very cool and bloody stressful, wishing all members of P company the best of luck 👍🇬🇧

[@simonrogersparachuteregime3022]

P Coy is quite easy I guess for parachute regiment as recruits you do all the events most weeks anyhow and being p coy staff I only really saw all arms crap hats struggle but that's up to there pre para and not forgetting p coy is the minimal requirements, in battalion we tent to do 10miler followed by 2 miler then BFT all done before lunch.

Appreciate the comment mate 👍🏻

I did All Arms P Coy back in '71 at Depot Para Aldershot. Twice. 😭😂. Bust my wrist first time round. Did the pre Para beat up with the Guards at Pirbright, then a week at Depot followed by Selection Week. Ended up in Wales for the stretcher race and a run up Pen y Fan for overnight bivvy then a race down the mountain in the morning to the trucks, ENDEX, cuppa char and a 4 hour trek back to 'Shot and the beret parade next day. P Coy was not easy, even for me as a fit X Country runner. Happy days, tho'. 👍

@@ken-u3n I think it’s pretty clear that it’s hard for most people. There is a reason that most events have multiple people coming off, para reg and all arms. Most people are fit enough to be there but either get injuries or struggle mentally.
In my opinion of course 😛

[@ken-u3n]

@@KyleSmithFIT Very true. Its a case of mind over matter. The DS didn't mind, and we didn't matter. Exactly as it should be. If you want it you've got to fight for it. Cheers. 👍

[@KyleSmithFIT]

@@ken-u3n that’s right mate 👍🏻

[@qwertyPROairsoft]

Easiest week of depot

[@paulh3935]

1989 Nearly bottled the illusion jump. The only thing that made me jump was the DS calling me a wanker and if I didn't jump I was off the course. The thought of the previous 5 weeks of beastings all being for nothing did the trick!

[@KyleSmithFIT]

Looks a lot further than what it is mate. Going back to the start of the course is brutal, wouldn’t recommend it to anyone 🤣

[@Ian-hg8gx]

if you haven't already please listen to the australian song i was only 19 by redgum about the vietnam war. a powerful song that everyone should hear, i suggest trying a video that includes the lyrics to aid your reaction.

[@vyanguy2997]

Hey Kyle I love your videos it's motivate me to join british army.
Please make a video in commonwealth application portal form it's hard to fill the form very confusing.

[@KyleSmithFIT]

Thanks mate, appreciate you watching. Unfortunately I can’t help you there, I don’t have access to it to do a walk through, sorry ☹️

[@theou1883]

Hey, I've been loving your content and it's been super helpful when I'm applying for the reserves. I have a problem though, and I would really appreciate any suggestions.
I was filling in the medical form, and I had Raynauds Disease when I was younger, which is something that instantly blocks you from joining the army. My health is entirely on point, I would smash the physical with flying colours, and I don't even have any symptoms of it anymore. It seems like a non-factor that wouldn't affect me at all.
I can't actually apply without ticking the box to confirm I have never had it. How do I go about doing this?

[@Zoomer_Analysis]

Just lie

[@HubbaHubba64]

I wonder how many of those Instructors done the Balloon jump

[@KyleSmithFIT]

Probably none mate, not sure it’s a thing anymore. I remember my grandad telling me about these when I was doing my jump course.

[@HubbaHubba64]

@@KyleSmithFIT My brother-in law done it in the 80's and he said it was the scariest jump he had done , static line about 800 ft

[@KyleSmithFIT]

@@HubbaHubba64 no split stream that’s why, you just fall straight down 🤣

[@nickblow9448]

Attachments comments, non applicable. Unless you want to join the REMFS
Thanks

[@williamconroy6014]

Great video of p company how many attempts can you have on p coy 👍

[@KyleSmithFIT]

Thanks mate, it all depends on what regiment etc some maybe more lenient but my regiment was 3 attempts and you would normally get posted to another regiment within your trade.

[@hantykje3005]

Is the Trinasium a race?

[@KyleSmithFIT]

Nope 😁

[@callum99964]

I want to join the infantry at 19 do you think I should start training now. if so what should I be doing I'm 17 at Moment

[@Jamie-nw5st]

Im starting basic for infantry in October and Im training by running about 30 miles a week and a lot of hiit (calisthenics), press ups pull ups stuff like that

[@callum99964]

Nice what is it like

[@KyleSmithFIT]

Yes mate, it does have to be anything to crazy but start getting in the habit of doing 2-3 runs a week, build the distance and speed up as you improve and some good old fashion press ups, sit ups, squats, and pulls ups (if you can).
The more prepared you are, the easier training will be. If you turn up and have done nothing you will struggle and probably not enjoy it as much.

[@callum99964]

Thank you
