Cracking vid as per, I’m really wanting to go in as an Officer. These videos are really motivating, it’s only fitness/a medical that would fail me I think
Great vid as always, one thing I have a question for is once at sandhurst and then at your regiment is it even worth keeping a car? I’m considering just liquidating once I know I’m in as I can’t see it ever being used
Just as a sidenote you can't apply the network discounts if you purchased through a third party, and Vodafone also offer a forces pause on their contract, where if you get deployed, you can pause your contract for up to 6 months in any given 2 year period. You won't have access to the phone services but you won't be charged and it WILL extend the contract, so you'll pay the same overall but at least you're not paying for a service you potentially can't use.
The standard learning credit is good however most infantry boys are at an disadvantages because we don't have time and when you do have time, the coc won't release you.
Hi, I'm just wondering if there is an age limit on being able to use the help to buy scheme? Also do you have to have served for a certain period of time before this becomes available?
Hi Sam Have just seen you video on how to make money from the forces. Most of it has always been there, a few new things but nothing else. T Everything is there has always been there so is nothing new. Most of the guys and girls will be given the same advice during phase one.
I've seen so many videos about the positives about joining the army? Is there any negatives at all? Ino there's being away from family but is that it? Great video btw👍
@@MilitaryFitness i had 3 days of not doing anything cause of my wedding, I went for a 1.5 miles run with weights on my back yesterday and done a 20min workout on your channel today 💪
Great video, I have a question about the last tip you gave us, how do we make sure we have as many opportunities as possible to go on tour or exercise? Thanks!
Hi Sam, do you know if you can use the help to buy loan in conjunction with a Lifetime ISA?Thanks for all the great videos. I start my basic training on the 29th of may and watching your videos has been a god send.
Wow lovely video Sam. Are you sure this is the army. It's too good to be true lol. These are more than enough reasons for me to join the army. Love from South Africa.
Hello there. I have a question please. I’ve just started my phase two at Lyneham and I just wanted to know how long does it normally take to be eligible for a single living house? I’m from the Caribbean btw. Thank you.
Good evening sar my name is kalifa from the Gambia but now living in Italy Roma please let me know how can I meek it to British army I'm trying still to apply it but I don't know to please if you can help me
Hi bud, nothing to do with the video but I like coming to you with questions, I run today my first ever 1.2 mile it was great tbh, it took me 5 week to train there and I run it in 12 mins 30 which isn’t good, what are your best tips to turn that into 10 minutes
Never did this in the 80s .what about the home service wage have they improved from a take home pay for a private was 527.oo per month .it was not good for families back then .my husband and I had two children by the time we paid our gas electricity food we had nothing left .we lived three weeks in every month with no money .
@@MilitaryFitness so it's still best for the single man woman best trying to climb the ranks before having a family. Times were so hard for us back then .it did cause alot of families to split up as it was so depressing the daily struggle to survive .The wives join the army too .they leave there's home towns behind and their families. If the privates wage was increased to a more liveable wages there would be less broken homes in the armed forces . My husband served nine years before he left army .He died 1992 from PDSD. I've had a widows pension all the years am proud of my husbands service ❤
Im in the U.S. Army and we are all over the world policing the world for peace. It sucks A$$. Im thinking about getting out and joining the British army because I’m tired of the entire world relying on me being a superhero protecting the world of bad guys. Too much responsibility. To much on my plate to where if I mess up the entire world will know. The U.S. Army is held to such a high standard it can get overwhelming. I want I join the British army so I can just do my army job and not worry about being like the world police, just basically policing a nation
@@MilitaryFitness I ain’t your mate.. just pointing out some of the cons that you don’t see.. seems that you promote / push the positive agenda here.. having not seen the other side on civvi street where you have a lot more freedoms and chance to develop at your own pace.. and not at the pace the military sets for you

I used to just sign workshop /lad keys out and repair peoples cars for MOT /BFG lol great wee earner ...
Class idea
Had to stop by and show some love take care
Thanks so much buddy, great to hear from you💪🏻💪🏻
Cracking vid as per, I’m really wanting to go in as an Officer. These videos are really motivating, it’s only fitness/a medical that would fail me I think
Are you having any Q&A’s soon?
You just have to give it your best shot, I bet you will do just fine 👍🏻👍🏻
I will probably do one either tmrw or Monday
@@MilitaryFitness cheers Sam, hoping so!
@@jonjuko8859 You need to get yourself a fitness programme ,which the careers office would probably be able to assist with..
I left the army a long time ago.
I would LOVE to have had some of this assistance!
There really isn’t a lot of advice out there.
@@MilitaryFitness watched a few now as youngest is thinking about it.
It’s good advice. Well thought out.
I'm from Fiji. This is informative.
Thanks for watching 🫡
Great vid as always, one thing I have a question for is once at sandhurst and then at your regiment is it even worth keeping a car? I’m considering just liquidating once I know I’m in as I can’t see it ever being used
You probably won’t need a car at sandhurst, but once you are at a working unit, you will definitely want one.
Just as a sidenote you can't apply the network discounts if you purchased through a third party, and Vodafone also offer a forces pause on their contract, where if you get deployed, you can pause your contract for up to 6 months in any given 2 year period. You won't have access to the phone services but you won't be charged and it WILL extend the contract, so you'll pay the same overall but at least you're not paying for a service you potentially can't use.
That’s a great point, cheers Josh👍🏻👍🏻
@@MilitaryFitness thanks for the great vid as always too. Good tips indeed that I'll utilise if/when I get in (positive mental attitude and all!).
@@joshuadennehy932 I wish you all the best buddy, with that attitude you should fly in💪🏻💪🏻
Great video sam
Thanks Gab 👍🏻👍🏻
The standard learning credit is good however most infantry boys are at an disadvantages because we don't have time and when you do have time, the coc won't release you.
Yeah, that can be the case
Thank you so much this helped a lot. Could you do a video about tattoos and if they stop you from getting in ?
That’s a great idea. I will look into it 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video a lot applies to royal navy so I’m taking notes
It pretty much applies to all services, thanks for the comment buddy
Hi, I'm just wondering if there is an age limit on being able to use the help to buy scheme? Also do you have to have served for a certain period of time before this becomes available?
Hi buddy, you have to have served a minimum of 2 years, therefore there is no age limit
Hi Sam Have just seen you video on how to make money from the forces. Most of it has always been there, a few new things but nothing else. T Everything is there has always been there so is nothing new. Most of the guys and girls will be given the same advice during phase one.
Hi buddy, a lot of young soldiers don’t listen to it though and I am living proof that this works over a long period of time.
Awesome, thanks
No problems 👍🏻
Who would you go to to claim disturbance allowance?
You do it online on a system called JPA.
Thanks for the info, do you know if you can use the forces help to buy scheme to buy a property to let and still stay in army accom?
You would have to buy it, live in it for a bit then rent it
I've seen so many videos about the positives about joining the army? Is there any negatives at all? Ino there's being away from family but is that it? Great video btw👍
I do have a video on my channel about the pro’s and con’s of the army
@@MilitaryFitness ill give it a watch after I've done one of your fitness videos 💪
@@davidpae9063 that’s the way mate, get the weekend phys in 💪🏻💪🏻
@@MilitaryFitness i had 3 days of not doing anything cause of my wedding, I went for a 1.5 miles run with weights on my back yesterday and done a 20min workout on your channel today 💪
@@davidpae9063 nice work buddy, congrats on the marriage. I hope you had a great day 🎉🎉
Great video, I have a question about the last tip you gave us, how do we make sure we have as many opportunities as possible to go on tour or exercise? Thanks!
Units are always looking for volunteers to go on tour or help other units out on exercise. It will be a case of volunteering when the chances arise
@@MilitaryFitness thank you!
If I join after my phase two training, how soon can I get to become eligible to purchase house on mortgage as a commonwealth member
2 years of service but the house must be bought in the UK buddy
Will they give you a day off on your birthday? Is that possible? Thanks.
You can use your leave for it if not on essential duties.
Can I run a small freelancer business while in the army?
If you have the time, sure.
Hi Sam, do you know if you can use the help to buy loan in conjunction with a Lifetime ISA?Thanks for all the great videos. I start my basic training on the 29th of may and watching your videos has been a god send.
Yes you can mate. Thanks for the kind words also, it means a great deal.
Legend, thanks

I am really glad you enjoyed it buddy 💪🏻💪🏻
@@MilitaryFitness when is the next Q&A coming up sir, I can't wait
I just put a poll out to gauge some interest mate.
@@MilitaryFitness ok
@@noelfuh8153 do you also want the join as a commenwealth citizen?
Hello there. I have a question please. I’ve just started my phase two at Lyneham and I just wanted to know how long does it normally take to be eligible for a single living house? I’m from the Caribbean btw. Thank you.
Probably phase 2
Are these pointers valid for those of us in the reserves?
A lot of them will be yeah
Good evening sar my name is kalifa from the Gambia but now living in Italy Roma please let me know how can I meek it to British army I'm trying still to apply it but I don't know to please if you can help me
Hi, go on the army website and follow the instructions and you should be able to apply that way
Hi bud, nothing to do with the video but I like coming to you with questions, I run today my first ever 1.2 mile it was great tbh, it took me 5 week to train there and I run it in 12 mins 30 which isn’t good, what are your best tips to turn that into 10 minutes
Get some hiit workouts in and start doing hill rep sprint sessions. You could also include a fat burner run of about 5 miles in there as well
Did you ran with 20 kg weight or without any weight?
Hey bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
How are you buddy💪🏻💪🏻
Is there any for chance commonwealth citizen to join as an officer?
Hi, I will have a look for you tomorrow👍🏻
Hi, yes you can, but it’s not very common

The wage has increased a lot but so have living costs, so it’s probably about the same to be honest.
@@MilitaryFitness so it's still best for the single man woman best trying to climb the ranks before having a family.

@@jamiebowers4465 I really am sorry to hear that, I bet you are proud of him. I think you are right about the wages.
Can you do a degree if you are not in the basics army like yo uhave a trade
Yes you can mate.
Hi, great video. Is it illegal to invest in stocks and cryptocurrencies while serving in the army?
No, not at all.
Im in the U.S. Army and we are all over the world policing the world for peace. It sucks A$$.

Hahahaha this video is a joke… good luck when you are forced to pay mess bills.. regimental subs.. save money when the army takes it away from you
Very kind words once again, thanks mate
