Check out my newest Army tips video guys, make sure you share and like it so others can see! Appreciate the support
YES MATE!!! U SUPPORT MANCHESTER UNITED!!! :D :D
Correct me if i'm wrong, but in phase 1 training don't you go into a chamber and have to take off your gas mask, state you name, rank, regiment you want to join whilst there is custom tear gas in the chamber? thanks
Legendary gamer yes you do it's awful, you do it at about 6-8 weeks before pass out
One of the only things i'm nervous for when i do it ahha
Brown Label Nutrition thank you for being smart and putting a Manchester United poster up.
Well done fella! The British Army...the most resilient force in the world. It's their guts, determination and skill that the rest of the world holds in such high esteem.
El Guapo thanks mate, means a lot!
Pmsl laughing a total laughing stock of the world this country is wake up seriously
The russians don't think so
Only just found out you joined the forces man, proud of you mate. Glad to see someone from the hometown has made something of themselves, keep it up.
What's wrong with your town?
Apple Bee do you live in Britain?
Smh.
Russell Heaton not really he’s gonna die
He quit the army so how’s he gonna die 🤔
Thanks for serving our country you have my respect and the respect of others.
I spent nearly 3 years in forced conscription in South Africa a long while back and as much as it was tough; I believe it changed me for the better.
I love your work and your attitude.
❤
Thanks for the support of the country 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
nice to see a brit soldier doing YT
thanks man, appreciate it
Brown Label Nutrition what rank are you
you are a total 100% credit young man.I joined the '''green''' in 1981. Did the full 22 , & then some [L.E.O.] ( Aldershot) in those days, For the most part.... Best thing I ever did with my life.
Daniel Gurung He's a private
O yeah yeah
I have had the dream to join the British Army since I was 6, I'm 13 now and am joining the army cadets when covid is all over, I respect soldiers so much.
I’m almost 15 how do I join the army cadets
@@scottishboi6035 search it up, go onto the British army webpage and type in your address. It will show you the nearest one, press join as a cadet and put in your details. COVID has slowed down them getting through all the enrolment malarkey but I’m sure you will get a reply soon. Good luck!
I remember my phase 1 in 2013 hearing you go through everything just brought back all the cool memories, nice one bro
I’m joining the army in 2 years ive downloaded the 100% army for app, it’s great help for whoever reads this
Have you joined?
Ashley H-J wow this just popped up in my emails. I’ve got my Royal Marines pre joining fitness test in a few weeks just waiting for the date from the RM. so not the army I took a different route mate but seeing this comment made me laugh haha
@@bobdoyle4058 Thats amazing! I'm hoping to join as an army reserve when I reach 17 and 9 months. Hope all goes well for you! I always love being reminded of old comments its a strange phenomena 🤣
@@bobdoyle4058 Also can I just ask why you decided to go for the Royal Marines instead? And and the fitness requirements much different?
Ashley H-J tbh mate I applied on the marines the day I got my results and it’s taken a year to get to this point but I applied for RM just because I thought I’d I’m gonna go into the armed forces I might as well do it at the highest level and be pushed to my very limit. Hopefully it all goes well for me and if u wanna join the army just yolo it mate
Looks like I should have joined the British army lol. When I joined the US army (Mar 2001) and went to basic training our barracks didn't look anything like that lol. They were just big 3 story brick buildings filled with bunk beds. Of course in the US army our basic training is 9 weeks and broken down into three phases (red, white and blue). Red phase is of course the worst because everyone is screaming at you and you are basically running around like a chicken with its head cut off lol. But during basic you aren't allowed to go home or have any days/time off. Once you finish basic you will go and start your MOS training (AIT). My AIT actually was just as bad my basic training in the fact that we were still treated like new recruits and weren't allowed to do anything. I was a MP (military police) and my AIT was another 9 weeks. We did get one weekend pass towards the end of AIT.
The best advice and simplest advice I can give someone joining the army (or any military branch) and about to start basic training is to be in great shape and to have thick skin. Just keep your mouth shut and do what you are told as fast as possible. The worst thing that you can do is stick out to the Drill Instructors. I ended up spending 10 years in the army and doing 2 tours in Iraq and one in Afganistan. Another tip is that you can make your time in the army as good or bad as you want. If you have the right attitude/think skin, then you will enjoy your time in the army. If you have a piss poor attitude and have a big mouth, then your time in the army isn't going to really miserable.
Justin Robbins to be honest mate, my barracks is outdated. Haven't really seen any us barracks so can't really compare
Very well said
The difficult part for me.. is biting my tongue.
I’m being told by everyone that when I leave the army I won’t have a job when I’m 16 I want to go to AFC Harrogate you said you did 10 years, can the army be for life ?
G2 C It can be if you go for LE entry commission. What role do you want to go for?
Been an army cadet for just over a year now, went on the same trip described in belgium, some of the best times of my life
far more where that came from!

Dear Liam, God Bless - FANTASTIC VIDEO
I'm a University Graduate of Muslim Faith. You have helped me understand the skills needed. Your video is needed to prepare my fitness as all I've been doing is studying to be a Doctor but your video has set forth clearly the levels of fitness and stamina needed to Pass and get in to the British Army.
Mate, great video! I served in the engineers for 6 years, left for 4 and am looking to rejoin at 30 years old. Even with my past experience it was good to get a refresh! Mint vid 👌👊
Ayyyy I see that de gea poster in the background up the reds!!🔴🔴
Very good video and great insight to what it would be like joining as a soldier. I have been wanting to join for nearly 5 years now and you sir have almost made my mind up.
I’m 15 I’m thinking of joining the army next year my fitness isn’t as good as I know it can be but I really do want to get it up really glad to see this video it’s really helpful for someone like me I’m currently in army cadets and really enjoying it. Just wanted to say thank you
Did you join ?
@@Glen38 hello no turned out I couldn’t due to medical now work in customer services of all things how my life would be different if I had gone
@@JEN-fo5bq oh I have to stay medical are a huge thing now
@@JEN-fo5bq hopefully you enjoy your job.
Legend lad👍 didn’t know what to expect till I watched this. Can’t wait to get away now.
Hoping to join asap just gotta sort my life out!
Great video though pal
Joining the British army myself, going in for infantry I start phase one training in a few weeks found these videos really helpful
How’s it been boss
My dad was in the army during the 90s and just when he finished. Someone stole his beret
Bastards
I’m in Jamaica and I would like to joining the British military
Bro I love the army I’m British and 9 (determine)being in the army because this guy in my school tryed to mess whith me so I decided to train and train soooooo here I am now (whith 2 others I am going to the gym every day after school in secondary imma sub to u
Bloom_rigem Vlogs bro good on you, stay determined
im having trouble shaping/moulding my beret. i would love to see a video on how to do it properly (s/wales army cadets)
stay tuned
i tried shaping mine and let me tell you. i didnt have a great time. so good luck. and Rip to ur beret.
We are devoid of morale in 2018. 8y of cuts to Pay, Pensions, Promotion, and Prospects. Undemanding and Recruitment has lead to being over worked and completely under appreciated.
We are at melt down and have been for many years with conditions getting worse day by day. Ref AFCAS2018 being the worst in 10y. The sickening state of the Junior Ranks are apparent more than ever now. The Top Brass Don't give a Sh*t.
Thank you 👊🏾 I’m about to go through my phase one training. This helped me out thank you and a lot of respect
hey mate how is it going? I'm looking at joining the Army
If I could sign up for the army again I would. I signed up for RMP regulars back in 2014 but had to withdraw my application because I ended up in hospital with suspected crohns disease.
I work for the civilian police now but it's just not the same as what RMP would have been.
I’m also Civi police for the Met mate and I’ve spoke to some ex army colleagues and apparently RMP is a MASSIVE step down for us. I’m still thinking of joining as an infantryman but moving to close protection I just haven’t decided yet. Still figuring out if Civi police is for me.
My dad was a Lieutenant-Colonel. When I was ready for leaving school, he said to me: "I don't care what you choose as a career, as long as you don't join the Army"
good video. you should also do a video on what to bring to basic training.
Thats a good idea, will do
I have noticed all the people in the army end up joining the security industry when they end up leaving I’ve got to People in my glass room In the army
ur a legend and the rest of our armed forces !
You don’t get kicked out if you fail a drill test
If you are between 12 and 18 and u want to go into the army join the act you’re confidence will increase rapidly I joined a few months ago and my confinace has increased so much sorry if this was irrelevant
Nah mate that’s good to know cheers
Thanks for your advice I've only just subbed and I already love you and you're videos
Hello, my name is Ebenezer
Please, I want to have a discussion with you about joining the army.
I hope to hear from you again
Why am I even watching this I'm American..
I’ve just realised halfway through this is Liam Brown, my stealth camper go to
thanks for that mate it was very helpful as I am thinking of joining myself
do it
this is so helpful! thank you
thanks for the video I will going to AFC Harrogate when im 16 so I hope this help so I can get ready for it can not wait
I went to Belgium for a school trip back in year 8. And little bit after that I knew I wanted to join the army but, it wasn't exactly the trip it was also getting close to Remembrance Day with all the parades and things on tv and in real life etc. I'm hoping for junior entry.
Cheers for your service man
I remember the ravine, two planks, a barrel and an old ammo crate 'The Colonels Sandwich box' - well all got over with it. The mong section o the other hand...used the barrel to catapult the sandwich box over...that was a good crack and they all fell in the ravine as the Sgt said 'Fu*k me! evidence of natural selection at work'. Haha!
fuck me if I'd known all this I wouldn't have joined lol
FlipFlopCamper not as bad as u think im on my 8th week
I just applied for the AFC
JD BARNES Aye, same here.
Nice, let me know how it goes, got my interview on the 3rd Nov.
I don't mind Anything accept giving a speach about myself
Brilliant video once again, just wish it had been available 20 years ago 🤔😆 especially the mention of CNB training. Also, not sure if you mentioned a swimming test?
Thanks for the video!!
no problem mate, anything else you need to know?
From when you applied how long was it till
Your first day?
Id love the hands on stuff id pass it easy id be very confident , but I'm just worry id fail on the literacy and numeracy test because I'm dyslexic i don't want to fail and look stupid..
It's weird how the british army basic training is 14 weeks where as the irish is 17-18 then a further 10 weeks to earn the rank of private, considering Ireland has such a smaller army
This is a really helpful video
amazing this guy is like the ultimate guide...
Army changes daily weekly monthly yearly. Be the best you not the best veterans perspective.
If i joined the british army i think i would struggle with map reading stuff
Elis John Griffith they will keep teaching you it untill you understand it. remember it's "basic " training.
wow how different to what it was when i joined in 1980 first day we got our uniforms and kit except weapons, we had webbing even the back packs weren't like they are today our uniforms were thick and heavy first 3 weeks we did nothing but square bashing and map reading then the assault course twice a week with weapon training which included weapon stripping and cleaning and reassembling upto week twelve weeks 13 was a recap on everything we have done week 14 was preparing for our passing out parade which was entirely polishing up our marching etc on the main parade ground in blistering hot weather oh by the way our rifle was an SLR which was long and heavy, the day before we passed out we was given new eating equipment and a black mug which replaced the green mug we had in training we was also given our what we called tin hats and our shoulder lapel badges which showed what branch of the army you was in for me in was 4 RA badges my military training was at Woolwich royal artillery barracks (as was )its not that anymore although its still an army barracks plus the town of Woolwich was known as a garrison because of the barracks don't know if it still holds that title and the queen Elizabeth military hospital serves both military personnel and civilians on my passing out parade i was issued a crossed rifles badge for my rifle shooting, and we used 3 weapons during our training which was as already stated the SLR GPMG and the SSMG
brilliant mate
Great video mate, I’m just wondering how are you tested on your swimming? Because I want to join but ain’t a very strong swimmer.
Lol that Cpl you showed at 1:01 is now a Sgt and she was at my Phase 2 at Worthy Down haha
Nice information
Cool to see the desert rat badge on the side, my dad was in the desert rats
Next four you lad be the all arms course get them wings! Cheers
Planning to join British army.. from India..
does anyone know if half Nepalese can be try to be recruited to Gurkha's
Im not too sure bro
Daniel Gurung noo have to be full Nepalese mate I work along side Gurkhas in the rifles
Officers don't have to be
Do you live in nepal? You can only join the Gurkhas via local recruitment in Nepal. Unless you join via the Officer route, as their officers are British.
I would say yes, best thing to do is contact the careers office
At 14:40 the picture of the pass out that's me with the white hackle at harrogate haha long time ago
So I start my 3 day course Nexted week is there a vid so I know what I'm getting to thanks
can you do a video on the BARB and Apptitude tests, the questions and how to prepare for them thanks
Really buzzing to join in about a year, what would be your best tip?
Make sure you turn up to phase 1 in the best shape of your life, run as much as possible. you'll learn military knowledge in training. good luck anyway mate
In my day... the single ''doss'' (Rooms) boxes were for the section Cpl only.
Don't think about the whole length of training, take it day by day, just think to yourself that it's almost scoff soon and basically knocked off after that 👍🏻
Just saw your reply! Cheers Liam, means a lot! Also thank you for the people giving me the advice 👍🏻much appreciated!
Don’t die?
medical discharged for depression so I was
get a life then take it]
Nah bro dont let that stop you. Jesus died for you man
The amount of weeks you do basic training ,depends on which regiment you join ,mine was a lot longer than 14 weeks , that's for sure , so you should check ,how long you have to do before you join up ,
I'm joining the army when i turn 18 i am currently in the army cadets and hoping to get into the army very soon
Join the RAF. Better Food, accommodation, less BS, treated better. Kid you can think for yourself and want a trade make the decision.
hey liam. let me teach you about who runs the british military...its the royal navy....after enuf time in the desert with the good ole BA you'll realise its about that beach. have fun in helmland, IM OFF TO CORNWALL.
I've just applied again today but i am not sure if I will be able to get in again because of what happened last year
James Willcock what happened last year?
Didn't you hear?

5 rifles is the place to be 👍🏼
Gareth Bale real men join 4 Scots...
Once deployed to opps all that cap badge C...Rap goes out of the window. ( i. Two of my best oppoes were /are ex RAF REGT)
How does someone apply to join the British army from commonwealth country like kenya?
You no longer need British residence to join the army if you are from the commonwealth.
@@jonnijon8370 could you be knowing the way to join or apply?
Well please can I join the British Army as a commonwealth citizen if am in UK for a visit visa or how can I apply to join the army and at what age is required for a commonwealth citizen if am not in the UK thanks
Hello mate I'm 29 years old, looking for something new in my life. Is it worth my time and the army's me looking into joining? Would love to join the Royal Engineers but not sure if I'm too old now? Any feedback would be great, Thanks Mate.
I’m joining the Irish regiment
How tremendously shockingly the Army everywhere has changed in just some few generations. Not that long ago anyone could join, and Army personnel was regarded as shit of the earth, easily expendable to be thrown into forgotten massgraves. But today recruits must be physically and mentally perfect with unmatched eyesight and hearing, and they are even tested in mathematics (!). How incredibly times has changed.
RLC. The power to the punch.
I'm in the British army but I chose to be the queen's gaurds
Oh he’s a fucking Irish guard
"you get your beret... its basically a HAT...."
good channel though, good to hear an unbiast view from the inside.
Thanks mate, appreciate it!
Or a '''LID''' as some regts call it.
it's a beret!
research why it's called a beret before calling it an hat
YALNEVA TEKOFREEDOM exactly! Hats wear those ones.
Because he is a HAT
Desert Rats represent. Subbed just for the red rat ;-) great channel mate keep it up.
Matsimus Gaming hello you mong
Calumceltic88 hello lol
I swear, every vid I click on you're here :)
Matsimus Gaming fancy seeing you around here
Thanks bro!
Currently applying to the reserves,
The minute speech may or may not be a thing there, but if it is it's going to be nerve racking.
The people on here saying it's put them off.. it's one speech.
The British army is one of the best ways to develop as a person, if a speech puts you off, push yourself through it.
You're stronger than you think!
I joined cadets to boost my confidence and it worked as shouting words of command on the field wearing the same uniform so to anyone want to boost there confidence in the army join cadets its fun and life time experiences
How many Kilometres I need to run during the training I'm curious bro ??
@@3arbiii897 I'm going into my fourth week of basic training you need to aim for 2k in 10:30 and you'll do fine
Well said
@@NUFC975 Ah nice! I'll take it you're using your phone? What are the rules surrounding phones during Phase 1?
I'm training to join, and I haven't even applied yet, to be clear.
my Grandad was a desert rat, big respect to you mate
Nice, thanks bro!
What’s a desert rat?
My Grandad also. Served in North Africa (obviously) then moved up Italy in '43.
My Grandad was a Desert Rat too!
Craydoug like special forces or something but smaller, but still one of the best out there
I’m 15 and from Scotland, and I’ve been thinking about joining the army to serve as either infantry or corps driver, and this video was really helpful and inspired me lots :) all the men in my dad’s family served as infantry in the army, so it would also be really nice to keep that in the family :)
i’m joining the infantry as well
Do it. You’ll probably regret it later in life if you don’t. I regret not joining the Navy.
@@beans2927.Hello bro
You would be in the army by now so how did it go?
Sadly my health (Crohn's Disease and Asthma) meant that I was never able to join the forces. Absolute respect to you, and all the best in your career! Your videos are a fascinating insight into life in the British Army.
I got asthma

Respect from your highland brothers 🏴🇬🇧

Something I’m considering. Always had a big interest in services (including policing and army). I ended up going down the animal industry root but fancy a carer change. Thinking of dog handler or vet nursing.
JUST DO IT.
dont let ur dreams be dreams
I’m the same, working in a vets right now. But always had an interest in the army. I’m 20, so deciding if it’s a good idea to switch up my career now
Dog handler has a notorious waiting list and I believe you already need to be a qualified vet nurse to apply for that role, best of luck if you continue that path though
Did you join
at the moment I'm 12 and when I turn 13 I'm joining air cadets,I'm starting the gym soon, I'm doing press ups and sit ups every night, I'm going to try walk home instead of get the bus and go for a walk or bikeride every day , I'm going to make sure I eat healthy and I'm going to work hard at school and get good GCSE'S and then I'm joining the army, no one thinks I can do it just because I'm a girl and I'm quite small and I'm a nerd but I love the army so I'm going to do it.....well I hope I can help me!!!
oh and ignore my profile pic I do not want to be a flight aggendant anymore I'm just not allowed to change it lol!
u wanna join the army join the army cadets not the air cadets. air cadets is for the raf youngsters.
pocahontas and my dreams hope you do really well, I also hope to join the army when I'm older
Kaleb Plant oh that's cool!
I've been an air cadet for nearly 8 months and have been flying once
This is really interesting- and extremely helpful. I really like the sound of joining the British military, despite the fact it looks hard ;; well done for serving your country though 💕
Unfortunately I broke my arm 6 days after I applied. Will have to re-try next year.
good luck mate, if you need any advice just ask me!
Brown Label Nutrition Cheers mate.
Brown Label Nutrition hi mate I wona join but I'm partly blind I don't have a right aye I'm I still able to aply plz reply
Florence Schrevel well do a Nelson and join the Navy :)
I wanna join too but i got a bit of eczema inside my elbows, only time it ever pissed me off is when i saw it might prevent me from joining.
44 push ups... Could do 50 when I was 18, I'm now 31 and struggled to do 25. Thinking about joining, I'm tad overweight but I can lose it, I Lost 16kg few years ago going gym and dieting but put most back on.
go for it mate
They take anyone these days mate and youll get fit in training
Thank you for this. I'm 14 and i'm planning to join the army as a technician when i finish college. :)
What do you think the likelihood is that British troops could be deployed abroad in the near future?
Vey possible, Not sure where though mate
Ian Brown 😂
Ian Brown so true Britain and us is so up their ass
I have selection next month and hopefully start in August thank you for this I'm worried about being a girl in the army but getting to know more about the army is helping a lot 🙏🏻
Glad I can help
u in the army now??
Bro I’ve been thinking about joining for so long and be so sceptical of it. I live on my own right now and with the cost of living rising it only encourages me more to go and chase this path man. I see next to no Cons except being away from family and friends. Thanks for the video man I know you made this 6 years ago but it’s helped me
Did you join
Army brief on Monday morning. Couldn't be more excited, daily work outs, 44 press ups, 50 sit ups, tricep dips, and 2x 1.5 mile run (currently 8 minutes 18 seconds) best time. great video thanks.
I'll be down in Catterick next month for phase 1 and 2 with the Rifles Regiment. Great to find such a helpful channel just in time!
thanks mate appreciate the support
