Highly accurate, just some bloke in clip at the end of the month, dying a death from a hangover, making a baked bean sandwich cause he’s skint. Pretty standard month
for me when I was in the UK (in my later service) a Sunday was spent traveling back to camp and getting my gear ironed for the next day! As a young lad it was spent on the piss and trying not to be hung over on the Monday morning parade! lol
A very different style of accommodation, to my era 80's/90's. If I wasn't waking up in some foreign lass's bed, following a good night out, I'd be round the cook house for steak and eggs brunch.
My ex was a Royal Engineer and I'd go on base to visit him ocasionally if he couldn't or didn't want to drive home. We'd share a sing;e bed and just watch movies in his room or go away for a couple nights. I liked the base but he made sure I didn't meet anyone else if he could help it. Not sure why.
Your ex didn't want people seeing you because as a civilian your not meant to be on the camp unless you have been cleared by the guard commander or provo sargeant or you work on the camp. I always knew the guard shift Rota so I could persuade a mate to let the barmaid who usually dropped me off after a night out through the gate and that's probably how your ex used to get you on camp too I would have thought that kind of stuff wouldn't be able to happen these days with the security risk but I suppose where there's a will there's a way 😂
@@RossNaylor-uq4jp I don't think that was the case. I had to go into an office , sign a book and get my pic taken for a a pass card ID stating how long I was going to be there etc.
Sick video mate always noice to see a day in the life your a propper sound guy 😝😝🤪😆😆🤣🤣 but why you gonna leave the Army dude if you don't mind me asking 🙃🙃😶😶
Thanks so much!! Off to explore new things Mate! This channel has made me realise there’s more out there than the army can offer me personally 🤙 time to be freeeee 😂
Another great video. What area are you living in where the fuel prices are that high, mate? That's a good 15p a litre higher than here in Derby at the moment. Crazy money!
Be careful with that cooker mate QM will cut the plug off! (Not that! That was an issue when I was in 1999-2013) However those highlights in your hair would have made you IC Shit Jobs till you got them sorted lol.. Or probably Jailed in 99 to early 00's lol.. (Good luck in Civ Div its not as bad put have a plan that's the best advice I can give.)
I was expecting a vanlife daily ritual but then I realized you are not living in a van full time 😅. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed watching this lazy Sunday vid. I think I need to get that ironing table cover as I easily get frustrated whenever I can‘t get all the creases off of my clothes 😂🤭
It’s on the Horizon I’m leaving for good reason 😉 Ngl the ironing board is buggered! 😂 it’s got sentimental value though as I’ve had it since training haha
Lol. Send that cover my way if ever you wanna dispose it mate 😅. I’m so stoked for whatever you gonna do after you leave the service. I have a feeling we gonna see more of a vanlife and adventures on your channel.
I am ex forces 63. Single guys on camp complained about paying food 7 days a week when some went home. Typical forces Army and RAF changed to pay as you dine. Instead of paying £3 a day for 3 good hot meals you pay 50p for breakfast cereal. Starve to save.
@@OldhamSteve52Yes, I'd guess that it causes some personal welfare issues - funds diverted from a nutricious and balanced diet towards, perhaps, a more liquid based one. 🙄🙄
My fkn word how things have changed! We'd wake up in our 8 man doss, get a shower, cookhouse then straight back out on the piss again!! Kit was squared away Friday afternoon so you could fall out the shower, throw it on, a swift off brush Monday morning then first parade!! Rooms look decent too!!
@@JakesJourneyMate bugger off lol 😂😂 I spent 14 and a half years in QRH lol the only good thing about KRH is kingy 🤣🤣 he’s an absolute legend lol good look on the outside though mate, the grass is greener even though I miss it every single day and only got out to stay in Germany with my missus. I’d get back in tommorow if the reg came back to Germany but I’ve landed on my feet and so will you mate 🤜 take it easy enjoy Xmas and look forward to ya new chapter 💪
@@andys7314 hahaha! Kingy! Love it 😂 top geeez! Glad you landed on your feet mate! I know I’ll miss it too! Really appreciate the support mate! Have a good Christmas! 🤙
@@JakesJourneyMate yeah he is lol so is judgey lol I was on crew commanders with both of them and then I was on Recce commanders with Liam Harris all top blokes :)
It may have changed. But In the first 6 weeks no you can’t go home or leave camp. After that, unless it’s a working weekend or you mess up then you’re good to go 🤙

Man had a baked bean Wrap

Jake I love the bunk bed, that's an awesome idea to have in the block! Your accommodation looks decent
Cheers cuz! ‘So much room for activities!’ 😂
for me when I was in the UK (in my later service) a Sunday was spent traveling back to camp and getting my gear ironed for the next day! As a young lad it was spent on the piss and trying not to be hung over on the Monday morning parade! lol
Haha sounds about right mate!
Thanks for the insight. Your place gives a very cosy vibe. A good space too
Thanks so much! 🙏
Nice ink mate! Would be cool to hear some of the history behind some of it. Hope you are having a good week!
Thank you! Ya know what! I’ll do that at some point! thanks 🤙
From a 50 year old veteran.... Is that a room in the singlies block?
Times have changed massively and all for the better by the look of it!
Aye mate! Single room it is! Every soldier here has their own room 🤙
same here my first barracks was in fally.unchanged since the whermacht had it .fuck me things have changed ha ha

Because your not allowed in barracks. Also he didn't want any of his other service birds, seeing you.
that beats hands down the rooms at my old base at Caterham, good job you don't get 2 year deployments, that would be a pain to pack up
Best quote ever excuses are like arse holes everyone has one no one wants to hear it
The truth ain’t it 😂
Some advice from a vet put an old lady’s tight tight over your take of brush (polishing boots)see the difference in the shine it’s unbelievable
Haha cheers man! Not a drama now, I’m out on Tuesday 🤙

So on Sunday you can't eat at the mess hall? Or use laundry service?
Yeah ya can, the foods just shite! 😂😂

Can’t believe you’ve still got plugs on your kit in the kitchen. QM is slacking.
So the QM hasnt taken all the kettles, microwaves and toasters away…
It’s a blessing in Disguise 😅
Hi Jake
So no regimental cookhouses anymore? Do all "living in" guys cook their own food nowadays?
Who cleans the shared kitchen😄😄??
No there’s still a cook house, most just preferred to cook in the block as the food is dire there haha!
Block jobs Ayit haha 🤙

It may have changed.
But In the first 6 weeks no you can’t go home or leave camp.
After that, unless it’s a working weekend or you mess up then you’re good to go 🤙
your allowed your own vehicle on base?
Yep, multiple as long as they’re Taxed, MOT’d & insured as well as a vehicle pass from the guard room once these details have been checked 🤟

To run around in a van full time like a mad man 👌
