As a former BDF Officer who served alongside many Sandhurst graduates (I graduated from the RAF College Cranwell), I must say that it makes me extremely proud to see how far the Force has come in the years since I departed. It gave me goosebumps watching the video, and that does not happen often. Shoulder to Shoulder!!!
I'm a Canadian Army vet who have served on both sides of the ranks and now a university administrator. I know how difficult it is for a top training or education establishment to run an overseas program while maintaining quality when your candidates can't travel to your home institution to live and breathe the proper traditions, to absorb and internalize the culture, and to enjoy the benefit of adequate staff and proper facilities. I wish both the training staff and the O/Cdts all the very best. As for the O/Cdts, know how lucky you are to be able to train under the wings of Sandhurst staff.
I loved my posting to Belize when I was in the Royal Signals. I spent six months there from July '83 to Jan '84 and it looks like Airport Camp (Price Barracks) has hardly changed.
BATSUB was recently staffed by the Brits like before. They had left and the regional commander flew in and he decided to bring them back. I was a club member at BATSUB when they only had 6 Brits on site, circa 2012. SEAL teams and SWCC boat teams are housed there too, for jungle training. Greetings to Sgt Major Cámara BDF (Retired) ⚓🇸🇻
"A lot like Call of Duty..." Er.... Anyway, great film. I would hope some of these guys travel to other locations to train with other units, particularly female/male equal experiences.
Well put together doc, unfortunately it's sad Belizeans feel that the history between them and the British was a peaceful one. . . We still need to be truly educated on our history.

It's *roles, first of all (unless you're talking about baking?). Secondly, no one is talking about lowering standards. Professional, intelligent militaries do not arbitrarily ban 50% of their recruiting base from positions just because they are a different gender, but make sure anyone can sign up for a position if they meet the requirements.
I'd say the army has it absolutely spot on, males and females both have to pass the same standards regardless of gender, unlike the other two services where males have to score much higher than females.
@@Grogritark I just don’t get why having different standards for male and female makes sense? Like the standards are there so that let’s say there’s someone who needs dragging out of an area. Their weight will be that of a man and then with half or another small man on top of that with kit. So if the female standards are lowered it’s just making things more dangerous for everyone involved. The female is more likely to get hurt the longer she takes to pull out the injured person. The person who is injured will loose precious seconds whilst being stuck on the ground for longer.
My Father was in the BDF and was actually sent to England to attend training at Sandhurst. Lots of great stories!

Informative Documentary- Enjoyed learning about life over in Belize for women, made very interesting viewing.
Just want to say thanks to you all for your dedication and protection

Excellent documentary - well filmed and produced.
Agreed, although the cheesy background music has to go!
Man, feels so weird to hear other belizeans struggle to hold back the creole when being interviewed.
😂can confirm this is true.. it is weird yes
Yep
That's not creole. Its broke English. We don't speak creole in belize

Awesome
Great doc. Great attitude, good luck to you all.

Really insightful docu film. Lots of interesting perspectives brought together to help educate.

When can we watch this ? It doesn't want to 😒
Premiere starts now!
It is premiering now!
To the British, Belize is going to need you. I have family there (I'm American), and we are on the verge of WW3.
This is an a swer for those who claims that the battle "never" happened.
Theyre training because it's Belize 🇧🇿 vs Guatemala 🇬🇹
They are still mad,that Imperial Spain 🇪🇸 lost in the battle of St George's Caye
know you think about coming.
Belice in the history's of Central America it belongs to Guatemala no all of the part but 50 to 60% it belongs to Guatemala
Una pregunta? Estos son los soldados que matan por la espalda a niños en la frontera con Guatemala... Para eso los entrenan?
Let's not act like Guatemalans don't sneak over Belize's borders, and all of you ain't Belizeans,guats and El Salvadorans

Please don’t make our army woke and push to put women or men in rolls. The standards are the standards let’s not lower them

Belize please don't end up like Guyana build up your army to 30 000 now and buy jets and helicopters and tanks and ships
