- Final Exercise of British Army Infantry Basic Training.
The penultimate part of the Civilian To Soldier series. Final Ex and a parade.
A busy exercise full of attacks that tests the recruits individual skills and drills, their tactical knowledge and soldering ability. Barely any sleep, lots of offensive actions and in cold conditions, this exercise put the recruits through their paces.
This video shows you everything involved in Phase One training; from the day you arrive to the day you earn your regimental headdress after passing the drill test; from start to finish. It is the complete phase one basic training experience.
1 WEEK LEFT!

A fitting finale especially with the Fijian troops singing at the end. Good luck to all on joining your regiments.
Agreed. Was a special moment
Just heard today my boy has passed his all his final exercises and is on the 1st final commando test tomorrow! Beyond proud!
Them lads singing like that was very moving. Well done to every one of them. Hope they all go on to have great careers.
I've heard that Fiji army lads that served in Afghan and their families have lost the right to be in Britain and will be deported ... everyone must get behind them and help .. please spread the word !
They're not just sent back to Fiji, like everyone who goes in the army, you're not just cut off
@@insertnamehere5660 it said on the news that they lost the right to be here in Britain? Do you know something that can help ?
@@paulmorgan3600 they are allowed to apply for UK citizenship from their dedication to the country, this is the reason the Gurkhas have their own little town at Catterick, because they all applied for their own citizenships
Because they're Fijian not British, how hard is that to understand ?
Judging by the way the lads smashed the casevac, you and the team have done a brilliant job, that was a blasting effort. Very impressed.
Much appreciated! They've worked hard for the last 6 months. Credit to them
i think that there should be a civilian to soldier season 2!! I have loved seeing this kind of content and i could watch it again which a new unit for sure.
You never know! Glad you've enjoyed it mate
Just left after 6 years serving in the R.E, and this is incredibly nostalgic already. Would love to see more!
Buzzing to start basic at Pirbright on the 21st February
Went to Fort Benning in the US for my basic got to say British Basic is way different. Not worse just different. Honestly I could not say which is better. The British have a very proud history of hard core soldiers.
Really enjoyed the video. Love the song from my fijian brothers 🇫🇯. Thanks for sharing such awesome videos. 👍🏾 God bless you.
As a rugby fan looking to join, i love the fact the commonwealth troops are allowed to bring their culuture into the army💪🏼
Agreed! It's a real bonus
No, different cultures create divisions we don't need in the military.
@@snowflakemelter1172 the British army has always been multicultural hasn't it?
@@NUFC975 no. Any non white forces in the empire were separate from the British Army. The Gurkhas are all within their own regiment and keep themselves to themselves.
@@NUFC975 always has.
Excellent documentary on the transformation to an infantryman. It is nice to see how our brothers and sisters in the British army train. Bit different from my training in the American army in infantry school. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve watched all of these videos since applying for the army
I’m hooked and more than excited for such a hard and tough experience
Thank you for I guess you could say the encouragement to push myself further into my army career 💪🏻
lets reach this guy to 10k before next year
Haha thank you! Fingers crossed
i love the music or song from the guys. wishing to see myself completing on a day like that
Thanks Captain wow this is smashing esp love the attack section which took place whiles in the truck and their reaction kudos to all. Great song from the Fijians as usual they love singing this particular song for courage💪🔥
Thanks Jerry, appreciate that mate. A fantastic way to end it
Mate they look mint, well done to all of the lads, I wish them the best of luck!
my stay at ITC(C) Starts January 9th 2022 and i am so excited... nervous but excited to meet the people who'll be serving along side me! Your channel is incredible thank you @djrxp
Going into the military when I leave college I cant wait!!
you’ll need to do lots of tests, based on your score if you passed you’ll know what role you’re suitable for you will do this at your local recruitment centre with various of online knowledge based tests carried out on what you know or what you can do aka again at your careers centre plus you need to sign up online to join you need to check if your eligible first good luck to you
watched all the way through, fuckin well done boys, amps me up! cannot wait to get in.
Edit - Also massive well done @djrxp for articulating what training is like, you have done a phenomenal job for the online community, your regiment and those boys there, good man.
Top man, thanks for that, I appreciate the kind words🙏
Bloody awesome video - one of the best you've done. Well done to all the guys.
Thank you mate, hugely appreciated!
Love it, recently attested as a reserve and start training soon.
Very close to going regular and this channel has made the decision less daunting.
Keep it going mate.
Great to hear! Thanks man
Well done to everyone involved in the training exercise.
💪
Best one yet! Well done @djrxp
Cheers mate👌
That was a superb video ! Thoroughly enjoyed watching that :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video thank you
Thanks so much guys.You did yourself proud and so does your home proud.Vinaka vakalevu and for the video✌🏾✌🏾
That was epic, you guys should be taken to every pass out parade 👍 congratulations to you all, hope you have a long and enjoyable career in your respective battalions.
Thanks! Glad you liked it mate.
Love the ending
Awesome isn't it!
Mint content can’t wait to get started
I only passed out 3 years ago and the fact lftt has a compound clearance now is great
Brilliant video, and love the choir! Still not sure on the 'tache though! ;)
Awesome video!
Thanks mukkr
Such an honour to call a Fijian a friend and let’s hope the grog went down well 😂😂😂
This is a fantastic insight to what I'll be experiencing in January. Can't wait to start my basic training!
@@nathanjarvis8420 I'm set to arrive at Catterick ITC on the 3rd of January what about yourself??
@@Crimson_MMXX I’m going pirbright for royal artillery light gunner on the 3rd of jan too lol
Best of luck to you both.
Good luck lads
@@djrxp thank you. I cant wait to be out there now.
These videos made me so excited and helped me to finally set on joining the army**** hailing from an commonwealth country. Wish me luck
Good luck!
Hey nice exercise from the soldiers,Thanks for the video,have a good 2 advent.
Thanks, you too!
Fantastic all good luck to all the infantry guys wishing each them always the best,may God and Jesus bless you all your so brave xxxxxxxx
Some sound videos coming out of here really cool to see how it all comes together cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it mate
Class!
💪
Lovleh stuff Sir
Thanks👌
awesome
Nice.
I would be very happy if you make a video of the 2km run test 🙏🏾
I really wish they could’ve gotten a passing out parade 😢 I really wanted to see them in their ceremonial kit looking all sharp.
But WELL DONE GUYS 🙌🙌🙌
Yeah it is a shame. But it's odd times we are in. Hopefully it will be back to normal soon
@@djrxp yeah I really do hope so. I really can’t wait for them to start taking in commonwealth citizens again 😭
Best time at ITC was 2008 to 2010 as AAPTI, best time of my life. In the US Army - Infantry since 2012, I have to say I miss the British Army - Yorkshire Reg (PWO)!!!
Ibwas in catterick may 2003 had some of the best fijian lads there lost a brother just after that in Iraq edward vakabua what a legend not forgotten swift and bold brother x
S&B, up the 4th
Great 📹s! 👍 Did they not do Battle Camp at the end of the course?
Thanks mate! No, no battle camp
Have enjoyed watching the videos all through lockdown. Slightly random question, but when you're on exercise, how much do you and the section Cpls rehearse what you're going to do in an attack? Do you "script" it as a training team before taking the recruits through, or do you just command the sections/ platoon the same as if you were part of a "normal" exercise with your battalions? Cheers mate!
Good question. It is mainly the platoon commanders that will plan the exercises. Sometimes we know exactly what is going to happen, on other occasions we don't. It's a mix
Great video mate just got my date for basic on 24th January can’t wait
Me too mate !! What regement are you joining?
Thanks mate. Best of luck!
@@joshuapearce5829 fusiliers mate u?
@@djrxp cheers
@@jackrobson5999 what are the chances of that me too !!
I've enjoyed watching all of these whilst waiting for a date to go to Westbury. Would we be able to see any content aimed specifically at aspiring Officers? Seems to be distinctly lacking here on UA-cam other than the odd, outdated documentaries
I hear you. Quite a few asking for similar sort of stuff. Definitely looking into it
I remember my training as if it was yesterday we called it battle camp.It was so different then and a much larger army we trained in infantry divisions mine was strencil in York at that time was the Kings division with kings own Royal Border regiment The Kings regt, Queens Lancashire regt,Duke of Wellingtons,Green howards,Prince of Wales regt Yorkshire and the Irish rangers in 1986 sadly all gone now due to cuts.
Training is still done in Divisions:
Household Division
Queen’s Division
King’s Division
Scottish, Welsh and Irish Division
Rifles (Light Division)
What webbing do you use and can you please do a video on it
Did a 3 week battle camp at end of my training it was all live firing no blanks on exercise
Cheers Rambo.
Watching this makes me want to start already haha anyone start at catterick 24th jan ?
Haha! Good luck for Jan!
Wow it's lovely to those from Fuji sing, it sounds like a community and bonding exercises, they sound like South Africans
It was epic!
@@djrxp wow😲, it's an honour sir for you to reply to me, I am truly honoured, thanks sir
Do you run any of the training at ITC?? Wondering if I'll meet you in January haha.
can you do uncut videos of the entire exercises?
Not a bad shout but that video would be mega long
Grow that stache out permanently man.
Haha I am considering it!
@@djrxp hard drive check 0600 if you do.
Do you not go to gealoch head any more ?
just got my assement date for the 3rd of February at Pirbright cant wait .
god help you
@@clonewarsstopmotion9096 why god help him?
@@LondonDelivery cus one of my friends said there the strictest infantry staff sergeants from all the infantry ballacks
@@clonewarsstopmotion9096 I thought catterick was supposed to be, Ive an assessment on 2nd at Pirbright, I'm hoping to join int corps or signals if I don't get into int
When is the army taking in commonwealth countries
Awesome penultimate video. Really enjoyed watching the series!
Has training been shortened or does it remain as usual?
I believe it remains the same length but incorporates covid 19 regulations, such as social distancing, etc
There has been a lot of changes; no swimming lessons, we did not get any weekend leave etc
@@NINJASWORDification ahh, right on. Thank you for the reply!
@@NINJASWORDification Mhm
This course was a few weeks shorter than the regular course, due to COVID. All the exercises etc have remained the same
Sir, I'm sorry to tell you that no matter how many videos I watch of the British Army, it gives me no other impression that they are unfortunate children raised playing Playstation and with a crippled and puny little body. The spanish soldiers are terrifying. Big, strong, with wild beard, fierce appearance ...
yet they have excelled in every major conflict they have been involved in!
My final ex starts tomorrow, fun times
I am genuinly intrested if height really matters when enlisting in the mil.. , I am about 5,4_5,5 in and does it depend on the country or is a standard thing throught the world , would appriciate a reply . Thankz
Do you think the British Army will accept applications from commonwealth citizens outside of the uk? Have those who previously applied been called for assessment and training??
Can the recruits record stuff/take pictures?
Hey, I’m hoping to join the British Army, I’m 17, and I’m unsure on what path I’m wanting to take, i noticed it doesn’t require maths and English to join, which is a good option for me since I’m struggling them, what can I do to help with my fitness.. I want to get into physical exercise, I just don’t know what or where to start of and the most suitable option? Thank you
Were is the graduation 🎓? In Jamaica soiders graduate
Does anyone know if are they completing basic training or they’re undergoing infantry training post basic
I'll start by saying this was a fantastic series and a good insight in to what these brave young men and women have gone through to get where they are. But am I the only one to think their been ROBBED. What a disgrace. For some of these young one's this would have been their first proper achievement. Why no number 2s uniform? This should be their proudest moment all gleaming and shinning. What a shame. Good work to every one of them. 💪🏻🏴😷
Thanks Michael, I'm glad you've enjoyed it. It is a huge shame that they haven't been able to have a proper Pass Out parade. This is due to COVID circumstances and the No. 2s is due to the same factor unfortunately
Was this all filmed last week? If so we were in the woods just behind the farmhouse where you had the parade. Heard a Fijian choir
That would've been us!
What happens after basic training? Like ik u go to ur battalion but what happens?
Kudos to our Fijian sons & daughters, who are always proud to exhibit their heritage and identity and most of all their faith in God wherever they go.
Parade at the end, Newfound England Farm?
Good spot Andy👌
@@djrxp spent a few days there last year on Reserves exercise. What is it with you training team lot and casevacs? 😂😂😂
Lovely when i was a soldier there were no fan fares.
Did intro 3 there was the most depressing time in my life
Have you served in Afghanistan? What is the success rate of passing out training?
How long is phase one and phase 2? For like the rifles regiment?
Its exactly what I've put on this series. Phase 1 typically 12 weeks. Phase 2 typically 14 weeks
I'm a 29 year old who's had 5 collapsed lungs and can run the 1.5 mile in 10 mins flat. Been given the all clear medical wise, going to continue my training until I lose my pork belly and man tits then I'm going to push for 2 Royal Anglian.
I see pita everest
Is this cleared by Army Comms??
I can run decently and lift pretty good. Aka I pass the RFT for assessment. But I carry a fair bit of weight. Could that cause a fail?
If you can pass the tests at assessment you'll be fine mate, the PTI's at phase 1 will get everyone where they need to be
@@AverageKrubersreik5Enjoyer thank you mate I appreciate the reply :)
@@Chinny42nd No problem buddy
@@AverageKrubersreik5Enjoyer 3 years later, had some medical issues that stopped me heading to assessment (personal but nothing serious). But I start training in feb, i lost that damn weight haha
@@Chinny42nd 3 years later is better than never matey!! Good luck with training, you'll smash it!
Anyone going on the 3rd January
Yeh but I’m going pirbright not catterick
What is the best way to train to join I’m 15 and looking to join after I leave school.How old do you have to be to join also?
You can do the junior entry and go to AFC Harrogate at 16
@@djrxp what kind of training would U recommend i do now to prepare like running?
@@loganwilliams1857 Start running 1.2miles/2k everyday or every other day
FTX on CTA buckers
They have no idea
wait. are we allowed to have staches now in the military?
For “Movember”
@@tomstravels520 damn. i was getting excited for a second there haha
Who says you can't have a tash?
You can grow a tash. Pretty sure your Chain of Command have to approve it first. Then it has to meet some requirements
what regiment is that
This is a training battalion. Once the recruits finish training they will go to regiments across the Infantry
@@djrxp oh so they all train together👍👍
Who chooses who gets the GPMG
Usually the best one with the best drills gets to use the GPMG towards final ex and onwards. Everyone gets trained to use it though in phase 1 and 2 I believe at ITC
@@daley5186 noice cheers mate
Daley is pretty much spot on. Just to add, the section commanders will make sure that the soldier with the GPMG is good with it. The platoon commander will usually keep the gunners close by
I thought the Final Exercise was LFTT? Has this been changed or am I wrong.
Final Ex is different to LFTT. They are both assessments in the final stages of training and you have to pass both to complete Infantry training
@@djrxp ah I see. Thanks
Hello.. How's everyone... Ive student visa so I was asking whether I've a chance to join army
Unfortunately not

Don't recruits graduate in the British army
Fix your shirt it needs ironing
Sorry Sgt
Er... OK. That was the bullshit "there is soft grass and nice flat paths everywhere" training. Now where is the REAL BRITISH WILDERNESS training? There wasn't even any water at all. Does anyone there even know how to swim??!?
