This isn't exactly a minefield in civilian life, but it's on the edge of 'unacceptable behaviour' to suggest to someone that they're not properly fitted, when you wouldn't hesitate to suggest that someone's on the wrong size bicycle or using an axe or shovel with the wrong length handle, and risking injury or low performance as a result. Part of the cause of this is the shift earlier in age of puberty in developed countries, and that's in part due to lower activity levels - a circular problem. It's great that the armed forces are dealing with this openly and directly, but we should be doing a better job of this as parents, families, and communities.
@JelMain marks and sparks were the only shop I ever heard of offering 'consultations'. My household's people who need bras went to see the M&S 'bra lady' once but were painfully conscious of never hearing of anyone else who ever went. It's not unusual to hear of people being carefully measured in great detail for bicycle or running shoe fit?
@@trs4u Isn’t this personal responsibility? Half the population have breasts. As a Veteran, those interviewed don’t look as if PT is top of their list. If they can’t buy a bra, why should we trust them with our defence?

"At Tidworth Garrison, women and men are being educated about the benefits of a well-fitted sports bra" Why are men being educated about bras? What the hell happened to our military, once the best in the world and now a humiliating joke.
PTIs. They're the closest and most aware of any issues trainees have, so a quiet word, maybe through a female NCO, can improve their quality of life as a whole, not to mention the contribution they're making to the unit.
this is a myopic, redundant way of thinking. Education has to happen across the force to make the environment better for all personnel. We are at our best when we understand each others capabilities, strengths and issues. Not when we disregard the problems of others.
Is this a joke ? Worlds is on the brink of war we have no enough men weapons tanks or aircraft to sustain a fight longer than 6 months and the british army is talking about sports bras. No wonder the world laughs at us now what a joke.
It's a psy op to demoralise us so we give in without a fight. They are at the 11th hour and have almost completely taken over the UK. Optics like this are designed to be the final nail in the coffin for the men of the nation. Just do what I'm doing. Leave in 2025.
@@lachlanchester8142 It was never normal, healthy attractive or clever to include pictographs in the middle of sentences as an adult. I know it became normal 15 years ago, but some of us are older than 15 and cringe at it.
Good grief.... Is this really all that there is for the British Armed Forces to talk about with all that there is going on in the world???? Women have to be told to get the right size bra???
What a joke, are you doing knickers next? What temperature do you wash them at? How often should they be changed and how many are supplied per person? You should refer them to relevant shops not pander to fashion statement, what about those who don't wear bra's?
Not a joke at all - I work in a Ph 1 establishment and a lot of acts show up without sports bras or with ill fitting ones. They are fitted and provided 2 (I believe) during training and then the new roll out has pushed through where we are able to claim back up to £50 per year on sports bras. The navy and raf already have this implemented. Most people with breasts are going to need a sports bra for high intensity activity... why not have an allowance for this!!
the fact you think it's pandering shows how little you know about our personnel and how to keep them on top of their game. Maybe you'd do well to watch the video and educate yourself. In future, If you have nothing of value to add then maybe keep your thoughts to yourself.
OMG is that what our taxpayers money is going on!!!!! Just go to a reputable shop and buy. As a woman veteran I am appalled. Also doing PT with hair down can lead to a woman can be scalped if it is caught in the equipment.
I always thought that a female’s hair was supposed to be put up in to a bun and most of the hair under the beret and helmet not just hanging down about everywhere. I know when I was in I never saw any female personnel with hair hanging out everywhere it was in a bun.
@ They have changed the regulations for hair. This is to become more inclusive and attract recruitment. It’s so dangerous. A close friend is a RM PTI and to enter his gym hair has to be tied up.

@ yes they do but I have seen a video that they are now changing respirators or making them so that they can be worn with beards or no beards. Problem is that cost lots of money that could be well spent somewhere else in our Military in my opinion, just make Military personnel shave like we have been doing for hundreds of years plus we look more smarter with clean shaven, beards look so scruffy, yes fair enough there are certain times beards could be good to have like on Operations in the Middle East or very cold climate but when not and at home it should be in my opinion be clean shaven. What it is really down to is not to offend certain religious personnel in our Forces, that’s all it really down to sorry to say. It makes our Forces look scruffy.
