      I don't know about marching but if you're interested in military drill videos,I'd suggest you search for "Amazing march Indian Army 2019".Continuing the traditions of the British Army which was it's forerunner,drills and marching are an important part of the Indian Armed Forces.It's just a suggestion though.You have a great day Sir.Stay safe.

    Got my pass out in 4 weeks. Just passed BC2 and did Bayonet Training this morning which was rats as it was the morning after coming off exercise where you’re sleep deprived but it gets all your negative emotions out. But yeah, I was always watching this video before I started to get me excited for basic. Now it’s surreal to think my dream is going to be a reality soon. All I have left is Drill test, RFT, BCD test. Can’t think of anything else.
    For those with a date of have recently started. Training will get shit, you’ll have moments where you want to leave but just work 110% and push yourself through adversity and remember the reason you’re there in the first place. Work hard at all times and don’t give up. Don’t take anything personally.

    A great day and a landmark day in the whole process. I remember it with fondness, marching onto the square with the families watching. A lot of us were Intelligence Corps so the band jokingly played us something James Bondy, and knocked out the theme from Skyfall. Well done to all.

    I was high as kite on my pass out parade, I tweeted a ligament in my knee 3 days before and the only way I could march without a limp was to dose my self up on strong painkillers. Got through it, then my knee went completely 2 days after and I ended up on crutches.

    Fabziy, thanks for posting these videos, my son wants to join the Army but they have reminded me of my RAF basic training at Swinderby as an Airman, Finningley as SNCO Aircrew and finally at Cranwell as an Officer. You are absolutely right to focus on mental fortitude and determination to pass as both of these qualities are required for when you go onto service in your branch, trade, regiment, squadron, corps or where ever you find yourself. It doesn't matter the branch of the military you join, basic training is where it all begins and you become a sailor, soldier or airman first; and where you make mates for life.

      I think we were the last to pass out there with the SLR as the next intake were using the SA80 as it came into service in the RAOC.

I had my initial visa refused when i got my invitation then a few months later the home office overturned the decision and it's now been given. But since my initial visa refusal even my CW application was withdrawn despite intensive training for basic training etc. Now I'm in a limble what could be the best advice 1) I reapply again which will take long 2)I travel to the UK & walk into the careers office or 3) perhaps get in contact with my old CSM manager.

    I have handled a SA80 in the Royal Artillery army cadets Is that the latest SA80 I can see I would sell my soul to the royal forces if they would let me unfortunately computer says no because of regulations and restrictions because I'm a reformed criminal and had some mental health in the past

      There is a recruit picked from each troop which are "best at drill" then 2 of the 3 get a pace stick and march at the back of the parade
