  • Recruits at the Infantry Training Centre Catterick have to earn the right to wear their Regimental Headdress. But first they must pass the Drill Test and answer questions on their Regiments Battle Honours and history. Once successful they can then wear their Berets with pride

    My aging memory keeps telling me that it can't be Catterick if it isn't raining .... or snowing ... or windy ... or all those at the same time - Glad to see that some things don't change ,- nothing quite like a drill test in wind and rain !

    Been there, did the drill and got my beret many many moons ago, I have to say I loved drill, I know many don't; but watching a bunch of schoolboys becoming a cohesive unit over a few weeks is a joy ; and they feel pretty proud too. Happy to see them as drenched as I was in Catterick...two things never change..Lance Corporals and the weather. I made it to Major so had my revenge haha

    Swapping your trogg hat for your beret and cap badge 1st big proud moment. Thought the Fusilier Sergeant was well turned out and the drill was of a good standard and the recruits looked sharpe. Took me back to 78 @ strensall York.

    Well done lads. Quick question - Why are they in MTP? The drill test used to always be in barrack dress.

    • @alanurwin7619
      @alanurwin7619  5 лет назад +3

      The recruits aren't issued with Barrack dress anymore. NCOs get issued it at Battalion, to wear when on Duty

      Maybe the case in caterick. At pirbright you do your drill test in barrack and you don't call timings either

    F,ing Helles, I passed off on that square in 74.... my old 3 troop lines looked over that square.... they are really keen on changing step with the new system, not the old one! And they still don't teach Guards drill.

      At the Drill Test now the recruits get their Regimental Stable Belt and Flashes. It used to be after the March and Shoot, but under CIC18 it changed

      3D time I know that's the question why are they being taught something which they have to pass which they'll never use or why aren't all the made to do rifle drill and pass it after all it is very very very simple

    Why are riflemen doing heavy infantry drill ??????

    • @alanurwin7619
      @alanurwin7619  3 года назад +1

      It was due to the recruit intake numbers at the time being low. Not enough to make a full Rifles Platoon so they had to be intergraded with other Cap badges, but with a Rifles Section Commander as their instructor still. Once they arrived at their Battalion they would conduct an induction phase which included Light Drill Instruction

      Unfit to instruct drill, sinks his arse when halting, trousers don't fit and his salute hi 3 inches off his head. 2 medals? I would not like to see his tactics lessons.

  • @horsebattery9243
    @horsebattery9243 2 года назад

    Freeze frame at 0:38 and they show themselves to be a right shambles. The right hands are everywhere from waist to ear level. Surely one of the aims of drill is working in unison. Call me an old hippie but there's no sense of them working together. They look like they just met each other moments before the parade and there's no sense of them being a squad.

    • @horsebattery9243
      @horsebattery9243 2 года назад

      0:43 and 0:50 they are executing individual versions of the mark time. Some legs at right angles some with foot back at 45 degrees.

    • @horsebattery9243
      @horsebattery9243 2 года назад

      2:05 man at left end of front rank. Is he injured? Why is he tilting his head back like that? Did he miss some of the training?
