The name of the show is Bad Lads Army and it is a reality show. They are testing if modern kids could handle 1950s style National Service Basic Training. The first season, Lad's Army was focused on volenteers but in later seasons it was criminals - adding the "Bad Lads" into the mix. Series 1 (Lads Army) and Series 2 (Bad Lads Army) are the best ones. Officer Class lost its focus and Bad Lads Army Extreme sadly played up the dramatics. Do give the series a watch if you can find it; it is well worth your time - especially Series 1 & 2.
Jonathan Lundkvist personally S3 officer class is my favourite because I think they had a great balance of everything including the training and good characters with a lot of good and memorable moments. I have no interest in S4 though, can’t remember anyone from it
With a name like Nauyokas, I reckon he must be Greek. The Greeks smash plates and anything else made out of china. So wasteful. Shockingly stupid. Why have Greeks in the British Army when they're like that? Time to send them back to Athens or thereabouts.
This man does so much for charity. He also has a terrible childhood. But here is...in front of the camera, and behind, trying to do the best for the troubled and misfits. Great respect. The amount of shit he gets...if only they knew!
I know I only pick the qoute-able moments but if one watches the entire show, they do find he has a heart of gold and that the entire 1950s act is just acting.
My dear departed Dad used to have a good chuckle at this program, he did his national service in the Army in '50 and said he'd love to have drill instructors like these as they were 'soft and cuddly' and not even close to - and I quote.....' Psychotic Vicious Rotwilers' he had.
Corporal Nauyokas is one of those guys who shows the utmost respect to those when they have earned it and will always provide a shoulder to lean on should one require it. However, he is NOT someone to get on the wrong side of and will show no hesitation of standing his ground and showing zero tolerance for any nonsense should such a situation arise. He has been added to my list of idols.
Fast forward a series with Cpl Murray: "What would you do with this mug if you were me?" "Smash it." "Go on then." *SMASH* "Personally, I would've just cleaned it."
'Nookey' lives in my village. I've seen him around a few times, he's a genuinely nice guy to speak to, always has 5 minutes for a chat. I loved Bad Lads Army, so many toe rags, so little time.
The point about mugs is a 50s thing they brought back for the show. If broken, the recruit has to pay for a new one. As such, the NCOs take every chance to try and reduce the amount of Beer available for the recruits by docking their pay by breaking their mugs.
i know nuk very well, let me tell you something guys,he never does guest appearences for free,he is a businessman ,but when i asked him as a mate in the pub{the plough, where he lives near me} if he could do the village fate appearence,he didnt hesitate,even though he was at the battle of britain memorial the same day,he rode on his motorbike so he could attend the surfleet show as well,,,,and did it free of any charge,this is the man he is,a top bloke,a great mate,and a fantastic laugh.
As an American I find it very amusing that the recruits openly make eye contact and interact with the instructor in such a non-robotic way. Cpl Nauyokas is a classy man.
I find it rather weird that in US they won't make eye contact. I think it's kinda important in order to focus on what the instructor/superior is saying. In our country there is a compulsiory military service and there our instructors often ordered us to make and eye contact on him even if we were standing on a formation. Often if recruits just stood there looking at the horizon while the instructor walked back and fort explaining things, many of the recruits easily started to drift their toughts or focus to something else.
Also forcing a subordinate to not look at you when they speak to you, just feels unnecessarily demeaning. Or if not, it just gives a feeling that the superior is threatened by your eye contact. Eye contact is just a basic element of human communication.
You can tell he really cared about those boys, even the Brown twins. He went out his way to try and help Luke but then realised there was no point, he was too far gone and would only be pissing into the wind.
4:09 "...watch a professional..." LOL! Though far less fun for those who had made their beds! But hey, some bright spark decided that tipping the beds was the way to go...
Everyday life in the US Army... also they like to have us dig our own grave! My battle buddy left his weapon while we were digging fighting positions...subsequently the drill sgt killed me amd then my battle had to bury me... was a fucking blast, let me tell u!
Nauyokas (nookie) became a family friend after helping out my brother in a bar fight in Wilton, Wiltshire. Nauyokas was based at UKLF then. Top guy and good Laugh to have a pint or two with
@Mjölnir Captain Sparkle finger's God made neither. Besides, being an adult and still believing in Bible fairytales is a hell of a lot more embarrassing than being a poofter IMO.
I know this may sound strange, but I had a corporal even worse than this guy when I was in the Canadian army (Basic training). AND he was a massive, French Canadian ice hockey player / street fighter from the depths of some Montreal shit hole neighborhood..and was about the most frightening person I ever met. However, I would never have been a successful as I am today if that guy didn't straighten my life out. So..I really am glad for a man like this taking the time to train us.
My dad and Cpl Nauyokas were friends in the Army. I woke up one morning to them coming in after a night on the piss carrying a cast metal bike rack that they'd nicked from the Sergeants mess. Top bloke
Why? Some young people could indeed do with a dose of this, but there are many others, who have no interest in joining the military and who already possess self-respect and self-discipline, who would gain no benefit from this whatsoever, and (in some cases) for whom this could even be actively detrimental. You can't make generalisations like that. Edit: If you meant those who have been kicked out of school (expelled) for their behaviour, then yes, couldn't agree more.
You say it like the word was acceptable back when the show aired. Since you are seeing this out of context, you do not catch the fact that they hammer in the fact that they are replicating 1950s style behavior in the NCOs.

I remember my basic training days, if I ever get round to joining a drill sergeant unit I’ll have to remember to make privates talk to their equipment.
Loved this when it was originally aired. It was a time of some great shows. Problem now is that there are so many channels, Netflix, TH-cam etc and too much stuff to watch. And where am I watching this? Oh yeah, TH-cam!
''I, take great offence, at waking up, a room full of men, and somebody, has the audacity to stand by the end of the bed, with an erection!!''.. is about the funniest shit I have heard in a while.
1958, our squad were lined up for inspection. This particular corporal was a known twat, Corporal Lambert was his name. He inspected my back pack and found the tiniest smear of Brasso on the back of a buckle. He ordered me to take off the pack and held it up as if it was infected with the Black Death, and began to scream in my face. "Do you call this clean, soldier?" "Yes, Corporal," I replied. "Well I don't, laddie," he said and then he threw my pack as far as he could and ordered my to pick it up. I said, "No, Corporal." So, he screamed in my face and said, "I won't tell you again, laddie, pick it up." Again I refused. He then ordered another soldier to go and retrieve it. This was the beginning of the end of my military career two years later. It was a sign of his lack of intelligence, because all he had to do was say, "Right, the whole squad stays here until Barrow picks up his pack." If he had said that, I would have obliged. He couldn't really put me on a charge for disobeying an order, because this would have made him look like the prick he was in front of the Colonel.
The thing is although this was just a reality show and it wasn't scripted a lot of these guys did go on and sign up for the forces and unfortunately i think a few of them did get killed in Iraq😞

Show is great, lm from Australia and loved it😂
isn't the military tougher now?

When Corporal Nauyokas is around, you can guarantee your mug isn't safe from being smashed...
wt8012 That’s why we’re issued with Stainless steel mug. It’s Corporal- proof
yeh well if you dump a load of nut into it, it probaly wont be

In season 1 they were safe, cups never smashed on him originally took till season 2 for him to master it 😂

Thanks for turning the volume up. I was just about to.
According to legend, you can summon Cpl Nauyokas by creating a ring of mugs and saying "Corporal Nauyokas" three times.
My favourite moment from season 1 was when he failed to smash the mug and screamed like a maniac.
I love how one lf the clips just starts with "Capriano , you tosser!" Fucking killed me laughing. God bless the honorable Corporal Nauyokas.
