Spot on, brings back memories of Trial, Canter, 1st Fling and Final fling then the killer 26 miler at the end... (as it was in 1985) I always miss the blokes and the crack, it kept us going even when it got a bit naff.
My son was a rifleman, was injured in training accident and had leave, he's fully recovered, that was 15 years ago, he's still in touch with all his mates, and even his CO keeps in touch, there is a sense of family in the British army, I see it in other militaries, but not as much, and I think that contributes to the effectiveness of our military. Another great video by the way.
Even to the American Revolution from which Rifles and Light Infantry Regiments evolved and not forgetting the experiences in India with the adoption of Gurkha Rifles.
The light infantry wore both green & red coats, what would it be like if they had absorbed the wartime special service paras & commandos, the evolution of a profession
I was in 5th RGJs when there was three regular battalions and two two TA battalions, There is 5 Regiments on D-DAY was in The Rifles, the first company on D-DAY was by The Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry at Pegasus and Horsa bridges. Swift and Bold

@Raj Maj you aren't wrong. I was originally going to go Royal marine commandos. And when I say if I don't get in para I'd go rifles. It won't be out of not wanting to continue. I'd be if I wasn't fit enough and they say para is not for you yet. And I am training alot. But atm I'm on a rest week due to body problems 😅 shortness of breath and light headed. This is happening due to not eating and not sleeping so I'm focusing on fixing that. (still do workouts just not as much) But when it comes to paras. I'm putting in 110% effort. Mentally and physically. It's what I want and it's what I'll get 😂😅.
@Raj Maj oh look its this silly fucker again for someone who doesn't rate or like the Rifles you do watch alot of the vidoes. Funny you say that I was on herrick 11 when the RM took over 3 Rifles and there was alot of you're blokes didn't want to listen to our blokes about IEDs and stuff like that. Funny as once we left you losted loads of men though injury, Wonder if you had listened like professional soilder then some of you're men could be alive or not injured!!!!!
Am ex RGJ and not as swift as I once were but am just as Bold.... back in my time there was always rivaly between us and the paras whao was the best, but am glad that the tradition isnt going to fall beside the wayside
@Wile E Coyote Bren was far before my time, Gimpy is the section MG now in the Light role config, far better than the older FN LMG we used to carry in the section, though its heavier its reliable, and packs the range and punch 5.56 didnt
All these requests for videos shows how bad the army is at making videos on regiments your that good at making videos you should get a job at the royal marines media company
@Raj Maj all infantry soldiers receive the same training. The only variation on this is the parachute regiment who have an pre para selection course.on than this it is the same syllabus.

@@Michael-kg8ef the rifles is a easy way out.. Easy choice.. Basic training and basic tactical assaults... People join the marines and paras to be as they are recognised as the elite infantry regiment.. The level of fitness is 3 times of the rifles... My pal was paras.. He was telling me he was working with the rifles... And he a said.. Hard work!.. The paras and especially the marines are another breed of characters!
Funny you that, when I went on my battle courses in brecon the paras are not the fittest at all,. Yeah you are Fit for P Coy after that you are like any other solider. Normal fitness, the paras as not special at all. You do not even jump anymore so let's be honest every regiment in the British army are all the same.
As a Light Infantry vet it fills me with pride seeing these young professional soldiers represent all which was great in the old Light Division.

Join the club. I was 1 RGJ but left as the amalgamation started and 1 was chopped. Right after N.I.
One of the most battle hardened regiments of the British army with a great resume dating all the way back to the Napoleonic Wars.
If you think about it the original special ops
Even to the American Revolution from which Rifles and Light Infantry Regiments evolved and not forgetting the experiences in India with the adoption of Gurkha Rifles.
our regimental forbears even gave the Whitehouse its name by burning it 🙌🏻

Thank you for posting .The history of the 60th , 95th Rifles and the 43rd,52nd, 85th light is carried forward in the Rifles.Much respect.😀

The rifles are who I'm joining if I don't get into paras first. Then later down I'll retry paras.
@Raj Maj that's what I've been doing. I've decided to go paras first. But if I don't get in then it's rifles. Then a retry at paras later on

You won’t find any difference apart from the para jumps. You gotta be extra fit for both.
