I’ve seen a lot of people talking about joining or saying they have joined and are frustrated with their progress. Hopefully this sheds a bit of light on the situation…
ATM the basic training schedule has changed completely so it has teething issues. Recruiters are just as frustrated as you are and you’ve got to remember they’re dealing with maybe 20 of you at once… instead of the old “Alpha, Bravo” setup, it is now a CMS 21(Reserve) package which consists of: A Mod 1 (weekend of basic soldiering, 24 hour clock, phonetic alphabet etc)
Mod 2: this is where things start to pick up… (7 days of basic drill, soldiering, weapon handling, field craft etc)
Mod 3: 15 day BATTLE CAMP (this is where your training is consolidated and hardened. Finishing with a 5 day exercise out in the field where you’re being pushed to test your ability to deal with your duties. Finishing with a pass off parade.
After this you are a Phase 1 trained soldier
Spoke to you a few weeks back, been to my local unit and also done and passed the medical assessment phone call. So far so good!
Well done mate stick at it it’s worth it in the end
@@lewiswalshfitness2773 Nice one mate, enjoying your videos good luck with your iron man thing, I do a bit of fitness myself so that should give me a good start. Keep you updated thanks.
@@michaelcampbell6782 thank you brother really appreciate it
What I realised is it’s cheaper to have you store a ton load of stuff in your room/house, then build a warehouse for it all to go in. CBRN no longer a thing for some reason but you need to keep storing your respirator.
You get a lot more kit issued than I had when I joined the TAVR in 1969. We did get two pairs of boots, but effectively one each of everything else. We did get a No. 2 uniform, which you don't get now, do you? We had the plain green Pattern 1960 combat uniform. The webbing we were issued was the Pattern 1937 set, although I didn't get a set, they had stopped issuing it just as I joined, but the army being the army they didn't issue anything in it's place. That meant when going on exercise I, and people who had joined after me, had to draw a set from stores which was usually in crap condition, leading us to receive bollockings about it's state. No, they wouldn't let me keep a set to get in good condition because they'd stopped issuing it, hadn't they? We were eventually issued the Pattern 58 webbing and DPM combats. I quite miss those days.
A lot has changed lol. Yeah we do get issued No.2
Don't forget your haribo for stag guys the shop at ATC Pirbright has a wide selection 😍🍬🍭🍬🍭
Papa johns was banging at pirbright
I loved the naffi in 1994 ,guards training 17 years old boy soilder. I only got £12 a week pocket money lol hairdressers next door i remember lol
I've only just remembered that I subscribed to your channel. I'm also joining the reserves. I'm just waiting to do my DBS, then I can get attested.
Thank you Liam really appreciate it brother. Good luck with it all mate
@@lucasb2884 I'm planning to train as a Port Operator for 165 Port and Maritime Regiment, RLC
Cheers for the video, me and a mate are doing selection soon and were looking for a video like this :)
thank you for watching and if have any questions just message me on here bro
recently aquired a uk mess kit. one i did is i got 2 of the heavy foil disposable brownie pans. than i cut a lid that fits each pan. for storage i fold in half an fit in the smaller pan.
Had 5 fantastic years in the TA would have loved to done more but over 30 years later i am still family
Cheers bud, was literally looking for one of these videos yesterday and couldnt find anything! Just loaded up RUclips and bam this popped up! Thanks for sharing
Glad I could help and if you need just let me know
@@lewiswalshfitness2773 I appreciate that mate. Currently looking at joining the reserves to work around my normal day to day job as a welder, maybe even turn into a full time career if I enjoy it. Just trying to weigh up all the pros and cons. Really appreciate the folk like yourself taking the time to create content like this, gives us an insight into it all that the careers office may not provide.
@@mrmiyagi892 yes mate completely understand I did the same but it’s the best choice I’ve made in a long time should’ve done it sooner. Thank you mate really appreciate it that’s one of the reasons why I started making videos because when I wanted to join there was nothing out there and the information was very limited
2:23 this is the start of the kit
thanks mate
I'm hoping to join the reserves in Bolton at 21 so I'm just tryna get my life in order and get a full time job
Nice one mate I just done the Bolton Ironman last week amazing support from Bolton lot
You forgot your battle buddy, 30 press ups now.
Sorry I’ll do them now
Nice, I tried to join years back but Crapitah had other ideas, they lost my application along with thousands of others for 14 months when all I had left to pass was the induction weekend. Whats the pay like these days and how's it all work since covid? Thinking of giving it another go if I can find time to get my fitness up.
Cheers mate great video. What do you for your day job and how did your employer react when you told them you was joining the reserves?
I work in horse racing mate and work 13 and 1/2 a fortnight and I still can fit it in.
When I first thought about it I was quite scared to ask them but they were really happy to help me and let me have the time off for training even though I used my holiday up
Great vid mate liked and subscribed!
Can I ask what webbing and armour you get that you have to leave at your unit? Was it exactly what was in the pic you put up when you talked about that or was that just an example. Cheers.
It depends on the unit that you’re with but 90% of the units had virtus helmets the one in the picture but I do know they are upgrading them all the time to the new gear
Got issued all mine and have only brought it home to stitch some patches on it, turn around from end of selection to attesting was 2 weeks, then another 2 weeks (ish) to get kit issued. Courses booked and are pretty close (beginning of April)
I'm also happy to answer any Qs
That’s what I did josh and thanks for helping brother
No probs brother, glad someone is doing videos to show off what we get and how well you get treated and equal to regs 🤙🏼
@@joshc1166 thank you mate really means a lot
I've joined the Scottish and north Irish yeomanry. Currently waiting on my kit and a date to start my training. Sucks its gonna be the modules as phase 1 !
@@jay-el8tn I just missed out on phase 1 and 2 as well, hey ho, we go on 😁😁 all the best bud
No Negativity here, Just a Gen Up, its a Bergen not Burgen bud. Good Skills and keep doing what you’re doing! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thinking of joining the reserves I'm 40 years old.
Do it mate you won’t be the oldest guy to join
@@lewiswalshfitness2773 Thanks the ball has already starting rolling!
@@michaelcampbell6782 nice one mate your love it
@@lewiswalshfitness2773 thanks again, should of done it years ago, got a reasonable level of fitness going down to my local unit next Tuesday coming.👌
Loved my time at the 125,th royal engineers Staffordshire great video manny thanks.
Really thats cool.. training Ironman.. i do training 70.3 too..
Hi mate! Nice video! I have 2 questions
1 Is it possible to buy some gear like mag pouches and stuff and use it?
2 can you wear those combat shirts? The ones that only have mtp camouflage on the sleeves
Yes mate you can buy anything you want too.
And yes you can wear the ubacs
My kit came and was slightly different i may make a video about my journey from selection through to now
Nice one mate
How was it different about it
Even the Afrika Korps did not have so much equipment
I like the old video
4:14 that I have that roll mat it was my dads it’s amazing good
Informative video. Nice one...
Thank for the video. Any chance we could get a video on army issue virtus knee pads and virtus armor? Thanks
Knee pads you have to buy yourself and body armour is hard to get hold of unless your On weekend
Do you wear uniform from home to your unit or do you get changed at your unit? Only asking as the rules state you’re not supposed to wear uniform outside in public when not on duty and I’m going through the process of joining
I know this might sound like a silly question, but do you need to pay for your kit? aside from the extra t shirts you mentioned about buying
No mate you dont
@@lewiswalshfitness2773 Thanks for the reply
The modern gear looks like crap. Bring back the 94 pattern DPM was much better.
Apologies if this is a daft question but do you accumulate all this stuff or do you get given it in one go at the start?
In one go mate
I'm thinking about the reserves, just wondering how long is the Training all together?, And how long do you stay at the Training barracks at one time?
There is 1 one week course and 2 two week courses
Reserves are lizards
@@KB-yu4oi until a reserve saves your life bro #prick
@@lewiswalshfitness2773 I've just applied for the Reserves - Is it a solid two weeks at base? I have a Kid but can always make arrangements if need be
@@drpepper9237 it’s a one week then a two week and then another two week course all done in your own time
Do u get parade uniform, no1‘s? For example when you pass out ?
Why use the cs95 style shirt for drill and not just use all of the new pcs style shirts?
Or why not use the 95 shirts for combat as there’s so stupid Velcro making noise
Hello am Steve from kenya please advise will really love to kit my self
Bergen not burgen
is it just personal choice to leave them in your locker? like are you aloud to take them home ?
Most off it you can take home
Are you allowed to pay for some of the kit like helmets and body armours and stuff so that’s it’s yours and you’re allowed to keep it
No
I'm a international student in UK. So I'm a commonwealth citizen. May I know can I join British Army? If I can, which role/position or regiment I can serve? Pls let me know. Thanks
What type of field boots are they
Can commonwealth citizens join as officer?
Yes mate I’m pretty sure you can
Do you scrim your lid after phase 2
Yes mate
Hi mate I wondered if you could answer my question. Does the bounty rise until the 5th year and once you’re at the 5th year does it then stop completely on year 6 April? Thanks
It continue after the 5th year but does go up anymore
At what point do you get issued this kit?
I got issued altbergs and iturri boots and I’m wondering which ones you recommend I use for field use
I got Akus and Iturris, was told the akus aren't good out in the field but everyone at mod 1 said they were the field boots as they aren't leather
i'm waiting for my kit but it's on a delay cus of covid
Nice one mate have fun and enjoy it
@@lewiswalshfitness2773 hi mate thanks, i subbed to you, i hope you get 1k this week, correct me if i'm wrong but you forgot to say that you get a beret and patches, my coporal said that i can bring my helmet home etc with me, ofc not body armour lol but my webbing as well
Do you have the option to bring webbing home? I know webbing can be quote person and people like to tinker with it etc?
Yeah you can do but if it gets lost or stolen you have to pay for it
@@lewiswalshfitness2773 thank you. I'm a rejoiner from RAF reg. I'm slightly anal with kit. I like it in top order and spends far to long on it 🤣🤣
@@dale1552 haha I’m the same mate. Good luck with it all
@@dale1552 I wanna join the RAF Regiment, when I'm 18 (6 months away). Hyped up for it. Im smashing the hell outta the gym trying to get as fit as possible
Do you get issued with best uniform or do you have to buy it?
Issues mate
@@lewiswalshfitness2773 nice, as a reserve can u volunteer for operations
I think I recall a form saying for any volunteers last time I was at a my sea cadet unit which is on a reserves base
@@jtribble8892 yes you can it’s all volunteering
@@lewiswalshfitness2773 thank you I'm thinking about joining as a mariner atm (165regiment RLC)
@@lewiswalshfitness2773 how long from joining up and passing your first part of training until you can volunteer for operation
Is there an age limit on reserves ,anyone may respond intelligently lol
As a reservist, do you get a pass out on completion of basic training ?
Yes mate you do
Is this kit the same as the one an infantryman would be issued mate ?
I am infantry
You forgot the hat?
Considering joining the reserves, I know each unit will be different, but whats Day to Day events like? Is it just PT every night?
Cheers!
No mate my unit splits half up into PT and the other half into lessons
Hey man, as reservists do we get free medical and dental still?
No yuu don't get it as a reservist unless your employed on FTRS or deployed as the NHS remains your primary care provider as a citizen
how many ofthe guys keep their boots as opposed to buying some better ones of theor own?
Most people buy new one
@@lewiswalshfitness2773 mate quickest reply ever - i appreciate that. Ive just got my assessment centre date (joining royal regiment of scotland)
and know my feet would suffer with most boots lol
@@mcredneck884 no problem mate I’m always by my phone 😂. Good luck with it. Always look after your feet mate it’s the most important thing
Just done mod1 and some recruits were rocking up without certain stuff (helmets, berets, wrong sized stuff cos they couldn't check prior to travelling, alsorts!)
How long does it take to get the kit? I’ve been waiting 1 month so far
It depends mate on the unit that you’re with and with this Covid around it’s probably been delayed
@@lewiswalshfitness2773 fair enough, just a bit boring at the moment since I can’t even do PT as I don’t have kit and can’t also because I haven’t done my alpha yet so literally can’t do anything but lessons lol
@@BeBassHD yeah mate but soon it will start getting better are you booked on to you or Alfie yet
@@lewiswalshfitness2773 yeah mate, should be beginning of April
@@BeBassHD when u sign up to reserves do u do basic at ur local unit?
I’m a full time truck driver and would like some difference in my life would it be worth it to join? Or has anyone got past experience to share
Sorry mate for the late reply I have a mate in my unit that does the same job as you and loves it
Hey can I serve in the reserve and be in another country
What do you mean like live somewhere else
I mean can I serve in the reserve and live in the Bahamas
@@waynestrachan3953 no mate you have to attend training on the weekends and weekdays
