I am absolutely loving all your videos Luke. I was an RIR cadet from thirteen years old. Went to St Patrick's Barracks or Ballykinler nearly every wknd. Was supposed to stay on at school, do A levels, go to Sandhurst, and become an RIR officer. Circumstances in North Belfast dictated that I leave home at sixteen and join up. Because of their misdirection I ended up in Royal Corps of Signals as a tech. What a fk up! I pleaded with them after a year to go infantry, as my friend did, and joined the Cheshires. But no go. In the end I left after seven years, as it wasn't what I wanted. What a waste for them and for me, as I was RIR mad. Strangley I now live in Shropshire, and my friend John is a Sgt in your anti tank platoon. Faugh a balaugh!
Cracking effort men , to be fair you see a lot about there not as tough these days but I’d say there every bit a tough if not more so and definitely more professional
Another great vid, such a plus for new joiners to get an idea about battalion life. Wish the internet would have been about when i went in in the early eighties, would have made the mind games a little less of a shock. Your young men are all real positive, their a credit to the infantry, and the british army as a whole.
I was up sunny bridge training area this weekend doing section attacks and TIWAF with the army cadet force and done a tab today what a hard but good training area 😊
I agree with pain barriers statement Sgt. Dont ignore them.. embrace them full on, and bite down hard on that pain and keep going. You'd be surprised the reserves you all have. Tough stuff, well done lads. FAB
FABoulous effort to all involved 4:32 Yep the look of "Yeah Right..what's the catch" 🤨 Been there!! Done that...got the T shirt...doesn't fit anymore though 😆
@@Rangermedia tbh I'm a infantryman from 90s 00s very busy time and I never doubted my boys abilities and I see exactly the same in your lads excellent series BTW

Fkn awesome mate. This is the stuff people want to see on adverts, not that failing BS. Recruited me.
Ten miles down to senny bridge camp carrying the gimpy and the 84 mm Carl Gustaf, bloody hard work.
Only the best that step up and put themselves forward for it 🇬🇧💪
Yeah its a bitch 😅

Top f#♧¤in job, thx so much for the insight ✊️
Much appreciated! Thanks for the support and glad you've enjoyed the series. One more video left to complete this series.

Well said! Tough times creates tough people 💪🇬🇧
Of course they can.
Their respective instructor's are well and able to train them to a high standard on survival.
Cracking efforts all round. F.A.B.

Ahhh the memories.
Turning out some good lads
Thanks and I'm sure they would also appreciate that comment. They are a generation which get a lot of flack but certainly more than capable.

Aghhhh the days 😚👌🍻
Beasts.
Would all units run something similar?
It's hard to say but most infantry units would I think. I know the Rifles definitely do it.
Is everyone wearing belt kits instead of webbing?
Most will have the virtus system (module). Not great but does the job
My favourite part was when they cleared the toilets.
👍👍
Not that you will admit... but does the infantry still have a massive coke problem? When i was in my Plt Sgt was dealing to everyone 😂😂😂😂
F.A.B
Fearless and brave?
Faugh a Ballagh ( Clear the way) Rangers motto.
