I trained a soldier who kicked of like this and he was given every fatigue punishment available. The idea was not to break him but get him to accept his strenghts. No matter how rebel he got we never gave up on him. He eventually went on to be an NCO Instructor and would deliberatley seek the most problematic recruits to be assigned to his Section. I was often present for the face-on-face talk he would give to a rebel who believed his battle with the world was unique. He would say "Do you think I'm going to give up on you because you've given up on yourself". One of the lines we used with him. Young men often become so easily lost and forgotten.
My old man was in the welsh guards, made the mistake of complaining about the food, "what would you like to eat" the sargent asked, "bit of cheese would be nice" , two months he had nothing but cheese lol
As an ex-serviceman this boy would not last a week in the Forces for real. He may think he is a man, a tough nut but he is a cowardly person. He is aware the cameras are on him but if they were not, he would receive a severe beating for his actions from his fellow recruits.
polikwaptiwa If this lads attitude was positive, his fellow recruits would forgive him a little for his failures ie, lack of fitness. We work as a team and things can be worked on to improve the fellow, but I or my mates won't be held back by someone who is holding the whole unit back by being belligerent. I'm no tough guy but there are guys who love the Forces and would queue up for a pop at this chap.
This is the only reality show I actually liked. I met Corporal Murray in Glasgow a few years ago, years after the show had finishedand he is some bloke, honestly. He was kind enough to answer a couple of questions I had about the show and in that 5 minutes he inspired me to make a few changes to my life for the better. He’s a good, good man.
All the sargents on this show must have a bloody great laugh getting together and having a few pints watching these episodes, it's tremendous entertainment.
If someone needs this kind of discipline, they’ve already been badly let down by their parents and teachers. I’d rather we fixed the root cause than the symptoms.
While here in the states some of our fresh training recruits get stress cards. Something I only hope the instructors laugh at. I went thru usaf basic training and they flat out told us their intent was to break us mentally and rebuild us. So for me it was easy to just allow the discipline go because I grew up with it. It was the physical that was tough for me because I did zero sports in school
My uncle was a bandsman in the Blues and Royals. Once he complained about the food, so the officer took him to meet the cook. The Officer explained what my uncle said about the food, the cook then beat my uncle around the head with a ladle. My uncle never complained about the food again. Lol
I'm actually in agreement with you, allaround008. I'm not in disagreement over someone being disciplined for acting up. It's the fact that it was a freaking officer who caused him to be disciplined. It's supposed to be NCO's that take care of infractions like these, and secondly, it would be beyond insulting to receive such treatment just because of just another over-payed, entirely underworked, entirely too entitled and privileged commissioned puke. Id accept it from an NCO. Not an officer. Especially an officer.
@@kingdaleclarke the only thing you could do with someone who wouldn't obey and pain compliance wasn't working either is try pointing a gun to their head. Obviously that wasn't acceptable, even in the 50s except in time of war and even then, most likely the only place a Sergeant could get away with that is on an active battlefield in the middle of a war zone
you wouldn't want him on your side anyway, first bit of trouble and hes looking out for himself. back home hes probably fitting windows and selling a bit of puff to his mates
He's most likely on benefits, weighs 10st wet and permanently lives in a knock off Nike tracksuit. The worthless spineless weasel. His ancestors should be ashamed!
Andrew: Sgt Edwards was a Master of "tough love" and saw the best in everybody giving them another chance, Sgt Weston however was less forgiving and a real "Hard Nut" !
This was an excellent television series, it shows how modern youth have had an easy ride, but the finale when it was revealed who wanted to have a place in society as a soldier was fantastic, to stick this through to the bitter end, kudos to the lads in the show!
@David Morris I think you misunderstood what I was saying here, the easy ride I was referring to was "choices", back when National Service actually happened in the mid 1950's expectations of young people were totally different to what they are now, I've come from a background of everybody works, I've held down 2 jobs but luckily the latter job enabled me to travel and see lots of the UK and Europe, I pretty much found where ever you go people's aspirations are the same, the lads in the programme all came from different backgrounds, the choices they had made for their lives would have been different to the aspirations of the common man back in the 50's but the metal shown by them during the series proved we are all capable of doing better for ourselves
I'd like to have seen Sgt. Weston handle Brown (with pure, 1950's style gloves off approach). Brown would have folded like a lawn chair-especially with the high probability a senior NCO at this time was a combat hardened WW2 veteran.
For all of you who are sat at home giving this guy grief, it’s harder than it looks. The military has a wonderful ability to turn men like this into mentally tough soldiers. Maybe this guy didn’t make it but plenty like him have walked in the gates at Pirbright, Raleigh and Lympstone and left a changed person. 🇬🇧
SM Yea, I saw that last week and couldn't believe it. Why does our own Government seem hate us so much? After all, it's them who make all the decisions and us who obey them so I'm confused
of course mental toughness is something that’s required but if you seen most of your platoon wiped out by mortars for example then if you bottle things up thats what leads to PTSD
I did basic training in the canadian infintry in 1963.We we only shortly removed from the Brit system of training. NOBODY would get away with what that recruit did,and how disrespectful he was.
I served in the US Army. Nobody would have gotten away with this nonsense. The rest of the guys might have given him a "blanket party," which involved tossing a blanket over his head while he was asleep and beating the tar out of him, ending by throwing him outside. Brown is giving the entire unit problems. I'd sure hate to have to serve with him in a combat situation.
He wanted to leave but an Instant dishonorable discharge wont do him any favours. They need to find out whats he rebelling against or where the attitude is coming from. What a classic classy Sargent, its awsome to see him still trying to help the young man. Well done Sargent, well done
Whatever Luke Brown has done with his life, no matter how much he may have achieved, he will, as a result of this TV show, be forever looked upon as a whining, entitled, mummy's boy. Quick to anger, slow to think, what a pathetic young man. I sincerely hope he's grown up and has become something worthwhile.
As much as this young man reacts and gives it all the talk, he's genuinely in a real inner struggle and needs help to overcome it. It's easy to judge and attack his aggressive manner, but there's a human heart underneath it all which is suffering.
If this scenes happen in a regular army, that recruit would be death right now...I cannot imagine also if behaves like that in a SAS or foreign legion, I think he would wish not to be born...
I can’t help but wonder how things would have gone down had Tim Weston been the provo sergeant during this series with the brown brothers. From the final edit, it seemed liked they were continually banged up without being beasted. Weston would have had a lot more fun dealing with them first, but then again maybe his punishments would have forced to them to quit as soon as possible before they could be booted out.
Geff is a mate of mine, he had a pub un ashton under lyne, someone broke in one night, Jeff went for him and the other chap went for him with a machete with resulted in his hand being split in half. If he had both hands working he would have leathered him😊
I remember during one exercise in basic training all the lads queuing for food. A mess tin in each hand. One for main course, the other for dessert. We ended up getting both served in one mess tin. Beef stew with rhubarb and custard. You had to eat it or face the consequences.
i find it rather annoying that the lads go back 50 years but the officers cant beat them like 50 years ago. :( #bringbacknationalserviceandlegaliseNSbeatings
@James Michaels Almost admirable, if I agreed. I would sign up in a heart beat if they would let me. But I don't understand why you don't want to spend two years. You can go and do what you wish before or after you join, as long as you are between 18 and 24.
@James Michaels National Service isn't just the infantry. You can join the RLC and basically count supplies in a warehouse, or join the telecommunications and just make phone calls. After two years, you can do what you wish. You can even gain more job opportunities from the skills you learned!
@James Michaels Perhaps. But like you, I too would sign up incase of attack. You certainly aren't a coward who protests NS. If people don't want to kill or they are pacifists (like my great grandfather), they can join non-combat roles like the RLC and drive vehicles behind the lines.

In the real life old army, he would have been battered untill he complied.

Omg. Yeah that was terrible 😂
Gordon Ramsay is having a fit watching this
I have never seen such a pathetic attempt at peeling potatoes in my life. Period.
Sgt.Edwards,Sgt.Rae & Sgt.Sullivan are really strict & perfectly disciplined father figures.
Wow. Sergeant had incredible amount of patience. I expected him to break that stick on his skull.
He knows he could snap the lad in half with one hand but knows he doesn't need to
Sgt Edwards is tough but I'd like to have seen Brown against Sgt Weston

Sgt Weston would've had him for breakfast. Probably still would!!!
