoulder to shoulder with. We're stronger together. At 50 years old I'd still answer the call to defend the commonwealth
I’m an ex boot neck from the 70s 80s the lads on the all arms course always got extra shit as they weren’t Royal, big respect to them
Don't run so long away !!
i used to be in the uniform body, and the worse thing about this march and running while wearing combat boots is always the ankle, no matter how many years you train..
How much does CEFO weigh these days? Didn’t look like 35lb
Yeah those funny runs out in the field they are hard and painful i hated the 7 miles run but when you finish you feel like god XDD grettings from your alied spain (regimiento de infanteria galicia 64)
Epic video yet again, editing to the beat like that in the beginning is incredibly hard and you did a perfect job with it! I’m loving these regular uploads from you, can’t wait for the next one 👊🏻
PMSL… 4… FOUR mile speed march, that’s a BFT with a warm up, my lot (Light Infantry) would have “marched’ over their backs with full CEFO and helmets on without breaking sweat… SERIOUSLY! Is this the regular RM?

Notice how they've all shortened the webbing yolk straps so the pouches are half way up their back to stop them rubbing on their arse/hips. Completely impractical but makes tabbing more comfy.

Speed marches are killeeeeeer 😂😂
Sorry guys, but it does not look difficult, virtually no weight at all, a short distance and NO that is not hilly terrain. I was infantry in the 80s, this stuff and much more was daily. Old CFT was 8 miler, with platoon weapons (GPMG and Carl Gustaf AT weapon). We used to do running in gas masks on the CFT, and skirmishing. I used to love it.
What's the difference between tabbing and yomping?? 1982 .....GO !
Human body is so different, I could march for ever,enjoyed the old CFT, but rubbish at running in boots. They were really awkward to run in. Altberg boots are so comfy compared to Boots Combat High(Boots Cardboard Horrible) as they nicknamed for good reason.
The dichotomy between Lethality and the "Rainbow MOD" (Like the Home Office - not fit for purpose).
"Soldiering On For Now", well in lads.
A FOUR mile speed march and they all look puffed out,,, Try a 10 mile battle march with a pack, rifle,helmet halfway through carry another soldier the length of a football pitch in an hour,,,, Paras 🇬🇧
Ate these actualky Commandos or trainee Commandos ? Because the look a right unfit rabble 😂😂
Do they still use that bluish/purplish stuff on your feet when you remove your boots and socks then see your blisters.
Boots don't look like the black DMS (Dunlop Moulded Sole) that I remember.
Good job boys. I say boys as I couldn't see any feminists in there fighting for equality - sorry, working hard, busting a gut, for equality.
You should have done some training in Junior Leaders, rucksacks filled with A41 manpack batteries, about 20 lbs worth plus your own kit, pouring down with rain and no roads, all on Exmoor, as 16-17 year we were glad it was raining, it might have made the canvas straps feel as though your shoulders were being cut off but the rain hid the tears!
Pretty tame compared to the Army of the 1970´s.
And we were meant for armour, not even grunts or Paras.
Try a proper stretcher run with a soldier on the stretcher and not a dummy.

In the Royal Marines Reserves we had to do most training on our own after a days work, loved it Passed Jan 1988.
Cry much? No excuses! Age is not a problem! You have experience such as mitochondria density on a level that younger humans do not have! Now stop crying! Weak!!!
How do the lads with abit of meat on them fair through basic training I meet the weight requirments for my height but I am abit chubby
I had to do extra tests before basic but let me say one thing.
Visualise what you want and go for it, Its bloody hard but i'm now past my 11 year point.
if you want it, go and get it!!!
Do you see many chubby lads in this video Perry?
These are Gunners training to attempt the Commando Course so any excess body weight would be a massive hindrance to success.
Not all roles require this level of fitness but you have to know that the military has a baseline level of fitness that needs to be attained.
Carrying a bit of bulk doesn't hinder the fitness of a modern front row rugby pro so it's just a case of building your all round conditioning (cardio, strength, mobility, flexibility).
Nothing is out of your reach if you plan for it and train accordingly.
Your weight will soon adjust as you do more demanding phys, I was a racing snake but had guys around me who carried weight but they passed ok.
We had a saying in the British army, I don't know if they still use it.
"Train hard, fight easy".
Yup, “Fatigue dissipates morale, and in the extreme a soldier will lose the will to survive. Train hard, fight easy”.
Now we’re finally out of Afghanistan isn’t it time to reintroduce DPM? This camo looks out of place in Northern Europe and Britain in particular.

I think this it Gettin or passing p company is just has hard as each other just if you get your wings extra month every month 😂
As a former green beret i say this is bollocks! You NEVER train that light unless its basic training. It does not count until you are fully battle geared.
We speed march with a 20 kg ruck. 7 km in 52 min. Or less. While I believe a fast marching pace is more important than a slow jogging pace, I would not want to train jogging with 20kg or more with the combat boots. I can do it all day with barefoot shoes though. Heavy and tall people will have a problem with this discipline, but they supersede with heavy marching. The aim is to be able to do both. March heavy and jog light.
@@ickekoep I agree with you Ickekoep. We never ran with combat boots unless it was a charge. Its called marching and not running for a reason. I know that the british army and royal marines have awesome soldiers. But the whole thing with instructors running alongside wearing tees sais "commando training" gives me the feel or try outs or basic training.
@@Ecthelion1967 I believe the reason behind you not running in full gear is simple: I believe back then SF were oriented as a pure infantry unit that moves on the battlefield on foot, while today they are also more working with vehicles AND it wears out your legs 3 times more when you run with those boots, instead of doing heavy marching.
This British speed march discipline originated by a few British soldiers evading the enemy in the 90s? In africa. And that is why we train it too, only that we train in comfortable shoes most of the time.
The clue to your misunderstanding is in the word "former". Things change old man.
@@claverhouse1 Things dont really change, they just shift, you will see that when you become older, young man.
I respect what these men do but as a British man I wouldn't fight to protect this country as I hate the government which is full of capitalist dictators. Since the pandemic which has resulted in lockdowns, restrictions, the introduction of a domestic covid passport and the mandatory vaccination of social care workers which will eventually be all NHS workers I've completely lost any respect I had for this country. I would happily burn the British flag! I would fight against the UK in any war as I would like to see the government removed. I hope tens of thousands decide not to join the armed services.
Not sure if they are Instructors wearing no gear. But from my experience the Instructor wears the same gear and orders push-ups etc with and in front of the troops. At least once a day if they are instructing multiple troops. Nothing worse than running your Guts out while the instructor is in his jeep. LOL. Yes I seen that only once and only once LOL. By the way, as a Canadian I got to work with the Brit Engineers in Bosnia as their guests. Great guys, and we loved to have a few good ones.including that rot gut Slipivitz. CHIMO
