    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.

    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

    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.

      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.

    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.

    • @jakealcock5905
      @jakealcock5905 День назад +1

      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.

    • @wilksta156
      @wilksta156 День назад +2

      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

      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.

      @@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.
