- In this 5 Mistakes Soldiers Make In The Army video, I go through the 5 biggest mistakes that I see young soldiers make. Nothing has changed in my 20 years, it is the same mistakes happening time and time again so I thought I would try and give some guidance to help young soldiers out.
If you have any questions, please just ask and I will get straight back to you.

life advise👍

Wow. This applies not just to young soldiers but all younger people starting out in the adult world. This stuff should be taught at school!
It would be perfect as a life lessons type of lesson.
@@MilitaryFitness it should be available for all!
Don’t know anyone who as does from drinking monster
Cheers for the heads up and advice 👊
No problems buddy👍🏻👍🏻
Your lessons and advice in this video is priceless! Thank you so much 👍
No probs buddy, I am glad you found value in it👍🏻👍🏻
Well said,Sir
Good advice Mounch. Loving your work.
Cheers mate, that means a lot👍🏻👍🏻
Good advice, spot on. That was me who volunteered and got selected to go to Australia. Best raising of my hand EVER!
Hahahaha had to tell that story
That mortgage advice is great, will 100% be using that one once I'm in. Appreciate it bud
No problem, glad the video helped and thanks for the comment👍🏻👍🏻
I love your channel and content, I think your videos should be an actual lesson at the end of ph1 and ph 2 to help new services man start off on the right food.
Your videos also remind me that there are amazing people in all three services.
Thank you
Wow, thankyou so much for the kind words. I hope you have a great weekend 👍🏻
Love ur talks bro🔥🔥🔥
Thanks so much mate. That means a lot 👍🏻👍🏻
Congrats on hitting 1000!
Cheers mate
I've only every worked in office environments and my experience of colleagues who consume lots of energy drinks is that they behave erratically and are irritable. It also suggests that other things are going on. That may or may not be the case but that's the message people pick up on. This video has great advice for any young professional. With respect to cars you learn quickly that a super car is any car that runs. Older cars have their own charm and less things to go wrong. And saving for a deposit. Start that from day one. Even if you are only saving £50 a month it soon adds up. I wish I'd started saving earlier in my career.
Great advice, thanks for the comment.
Monster: That's good advice for anyone not just soldiers!
You’re right there buddy.
This will be a great talk. Glad you're sharing your wealth
Cheers lads, thanks so much for the support.
This should be taught by parents. What a low bar the country has established for its future generations.
Ronald Reagan once made a very famous speech, "just say no, say no to monster energy drinks"
He was a wise man
Amazing advice just for life in general
Thanks buddy👍🏻👍🏻
@@MilitaryFitness whats your advice for people looking to join the reserves
@@christopherbuckenhamphotog368 go for it. It’s also a good introduction into deciding whether you would like to go full time.
When I was younger I used to Volunteer for everything, one Job was taking a signal, one single envelope on a 400 mile round trip. Our troop sergeant used to tell us when he asked for a Volunteer what the Job was, one day it was a real shitty Job and I never Volunteered but because I usually Volunteered the Sergeant picked someone else or he would have lost a guy who normally Volunteered, I did loads of cracking Jobs getting you out of your normal days work. You'll often hear guy's say, "Never Volunteer for anything" but listen to an old timer and Volunteer.
I used to volunteer a lot
Solid advice there. Reference the Car, that was a killer when in B.A.O.R. the volunteer did not work for me though. I volunteered for a specialist role on Standing Orders, The Battery Commander turned me down saying he was sorry but I was the wrong colour! Turned out it was undercover operations in NI!
The NI work is pretty much very selective. Thanks for the kind words 👍🏻
A black fella would stand out like a sore thumb in Northern Ireland. No way would anyone send a black soldier undercover there. Safer at a Klan rally.
A lot of advice I’ve seen online is “never volunteer for anything” and the reason they give is if you volunteer a lot you’ll get broken off the group and your supposed to not stick out
That’s rubbish mate. A bit of volunteering is fine.
Good honest advice, so true re monster drinks. Eat well 🙏🙏 good guy guy advice.
Thanks so much buddy, much appreciated👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah, I was like that with cigs! Monster was not about then!
I served a tour of peacekeeping in Sinai. Drinking monster was something i found US army soldiers are fond of.
On one night shift i drank two cand of monster in a go which led me to headache. I'm from Fiji though serving as a soldier from Fiji.
😂😂 those things are a nightmare
cheers
No probs mate, hope you enjoyed the video👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for advice, I'll joining rhe reserves hopefully
Best of luck
I will now stop drinking monster. Nearly ready to book my assessment centre date
Book it and get it cracked. Let me know how you get on or if you need any advice👍🏻👍🏻
I wanna join the army this year but I'm not sure how or where to go to get in
You can go to the careers office if you are in the uk or try the British army website if you are commonwealth or over seas
Cheers
No probs buddy
Hi Sam would anyone from commonwealth be asked to do the sickle cell test at assessment centre or it will be decided by the doctors?
The doctors would decide on that mate
👍👏👏
Oi CSM I won’t be hearing any slander on the Renault clios those things are beasts
Hahaha they are. I had one when I joined up
I loved my room, and my pit.
Thank you for this I was thinking of getting a car hahaha and I used to drink monster till I realised it didnt really wake me
Hi Sam any tips for the mid thigh pull and training for it
So it’s an all over body strength test, therefor time under tension workouts (like the one I have just posted) are great. Incorporate lunge jumps and pull ups and that would be perfect
@@MilitaryFitness thanks for that I’ll definitely give it a go and another question with the bleep test I went out and did it on Tuesday and got 7.1 and I’ve gone out and done it this morning and got 6.2 would you say this is a bad score
@@gabjones476 you probably did them too close together. Just try it with at least 3-4 days in between. Getting level 7 is great mind
(i've watched this video a bit late)
but 2:10
what about coffee then?
because i usually drink a latte rather than one of those sugar invested energy drinks
Yeah, coffee is fine mate
@@MilitaryFitness alrighty thanks, have a great day!
@@westay4924 thanks, you too buddy
Are there any benefits on doing more than 22 years?
Pension and job security I suppose
joining the army at age 31, while i have enough time in the army to by a house? will i be able to deploy overseas ask im older?, i think you should make a video for persons wanted to join the army at a older age
I have one on my channel buddy
@@MilitaryFitness which is it? secondly can someon be in the army and start a property business
@@corneljoseph7495 they sure can mate, it’s what I did.

I don't think Monster was around during my time in. We all drank Lucozade though.
😂😂
Stay away from monster ok mint
Honestly id say car loans AND mortgages are both big no’s. Unless you have a wifey at home that you’re tryna house ofc. Buy income wielding assets while you’re young. Having £2000 passive income from reits or dividend stocks and living/ travelling in foreign countries all while you’re young is absolutely achievable. Owning a home won’t bring any more happiness than retiring on the doll.
It’s not about happiness, it’s about getting ready for retirement straight away
Hi there, really appreciate the video as I’m planning to re apply later this year. Do you know if you can apply for the paras after already joining a different infantry regiment?
Yea you can mate
@@MilitaryFitness thanks mate didn’t know that 👍
Red Bull gives you wings. Monster gives you 666 (trouble).
😂😂😂
He really hates monster 😂😂
😂😂😂 I do.
What about red bull???
I would leave that stuff alone as well mate
I drink 3 monsters a day lol and am fit and healthy but I wanna stop cuse I do t want my teeth messed up, so over a year I've spend around 1k a year on monster
3 a day, that is mental 😂😂
Can a Germany 🇩🇪 citizen join the British Army ?
I am not sure about that one mate. You may have to send a message on the army website
Can you change jobs in the army.
You sure can buddy
🇬🇧💙
Thanks, hope it helps
How much do a British army pay in a month sir
You will start off on around £1100 a month
@@MilitaryFitness thank you sir I'm from India...when will be Commonwealth recruiting
@@delsnjhhvbbby_lp I would apply as normal and await a reply.
My dad got me my dream car for doing my gcses . I've went on to drink water . And burn off everything I eat
That’s superb
never volunteer
You should also advise the youngsters to stay clear of women.
I am not doing that
sat here with my 1974 Camaro that I paid £1500 for and it's worth £25k+ wondering how a car can't be an investment.
So your advice is to buy a car from 74 wait 50 years then sell it?
@@MilitaryFitness No, that's ridiculous, if I could buy this in 1974, i'd be better off using my time machine for other things. My point was, you can buy "nice" cars,if you buy the right ones, you will never lose money and cars can be the best possible investment going. My R32 GTR and my Supra Twin turbo (both bought below £8000 as a 17 year old private) would be good proof of this as well, Both are worth a fortune now. I bought my Camaro about 4/5 years ago, needing a little work, put the time and 2-3k parts/paint in and you make a fantastic profit when you choose to sell up (minus capital gains tax, obviously).
@@davidfinch7810 did you have a house at the time or somewhere to keep them
@@MilitaryFitness I rented a workshop unit with a group of my civvi mates. We all used it for fixing up our cars, I stored my cars there. I also came home every weekend, brought back a car, i'd split it down for parts over the weekend and take my van back to the barracks with parts i'd sold to be posted off. Picking up Japanese sports cars for £700-£3000 and making £3-5k profit in parts. I made more money back then than I do now working twice as hard!
@@davidfinch7810 that’s amazing. How come you aren’t doing it still?
My take away from this is.. don’t drink monster ???? Yeah great reason to get out the military when Somebone like this guy tells you what to drink
Thanks for watching the video buddy, made me a couple of quid👍🏻👍🏻
@@MilitaryFitness NP… it’s the least I can do.. thank you for your 20+ years of service
😂
Can I get a motorbike or scooter instead of getting a car whilst in the army?
You sure can
@@MilitaryFitness Thank you 🙏🏽
