    Hey guys! Thank you for the support on this video! I worked really hard on it and plan to make more like this in the future! Quickly want to address. I talk about the eco system and masks becoming an issue in the environment, and quite stupidly show you that I bought disposable razors 🪒 🤦🏼‍♀️😅 I was just trying to spread the message about masks and how they will be found for years to come! I should have mentioned an amazing company that I use called TerraCycle which disposes of hard to recycle materials. The reason I bought disposable razors is because I was running out of money and couldn’t afford one £10 razor but could afford a 10 pack for £1. Not environmentally friendly but I intend to use TerraCycle to ensure they are recycled and disposed of in a safe way! Thank you for understanding and I know what I said sounded very hypocritical but if you know me in my personal life, you know this is something that I care about and you will almost never catch me littering. Thank you again for all the support!

    Some of this you definitely won't need. That ledergloss stuff you definitely won't use. Liquid shoe polish definitely don't use. Stick to kiwi black/dark tan.
    I'm not going to list everything you should take but here are a couple of things that will make life easier:
    Sniper tape. Get a nice big roll. You'll need it and it's better than waiting for that one roll that makes it's way around the whole troop.
    Scissors. Get a few pairs.
    A few black sharpie pens. (label your initial issue kit almost immediately, they will check).
    Bungees.
    An ironing board. It might say don't take one but trust me your lines will have a handful that most people will snatch up straight away. And most are falling apart.
    Get one of those hanging clothes shelf thingies. Honestly they're a life saver and help keep your civvy locker organised. The naffi on camp probably sells them but you'll have little opportunity to get one within the first few weeks so you're better off bringing one beforehand.
    Get some brillo pads for cleaning your mess tins on exercise.
    Get some gucci rifle cleaning kit on the sly. You're not supposed to use anything other than the issued stuff but honestly if you can get away with using one of the amazon ones or a boresnake then it'll definitely make life easier. Or at the very least get some red scotch bright pads

    • @civietosoldier
      @civietosoldier  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I actually do use Leder Gloss for one pair of boots and Kiwi dark tan for the other. Agree that you need sniper tape, I have a roll that I bought on camp. Bungees you do not need as they are issued in your starter kit. I mentioned the hanging clothes shelf in my video! Sharpie pens you definitely need and are in my stationary kit! I’m going to do an updated video soon to critique my own video!

    Funny story about our basic for the RMAS Group I'm not sure if everyone else has to do it too but we had males having to carry female hygiene products too because apparently it's our duty to cater for our team too. Was a great laugh when the lads had to go pick them up from the shops
    The amount of stuff you have to get yourself is atrocious though. Especially me being a little guy with all the kit in my Bergen had it sticking out way past my head haha

      if you are a biff and cant pass a selection centre because you cant run 2km or show confidence then they put you on a mollycoddle month, they are also the ones that are most likely to come down with a "injury" when things get slightly hard during training which isnt as hard as its made out to be (100% still tough in places for sure though). i know this sounds harsh but its the truth.

In the interview they ask you questions about the training you will be doing so make sure you have knowledge on where and how long your phase 1 and 2 will be. I also got asked about basic army policies ie the drug one. I wouldn't worry about the interview just make sure you know information about the regiment you want to join and the training that will be involved, also revise you CDRILS as they ask about them.

      @oliviafruitpot8846 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      put some polish of the cotton ball and circulate that all over your boot. Go from that to a wet cotton ball a few times until you start seeing a shine. Another tip is to take a deep breath and breathe all over your boot (this can take a few breaths) then use a slightly damp (not as wet as before) cotton ball and circulate over the boot. :)

      SDC (Soldier Development Course) is for applicants that don't quite meet the standards in the physical assessments but otherwise appear promising. I believe its a 3 week course to help them get ups to standard and they are reassessed at the end.

      If you fail any part of the assessment but they think you are on the borderline of almost being there they can choose to offer you the soldier development course where they will spend 4 weeks focusing on whatever you need to improve in . Some people will be sent to bring there fitness levels up, others to improve there maths/English skills and some improve there confidence etc. You get given the choice to take this course as opposed to waiting for another assessment date to try again.

    Hello. I have a question as an American I’ve always been curious about? Are you and the rest of the british army still pissed off about America declaring illegal independence from the union of Great Britain? Also is the British army still plotting Ana track in America to regain its original British territory back to the british union? If so I warn you, the U.S. military is very powerful. The U.S. military now has arguably overran the british military as the most powerful military the world has ever seen. A whole now. I’d say since the end of world war 2 we have. During world war 2 Great Britain became very vulnerable and actually asked America for help quite ironically because we fought against Great Britain for independence because of what we call tyrannical British laws.
