Magnus: "It was just beginners luck."
Also Magnus: "There's no such thing as luck."
Magnus doesn't want to be lucky. He only wants to be chalky.
Funny how “there’s no such thing as luck” was said as a compliment to Benjamin, where “beginner’s luck” was just him being humble. Magnus is genuinely such a great guy
When reality meets humbleness. You end up contradicting yourself.
Shooting assault rules is actually very easy. Way easier than shooting pistols. Magnus and his instructor proved that. Anyone can do it!
Awesome
Video starts: Magnus is on a tank
Me: "you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention."
Looks like a CV90, gonna be my job in a few months. About the have my last field trip for my basic training.
the standard of English is always amazing with Norwegians and Swedes. I always feel that these guys could serve in the British Army with no problem as they can speak English all day long and to a great standard
They get English language TV all across Scandanavia, with captioning in usually two other languages. Almost everyone in Norway, Sweden, and Finland are bilingual or trilingual.
I love Norway, Sweden and Finland! Although mostly love Norway.
@@slappy8941 Denmark never gets any love...
its interesting because in games, usually swedes, norwegains, brits and danes get bundled into same server region
@@visby2548 true, im from norway my self but love the danes to :D
Awesome, 35:50 snow messages. :D I'm on a binge of Magnus' military collab videos on a YT algo recommendation. Your effort and the video quality is amazing. Thank you for sharing your growth/challenge zone with us!
Hahaha exactly, I just saw the message and scrolled down to see if anyone else noticed.
Those snow messages were the only reason I came to the comment section, went over way to many peoples heads lol
Lol😄 I don't think they want ours, though😆
@@zenotimperman5343 haha same lol
I saw it but I couldn't make it out
35:50 mysterious message
Loool, how did you notice that 😂
haha, saw that aswell xD "a message brought to you by the Norwegian Army"
Yo I found it too
I was just searching the comments to see if anyone else saw it! Haha
Yea that was subtle :D
Magnus when he realises the gym doesn’t allow chalk: this video
Magnus: "Time to go to war."
No chalk? Hand grenades it is.
Halla
Oh I j jt try
LMAO
A big shout out to the Norwegian Command who allowed this candid insite with Magnus to happen. As a Brit soldier, I was always jealous of the Norwegian Army kit (clothing). The 1st item of 'gucci' kit that we bought once out of training was a "Norwegian shirt". Not so much a shirt as a smock with a zip-up roll neck. Absolutely essential! Eventually, they became part of our issued kit, so we no longer had to spend a week's wages to get one.
You talking about the FROG smock ?;yeah those rule.
Loved my norgy 😂
@@K20XRL That and get a wooby from the yanks.. You're on your way.
As a norwegian, i served in UNIFIL in Lebanon. Many other nations served there too. And i remember getting visit from Irishbat. They where desperat to get their hands on those shirts. We call them "feltskjorte"(fieldshirt). And we swapped with a pair of desert military boots they got and we did not get. We used regular black army boots we also used during winter back in Norway. :)
Still got my norgy
Norway: I soldiered there 30 years ago. Tough country, tough climate, and astonishing people. Always low-key, modest, and understated, but tough - as proven by this short film.
Norge
This video didn't prove anything.
@@DerrickLanders-bg8wc It proved much more than you just did
@@philipsturtivant9385 You just proved my point - bunch of yokels amazed at basic boot camp tasks...go sit down.
Its crazy how natural it looks with Magnus in a uniform
I've only seen the first few seconds and already completely agree
Well he's a fighter
Anyone who is in good physical shape, or muscular, an athlete, will look "natural" in military uniform, because we are used to seeing soldiers in uniform who are in better physical shape than the average person, so they just go together.
@@oldi6btm6t9d4 He is a fighter of gravity. True. 😄
But his running form reminds me of my gf, lol
Magnus without chalk is like 40% of his full capability, frankly the Norwegian Army did well keeping up with Magnus in a chalk-less condition
You know, that was not snow on the ground.
And with a shirt on to boot!
Magnus with chalk is still only 90%, until the top comes off
They are way better than him overall in terms of the physical training. It's all about endurance and durability. Magnus is strong and fast, with some durability, but he's not at the level of the Army, and nowhere near the level of endurance. If you watch the end of the video, you notice he slowed down pretty quickly, whereas, the other guys were keeping the same pace the entire time.
Magnus isn't Scandinavian, ever! Egyptian- American Indian! M= moved, as MH=vectors!
As a former Infantryman, 1:19 for targets over 300m in an unsuported position is really fast! Great job Telemark Battalion!
They are one of our true professional volunteer formations,and they are great 👍
Video : Shock grenades
Auto Subtitles : Chalk Grenades
Magnus : yeah that's my jam yeah
lol
A lot of climbers: "I took up climbing because I don't like dealing with people"
Magnus: "Hell yeah, who haven't I done a collab video with yet? That's right, the Army!"
Next week on Demolition Ranch....
@@MrBenHart you almost made me spit out my drink. I'd love to see Matt work out with Magnus and Magnus grab the 50.
@@MrBenHart was confused why he was worried about showing guns on video
I don't think people realize how insane a 500m shot is for a beginner- Magnus really does excel in everything he puts his mind to!!
Well... considering how generous the soldiers were being with the hand grenades, it's possible they were just humoring him during the "competition"
Yeah, is the US Army the average soldier is taught to shoot at targets 300 meters away. There are advanced schools that can teach soldiers to shoot targets up to 600 meters away and yes that is tricky. Especially with iron sights.
Yeah, in the army, us regulars only used to shoot at 300 m. With iron sights that was tricky for a beginner
You have to consider the weapons as well...and the weather..because the weapon is pretty good and colder weather effects atmosphere...also optics
@@Razgar74 The cold makes the air denser, so it slows down the bullets. The HK 416 is very accurate, the US Marines use it as an automatic assault rifle and as a designated marksman rifle, the only difference being the optics.
I have no military experience but am going through the enlistment process right now for the British Army. These videos have been an incredible inspiration Magnus, Thank you sir!
Did you end up starting your military career?
So? Did u get in mate
I’m in Denmark’s National Guard serving as volunteer SOF Support - and I love this Norwegian army series you’ve made. Nicely done Magnus 🤜🏼🤛
Magnus is an animal but the camera man keeping up, can we just give him props for a second?!
Magnus also had a lot of weight, those vests fully loaded are not light!
What? What vests? He's in a t-shirt
@@wrathika the freaking bullet proof vest
@@kaelbryant7660 he didn’t have a vest on him while doing the obstacle course
@@tysier3731 I thought he was talking about when magnus was running after the rifle shooting, because there was multiple camera men during the obstacle course
First scene: I hope this video doesn't get demonetized
Next scene: Magnus strips into his underwear...
Had me cracking up
497
Haven’t watched a video in a while from this channel, really happy to see how Magnus seems to be feeling very comfortably in english and also noticing how the cut and production of videos even improved. Awesome content! One of the most entertaining channels out there definitely
Magnus this would be a great series where you travel to different military units and train with them for 24 hours. “Magnus Meets the Military”
Free military training 👍
When he's quiet, he looks like a hard ass operator. And then he breaks out in his usual friendly smile and polite language and foils the image. I love it.
Army guy: "Next competition is THROWING hand-grenades"
Me, who just watched the final episode of Mesterens Mester: "Ah shit, i see where this is going!"
Redemption!
Jeg så også den siste episoden nylig og ble irritert. Håpløst at det var en kaste konkurranse på slutten. Også med en håndballspiller blant deltagerne 🤦♂️ Magnus knuste dem, og fortjente å vinne!
Hahaha, veldi sant
Ah shit here we go again
@@MS-we4wi mhm i was thinking the same thing
I was in the US Army for 5.5 years. I had a great time and it taught me so much. You did great Magnus and would go extremely far if you would have chose the Army as a career. 👍
Awesome effort Magnus - these guys do have heaps of practice behind them, and for you it was the first time. If you joined them, I reckon you could certainly push for the win - at least in the obstacle course! Great work mate, and excellent that we could watch it all. Cheers mate.
"If you get demonetized, at least you'll have fun doing it". LOL I love that!
1:53 I hope Magnus wasn’t and had fun ... he’s a natural... He should go head to head with anton
@@scottessery100 Yea hopefully he doesn't!
Everyone in the world knows that the Norwegian's Army's Achilles Heel is the brightness of the sun. 🤣
@@ThomasWinslove I believe melee combat and firefights require different proficiencies, so I'd say the "warior genes" as you say don't really count for much now
@@ThomasWinslove Maybe it went over my head, but do you mean to believe that the Vikings were bad warriors?
@Garren Brooks Haha clueless.
@@scene6289 You clearly have never been even near the military
That's why they always wear sunglasses even in the evening 😂
USAF- we have a very similar obstacle course in our basic training which is hard on its own, I couldn’t imagine having to do all that running in that deep snow! Props to you Magnus for doing such a great job on the course, and the shooting as well, despite not having hardly any experience! Great video, I love everything you put out from climbing to collabs like this one!
Saw your yearbook video and how you were proud of Norwegian Army series you made. Didn't watch them when they were first released but because of the yearbook video, purposely came back to watch them. Excellent videos. Also appreciate you putting yourself in situations you're less comfortable with and watching you learn a new skill and see your appreciation for what others do. Don't let the distractors get to you. Keep on putting out the videos you want to make.
It's *detractors.
I am curious to know if his time was faster than any of the others since he was competing against the best one.
I am curious too. It can't be too shabby of a time, even without practicing cardio Magnus still has good one. Climbing requires cardio anyway
For first time, Magnus did great. But against soldiers who train regularly on uneven terrain, it’s very hard to beat.
Judging by how others smiled he is not the fastest
@@artemdorin im sure some of them were slower on their first time doing that course
I just like how even exhausted he just campuses the rope at the end. Used his foot for like the first move then said fuck it and just sent it. Lol
"I feel like someone you shouldn't mess with". Looks like the beast Magnus finally took a look in the mirror :D.
My parents met while in the Army in Norway. After they got out they moved to Canada because of my dads job, they had me a year later.
I have been in the Canadian Army for 21 years. Most if not all Western civilization Armies train the same way.
I would love an opportunity to serve in the Norwegian Army , since my parents moved back to Norway I miss them.
My grandparents immigrated in the 30s and I am the only serving family member. I too wish I could have experienced Norway growing up. Then again, life in the 30s was very difficult in Norway. I did 26 years in the CF.
Thanks you for your service Sgt. From your British allies
That sounds very careless of them to have a son and leave him in Canada.
@@rovhalt6650 I realize this I probably a little tongue in cheek, but the guy is a Canadian adult citizen
I hardly ever comment, but dude I love your videos. Not just the military content but EVERYTHING man. The “strong men try” videos are a crazy cool concept, and you seem like an awesome dude. Keep up the good work!
Did 5 years in Telemark Battalion, with some of these guys from the vid. Almost nostalgic seeing the main gate and the TMBN HQ again. Great video!
Har du tips til en som skal søke opptak?😄
@@aleksandersj2922 Tren på å gå med tung sekk er det viktigste. Tren på å gå lenge uten mat er og lurt. Utover det så aldri gi opp, viljestyrke er alt 😉

Akkurat, takk igjen! Stor respekt for deg og di gutta der, takk for innsatsen!
35:50 Read what the snow says 😂😂 .. the Norwegian army has a sense of humour too
Hey Magnus
was searching through comments to see if anyone noticed ahahah
I'm Norwegian myself, and i was suprised with how well Magnus did! Looking forward to more videos like this!
Har du vært gjennom førstegangstjeneste? Er 16 og har veldig lyst til å gå inn
@@eirik3938 Gør det min dreng. Du får en livserfaring som intet andet
One of my favourite episodes! What i like about you is that you always try new and crazy things. You like get in the others shoes for a day both because you like it and in order to show us something totally new!
I trained with these guys back in 2014, i still have one of their patches in my office. One of my favorite military experiences
Any fun stories that comes to mind? :)
@@willek1335 Nothing like waking up in the early morning cold of a dreary German November in my up armored HMMWV, looking out over the misty hills, only to nearly die of a heart attack when a platoon of Norwegian Leopard 2's crest the hill and start aiming their 120 Smooth boor canons at you.
@@Motofiend lol
Did not expect this video and I have zero complaints !
From my experience with Norwegian military they are amazing. They worked with us during for several weeks in the US and they were awesome. Love these guys.
I really admire your ambition, skills and willingness to put yourself out there, trying so many challenges! You are awesome! Thank you for sharing
I´m 55 now, so its been a while since I´ve run the Military obstacle course :D :D But I was at Sergeant-school during winter, so I do remember stumbling around in the snow, empty stomach growling for food, lungs burning and body overheating, even in frosty weather and being so tired you could almost stand up and sleep hahaha. How nice to sit on the couch and remember now, compared to actually do it back then :D Good job Magnus, you did really well.
That request on a snow in 0:35:51 xD
Had to run to the comments to see if anyone else saw that LOL
@@andrewm9207 me top😂
@@andrewm9207 me to 😂😂
What are you looking at? Can't see anything
Hahahhha
Wow, what an awesome looking obstacle course. I remember doing cold-weather training at Camp Fuji, but I don't recall anything that elaborate. I do remember that running on snow is very similar to running on sand, but oh boy does that cold air make a difference. Really burns the lungs. Oorah!
Im a weapons instructor and from my perspective, you did very well for the first time shooting a rifle. I teach a few hour classes and still have so many problem people. Props to you!
Magnus straight up dying, still does the outro haha. That youtuber content grind hits different when ur chilling with the military!
This is such a good video! It is completely unbelievable that you produce these yourself - they are better than most TV shows. Thank you so much for all the hard work that must go into making these it definitely does not go unappreciated 🥰
I was fortunate enough to be embedded with the Norwegians in 2018 for operation trident juncture. Such amazing humble dudes and we got to go out in town with them for one night which was a good time in itself 😎 formed bonds with those guys forever and still talk to this day
Holy!!!!! What a nice experience, I'm from costa rica we do not have any army here, but seeing you performing those trainings makes me wanna try them, the shooting part was amazing.
Fire at will.
Everyone named Will: I'm not sure if I like this.
I've seen this one a while ago, so I guess, you are a man of culture as well. 👍
I did not expect to see Magnus on a tank today, very cool!
An obvious observation to make but imagine getting a bunch of British or American soldiers to make a RUclips video in a second language! Standard of English with these guys is absolutely unreal.
Magnus, you did a great job competing with professionals! Good tricks during the exercises too.
Sometimes beginner shooters are naturally good their first day because they haven't developed any bad shooting habits. And you seem like a good student so looks like you did a great job.
I remember basic training.. most beginners flinch before pulling the trigger all the way trough because they anticipate the shot/recoil and don't have memorized the exact trigger point so they move the weapon more than necessary right before the shot. And it helps to exhale and hold your breath. But that's not really something you'd teach a beginner that won't shoot again. And let's not forget that the effective range on these rifles is 200 to 300 meters you will barely be in a situation where you have to hit a target that's 500m away
If he'd gotten a bit more practice, and correction on the grip, he'd most likely shot a bit better with the pistol
@@arnefines2356 this man.. im a bit shocked and disappointed that instructor didn't fix Magnu's posture first of all and then his grip on the pistol. That really hindered his accuracy i bet.
@@apet1572 Yeah, 10 more minutes would have made a difference..
"Next one is throwing hand granades"
"Another one of my favorites"
Hahahhahahaha
This is the best colab ever. I am amazed and grateful that they put live rounds (and grenades) in his hands and that everyone stayed safe.
27:30 I can imagine you'd be shaky! I still remember my first time throwing an M67 Frag grenade when I was in the Canadian Infantry Reserves. It was very exciting though :)
I love that magnus is drained of all of his energy but on that final rope climb he was like "fuck it I'll campus it, ALL ARMS BABY!" What a beast.
Obstacle courses always look easier than they are, that's how they get you the first time
This is awesome. Thank you for letting us see how you are based on the best of the best. You honor all in this video
Nice video and enjoying your content :)
Cool to see slight insight to Norwegian army.
Noticed how you went straight in with scope with that riffle :)
As served in Finnish Navy coastal yeager/reconnaissance battalion as a conscript back in the days.
We went through a lot of basic training only using iron sights at the beginning. Basically to master iron sight with that AK type of riffle to hit anything around from 100 to 400 meters.
Hand grenades are something to make anyone nervous at the beginning for sure :D
That obstacle course looked fun.
Cheers.
I served in the Greek Army (Signal Corps - Comms) for 18 months. Of course in Greece we have conscription as well but it is only 9-12 months now. The most important thing I learnt is that you cannot take anything for granted. The person standing beside you, no matter what walk of life he comes from, you must learn to appreciate them and rely on them since you're might be putting your life on his hands (and vice versa). The other most important thing I learnt is that you discover limits far beyond the ones you thought yours were.
in norway we was draftet to 1990 army 12mnd sea 16mnd air 16mnd,
Well said. I was conscript too 28 years ago - and learned things about myself and others I can't say for sure I would have exposed myself to learn elsewhere.
My main rough lesson was: "It's not ALL up to me - trust people have different strengths and talents - don't shy away from revealing your strengths and weaknesses - it helps everyone know - no one is perfect, everyone is fit for some purpose."
“What your mother thinks you can do is about 20% of what you can do. What you think you can do is about 40% of what you can do. We raise the bar for people so they can meet the demands that the war places on them" - So says an officer in the infamous coastal ranger documentary "blood, sweat and poop" from the early 90's.
Life is a humbling experience - mandatory conscription to some basic training/instruction - be it focused civil or military - it is a human right in my view.
When crisis hits - unity and humanity are HOW and WHY to survive.
Again, well said - got me ranting :)
Honor to the Greek!
Hold your head up high, Magnus. These guys do that for a living and you were competitive. Exceptionally well done.
I'm new to this channel so idk if this is like a usual thing, but they really speak in english the enitre time even though they all speak norweigian as their native language? How cool is that? Making such interesting and exciting videos for the whole world to watch and understand.. just amazing!
Knowing how well Magnus does on obstacles makes it that much more impressive to se the other guy fly trough 😳
I was in the US Army Infantry for 3 years, I had my fair share of training similar to this relatively often. But I wish it would’ve been this stuff more often, and less sitting in the company building doing nothing or reading serial numbers for layouts. And our field training events were often just walking through the woods for several hours, to eventually hit a poorly set up objective for 5-10 minutes when we’re tired and sore, and getting ~3 hours of sleep cuz you have to pull security all night in your patrol base. Deployment was the highlight of those 3 years
Great video Magnus, theres a few similarities but they are a mechanized infantry unit and I belong to an airborne unit in the American army. Surprising to see how well funded the Norwegians are however, glad that you guys are an ally! One side note is that this is all the fun stuff of the job, majority of the time you're cleaning up stuff or freezing/sweating your balls off in the woods hating your life. So don't worry Magnus, you're not missing out on much haha.
If you only knew, the Telemark battlion is the cream of the crop or the best of the best so its no wonder they get the most funds and best gear.
The same can't be said about the rest of the army and even worse for the home guard belive or not some of the home guard soldiers have m75 uniforms or uniforms that were issued in 1975 and they still use it to this day cuz they aren't getting as much funds as the army.
Same goes for their weapon they still used the g3 a rifle the got issued in the 60s and didn't get swaped out by hk416 until resently.
@@MNM-lq9te Interesting to hear, because in America mechanized infantry is kind of just seen as a regular unit and nothing special. My buddy just got back from Iraq and he had the Telemark battalion on his base with him and had nothing but good things to say, these dudes all look like vikings and put our military to shame.
@@johndeere5785 Yeah the Telemark Battalion is mechanized but on the other hand they are kind of the spearhead of the Norwegian army. And as far as i know they have somewhat special forces status so a bit like the US Army Rangers of some kind. Greetings and respect from germany.
Spot on.
Thank you Magnus - great video, as always. 🦊✨🌿
This was my first video of yours.
I'm impressed and look forward to watching more of your videos.
RAH
Pretty much identical to Australian ARMY training, just less snakes.
Less snakes, more snow I am guessing
*fewer
aus got cooler camo tho
Aussies can't handle the cold
@@DrSpink2000 the amount of spider webs they got it pretty much looks like snow
One of your best yet. Keep up the good work.
i served in the Singapore army (well it was a conscript) but it was hella fun. we only had 1 primary weapon for every soldier but it changes according to the needs of the platoon. we also got the chance to throw a hand grenade but that was really just to give everyone a chance to throw one, not so much hitting a specific target (just not drop it in the shelter). This video was a good reminisce of my army days and I'm totally inspired.
Magnus you should invite guys to your gym. Teach them how to climb so they can protect Norway even better
Probably do repelling down cliffs in full kit.
@@dave_h_8742 It's very likely they do considering the terrain and everything
24:15 - English CC: "chalk grenade [..]"
The CC AI has correctly identified it as one of Magnus' videos - if in doubt, just transcribe it as "chalk", it'll be correct 9/10 times.
I gave you an automatic thumbs up for just finishing that obstacle course. I had to a course that was designed to do a similar thing which is after about 4 minutes you can hardly breathe and none of your muscles are getting any oxygen I almost passed out when I finished..lol This was part of the fitness test required at the Police Academy. You did good. :-)
Brilliant job Magnus, as others have said. An impressive first day on the ranges 💪
Should’ve had Anton do this and show them how it’s done Russian style
Might be a conflict of interest
Backflip tomahawk throw incoming
anton should try doing spetsnaz training lol
Lmao now Im picturing him getting there and doing a full auto sweep with an ak hitting all targets in less than a minute
He'd lose half of tanks and break the other half
Really makes me feel excited that your doing one of these videos. I really love watching youtubers take on military challenges like these. I personally liked this video because I'm from Norway and I always wanted to know how it is inside of this.
I remember training along side this unit when I was in the Army. We exchanged our patches and most of them were all pretty cool dudes.
Well done Magnus, great effort and excellent results. The Norwegian army, having worked with them, I can testify are second to none. They modestly preform to a vey high standard without being overly noisy about it.
The “send nudes” in the snow at 35:50😂
I thought that's what that said 😂
Hahaha well spotted
God damn sniper over here
24:17 Turn on english subtitles and read how the translation turns "schock grenade" into "chalk grenade"...
loving the trigger discipling Magnus Great JOB!
This dude is fun to watch. Very genuine and respectful.
Really cool to see how you attack some obstacles differently! Esp when jumping over that wall you can really see how Magnus moves differently with his climbing background. Super cool video!!
I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did but Magnus always manages to make great content! Looking forward to the next segment!
It's amazing to see someone we know with insane grip strength to fire a 9mm pistol like it's a 357 magnum lol, goes to show how important technique is over raw strength, as with many things.
This was incredibly awesome ! These video’s are great !
Super excited to see something like this on this channel. You never cease to entertain, man
One of the most entertaining videos I've seen. You did damn good!
People forget that they've done this many many times and this was your first time.
Can't wait for the next video!
Respect for just giving it a go. The only way we can know how physically and psychologically demanding military training is is to go and do it.
I was in the British Army many years ago and served alongside the Norwegians and Swedish Armed Forces in Kosovo '99. Very professional bunch of men and women. Well done in your competitions! Never done an obstacle course in 2ft snow but i did loads in boggy mud.. Think i'd prefer snow!
Your videos get better and better Magnus, keep it going man!
Also the army guys are so professional and cool and the same time.
As a soldier, one of the aspects that is overlooked is carrying heavy equipment in uneven terrain in the forests or mountains or snow for long periods of time.
Your attempt was pretty good and this video is unexpected but very enjoyable.
Running in combat boots for the first time is also pretty hard
@@QuartzBlocGaming Just gotta shuffle, i wonder if other forces do TABBING ?
Dude my blood was pumping hard throughout the video! This was so much fun!
Magnus: "I have never thrown a hand grenade before, but uh, I have thrown other things." I think it's underrated just how funny this guy is....😆I am so so entertained by all of these military videos!
the most amazing thing in this video is the English level of these guys lol does every Norwegian knows English this well?!?
Pretty much.
Most nordic countries dont synchronise english movies and shows but put subtitles in. Thats why they speak english on such a high level on average
@@Jonas-ij4td what a intelligent way of doing it ! I would have love to easily understand more than one language as a kid
@@Jonas-ij4td well in Israel (my country of origin) we also put subtitles instead of dubbing movies/shows from abroad, and our average level of english is ALOT less than this lmao. maybe its a part of the reason, but now THE reason.
We are required to learn English from we're around 8 years old (3rd grade) and then an additional language from 8th grade through 10th grade as well as the first year of high school "11th grade". Basically every person in Norway under the age of 50 speaks it more or less fluently :)
WOW, Magnus, hitting all the targets man!!!! that's CRAZY, as the team leader said it at the beginning YOU ARE A NATURAL. I will give you more likes if I can.!! Well Done! enjoying this video very much!!!!
The Norwegian Army speaks pretty good English! They seem like very calm, professional operators.
Greetings from Singapore! I was an Armoured Infantry trooper during my days serving my full time national service. Interesting to see the Norwegian Military!
Nice to see you collaborating with TMBN. Have worked there myself and cool to watch you do the same exercises and tests I have done. Can't wait for the next one!
