    Really appreciate this video mate it has given me a lot of clarity on what to expect especially as someone going in as a reserve rather than regular (reMe), attending my assessment next week at Glencourse.
    It doesn't seem as daunting as I first thought.
    Congrats on making it to 4Para as well

    Hi Kian, excellent run through - really appreciate the advice! Congrats on passing and going on to 4PARA. i am currently training for the assessment and hopefully joining 4PARA too!
    It would be really useful if you create more videos sharing your experiences and more specifically how reserve training and commitments is different form the regulars, the Army website and resources don't do a great job in making this clear, I keep hearing different things and seems very unit dependent which does make sense.

    • @aJOEKian
      @aJOEKian  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks mate, and that's great, best of luck to you! Agree the website isn't the most informative but the training is correct for 4Para - it is mostly weekends unless you're doing a specific course such as the infantrymen, which is then a 2 week stint at Catterick. I start mine in the new year so will be able to find out more, shortly!

    • @aJOEKian
      @aJOEKian  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No, the entry is the same. Get 11.3 on bleep and you can start with them but you will be expected to have a high level of fitness before basic, and then they train you progressively throughout to build up to P Coy. You do the PRAC sort of stuff later down the line and will be tested on those activities throughout

    Hi I don’t know if you will read or even see this message but I wanted to at least try. I’ve been thinking about joining the army for a while and become a infantry soldier. I have seen you don’t need any qualifications or GCSEs and when I was younger I was never really the behaved student and for that reason I missed out on a lot of maths classes. And sadly now I really suck at anything related to maths. And I am worried that I will have any problems like that if I join. If I could get a reply that would help me a lot.

      If you don't have English and maths certificates, you sit a basic test for both of them during your time at selection. One of the first admin parts you get sorted is showing staff if you have certificates or not and it's just a simple yes, here they are or no I don't have them, and they mark you down to take the test on the first full day (same day as mwdical)

      I think you can still pass but it might be called a deferred pass on the basis you would agree a weight to aim for - i could be wrong, and would be best to check with your recruiter

    Hi kian,great video really helped me get a better understanding of what to expect and do.
    Would my local reserve unit put me in for assessment when they think I’m ready or do you go when a slot is available?
    I would like to join infantry reserves but currently working on my fitness at the moment before I start online applications.

    • @aJOEKian
      @aJOEKian  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would advise to start your application sooner than later as the process can take a while as you have medical forms and the like which take weeks if not months to come back etc. It was more than 6 months for me when I started to when I got an assessment centre date so you do still get plenty of time to improve your fitness! But when it comes to the assessment centre, they gave me a month's window of dates to choose from so it's really flexible and it would only be on your say so that you felt ready and wanted to go - hope that helps, best of luck!

    My question is, after passing assessments, how long before training ?

    • @aJOEKian
      @aJOEKian  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Depends. If going into the regs, the people on my cohort seemed to be given anywhere from 3 weeks to 2 months but certainly no bog standard date given. If going reserves then it's unit dependent and you'd be best asking your ARC Sgt

      @aJOEKian  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      For regs, the other guys on my assessment cohort were told soonest 3 weeks but could be a couple months, depends on job choice, availability on courses and when courses run, but your recruiter should be able to inform you of an estimate. For me in reserve Para, it's 2 months wait based on when the specific course next runs

    love this!! i know what you mean about no recent videos and this is brilliant. i just have one thing about turning up in your smart gear - would they not have a go at you for it as it said to arrive in sports gear, I understand as it doesn't get screwed in the bag but I just feel they'd pick you for it and then that'll stick with you for not following instructions. I'm a junior soldier (harrogate) doing my assessment centre soon - hopefully jan or feb as soon as medical comes back.

      There were no comments about any dress code and I'd say it was 50/50 on my cohort those turning up smart or casual. The only time it really matters what you wear, I would say, is for your interview. Good luck for your assessment!
