The bit about the Queen was great. A stark reminder of how amazing our Queen was!
Well done ladies! 👏👏👏
So proud of our military.
Aaahhh!...... Barossa Common - who can forget the cold wet nights huddled at the bottom of a sandy/stony trench (which took hours to dig!), nervously awaiting the 'enemy' attacks which denied you any form of sleep. In addition to the 'enemy' causing you grief, the constant silent patrolling of the Directing Staff (DS) around the trenches - eager to catch weary Cadets 'gonking on stag' (falling asleep whilst on sentry duty), helped add to the misery. But we loved it really, and when Endex was called, the prospect of a hot shower and dry clothes helped to restore morale.
@@stuarthunter1657 I thought I was reading a paragraph from sven hessel !!
Made bearable by a hot brew.
I understand the problems women were experiencing prior to this but it feels like they’ve gone from one spotlight to another, surely just integrating them like they do their private soldiers who’re women would’ve gone better
Exactly that. This isn't about equality, it's about getting attention for doing things that men and women have done for years.
It's not just the training they endure...
Give me a bucket... lol

8:13 the issue with this is that, with respect, all those issues are still there. 2019 was only five years ago.
Think it would be better if the ladies wore trousers especially for marching.
I enjoyed this series and hope to hear about how these OCs get on in their army careers. Great photography, cracking drone shot of cadets going up the steps at the end. Bravo.
2km in 11 min 30? That's 13 min 48 for the old bft run, which females had 12 min 30 to do, males had 10 min 30 in 90s
Be wary of those hard bitten instructors ladies. Look to the Internet if you doubt what I mean. 19 relationships with instructors in a single cohort as recently as 2019? In the private sector that would be career-ending and put a training center in special measures... it's management too
A 40kg mid thigh pull, seriously? What’s even the point? That’s laughably easy. A rack pull is one of the most favoured ego lifts in the gym because you can do so much weight on it.
Thank you!
Would they pass the commando course ..?.
Yes, lots of woman have, and lots of men have failed the commando course too
@@lachlanchester8142 miss information...how many exactly is lots ?
1.We talking all arms commando course ?
2.We talking 32 weeks at ctcrm recruitment training.
The answer to number 2 is non.......so don't say lots
The answer to number 1 is 4-6 from the information available and that's a generous estimate.
So from the literally thousands that try over a year and a half we have non as royal marines and a very very very small% for thr AACC.
So it's not lots
@@s.wvazim6517 okay, it’s not lots, but my point was more that this guy is insinuating they can’t when they clearly can, and that it’s not down to gender since plenty of men try and don’t succeed
I do believe that’s a volunteer thing, so they don’t have to and neither do the men.
Majority of the people in this series (men and women) would fail CTCRM. However, I can say with 99% confidence that all these women would fail CTCRM.
🇬🇧 From Boudica
To General Dame Sharon Nesmith...
Women are and always have been powerful daughters of Mother Nature herself...
Excellent effort! 💪🏼🍻
Isn’t Sharon Nesmith the one who said that the army was “too hierarchal”? 😂
❤
Did that bloke REALLY mention ‘masculine toxicity’? 🤦♂️
Toxic masculinity exists (not to be confused with masculinity, which is acceptable), as is clearly obvious by the awful misogyny on display on any BFBS clip featuring women.
West Point started integrating women in 1976. Ditto for the USAF Academy. Annapolis started admitting women in 1980. The UK military is about 45 years behind the times. 😂
So? Who cares about what the yanks do?
@@Вивсівідстій Thank god !!
Home? This completely ignores Woowlich and even Mons...
What woke piece of propaganda has forces news brought to me today?
You don't have to watch it, genius. Just keep scrolling if it doesn't interest you.
Square bashing. Another pointless and expensive part of army training. Serves no practical purpose whatsoever. And please no lies about it installing discipline.
Ever served?
Facts don't support the premise of this series. The athletic record books clearly show men are stronger and fitter than woman. (USA Track and Field.) In order to commission 30% women into the officer corps standards have been lowered. Some, erroneously say, brought up to date. Instead of strong males being commissioned; the standard allows weaker males to pass out.
For example. The sinking of the Atlantic Conveyor in 1982 was a major set back for the British forces on the Falkland Isles. However, we were able to prevail because the forces adapted and carried very heavy packs, in adverse conditions, over a very long distance. I cannot imagine this lot doing the same.
The soldiers in the Falklands were mostly Royal Marines and Paratroopers if I'm not mistaken? meaning they are a league above the very best candidates in this course.
2km in 11:30 is not fast. The standards were relaxed not too long ago from 2.4km in 10:30 😅. The difference in this is night and day.
Years back, at some units, if you came in over 10 mins even though it was a pass you'd be considered slow and unfit.
2.4km in 10:30 is trained soldier, not recruits, this is a core assessment that they all have to pass irrespective of gender. Trust me, to get OUT of Sandhurst they need to be better than the standard BFT/PFT/PFA score
It was the same in my day when I did basic training, and that was the 80's when we did it in boots and denims, its not easier now, its just different, so comparing like so is like ....night and day
2km in 11:15 is mainstream. Trainees get an extra 15 secs. The mainstream standards have been severely eroded too.@@wilksta156
@@wilksta156 I went through apprentice college 1997, the bft was 2.4 km - male recruits had 10.30, women 12.30; basic selection added a minute on, but that's now the described timeline for week 11
Running for 2km at 5.45/km pace is an absolute joke. I’m no athlete, but I do my local Parkrun (5k) in 21 minutes.
Women in the trenches fighting toe to toe, gutter fighting.. ...I dont think so.....God help us !!
Well, they are doing it in Ukraine and Russian women during WW2 fought with the men. Some of the Russian women were talented snipers and put the fear of God in the Germans. Also, Kurdish women fought hard against ISIS in Iraq, so I don't think your argument holds much water.
why don’t you sign up then?
@@adipuppi I might have - you just can't know can you?
@@keithlillis7962 Hi, thank you for your response. How about women in the IDF & not forgetting those women in the north vietnamese army, the list goes on. Yes women made better snipers than their male counterparts in ww2 russian army all correct !the ukrainian army also have disabled people in their ranks. I dont recall any recorded incidents of how females have fared against any bayonet or hand to hand fighting against an enemy. Unfortunately society has been passified into not speaking the truth for fear of ridicule, women are a vital attribute to any army but fighting in a infantry is a step to far. The usmc have done many trials so has the british army & the IDF to determine if women could be integrated into the infantry, unfortunately the women ( who were already fully trained ) failed to keep up with the men couldnt carry the weight on long distance marches & didnt posses the level of agressiveness neaded. In short they presented a liability to other members of their unit. Of course this will never be accepted, the debate goes on.
@@adipuppi I did !! I served in the guards.
The failure of General Staff starts at RMAS.
Hopefully we are not going to war in the near future, that would obviously end disastrously with a DEI army...
And the worst part is, people would die to protect ignorant people like you.
Can you at least volunteer to serve yourself, so that at least one casualty won't be a loss to society?
What a joke 😂
My god the short hair one thinks she needs other women around. She is doomed
Given the awful sexual assault and harassment rates in the armed forces inflicted overwhelmingly by men on women, she's not wrong for wanting some extra female company.
This is Great.suits him🫡
