Australian Armies best asset is their people so step up and make friends for life, create a secure future in these testing times, live an adventure that pays you to travel and never feel lonely as you share the experience with those not of your blood you call brother.
Create a Legacy that your future family will be proud of as you stand for something and bring honour to your family name, watch your Grandfather nod with respect as you sign the dotted line.
Live a life so different to those that used to surround you in your civilian life, enlist into the tribe in 2020 and leave no what if's behind you as we fertilise your future with the action you take now.

You make a lot of great points in this video Cas and I’ve got to say you’ve made me feel a lot more confident with my choice of joining the Army. I was offered an earlier enlistment day and I head off for Kapooka on the 31st of this month. It’ll be a tough process but it’s a once in a lifetime experience. Cheers 👍
Mate in these times you’ve just struck gold well done I’ll put you on the list mate..
Looking forward to seeing and hearing about your thoughts 1 year from now get those push ups and good food into ya
I believe if you cannot handle/deal with stress or control your depression/anxiety, then definitely do not join the Military. The Army will not baby you as soon as you set foot in basic training you’re a soldier and all soldiers can deal with such trauma/challenges. My best advice is face your fears or don’t join at all. By the way, I love Cas and his videos, he is honest and always uses terms “you” basically I love how he directs every video to the viewers!!
Ashley Tuttle great comment thank you for supporting the message mate it’s important the right people enlist and we are here to help..
I’m glad you like the delivery approach we use to help others Ash
If there is anyone reading this. Just would like to say don't think twice. Just do it. As i held off and said I would join later this never came.
Been stuck in mundane boring jobs the last 25 years working for the man. Now I'm 40 I got diagnosed with M.S at the age of 35 so my chance to do it even the reserve were smashed over night.
The military was ment to be my calling but I let friends and a civilian job get in the way of it. And those friends I do not even know now. That job long is long gone.
But I am very proud of my brother he is over 20 years now in the ADF. It definitely gave him a life and still is. Thank you Mark.
Angus mate what a special message mate so sorry for your medical situation and if you ever need a chat let me know happy to speak to another old bugger and wonder if your brother knows me its a small world.
Thanks mate for the reply. Will keep it in mind. You may have crossed paths with my brother. I think you could no his mate .he served over in Africa as well. Cheers mark.
@William Andersen Thankyou William. All the best with with your new venture with the ADF. You will be a part of legends past and present. Well done. Always move faward and don't look back. Cheers mark
My son is at Singo now, he is so proud of being an infantry soldier, I’m so proud of him as his dad, I served as well, its an amazing life.
Hey Pauly mate proud of your family and your son I hope he goes to Townsville to experience Cactus Jacks and Tully of course the maker and or breaker of young men..
@@inthetrencheswithcas1762 the big blue 1 will be his first.
Hey Cas I don’t know If you remember me but I told you a while ago I was going for the army and that I was nervous, i’m proud to say I made it for all three of my options and await Kapooka as soon as there’s an opening for me in Emergency responder, which is roughly a year, or so they told me. I also made rifleman and Cav as well. I’m so bloody excited for it, I cannot wait to start my life. This has given me something to strive towards, something to work for, the purpose i have now even before signing the dotted line is incredible, my physical fitness grows by the day in anticipation of Kapooka, I wish it wasn’t so seemingly far away, but I have my foot firmly in the door and that’s what counts. Thank you for helping me get here Cas, I have donated in a few of your streams but I simply will never be able to repay you. I hope one day I can shake your hand mate, cheers for getting this 22 year old off his ass and into his dream.
Great video Cas , you’re an inspiration to us all and I’m glad to have served with and been mentored by you. Cheers mate.
Hey mate we give back in different ways and this is mine and yeah I miss my brother regardless of rank and look on my old boots like they are a reminder of the great times.
Best job i ever had ! and now my son is at One hes loving the life i often talk about ,its not for everyone and most of the naysayers have never been part of it. . It has its risks and demons that you may encounter and because of publicity in the mainstream media a lot of society believe that if you join the military you will have mental and physical issues full stop but that is just not the case.It took me all over the world and gave me many brothers/mates/family im still in contact with today, i can tell you the people i worked with in my first job i wouldn't even remember who they were .
Same here, a way of life not for everyone but i have friendships that have lasted for 20 years.
Geez Cas you really put it the best way I've ever heard it put. I was keen to join the reserves before but after this video I'm pumped to get fit and give it a go
Right on mate and if you need a mentor come join us on patreon so we ca chat one on one while laughing through your journey ...
Hope you do..
I have regretted not joining when I was 18. I'm now 31 and I'm working hard towards my dream just a bit heavy at the moment. Hoping to loose the weight with in 12months. Cas your videos are great and very helpful keeps me motivated. Cheers
I had a strong family influence that didn't want me to join after that person passed I did it anyway, but missed out on trips by joining at the point I did. Just do it man even if you do it late. The same people that said not to will be proud you did.
What a God Damned awesome comment Chris it’s these kind of reality bombs that keep me making content brother… Thank you…
Great vid cas. This is definitely a good video for loved ones and friends to see to help them understand the motivations for enlistment
So true sometime the people that hold us back the most are the ones that love us, hold us back from being adults too.
I’ve done my assessment day and It went great!, I’m waiting for some finalising then I’ll be enlisted officially as an infantry soldier early next year, your videos made clear my passion for the military thanks mate 💪🇦🇺💪
I’ve been watching your videos for a while Cas, I was always interested in joining the military but now I know I’m definitely going to, I’m in year 10 now and I’m joining when I finish year 12.
Make sure you do all the work to the best of your ability, it might suck in the moment but I guarantee you it's better than the alternative
I just did the aptitude test awaiting results hoping to get in great channel also you're the one who made me realise joining is great also anyone joining hope you make it for Duty and Honour
Saving Private Ryan is that you
It might be saving 2nd Luitenent Ryan because he thought he could fly a tank
Currently redoing my yr 10 maths then I can apply after that. Hopefully it all works out. Never die wondering...
Right on gotto get that answer and good luck with the maths mate
Is it hard? I’m currently in year 9 and I’m kinda scared that I won’t pass year 10 English/maths my current grades are ok but I’m not the top of the class.
@@ftsboys9825 Don't stress mate it's not all that difficult. I finished school quite a few years ago, I just had trouble with maths as I had some issues at home at the time which made school a challenge. If you don't know something, ask. Don't be afraid to ask for help mate. You'll do fine pal don't stress.
J Mazza you only need to show up to classes and tests and exams, teachers normally won’t give students unsatisfactory for year10 subjects
BillNutty cool thanks for the advice 🤟
I enlisted and re-enlisted best two choices i ever made! Do it! Have a go! You'll love it you'll hate it just like the choices we all have to make! Civi street will never look the same again!
Really needed this video thanks brother💪
Here to serve again mate thanks for watching and joining
I'm currently, working hard on my fitness and my goal is to be fit enough to join up by the start of next year or if all goes well late this year
same. i got coaching session on friday this week
@@ballislife9834 good on ya I was considering doing that myself, I'm in Vic do I'm having some hurdles thanks to covid but it's not gonna stop me
If ur mentally strong you will get through kapooka it's the mental strength that gets you through it
Hi cas im a 15 year old kid FROM Mount druitt and that joke u made was bloody hilarious. I personally want to join the Army but sadly my mum doesnt support it but my dad does.
Well mate mum can still visit you and vice versa once you get in, I say go for it but wait til your 18 then no one can stop you young buddy and if you, don't do it you may regret it for a life time leave the boy come back the man I always say.
Your mum just loves you is all don't be mad at her..we only get one don't we..
There's no better explanation than this Cas, well done. 2 ex's stopped me from being the best version of myself, trying for reserves but missed the boat age wise for regular service, do it today, you can do it and don't let people tell you otherwise
Rock on I thought it was the Titanic clip that pulled you in as SOS I’m just glad people enjoy mate
Lot of older chaps enlisting in support roles. May be harder work, but might not be too late.
Really inspirational stuff Cas, thank you! Just had my defence interview, and now medical and OSP to come (reserves). Thanks for your effort here Cas, supremely appreciated!
Cheers cas this is really getting me over the line to keep going to make my dreams come true. When I turn 18-20 I’ve got a really good family friend who is in the military he willing to help me to get to that point and as well I’ve got you
I'm 26 years old my father's in the army and ever since I was 18 I have been trying to get into the defence force because Its been my dream sence before I could remember I was denied repeatedly for the mistake of ticking the wrong box that asked about depression I have appeal several times I have letters from psychologists saying that i don't have depression and the regimented lifestyle would be good for me but that did not matter to the people i appealed to I want to help keep my country safe and especially in times like these
Mate so sorry to hear this and I do hear you Chris our system is not perfect and sadly those that control the purse strings also have their priorities wrong a lot of the time the funny thing is if you transitioned to the opposite sex they would probably say yes now and call you brave hey.

Hey Cas, the passion and commitment you have to the army is such a motivating force mate. I've done the yards getting past recruitment and I've got a enlistment date lined up. I've been doubting myself but hearing your words of wisdom have really set me back into the mindset of why I'm joining in the first place. Can't wait to join the brother hood mate
It is a solo journey until your in then your off and forging your legacy, friendships and destiny and I hope to be there for you on the journey to laugh at your reflections and observations mate.
Come join us on the Patreon so we can chat about what's coming and the good to knows with some humour thrown in.
Well spoken and accurate delivery. No sight adjustment required. On point
Love this mate, our volunteers deserve to know they are on the right track and the effort pedal needs to be pushed to create life long legacy
I'm joining the infantry soldier in 2022 because my family were Anzac.
airsoftAus good on you mate I look forward to helping you on your journey...
You should join the army because I said so.
Maybe you should too mate
Lol there you go I will rejoin too.
Hey Cas. Love the videos mate, just finished my practice PFA and got news about my enlistment date being on the 11th of January 2021 just got to finish grade 12. so keen for it, love to go infantry but got artillery operator and armored as back ups in my preference list. Have a bloody beut of a day cas.
Great news matey keep out of the shit and start training knowing your path is laid now just follow the yellow brick road great news
Just have to wait 6 months before i can finish my enlistment, passed everything on the way but i want to wait and they also want me to wait for my son to be born in september. Going to let the dust settle after that then they'll let me do my PFA and enlist. Going to try for 2rar after watching some of your content because i think that's what i want to do. Can't wait!
Great news on your son mate being a dad is the best lets get you ready to take your family name to bigger and higher currency within our amazing country.
Love it Cas! Very motivational.
Glad you liked it!! I enjoyed bringing it to you mate and if it helps then bonus.
Hey cas, I’m super fit and been playing semi pro soccer for a few years now, I’m 20 and have just applied to try and get into commandos but I previously had some issues with depression will that effect my selection at all?
Hey cas I’ve gone through the process and am currently waiting for my assessment day to come around which is on Monday the 10th of August. I’m thrilled, nervous and excited
No worries so close you should be fine and this is really the final step the PFA is a formality but still train hard form the confidence and capability
Hi Laam how did u go with your assessment day? Was it the psychology or the final interview?
Stef Cuz my assessment included the psychological evaluation, a medical assessment and a formal interview. As far as I know I aced all parts and was classed as class 1 medically fit. I should be receiving my letter of offer around the end of September hopefully
Got my enlistment 26th of October.
Can't wait to live my dream
Nice video Cas! Your videos really helped me through the enlistment process and now I have my date to go to Cerberus. Officially in the Navy on the 24th of August!
hey cas, heading off on the 21st of september to kapooka. entering as SFDRS commando. pretty pumped. any tips??
Your on the List now... Mate train hard and don't focus on Commandos until your at least half way through Singleton without back squad and also maybe jump onto Patreon so we can have some one on one phone mentor sessions mate.
Excited for you but a long road ahead yeah.
Christmas at home will be good for you.
How'd you go mate get in?
I keep rolling back to this video knowing that I would only be able to start this unique journey after the next minimum 3 years
Still got 2 years to go but after high school I wanna do something better than staring at a computer screen or packing groceries, I wanna do something that is different, something that has that unique experience like no other. My dream is to be in the army like past family members have and serve and walk in their footsteps. Yeah some of my friends are like ‘nah it’s too dangerous that’s a dumb move’, but I wanna lead my life and not them, I wanna follow my dreams. One day I hope to make it a reality and not just dream it while I sit on the couch being lazy.
Devon.J right on mate we will take over from where your mates are trying to hold you back it’s fine you will replace them with your men mates that you make while wearing the Australian Flag on your Army ..
What will they be doing?
Here for you mate
hey cas, i’m almost 18 an i’ve been thinking about joining up with the army in future, i’m reasonably fit and strong and my preferred roles would have to be infantry & armoured gunner. just wanted to see if you had any tips for me in future with the whole “you sessions” and “aptitude tests.” thanks mate ✊🏼🇦🇺
Honestly mate i need you to look at the video's already made on this channel and ask specific questions so i can answer them to the standard you need
In The Trenches With Cas easy brother, thanks for your service sir.
Danny aye thanks mate i appreciate that an yes those are the roles i’m interested in, working harder everyday brother. ya never know, but if i end up making it in i might see you out in the field someday 👌🏼. in the meantime good luck with your goals an take care mate 🍻
@@maxwqll_HLL Did you enlist and what role?
Cas, this is a great video and really well put together. Thanks again for taking the time to put these together and making us all much better informed. 🇦🇺👍🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it! I did to pressing the Publish button after you have done the work is a good feeling indeed and thank you for your continual support will have to start calling you the bra for the support you give me lol
@@inthetrencheswithcas1762 haha, you do a great job Cas, happy to be your double D support 🤗
Great vid as usual. I will be applying as soon as I get a referral from an eye specialist to say I’m good to go. Got classed as medically unfit in 2013 for having an eye condition so just went on with life but I am now keen to try and appeal that decision and finally live the army life. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
What a great video! This is an awesome production 💪
What a great moderator and Board Member to In The Trenches With Cas even on Sunday xx
In The Trenches With Cas I see what you did there 😉
Damn right about not doing it for pay but because you want to follow a dream or serve etc.
I’ll be taking a 10-15k pay cut once I’m through training, but I want a fulfilling and meaningful job in the ADF.
Cheers for all you do Cas
Dusty when you look at the whole package with service allowance free medical, adventure and holidays you will be far better off and stoked with your decision and I will be here with the heater on watching your journey
Great edits (classic film clips), and adlibs, great seriousness mixed with levity. ✊🙏🇳🇿
Glad you enjoyed it they are fun to make but very time consuming I really enjoy seeing the reaction mate
There's nothing worse than living with regret. When I was 19 and enlisted I DOR'd at the end of kapooka. Im 41 now and feel I missed out on the big adventure and living a wasted life.
Mate I am sorry to hear this and yes sadly you missed out and your life would have been so much different if you had stayed but hey all is good your comment is welcome but also very wise thank you Sir..
If you ever need a chat come find me on patreon and we can have a chat and laugh about the situation rather than dwell on it friend.
Another champion video.!!!
Brent O Brien more to come mate cheers for the encouragement but mate
Hey cas, I’m planning on signing up next year, but I have slightly less hearing in only my left ear. I was wondering if you would know if id still be able to get into the Infantry at all?
You will undergo a hearing test during the assessment session and then they will let you know if it is within the tolerance mate so keep going ahead like you will be accepted and maybe you will be I look forward to hearing how it goes.
Thanks for the heads up cas
Classic love this! 😂
Glad you enjoyed mate and hope 2020 hasn’t hurt to much for you mate
My auntie and uncle was in the army with my uncle having the chance to go and serve over im Timor.
Im currently just about finished with my year 10 maths and English and am looking to enlist as a submariner.
My auntie seems to think my asthma may be an issue. Its under control with preventers and relievers and rarely ever am i finding myself in an attack anymore. What are your thoughts on this, love what you do Cas, thanks for the weekly vids mate.
Turns boys into men, it's the ride of your life, and a brotherhood for life, be a proud aussie love country, ur flag an fellow Australians an serve in the ADF I had the time of my life. If ur going to.be a medic an end up with grunts have patients! Lots of patients!
It's been my child hood dream to serve in the army, im trying my hardest to get into shape but can't feel or see any change it's sort of getting to me abit. I feel like I'm failing but I'm not going give up on my dream
The only reason I would give someone not to join the army or the ADF in General would be if you are not prepared to take a life or lay down your life to protect your brothers and sisters and your home land witch is Australia if you are not ready or willing or prepared to lay your life down in the defence of this country and your family mates brother and sister don’t join if you are prepared to go for it just make sure you know 100% this is what you want to do
Got my OSB for the Reserves on 20th August. It’s been a slow process but I’m nearly there.
2 things. Leadership potential and Communication skills. Good luck.
If you hadn’t join the army Cas I reckon you’d have become a chippy, probably have started a dodgy property development firm and rode the boom of the past 15 years and cashed out to live a life of models and bottles
I'm thinking of signing on for the army but it don't think I'm fit enough
@@mitchellprentice7265 Work on it man.
It is all a mind game.
@@mitchellprentice7265 they got a program in Kapooka that help get those not in shape fit for actual training
Bob Barnes Only for females though. Go and start doing F45, CrossFit, boxing or 12 Round if you’re concerned about your fitness. However don’t think that the army will make you fit with no effort on your behalf.
@@supatotenkopf88 Nope they have allowed males in it since the beginning of the year, i know plenty of people that went through it when i was in Kapooka
My name is Saswat. I have made the choice. The Royal Australian Army it is. Got my assessment day this month.
Hi Cas, just came across your channel last night and subscribed after the first video!
I'm looking to rejoin the reserves now at 37 as a General Service Officer to complement my civil Project Manager role and vice versa. My assessment day is next Thursday (Psych already done). I'm fit, and managed to avoid any serious injuries so that's all good.
Do you see my age of an issue?
I'm going ahead ether way, just value your honest approach to providing feedback.
Reserves is totally different in regards to age etc so no sweat and today you are doing your session which is exciting can't wait to hear the excitement in your voice soon to be Sir.
@@inthetrencheswithcas1762 Thanks for the response. Yes, Assessment Session is done and I'm through to the OSB (no date yet)!
Bro I think we went to school together.
Mrs Borkevich was my English Teacher Newy High.
Dunny and Mackie said to say gday
Hey Sin, lol mrs Borkevich told me to enlist in the army and school results meant nothing for a soldier yet my life has been amazing while being immersed in actual modern history being made in location, the irony…
Gday to Dunny and Mack mate
18 and enlisting in RAAF on the 11th of Aug
Great job not long mate subscribe and watch the streams mate you will be on the list of call outs for the 11th
If i don't in I will go emergency services to serve my community ina different way but until they say I can't apply I will keep trying no regrets i should have joined when I had the chance at 18 is my only regret really
CLXV Kynan Penhale hey peppers I’m hearing you mate I wonder what I’d do if I didn’t have the breaks I had but earnt through my journeys
I just ignore them if they say I can’t make it
There is always an element of jealousy when people try to bring you down hey..
@@inthetrencheswithcas1762 yeah my family happy with it just friends an I just use it as motivation
Got my PFA on the 26th of this month and can’t wait to get stuck in
Matt Linz great news mate blitz it and you may get a position sooner than you realise
Love the content Cas, I want to enlist again
Me to Slim let’s go back as a package deal lol
Yep done,
just gotta get clearance from OIC homefront
Duty first
Duty First back at ya mate that's why I do this
Great! lov ya bro
Mick Ibrahim we help where we can mate glad you enjoyed
Hey Cas, in your opinion is 17 too young to do intelligence in RAAF?? I have passed my assessment day and feel like I am okay, but I have read that often 17 year olds are told to apply again in a couple years once they have more life experience. Do you have any knowledge on this? Thanks :)
Has anyone 41 plus yrs of age ever qualified for special forces ?
Yes but normally they have already been serving for many years in Infantry Battalions maybe you could be first mate..
Hey cas, been watching your vids since before I enlisted. You’ve been a great help. I’ve just finished my IET and am getting posted to SOLS as a cook 👨🍳
Badgeys Back great news right there and awesome you got another crack at it..
Let’s us know how you like it this time around mate
I won’t be able to join cause I’m not smart enough in mathematics and didn’t complete year 10 but I dropped out to get my cert 3 in automotive and left that cause I’ve changed my interests into the army but have been tryna change my physical and mental health lately and I’m getting better but my dream is to be a soldier and to serve for my country with fellow brothers and sisters
Sono in servizio da 14 anni nell'esercito italiano missioni all'estero di cui 1 con il tacp e anche a livello nazionale, posso entrare nell'esercito Australiano?
I regret not joining at 19 now im 28 and I want to join! Is that too old now or?
hey mate I joined at 19 bloody glad I did to but no mate it is not to old for any CORP but make a move now what's holding you back matey?
I have the calling my only concern is how shit I am at maths.
Yes mate the aptitude test is a scary thing did you pass year 10 English and maths?
@@inthetrencheswithcas1762 yeah mate I did pass but from what Ive seen on the test its algebra. Im guessing the only thing I can do is man up and study.
I applied when i was 17 and got accepted but never made it to the bus. My girlfriend at that time fell pregnant and convinced me not to go. Fast forward im 33 now had 2 kids both in there teens. They can look after themselves and my passion and fire for becoming a rifleman has come back. Also being a labourer for the rest of my life sucks haha.
Hey Cas, would you recommend someone joining in there mid 30s?
30 or 39 there is a big difference mate can you clarify and also throw in what CORP's you would want to serve in matey.
What do you do at the moment?
@@inthetrencheswithcas1762 Im 32 and looking to join the army corp as an aviation ground crew or military police. Currently out of work due to covid but was working at coles as a filler and duty manager also working a cook.
I’m even more motivated 👌🏽
Thats the goal mate looking forward to you getting closer to your Dream Career and making those mates for life
It was DFR that stopped me lol
What reason did they give you mate?
@@inthetrencheswithcas1762 They wanted me to go to uni for "Maturity"
Callum Campbell that is weird as hell uni does the opposite, responsibility and working in an adult environment with expectation from an employer attached to a timeline is what makes maturity and also I’ll take responsibility over maturity I want people to have that fun loving mind set and random sense of humour
@@inthetrencheswithcas1762 I was aiming for Ordanance Officer or Intel officer, so thats possibly why, and I didn't want to go to ADFA
@@inthetrencheswithcas1762 It weird that you say that because I am self employed, as well as work a casual job, whilst studying
What are your thoughts on reenlisting at 28. Going through Kapooka and Singo again
Never too old mate I marched out at 27 years old.
@@littlemang69 Yeah I was 19 when I marched out. Just not sure if I could cop the regi BS again at 28 though, especially Kapooka...
Thanks for the vids Caz. It's been a while, but seeing this reminded me why I've made my decisions.
Stand Fast hey mate hows it all gone for you great i hope and tell me is it as good as what i said if you took away the frustrations....
@@inthetrencheswithcas1762 hey mate. Yeah it's all good. I was originally hoping to experience a bit more of the green/Army life, but not much opportunity in aviation. Can't complain about an aircon office when living in Darwin though.
Hi Cas, I've made the call, waiting on a you session, want to do infantry, chocco reserve, I'm 36 have a wife and 3yo son. Have visible tattoos on fingers and neck, if they reject me my other option is adgy. Any chance we could have a quick chat on the phone and get some advice from you.?
Hey cas at 5'7 am I at a disadvantage for infantry I've heard I need to be 6'0.
Lol. And chiseled abs, and the special gleam in your eyes.
Hey Cas I am considering joining next year as I have to work on my fitness and meet the BMI should I contact them now or wait till next year when I am ready to go in?
Hey Cas, I was wondering if there’s any other way to join the army if I fail English and math in year 10 since that’s the educational standard?
Hey mate, I'm enlisting on the 15th of sep. I left school in year 9 to do my apprenticeship and after my you session they told me the equivalency that I had to do at tafe to get the required education standards, hope that helps mate.
Ok thanks mate
@t.t Bulkoch Not to bad to be honest mate, I did a bit of a freshening up on basic math you learn at high school and the aptitude practice stuff with like verbal and abstract reasoning online, alot of good resources online to get ready.
Hey Cas, Been watching your videos for a couple years now when I was first interested in joining the ADF. Fast track to now and I just received a recommendation from the Officers Selection Board for an Army Officer (Reserve) about a week ago. Is there anything else I can do to make my merit list rank stronger? Or is it a "Hurry up and wait" situation? Also, how often does Kapooka have intakes for Army Officer Reservists?
Cheers, Cas :)
Congrats on the recommendation. I doubt there's anything you can do now to improve your ranking, you left it all in the osb. It's all a waiting game now. Good luck.
At 35 I'm attempting my application, its going to be a grind but I'm not going to let up until I'm cleared for entry. Its the only thing I haven't achieved that I have always wanted to do.
Would love some guidance on where to find better detail on combat job rolls.
drives a hard bargain for sure
Just had my medical today and got unfit for colour perception . I found out today therefore I can’t get infantry roll , can’t get combat engineer roll ... and they say you can’t apply for special forces later on in life .. I am feeling very down after everything went all smooth.. any advice . ?im very devastated .. for last 6 months I trained for it..I don’t know what to do... I’m depressed now .my career end b4 even it started.. I set my goal this year to be in the infantry.. and it’s not happening anymore..biggest shock of my life.
do you need to passes yr 10 math's/English to join the infantry soldier I was in the (AAC) will that help me to join that job roll.
Yes you do
Aspire to be special forces down the track joining up end of year 12 got 1 more year to go, gonna try n get into artillery operator or infantry
Hey I love to join army but unfortunately I have some doubt on myself because I am not good in write it's my 3rd laugungs so does the writing is So important to know if I join army ????
I’ve got my assessment day late November when I’ll be 17 and a half. I’m in top physical condition aswell as mental, I’ve got commando as my first option (I’ve talked to two former commandos before doing that) and Ofcourse I need a backup plan so I’ve chosen infantry and was wondering how do you get assigned to a Regiment? Because if commandos doesn’t workout I would love to go to 2RAR
If you don't make commandos they send you to Infantry's
Bob Barnes I know but I would really prefer 2RAR over the other infantry regiments
G’day Cas, my name is Eric. I have previously been in prison in Victoria. Can I still be looked at for enlistment to the ADF?
I got a bit of a long distance vision problem, can I just get contacts and still join fine? I don't like glasses lol
I’m leaving 5 of April for basic 👌👌
Everytime i see adf march's i get a sense of just, thats something i want to do but i've got things going against and im afraid im to dumb to even get in.
if i wanted to become an army lawyer can i still be trained as a soldier and be qualified as one?
Hi cas, im 17 in november and am going for my interview and assessments on the 28th this month, what are my chances of joining as a 17 year old?
Coops it really comes down to positions in what your chasing being 17 will put you at the bottom of the pack beside 18 year adults and above as you will be classed as a minor and it is not worth dropping out of school for a maybe at this stage so when you turn 17 let's have a chat about your weight, fitness and education scores and go from there mate.
First comment great job.
@@inthetrencheswithcas1762 Thanks for the response cas, im not gonna be dropping out of school now, if i get in i get in and if i dont then i will continue with my educations, I do have my interview and assessments on the 28th so like is there anything that you could tell me which i should and shouldnt do? Again thanks for the response and im glad to be the first comment.
Cas I'm 18 year old I've wanting to join the army for 8 years
but the only thing holding me back is my fitness I've been workin out 5 days a week but still worrying about it
fitness shouldn't be an issue. go for a run. do the mock fitness test...
Hey Cas got my enlistment date on the 15th of September!!
Cool there are a lot of others too mate, your on the list what CORP are you going for
@@inthetrencheswithcas1762 Full time Infantry
How long did the process take for enlistment date?iv got my careers coach phone call this Monday
"What's stopping you?"
DFR hahaha because I didn't fit in their gender and diversity quota xD
Want to serve, Want to do my part, but the politics and the utter BS involved (even in the recruitment stage) was just ridiculous. DFR can't give a straight and correct answer about anything and will literally lie to your face just to get applications in and butts on seats.... Safe to say looking into more international options might be required, I'm 24 and have applied numerous times since 2012 (left school at the end of year 10 to apply) and it's just pretty disheartening to see defence take the gender diversity SJW agenda a bit too far.
** I'm all for equality of opportunity, not of outcome. If you don't understand why having jobs open to females for 6 weeks before letting blokes apply and accepting sub standard applicants based on their gender rather than ability is a bad thing (especially when people's lives are at risk) you might be part of the problem. *rant over*
Greg Harriage sadly there may be some truth to that mate have you considered transitioning
@@inthetrencheswithcas1762 mate I moved straight back to civi street the second the Cpl at the barracks here in Melbourne said it was a 3 year wait for fully qualified NCOs to transfer from reserves to full time... I was looking at a part time gig for about 5 years before being able to move to full time infantry... Shortly after this revelation they re opened the job to guys... So I had the wait while they were taking applications from civi street who didn't have to wait 5 years. (I was told on more than one occasion that transfer times were a lot closer to 12 months by DFR)
Hey Cas, I was always going to join & I never did. I left school after grade 10, worked in the building industry & started an apprenticeship. I’m now a qualified builder & an aircon technician, married with 2 kids. I am 42 years old & thinking about joining the reserves. My wife is against it. Haha...
I’ve always been fit & I train hard & I’m a hard worker. What are your thoughts Cas about joining at my age?
I love your videos mate👌
Cheers.
I tried enlisting, got knocked back tho cause I’m p3 colour blind and have dysgraphia and not sure appealing is worth it for the remaining roles 😕
Oliver nichols mate so sorry to hear your news hope your ok mate let’s start thinking of a plan B for you mate.
I would mate I went through training with a guy who was colour blind and also had ACL surgery.
The missus said no and I’m scared of the devil
But going to the recruiter soon don’t tell her
Tyson how old are you at the moment mate
Tyson I’d say respect what she has to say but then still follow your career 100% if you don’t have kids it’s only your decision or you could and probably end up regretting your decisions for life
In The Trenches With Cas I’m 19
10:44 Oh Goshi, what just happened?
