Loved the video! I have my AC on the 29th and I’m also documenting my Army journey on my RUclips, and I’ve loved watching your previous Army videos! xx
Thank you & best of luck for your AC! 💪🏼

Chelsie you would have no problems in the army,they are all there for the same purpose,they love and respect excellence,they look for it, and you have it and very sociable too,if you can pass fitness and shoot straight you are a guaranteed good medic career soldier, major at least with 12 years service ❤️👍🇬🇧
Your account is the best for information on the military as its so hard to find clear information about reserves and regulars! This video was so great and useful 😊 cant wait to see more! Im also doing CMT but in the reserves as im in uni atm so ur videos have been perfect for making things more clear, im getting measured for my kit tomorrow 🌟im so excited to get started soon 💜 thank you for making such amazing content XD good luck on ur ac and for when u get doing ur basic training!
thanks so much, i appreciate that! best of luck for your journey! 💖
Quite interesting seeing the differences from one military to another. I’m in the reserves as well - however US Navy Reserves. Not only being a U.S./U.K. difference but also a Navy/Army difference as well.
Being stationed in Cambridgeshire for a short NATO tour gave a bit of insight to the UK military, but have to say y’all really have a professional outlook as well. For the video, I don’t quite understand your acronyms but still understand the similarities between a U.S. monthly drill weekend (Saturday and Sunday 0700-approximately 1800) vs Tuesday evenings, but could not agree more with your assessment on being committed. I am so interested in these differences yet similarities. I would love to hear more about that one day if you ever get around to it in greater detail.
Cheers from Tampa Florida USA
Oh, I'm glad I found your video. I have some questions about the military. I'm writing a novel about a French soldier. So let's see...A. would an 18-year-old cadet start his army life at boot camp or military school? B. what age must you retire from the military? C. can a military dad live in a house with a son, while still serving in the army of his country? What would that lifestyle be like? These are the only questions I have so far, but I'll probably come up with more.
Great video, your positivity is radiant. Good luck with everything!
thank you!
Thank you so much for these videos they are so helpful & motivational! ✨
Great video. I was in the TA some years ago had a great time
youre the most helpful person! got my selection sunday wish me luck
Good luck - smash it!
perfect
This is sooo helpful I’m typing of joining ans these questions r helpful
I’m joining as a regular infantry soldier after my a levels and I can agree that these questions have made me a lot more comfortable in my path
Thank you! Glad you’re finding the videos helpful!
I love your new intro and banner!
ah thank you. it shockingly took too many hours to change it! 😂
I’ve just had an update, many of the roles atm have very few vacancies, Ive applied for aircraft tech, and there no spaces for males until 2022
Great video again!
Thank you!
Stop it!!! 3 years wait list?!! Are you joking! 😩😩. On a side note, loving your content atm xx
Depends on your qualifications and what trade you want , reserves are very different to the regular army , your best bet is to visit an afco don’t just make a application through capita they are useless , speak to a serving regular soldier in the field you are interested in who’s been in a good few years
i know, the waiting list for the roles in the regular army is shocking at the minute! but thank you, glad you're loving the videos!
Shout out capita for longing out the ting
Can you explain the process of switching from reserve to regular?
Hi well done getting in the army hope it Is going well I recently had my selection back in may I got dafferd but I was still also able to my physical assessments and I passed it would you know if having one kidney without taking any medication or having problems would still get in or would I be rejected thankyou hope the army life is good for you so far
can you make a comparison video for ll.b qmul vs york and which 0ne is better than the other plz also tell about the faculty.
Surely the stamping of feet and saluting is a little old fashioned,why is this still important? Surely an army that is modernizing should abandon redundant old habits? Stomping feet and saluting is s little 19th century, just a thought ❤️🇬🇧👍
It isn't really redundant, especially in training. Drill is designed to foster cohesion and group identity, within recruits (As Chelsie said it's on of those "Oh right I'm actually in the army" moments). Once you are out of training drill becomes less important but still remains something that you need to be able to do, as your unit will have regular anniversaries, parades, and celebrations that will require you to act as a formed body of men, both in and out of the public eye. (Battle anniversaries will often open with a bit of drill, as will CO's addresses and Rememberance Day Parades. Examples of more public facing drill might include exercising the freedom of a town, or a home coming parade after a tour). All these are important for fostering a sense of identity and belonging that, even in a modern army, helps increase the combat effectiveness of the unit. Then you have drill on Tour, yes, on Operations you sometimes have to preform drill, and perceptions do matter when you are working alongside allied forces, you definitely don't want to look like unorganized crap in those situations.
Saluting is just good manners, though how often you salute and how rigid your salutes are tends to be situation and unit dependent.
Fck me hasn't been in a dog watch and is an expert
Chelsie, have you been prepared as a medic with biological weapons and radiation conditions? Something essential as a medic involving mass casualties or weapons grade haemorrhagic diseases,an interesting area of your job as medic ❤️👍🇬🇧
Hey, do you have any contacts with people who are army dentists?
I presume make up isn't allowed in the british army but I'm really struggling to find a yes or no answer. :(
I’m ex regular. In basic training no makeup unless it can’t be seen as they will spot it and expose you in front of everyone, also it will run down your face due to sweat or water 😂 Try clear mascara and a little lip Vaseline if you want something ..not that you will have time to put it on 😬
But once you go to a unit or phase 2 I found there less strict and intense. I used to wear non clumpy mascara and a really discreet concealer under my eyes with discreet lip gloss. If your mad about having your eyebrows always done just get them micro-bladed so there permanent. 🤷🏽♀️
@@hazelscarlett7299 this is so helpful thanks I have had acne for almost 6 years and just wanted to wear a light foundation on bad days
@@emilycoe7732 make up only makes it worse embrace the au-natural
@@emilycoe7732 aww I’m sorry to hear that and I truly hope it clears up for you. You will make good friends who are will support you and may even have the same concerns. Let your skin breathe completely, hold your head high and I wish you all the best ❤️ 🤗
P.S keep a little packet of tea tree baby wipes on you when in TRG and wipe your skin whenever you get the chance. This might help to and will keep it matt 😊

Great that you're so enthusiastic. But there's a considerable difference between the Reserves and the Regular Army. So it's curious that Reservist thinks she can advise others about the Army in general.
So it could take 3 years then to get into the regulars from the reserves?
to be a medic, yes sadly!
@@ChelsieAngeles Oh right that's a shame.
I have a question. Is the British army still pissed off about the U.S. Army for fighting against the British army in a quest of independence committing insurrection, treason and killing thousands of British troops decreasing British army numbers very majorly?
Greeting from morrocco country
Learning so much from your videos Chelsie! Love them x
Thank you so much!!
