Happy days!! Good luck 👊

Best get to work 👊

Cheers bud 👊

No, there is no drug test as far as the assessment center and before you get in the army however, there is a drug test when your at basic training around about halfway through just after you return from a long weekend off. This might have changed since I joined, but I’m pretty sure it probably is the same.

Run run run mate, check my recent video th-cam.com/video/4t0I5EkLJhQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=IhJzijwxVizDKH13

They are reserves, think that probably says enough. Still tough to get in like, so kudos to them but if you asked any 22 lads they would probably disagree

@@KyleSmithFIT "they would probably disagree". According the info on the web the training pipeline is the same.

@@anon2034 umm I thought they missed out certain elements and did it over a longer period of time. Over the course of weekends etc… I could be wrong I have never gave it a go so I have not experienced what it entails.

@@KyleSmithFIT Have you contemplated going to such a course? I read that there are fatalities even in selection.

@@anon2034 nooooo I’m done with the military now mate. Still enjoy talking about and the fitness aspect but that’s enough 😀

Happy days mate, sounds like your working hard. 👊

Cheers bud, happy to help 👊

No worries mate! Glad to have helped

Keep going, consistency is king. Keep putting the effort in you will get there. 👍

involving myself with a specialist roles will also up my salary

You can easily save for a house, car etc, just gotta be smart with your money and not blow it all (like I did by the way 🤣). Basic training your meals and accommodation comes straight out your pay so you don’t even notice it and it’s very very cheap, talking like less that £100 quid for both food and accommodation. At your unit you pay for accommodation straight out your pay so again you don’t see the money and it’s Less than 100 a month. Food you have a cook house where you have to pay for food but I used to use the kitchen in the block and just shop for myself. I used to spend £30 a week and be fine but it will be a bit more than that these days. If you’re clever with your money you can have like 2 outgoings a month, your phone and food. Rest could be saved

Thanks much appreciated 👊

Good stuff mate keep the hard work going!

Cheers bud 👊

You need to give 1 year notice before leaving

When i left the reserves i just left there was no notice required. Not sure if this has changed. In the regulars you must have done at least 4 years before you leave and give 1 year notice at the time of leaving.

Apply for it and pass the requirements

Very strange mate, medical system is broken 😞

Always depends on the job role mate, can take years if your wanting to join something very niche eg. Dog handler, or something extremely popular like a combat med technician

Good luck 👊

I believe they do have a choice but someone can correct me if I’m wrong

@ ohh so if they didn’t want to go to war they have a choice I didn’t know that

@ to be honest mate, I think at times like now you would have a choice but if WW3 kicked off it might be a case of you have no choice

@ yeah I get you but I don’t mind going away but I just want to find the right regiment for me and just train to be best I can be and if it comes to it I decide what I want to do because I’m joining reserves

Umm I’m not sure mate to be honest, don’t really check my HR when I’m not running 😆

@ haha cheers mate

Good luck, mines on the 2nd of Feb. What role you going for?

@@frankparker245 parra. Wbu and are you trying to go to harrogate

Sorry for the late reply, mate. im going para, hopefully. Wbu, and are you going to harrogate ​@frankparker245

Each to their own, if you think that’s something you’ll enjoy then go for it. 👊

If you say so bud

@KyleSmithFIT no I say get some mates or a bird u wet wipe

Why is bro so mad lmao

@@Hellohhhhhh dunno, someone pissed in his cheerios

@@KyleSmithFIT 🤣🤣🤣

I believe it’s at Pirbright camp in Salisbury

I believe you do it at the assessment centre now Mate back in my day he used to do it at the careers office but I think we’ve stepped away from that now

@KyleSmithFIT Where is the Assessment centre located and I sent you a message in instagram can u please answer me I wanna ask something in private!!

The REM maintain and repair Army equipment, while the Royal Engineers provide engineering support to the British Army in all area for example building bridges etc

Thanks, will do!

Cheers bud much appreciated 👊

No mate, I joined cause I needed to do some constructive and something that was going to sort me out and get me on the straight and narrow. The enjoyment for the army came naturally as I went through training

Mate you gotta do what’s right for you, if you didn’t like it you didn’t like. Joining the parachute regiment is very very difficult, it’s an acquired taste in terms of how they treat you through training and at your unit, it not easy for them first few years. You may have joined a different role more you may not have, as long as your happy with what your doing now bud I don’t think it matters. Keep doing you 👊

I do live streams every week mate, on a weekend I will be put a time out over the coming days

Erm, study I guess mate not a lot else you can do. Why don’t you start the process see how you get on and if you fail go away and study so you can pass

@KyleSmithFIT I can't continue study anymore I left school in my 9th grade now I'm 18 years old, If I wanna join the Infantry I don't need to have any formal qualifications!?

New balance fuel cell V4, really good for tempo work as they are light as a feather but they also have really good cushion so I don’t mind wearing them on easy runs

I would say yes then, if your not worried about being away from home due to responsibilities etc, then go for it

Train for it but don’t be to hard on yourself if you don’t get the time you want it’s very busy and can be hard to get moving at the paces you want, constantly weaving in and out of people. Get there early so you can use the toilet and get in to your pen, again it’s very busy. It’s just a good class event in my opinion, just enjoy it

@ cheers mate haha I’ll be a bag of nerves like yeah a lot of people are saying don’t go for a time as it’s my first one I know it starts at 11 but I still watched people coming through the start line at 1

@ if it’s your first half marathon, obviously push yourself but just try to enjoy it. Get your time then make a plan to improve is what I would say.

@@KyleSmithFIT thank you mate I’m thinking around 2 hours and a half I can do 6 mile at a hour at the minute and only been running since January last year

@ yeah mate, if your consistent between now and then you could probably go for quicker. There is plenty of time

Coming soon! 👊

I can’t sorry, haven’t got a clue how it works unfortunately.

Cheer pal, hope your well.

Good stuff mate, keep it going. 4 months of solid work on the diet and fitness you’ll be in a good spot 👊
