Real
Just passed phase one and on week 13 now at Catterick great video good to see what other regiments get up to.
Congrats, Phase 2 is brilliant - you'll love it
Best army channel..great to see some of my fijian brothers. 🇫🇯 . Thanks for showing such awesome videos 👍🏾
Thanks mate, appreciate that👌
Looking to join the royal reg of fusiliers next year once i finish college, so these videos are gonna be a really good watch! Thanks for giving us an insight!
Armoured Infantry - nice 👌 no problem, glad you enjoyed it
@AdamLegend its 16
The best part is probably the bonding
Looking forward to that PT, loved all that running back when I was in school.
Catterick,where legends are made!!
💪
My brother is there now in the camp 🇫🇯 really proud ❤
That's great - keep supporting him, it really helps the recruits 👌
Thats what i like to see, outside running as a platoon. we did a single run session in 14 weeks... Catterick certianlly looks more organised then the training area i was at.
Got to love a platoon run! Where did you train?
@@djrxp ATR-W May Last year, sadly Picked up and injury on week 13 and was Md'd. Hopefully I can join back up soon. these runs are alot like whatn the yanks do.
5KM run 3 days a week split up into three groups of varying pace, so the fitter people of the platoon keep fitness and don't get dragged down doing super slow 10min/mile pace runs.
Thanks for the video, Keep it up. looking foward to week 3.
Basic rule: assume gun is ALWAYS loaded. Therefore, newer point at someone/something you don't want to destroy.
They dont care. Fourth Turning is coming. They all will be gone by 2030
forrest drake what?
@@wolfgang4356 basically something bad happens every generations life time

Assume a weapon is loaded, until you confirm it isn’t.
Good to see my fijians brothers 🇫🇯😍
💪
so under rated wtf just came across you and binged on everything
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the videos. Appreciate the comment. 👌
djrxp hey no worries mate, could you maybe add some more unedited ish clips in the the videos. Like running drills etc
@@bdbd2638 Noted. Thanks for the feedback 🤙
Same here 🤣
thanks mate your channel is a lot of help, I'm going to join the British Army when I finish college in about a year, so this gives me a lot of insight on what I need to do.
Did you end up joining?
Honestly this insight is invaluable. Hoping to be there soon 🤞
Thanks mate! Glad it helps
This is seriously helping me see what my basic training is as I’m joining Harrogate College In October it’s good to see what I’m going to be doin
I'm glad it helps! Good luck for training💪
Brilliant video very helpful 🤘🏼🤙🏼
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Are you joining?
Thanks for the videos pal they are really helpful. I'm Going basic training on the 21st Feb so looking forward to it !
Nearly gave up on joining until your channel randomly popped up. Hopefully start basic by November. Great content. Keep it up
Thanks Brandon. Stay motivated, it is worth it 👌
Good look!!!!
Really tempted on joining the army after watching these i cant lie
I got my basic training start date 20th September but down at atc pirbright. Will defiantly be keeping up with these before I go
Good man, it'll give you a good idea of what to expect. Good luck!
I’ll see you there mate
Ive got the same start date!!
@@mcvitie2952 Best of luck guys 💪
Can’t wait to start Catterick on the 23rd of August 🤙🏻
Awesome - what regiment do you want to join?
Same as me ")
djrxp, would it be okay to ask some questions about the training?
djrxp went for the Mercian regiment pal
Oliver Attwood what regiment are you joining pal?
Really hope i end up passing my medical checks, couldn't be happier/prouder to join. Research suggests i could be bounced for going to the docs to talk about anxiety like 4 years ago :'D. Either way, never going to loose respect for you lads.
Fingers crossed for you. Thanks for the comment, best of luck
Everybody suffers from a bit of anxiety mate I wouldn’t worry about that
Keep your mouth shut about it when youre at the assessment centre mate and youll be fine
Looks like a positive atmosphere
Joining as a vehicle mechanic in 4 weeks time at pirbright, honestly cant wait, i get this is infantry but still cant wait to get there and get started
Looking forward to the future, grind time
When are you joining?
@@djrxp I've applied and just sent my consent form back for my medical history, soo hopefully asap.
@@michael.waddell Shouldn't be too long then. Best of luck 💪
@@djrxp cheers mate really appreciate that!
I can’t wait to start Catterick, I did phase 1 at AFC Harrogate for 49 weeks then was discharged after pass out. I’m able to rejoin in 11 months time. Still going on runs and doing my best in endurance exercises. Joining Mercian regiment.
Why what did u get discharged for?
@@absolute_boyo6666 kidney problem, leaking blood and protein. The said I wouldn’t be able to operate in high temperature environments. Yeh I forgot to put medical discharge the first time around. And I’m still not back in yet… I have to wait until next august because my last official day of service was the 27th of December and I was told I can’t re apply 18 month from that date
Have you rejoined yet? If so how you getting on?
@@Csolracl have re joined and midway through phase 1 again. Got Cat3 next week and then tac ex 1 in 3 weeks
@@absolute_boyo6666 IGA Nethropathy a kidney infection
Got my second attempt at PRAC August 17th. Pass or fail im joining either way, id be just as proud to serve in any other infantry regiment! Quality content mate, this is gonna help a lot of lads see whats in store for them
What was it like at PRAC, im looking to join paras aswell.
@@joshuamccrorie3073 you won't understand how hard it is until you actually go there. Its not the tests that are hard, its the constant hill sprints and beastings before them that knacker you out before you do the events. Train hard and you'll smash it mate
Glad you enjoyed it - best of luck on the assessments 👌
Only 8 days left until I go Catterick I'm nervous but seeing this has helped thanks.
Hoping to pass for the Welsh guards.
how’s you get on?
Can't wait to get to Catterick, just got to finish at Harrogate first! Good job on the video fella.
Cheers, good luck with it. Keep working hard
When I done my basic for the infantry in 86 it was hell on earth intake 64 passed out 27 only the best got through we had a NAAFI that was it can't grumble these days.
I'm planning on moving from South Africa to Britain to join when I get a bit older
Fantastic - stay motivated and focused. You'll do fine 👌
Thanks appreciate the motivation
Loving the vids. Also I think I was your 5th subscriber.
I remember seeing it! Thanks for watching mate, much appreciated! Glad you are enjoying them
Love this video as my bro is in your platoon👌🏼👌🏼
That's awesome. Glad you enjoyed it 🤙
@@djrxp no worries Boss I'm a veteran now😉
This is really helpful can’t wait to get started
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed
I’ll be here on the 23rd August! Wicked insight mate.
Sir*
Owen Brown Im technically still a civvy, so mate works just fine. 👍🏻
corey thirkell see you there pal 🙌🏻
Good luck 💪
great video can’t wait to start
Days are counting down!
Never had bladder packs in my day . Surely you can do a small run without going of dehydration 😂
Did yous ever play football in the army?
Can't wait to join
Good stuff - have you done the assessments?
@@djrxp no not yet man but i wanna apply let me talk to you on instagram
Always wondered what life’s like in the army once you passed basic training
Wait out for the future!
Can I play football in the army ?? How’s the football structure in the army like
@@OpareAddow Yep, loads of time to play sport
When u join your Regiment then the fun begins lol
Can u do a full in depth tour about the accommodation and the type of rooms u get when u start showers etc
Yep will do!
Just watched a video on the training and it’s changed a lot since my time in training. We had the SLR which in my experience was the better Rifle. I did the initial SA 80 tests in Folkstone ( Shorncliff) and the day didn’t go well at all. My first question is ”WTF I’d with the Ironing Boards.?? 🤣🤣🤣 Are they no longer part of standard issued equipment in the accommodation?? Or have you got to buy your own floor bumper as well.???
watched this video just to have a glimpse of what the infantry in the army is like. I'm joining the Royal Marines and will be in training in october. Good to know all the differences. Good video
Good luck with joining the Royal Marines - training will be similar so these videos should still help. Glad you enjoyed it 👌
@@djrxp thanks man, gonna be the toughest thing ill ever do. Looking forward for the next week of the infantry training.
Training will not be like in this video. Trust me
@@dominomnom3964 I've seen other videos, about the infantry and they are all the same or atleast extremely similar. Pretty sure this is how it will be. Are you in the infantry?
@@tgfrenchman3258 Yes, RM. I've found videos like this are informative but don't quite show how difficult it is. That being said, it may look similar to RM training you won't realize until you are there. Not knocking this vid or the Army. It's just different
Can’t wait once I pass my assessment n get into basic training
I wanna join the army in the future and idk if I'm wrong but it looks less stressful than I thought it would be cuz I thought it would be some guys running and shouting in your face while your soul leaves your body from training.
Great video, I'm currently In the process of joining just send off my medical consent form, hopefully will be at basic training soon
Fantastic stuff - best of luck 👌
I'm just going through this and comparing it to my time in US Army Infantry OSUT and I've just got to say... wtf you guys get to go bowling in week 2. I don't even like bowling but still... just when I thought I couldn't be any more disappointed in the American Army and this happens.
litteraly on the train down to catterick for training right now
Awesome! Good luck in training!
I’m hoping to join the army reserve soon as I just turned 18 yesterday, I want to be a driver communications specialist, driver or a supply deliver
Good luck mate!
Thanks for the infoman hoping to join reme next year after GCSE results
Can’t wait to join!
Since you’re an infantry officer would you ever do a video/new series about Sandhurst or the joining process for officers? I believe they also do a stint in the itc after Sandhurst
Good idea. Quite a few requests for this. I'll try and put something together soon!
I miss them days so much
I’m 15 and I want to join but I’m scared to make such a big decision and just not like it
I can’t wait to join the army 🇬🇧
Good man! When?
djrxp I’m only 15 atm I was thinking about joining when I’m 20
Can you do a video on assessment centre please?
I am not at the assessment centre. Fabziy has done one I believe - check out his channel!
This is SO different to my basic training at deepcut in 1987 they nearly killed us
Smashing videos it's lit🔥
Thanks man!
I have my assessment in 2 weeks and ohh boy is running shit not like rubbish but like I can do better I hope everything goes well 4 me am really ext to join the 2 rifles.
Stay positive and try your best - you'll be fine. Good luck 👌
Great vid mate👍👍
Thanks 👍
😍its soo good to see Fijians over there! Thank you for your videos
Is it just me or is that officer fit As fuck
bloody hell pool and bowling how do they find the time ,running in trainers brilliant
Hi, this content is amazing!!! I went up to Pirbright to do my assessment centre and was referred as being to light. I’ve struggled to put on weight and stuck at 60KG!! Tried loads of things but any tips on getting that extra 5KG so I can get back and pass and get to ITC soon as possible. Thanks!!!
Mass gainer shakes are the one for short term weight gain, lit just eat as much as possible
Is 65KG an absolute minimum or does it depend on your height?
Johann Schmidt probably height to weight
Johann Schmidt 65kg is the lowest
Eat more and train hard! Hit the weights to bulk up a bit. You'll be stronger and fitter as a result. Good luck!

Wicked, thanks 🙏
Top class content
Thank you mate, appreciate it.
I’m going to sign up as an officer soon , Cool channel btw just found it
Fantastic mate. It is absolutely worth the graft. You'll love it. What do you want to join?
djrxp hopefully the infantry
@@DJRAJEE It's absolutely worth it 👌
djrxp sweet bro
Off on Sunday to have me some of this 🤙🏻🏴
Same here what regiment you hoping to join?
@@wimpylegend2590 rifles mate, not gonna lie, absolutely cacking it ahaha
@@jakevarley4548 Same here mate lmao but just remember everyone is in the same boat
but good luck
How’d it go?
This is good for someone who is thinking of going into the infantry but what if these videos got into the wrong hands could potentially be used as an upper hand
Just speaking out of curiosity, but have you ever had a recruit in basic training that was over 30?
Cheers!
I think you can join up until you’re 32 if I’m not mistaken, personally I’m waiting another year or 2 so I’m 19-20
Hi James - yes I have had a number of recruits in basic training over 30 years old. Their previous experience added value and they were very motivated 👌
Thanks. At the ripe old age of 33 I was beginning to believe I was past it! I'm looking into volunteering for the reserves.
james fowke If you’re good at the leadership side of things, why don’t you got for reserve officer?
I appreciate your suggestion, but obtaining a commission doesn't really interest me - even if I did possess the skills required in the first place. My view to joining is that I would like a change of pace in my spare time, and obtain a different perspective from civilian life. 7 Rifles appears to be something I'd like to become involved with, and as I understand it, they recruit from the London and South East areas.
InFuNtreE! I miss it soooooo much
I'm 38 could I join back up
Could you let us know the distances and things please just to help us grasp what is generally expected from us after passing the tests at the start. Thanks
Check out the most recent video on the channel!
Really enjoyed watching this, have you got any tips for me joining Harrogate in March? Thanks in advance
Thanks for the comment. Keep preparing well - work on your fitness and do some research in the Army. All of this will help when you arrive. But don't worry - the course will get you to the standard you need to be at 👌
djrxp alright thank you
The 14th?
@@people8887 7th pal
@@littled0422 yea well gl I go 14th
Couple of things if I may why the annoying music lets hear the recruits getting encouraged:) secondly don’t mess about only one unit worth joining that’s one of the parachute regiment battalions preferably 2 my old unit but any ways best of luck what ever you choose but remember stay focused positive have a good strong mental attitude
Appreciate the comment, our music taste seems to differ!😂
Hey it's so good but how many regiments in British Gurkha
The Royal Gurkha Regiment has 2 battalions
djrxp It gained a third under Army 2020 :)
Waiting on accessment centre date.. cant wait 😁
Good luck!
@Luke yeet Is it yeah? I've been a little paranoid but that's probs bc I dont like failing haha I've been training my ass off so I'm a lot more confident now but if it really isnt as hard as some people make out then that takes a lot of weight off my shoulders!
@@djrxp Thanks, much appreciated:)
BA 34 ive got mine on the 27th, good luck mate. What reg u wanting to join?
@@DanP221 cheers mate good luck to you too! An the rifles mate how bout you ?
Nice.
Assessment centre tomorrow 🤞
Hope it went well!
Good job 👍 UK 🇬🇧
Please I am from a commonwealth country. I completed the army corgnitive test, and I submitted my police report as well, so please how long will it take to get my assessment invite? Thank you

Thanks for the comment 👌
Sir i have one question regarding dental check up.
I went to Dentist because the position of my front teeth were improper but now it is fixed and it looks normally proper with no problem but one thing is that during the check i got need to took away my four Pre molar teeth but no gaps have been left behind will it be any problem.
I can't help on that I'm afraid. You'll have to speak to a dentist/doctor/candidate support manager
@@djrxp thanks a lot sir
Can you give me the criteria od dental qualification in British Army ?
I wonder what role that women picked , glad to start seeing them trying it
Harry Harry well since they’ve already been doing it in Afghanistan as medics, logisticians, helicopter pilots and environmental health technicians, I’m sure they’ll be alright
@@lachlanchester8142 Absolutely. They will be trained Infantry soldiers with no difference to their male peers.
Harry Harry you said in combat so I mentioned combat medic, my dad was environmental health in the raf and still got shot at, MERT helicopter pilots had to go to the front line and get shot at, I assumed logistics because of the road warriors series on TH-cam, the Sandhurst documentary on TH-cam also mentioned that 90% of British soldiers in afghan have had to use their weapon system, so plenty of women have been in combat. On your point of my mum or sister etc, my dad went a couple of times I don’t see how it would’ve been different if my mum did 22 years and went twice, my dad could’ve also been taken hostage and beheaded so the gender is irrelevant if they’re both fit enough to be in the military. I also don’t work for the government, just thought I’d mention that women have already experienced the stresses and challenges of combat so I’m sure they’ll do alright in the infantry
Harry Harry even if we can’t agree on whether women should go to war, we’re desperate for anyone in the army these days which is probably why there’s plenty of women joining the infantry. I’m sure there’s plenty of generals that unofficially agree that they shouldn’t be allowed but with such a reduced army we’ll take anyone
Harry Harry you should become an mp that would’ve been a good speech
Do they get to play pool in their free time in basic?? We don't get to do that in the U.S. :(
Interesting to see some female infantry recruits in the mix. How many are starting on average and how many are finishing?
what about left handers?
I am left handed so will that effect me when I join the army with the gun and stuff
UK Driller The weapons system is right handed, however you should be fine 👍
No you'll be fine. Loads of left handed people in the Army that have no problems with weapon handling
what i am not a massive fan of is the sa80 assault rifle. it looks uncomfortable to reload with the mag at the back of the handle. like what's with the design like that?
Its called a Bullpup design and its design allows for a normal length barrel but a shorter overall length - important when in vehicles
i get trying to get the recruits familiarized with their weapons but flagging the instructor is not the way to do it. treat all weapons as if they are loaded.
how do i sign up for it?
Is ATC Harrowgate similar to this hoping to go September next year
Just out of curiosity, was there any girls training at catterick with you?
Yes there are!
How far are the runs during PT, my CV is dreadful but on my last 2km run I got 9:52. I am pushing myself for an even better time, but would that be a decent level to start training already?
Hi Ryan, the distances vary. But your 2km run time does pass the test required. Keep chipping away at it but yes that would be fine to start training. I recommend mixing your runs up. Do some longer, easier runs to get used to the miles. And then some shorter, harder ones
@@djrxp I know that they've changed the running test to bleep test now, in your opinion would you say its easier or harder. Plus would running mock bleep tests help? I am going to follow your advice and start doing some longer but slower runs.
@@Ryan-ui9wl I think both tests are very achievable. Don't be too concerned about which may or may not be harder. The fitter you are, the easier both of those tests will be. Absolutely do some mock bleep tests to prepare. I recommend doing them until failure (not just stopping at the pass mark) as you will get an idea of how fit you actually are. I like mixing up my training so I don't get too bored!
Looking to joing the royal logistics
Great video! Have the camelbaks always been there or is that a new implementation?
It’s part of the virtus kit set
@@mitchellc4626 Yep, correct. It is not the first time we have used them but these are the virtus ones. They have been in use for a couple of years
djrxp shit piece of kit especially the daysacks
@@mitchellc4626 The camelbaks? I don't agree, they are fine and molle on to the back of the body armour as well
djrxp no the issued day sacks are terrible, especially with the hard spine backs
Already got Virtus Jesus
Issued from the start
Is that the L85A3 they are now using?
Not in this video. But it is being rolled out across the Army.
in the first clip of running and push ups, how far is that run and how many push ups is that roughly
The run was 4km. I am unsure on the push ups, but this was not a test, just training.
@@djrxp thank you, im joining basic training on 25th of October and following this will help alot!
Hey guys, show videos of gurkhas training also, i want to see my son. My son is there in catterick having training, he is also recruit intake of 2020.
What base is this
ITC Catterick
