That's the trick.....never know what's going to happen or when it will end. Just like real battle. Stoicism. Never over til its over. So many people drop out due to mental fragility.
You don’t know if it works until they’ve done violent tours and come back with a stable mind. You can’t say you’ve cracked it by making them crawl in mud in Yorkshire 👍
You can be mentally resilient without having to go on a tour of combat mate. It's about not giving up not whether you can handle killing someone flippin hell
@@OJ.17 I think his point is the vast majority of "mental resilience" training is complete pseudoscientific nonsense with no real objective basis for it. There's no way to actually quantify if rolling around in the mud actually makes anyone mentally stronger or a better soldier
@@lovablesnowman ‘Rolling around in the mud’? That’s a very simplistic way of phrasing it. The idea is that dragging yourself through something which is hard and something you don’t want to do, and coming out the other side, does make you more mentally resilient. It means that when you face adversity for real, you have a certain tolerance built up within yourself. Think of it like a vaccination. You need to be exposed to the disease so you’re able to cope when things get nasty for real. Milling on P company at first glance may seem unnecessary, but it’s there for a reason. By the way, crawling like that in the mud when you’re physically and mentally exhausted is very much part of the infantryman’s job. In fact it’s the main part in most cases. Closing in on the enemy position after already sprinting through streams and mud, grenade in hand, bayonet fixed, crawling up for the final moment of the attack where you’re about to see the whites of the enemy’s eyes, you can hardly breathe from exhaustion as you pull the pin. That is the moment when this “rolling around in the mud” as you call it, pays off. These sort of battle PT sessions and training methods are what can be the difference between life and death in real life. Preferably the death of the enemy as he sees a grenade hurtling towards his dug in machine gun position, followed by an explosion of fragmentation, immediately followed by the infantryman’s bayonet. There’s a reason why the infantry have higher fitness standards than the rest of the army. Above is one small example.
You took the words out of the mouth. I just typed a similar comment. They are only so concerned about the boys just before they use them and their potential is really high and useful for them, then what about after ?
If skills and drills learned are so important on the battlefield then surely mental resilience will pay off too. This was never covered in my day. Ok nothing will fully mentally prepare troops for actual combat but at least this is giving them a better chance to cope than nothing.
Wonder why this same ‘Mental Resilience’ Training doesn’t get modified and taught to soldiers in the middle of the careers to help them cope with the psychological parts of PTSD & help them transition easier to civilian life while transforming all these military mental robustness into a skill which can keep them motivated when their out of service and back in regular society?
does anyone know the fitness requirements for the marines and the navy so I can get my fitness to high level before choosing which of them I want to join
The navy is a little different than the royal marines, despite them working together. I've applied to join the Fleet Air Arm as an aircraft controller but I did have a look at other roles while choosing what to do, for the role I chose it expects you to do 1.5 miles in under 25 minutes I think it was but there's also a swimming test of 50 metres in 4 minutes. You can find this all on the RN's recruitment website. That's about all I know and this is my first time applying for the armed forces so I'd recommend doing your own research, as I say it's all up there for you to find.
Please allow this stupid question of mine? Why is it called British Army? I mean, you've got the 'Royal' air force, and then you've got the 'Royal' navy, and then there's the 'Royal' marines. Why not 'Royal' army? And don't get me started with the 'space command' that the PM is going to create with his new budget spending for defence. Will it also be called British Space Command, or Royal Space Command? Would have been marvelous though if it was called 'Imperial' had UK remained an empire.... "Imperial Space Command" {insert Star Wars Imperial theme}
It's called the British Army because the professional army that the UK has today was formed during the English Civil War and was developed by the Parliamentarians. Since the Parliamentarians won the civil war and established control, thereby making it permanent, then it is recognized as being something of a "people's" army instead of a Royal army. The Royal Navy was created by King Henry VIII, the Royal Marines was formed during the Neopolianic wars and the Royal Air Force was formed during the First World War. They are Royal as they were created and commissioned by the Monarch. The Army is only exception as it was formed by parliament.
@@crappymeal it’s a lesson on controlled aggression and the final instalment of your bayonet handling lessons. It’s right after a full week of patrolling 15-20km a day out on patrols ex, and usually just after a 5km casualty stretcher run then straight into a beasting up and down a field crawling through mud. Then you’re made to crawl through a stream/river/ditch of water for about 200m on your belt buckle which is the worst part about it. After all this you climb out of the river into a woodblock with battle noise simulators, smoke grenades and shouting all around you to be handed a rifle with a bayonet fixed then run an assault/obstacle course and stabbing any ‘enemies’ you encounter along the way whilst screaming at the top of your voice. When most people finish the lane they break down into tears because of the raw amount of aggression that is needed to get you through that hour. It’s emotions so intense most have never felt before and never will again until they go to war
The army doesn’t “train” mental resilience. It assesses it... and the ability to do that is being constantly undermined by bureaucracy that has no place in the military
civietosoldier nobody teaches you “how to deal with difficult situations” because it’s almost unteachable. They simply put you in difficult situations and naturally the ones who survive go on to complete training. It’s a simple arithmetic
We literally have psychology lecturers come in and deliver mental reslilience training. You can train for it thats why its called resilience training and not preventative training. You can train to be more mentally fit but everybody is different so you can still face issues regardless.
Kenny Black Ah you mean the overpaid counsellors that leech big six figure contracts from the MOD to deliver common sense advice? Meanwhile the attrition rate of recruit train remains exactly the same as it has throughout history, thus proving me right. They can sugar coat it and call it what they want.
