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
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.
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.
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’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 :)
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
@@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.
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.
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
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 💕
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!!!
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 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.
@@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!
This will be something you will cherish in later years. Serving your countries military is a honorable thing - don't let anyone else tell you different.
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.
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
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 🙏🏻
I joined the r.e.m.e. in 92 and it was the best thing I did and I fully support the idea of conscription to combat the crime element of the u.k these kids lack discipline and personal pride. Love watching this mate, you're doing a great thing and the best of luck with your career.
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 🤣
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
Great video, i'm starting my Phase 1 next month and can not wait. I'm nervous but excited at the same time and really want a career in the army. I'm going RE as Comms System Operator and just trying to focus on preparation for Phase 1 atm. Really love Army channel's like this keep up the vids mate.
*God Bless you, Sir, thank you for providing us with this info in a nice, casual manner.* *I feel the need to join, I need to be a part of something bigger than myself, and all these videos like this help tremendously. And, of course, thank you endlessly for your service, Sir.*
I’m 13 years of age and I’ve wanted to be in the army since I was young. My school have recently had a convention to do with jobs and stuff like that, I’m looking forward to making new friends and doing stuff with my life.
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.
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 ?
I served with the british airforce cadets from early 2016 to mid 2018. I’m guessing it’s totally nothing compared to the armed forces. Thankyou for your service 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
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.
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
I'm 14 years old and I plan to join the army when I am old enough to. Thanks for this video, it helped me to know what happens when you join the army. My biggest fears are heights and people I get close to dying, so I need to overcome those fears before I join.
Great videos man got me and 3 friends we all from South Africa about to join the British army in the new year and we don't what to expect. Your videos have helped a lot
As a British and American citizen with both passports, I was born in america and grew up in london, I joined the British army first then moved to America and joined the us marines and the royal army was a really good stepping stone into me figuring out If I wanted to purse the armed forces
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 👌👊
This was so helpful, I’m female and 13, at the moment and in the Army Cadet Force (I get my uniform in 4 weeks. I plan to stay and fight for the country 💪
I'm sure you'll love it. My cousin is 15 and in the army cadets. He's signing up to the army the very day he's old enough to. I'm also signing up next year once my fitness is on track. So glad they've opened up more of their roles to us woman now :)
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.
Great channel definitely subscribing, so many guys like nick bare, kyle gott, etc. doing videos like this about the us military but theres been very few resources like this for the british army, great resource to have thanks for making this! Video about the recruitment process would be brilliant if you could do one aswel, cheers!
Thank you so much for this! I've applied and waiting on my two day assessment date which I'm honestly shitting myself for, but this has really helped! thank you :)
Currently trying to get myself more in shape for the army. Really excited to get to selection but also nervous af if I’m honest. Did about 2.8km in 20 mins jogging yesterday. Was doing cardio intervals to warm myself up. At the time was on a phone call with a fellow friend and soldier. I realised that the call helped me keep track of each minute. He was really pushing me and whilst I feel like I can certainly do better, I’m trying to just ease myself into it rather than jump in the deep end. The more I work out, the better I will get, right?
Thanks for this video even more insight to the army life. After my brother signed up it’s made me want to join but in a different job, I want to be a royal marine commando. Lucking forward to it and can’t wait to be part of such an amazing lifestyle ❤️ so much respect 🙏🏼
ive sent my medical forms to the gp just waiting on them sending them and then my selection date for glencorse the hopefully starting catterick in the next few months!! cant wait to start i know its gonna be hard but it will be good too!
Lee Thomson I was at glencorse for my selection, the staff are all down to earth decent and they've scrapped the ice breaker and made it a 'know your partner' where you talk about someone your sat next to. Be prepared for being sat in the medical room for about 5 hours, there is a tv in there all you have to do is ask. The PFA route is not bad it's really flat. Good luck mate.
Kegger i went on a royal regiment of scotland insight couree stayed at redford barracks for 3 days guys there where good to talk to we done the run 4 laps round the main building and they took us down to catterick the next day seen all the places were we'd do training the accomodation lunch hall gym etc and on the last day they took us to glencorse got to speak to a few guys from two scots (battallion i want to join) was amazing and yeah spoke to the instructors there too and some of the medical staff still speaking to the guys i was with on that trip 3 pass selection hopefully mine is soon cant wait to start catterick! thanks for the comment too
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.
I'm a 14 year old who's desire is to join the royal Welsh regiment as the role of an infantry soldier. I'm not a cadet but I am attending a military preparation school Called mpct. Your videos have been extremely helpful and have made my desire even stronger to join the British army.
Just been for my AB and have to hand the medical form to my doctors. cant wait! thanks for your help on your videos. ill be sure to leave questions i have on your twitter :) Keep it up!
thanks so much! I have been meaning to become apart of the army for a while now, as my family have had a military history so this has helped me understand quite alot
Great video. When I joined the U.S. Navy the didn't give a damn about who we were. The shaped us into U.S. Navy sailors over 8 weeks and who we were was gone. A very different approach than today's training environment.
No Name That’s fair enough mate, i don’t understand why they do. If you look throughout history what ‘Britain’ has done its remarkable. Individually none of us are anything but as one we are the second strongest country in Europe
Respect from 🇮🇪. Our nations had a very bad start but at least the Irish army and the British army are training together and serving overseas together in places like Mali and previously in Kosvo, Bosnia, afghan and other countries
I've been seriously thinking about joining the army for years, but I'm too short, fat as a bus and I wanna do plumbing as a career yet I also wanna join the army.
Try the Royal Engineers mate, they have specialist roles such as plumber, brick layer, carpenter available for soldiers, especially keen for them in the reserves.
I'm a CCF cadet I'm the United Kingdom, I represent the Royal Signal Corps. I have always loved helping people. In the next year or two I'll hopefully be joining the BA, then the Royal Medical Corps

I literally 13 but I have always wanted to join the army this is really helpful to get prepared
Glad for him to serve his country this was actually similar to my training in the US air force I am a Airman so not all of it was the same
Great videos man got me and 3 friends we all from South Africa about to join the British army in the new year and we don't what to expect. Your videos have helped a lot
Are you in the army now?
Great Video! i go down pirbright end of august for my phase 1! absolutely can not wait!
good luck mate
Really helpful mate. Thanks a lot. Hope you're still enjoying it!
As a British and American citizen with both passports, I was born in america and grew up in london, I joined the British army first then moved to America and joined the us marines and the royal army was a really good stepping stone into me figuring out If I wanted to purse the armed forces
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
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 👌👊
This was so helpful, I’m female and 13, at the moment and in the Army Cadet Force (I get my uniform in 4 weeks. I plan to stay and fight for the country 💪
I'm sure you'll love it. My cousin is 15 and in the army cadets. He's signing up to the army the very day he's old enough to. I'm also signing up next year once my fitness is on track. So glad they've opened up more of their roles to us woman now :)
hey I'm in the same situation, good luck!
Did you join?
@@mrbritannia3833wow this is a throwback, im 17 now and unfortunately unable to join after being diagnosed with ptsd and some bad joint genetics.
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.
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
Great video Liam, I have my Army briefing next week watching this video has given me a insight of what to expect.
Great channel definitely subscribing, so many guys like nick bare, kyle gott, etc. doing videos like this about the us military but theres been very few resources like this for the british army, great resource to have thanks for making this! Video about the recruitment process would be brilliant if you could do one aswel, cheers!
Appreciate that mate! I plan on doing a recruitment video soon, make sure you watch out for it
Have the notifications turned on I'll keep an eye out! Plan on going for it in the new year probably will be handy to see! cheers again!
Are you intending making the ''green'' your career?
thats the plan, don't see the point of guys only signing on for the four years and leaving it then
You sound proper sound buddy. Thanks for your service
Thank you so much for this! I've applied and waiting on my two day assessment date which I'm honestly shitting myself for, but this has really helped! thank you :)
Did you end up joining g
@@Glen38 I didn’t, I broke my ankle and had to get a metal plate, then two days later I got a call to go for my assessment
@@BeckyDixon17 oh well hopfully yoir ankle is OK now, what do you work as now
Respect thanks for the video Liam 🏴🇬🇧
Currently trying to get myself more in shape for the army. Really excited to get to selection but also nervous af if I’m honest.
Did about 2.8km in 20 mins jogging yesterday. Was doing cardio intervals to warm myself up. At the time was on a phone call with a fellow friend and soldier. I realised that the call helped me keep track of each minute. He was really pushing me and whilst I feel like I can certainly do better, I’m trying to just ease myself into it rather than jump in the deep end. The more I work out, the better I will get, right?
right
Hows it going?
Thanks for this video even more insight to the army life. After my brother signed up it’s made me want to join but in a different job, I want to be a royal marine commando. Lucking forward to it and can’t wait to be part of such an amazing lifestyle ❤️ so much respect 🙏🏼
Good to see a video that's not 9 years old.
Thanks Liam,, im just finishing my selection (having to go back to finish a few things), these vid's are very helpful!
ive sent my medical forms to the gp just waiting on them sending them and then my selection date for glencorse the hopefully starting catterick in the next few months!! cant wait to start i know its gonna be hard but it will be good too!
Lee Thomson good luck mate, if you need any help just message me
Brown Label Nutrition cheers im just nervous about going to glencorse dont want to fuck anything up
Its weird in the beginning, you'll get used to it. good luck mate
Lee Thomson I was at glencorse for my selection, the staff are all down to earth decent and they've scrapped the ice breaker and made it a 'know your partner' where you talk about someone your sat next to. Be prepared for being sat in the medical room for about 5 hours, there is a tv in there all you have to do is ask. The PFA route is not bad it's really flat. Good luck mate.
Kegger i went on a royal regiment of scotland insight couree stayed at redford barracks for 3 days guys there where good to talk to we done the run 4 laps round the main building and they took us down to catterick the next day seen all the places were we'd do training the accomodation lunch hall gym etc and on the last day they took us to glencorse got to speak to a few guys from two scots (battallion i want to join) was amazing and yeah spoke to the instructors there too and some of the medical staff still speaking to the guys i was with on that trip 3 pass selection hopefully mine is soon cant wait to start catterick! thanks for the comment too
Enjoyed listening to your perspective of basic. You're doing a terrific job!
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.
I'm thinking of joining the army so this is so helpful thanks bro .
Thanks for this 🙏🏻
No problem bro, hope you found it useful.
I'm a 14 year old who's desire is to join the royal Welsh regiment as the role of an infantry soldier. I'm not a cadet but I am attending a military preparation school Called mpct. Your videos have been extremely helpful and have made my desire even stronger to join the British army.
How’s it going lad?
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.
Just been for my AB and have to hand the medical form to my doctors. cant wait! thanks for your help on your videos. ill be sure to leave questions i have on your twitter :) Keep it up!
My dad was in the army during the 90s and just when he finished. Someone stole his beret
Bastards
thanks so much! I have been meaning to become apart of the army for a while now, as my family have had a military history so this has helped me understand quite alot
6:12 that music transition though
Great video. When I joined the U.S. Navy the didn't give a damn about who we were. The shaped us into U.S. Navy sailors over 8 weeks and who we were was gone. A very different approach than today's training environment.
Britain are strong together🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴(couldn’t find Northern Ireland)
True that, I’m honestly moving to England if we ever gain independence (I’m Scottish)
No Name That’s fair enough mate, i don’t understand why they do. If you look throughout history what ‘Britain’ has done its remarkable. Individually none of us are anything but as one we are the second strongest country in Europe
Appreciate the video, start training next week, can't wait
no way, good luck mate! if you got questions don't hesitate to ask.
good video. you should also do a video on what to bring to basic training.
Thats a good idea, will do
Respect from 🇮🇪. Our nations had a very bad start but at least the Irish army and the British army are training together and serving overseas together in places like Mali and previously in Kosvo, Bosnia, afghan and other countries
LOVE FROM🇳🇵 NEPAL.. HERE NEW SUBSCRIBER
Love back from us in Britain some of our finest men come from Nepal.
@@gemmatindall haha..I know mate..they are called Gurkhas
@@roshangurung8045 yeah that's right heard some interesting tales about Gurkhas in combat.
@@gemmatindall haha..cheers mate
.have a nice weekend
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
please do more army videos
More on the way soon!
Love this channel really helpful!
the c drills are my schools ‘core values’
I aspire to join the Brittish army in a position that works with dogs, this vid helped me a lot
I've been seriously thinking about joining the army for years, but I'm too short, fat as a bus and I wanna do plumbing as a career yet I also wanna join the army.
well its your choice mate, good luck anyway
Try the Royal Engineers mate, they have specialist roles such as plumber, brick layer, carpenter available for soldiers, especially keen for them in the reserves.
I'm a CCF cadet I'm the United Kingdom, I represent the Royal Signal Corps. I have always loved helping people. In the next year or two I'll hopefully be joining the BA, then the Royal Medical Corps
