Those weather proof matches have got the nickname fireproof matches in my friend circle
They are so annoying but if you put the striker on the hard edge of your boot and strike it then it should be easier to get going.
Just buy a lighter or wind proof lighter
@Kieron ZX it depends on who you have if I'm honest corporal wise but yes I think you're mate my advise is get to get 2 lighters put them together each facing each other then tie them together with some tape, but I don't think you will need it for your assessment tho that's just medicals and fitness more for basic training ie intro ex1 and every exercise after that. Good luck tho what regiment do you want to join?
@@kz023how’d you get on bro? I’m in the application process right now.
@@ClubsOGhow’s the application going? Currently doing same
I am from Jamaica. I have Jamaican relatives in the British army and the way they talks about the army It's second to none. I have applied. Just awaiting words regarding the commonwealth intake so my application can be process. Until then I'm busy fabricating granite countertops, operating forklifts and keeping fit... Carry on Lads be the best👍
Odaine Roberts I've known a load of people in the British armed forces from the West Indies! Glad that you guys are still with us! And that you still look to Britain as friends! Your always welcome here anyway! We love having people who love the nation and it's amazing that foreigners are willing to fight for it as well! I hope you get in, it's a lot easier now that the restrictions to commonwealth citizens have been dropped. What's the opinion of the Brits in Jamaica? I've always heard it very positive anyway! I even heard that a lot regret independence? Any truth to that? I've always wanted to go, it's seems like an amazing place with an amazing culture!
@@keithwatson1384 I work for a lot of Britain's and returning residents. They love it here the sunshine, beaches the food and the culture you name it. Some even say that the houses that they have build here they could never afford it in the UK. Keith Watson if it's your dream to visit just go straight for it. Some of us work very hard to be where we are right now, and at the end of life only two things matters, how well we have lived and how well we have loved.
Where did you apply as a common wealth resident
@Dogs Bollocks shut up he can join where he wants you idiot
@Dogs BollocksIf hes willing to defend the country hes more than welcome to come, alot of brits wouldnt even serve if WW3 started.
This video is a true version of the peace in camp between all races and people from across the globe willing to fight for the British army. I actually love this shit, it's what the British army is all about it's good to see everyone smiling.
Jog on
@@alexhoult7419 keep on jogging Alex hoult
Yes that's how it should be! What I would love to see is one of these (black) men become the FIRST British Army RSM in history....guess i'll have to wait for couple more decades to see that though!
all the commonwealth boys are great mate, always built to shit too😂 it’s a family.
@@lukestroud9630 the reason being, the Man or Woman at the side of you, regardless of Ethnicity.
As always ....a GREAT VIDEO.... im applying through the commonwealth (vincy)....waiting for an asseament date .... the feedback from from all these lads especially the lucians was not only imformative but gratifying to see someone from my geographic location in training!
I'm loving these videos Fab, researching for my lad who is interested in joining. I went through Pirbright in 1988. A lot has changed but it seems the core values still exist . I recognise a lot of the run routes. My accommodation and the sand hill is gone but the ghosts live on.
i should be joining in September its been a hell of a fight for me to get in but as off yesterday im asthma free
Bailey Hammond same, are you going to Harrogate?
@@kiangeorge8593 yeah im waiting to find out my assessment day
Mate good luck I done 24 years! What a life 👌
Bailey Hammond nice bro
MrBeerjim thank you sir
Love these vids dude. You are doing more for recruitment than most recruitment videos!!
Result:
Pull Ups
Ab Workouts
Running
Ab Workout
Ab Workout
more of everything...
Really nice perspective and great questions. Thank you! I am currently training as I approach my initial fitness test. So this was good to watch 👌
If this was Catterick they'd let you mong it and get comfy for 5 minutes like these lads then suddenly have you doing best effort 2 miler with bergen on
Yeah maybe crap hat side
Chips beans yous paras and guards are poofs
Crap hat lol do same training you muppet
Guards do extra drill paras climb jump out planes yous are all bent bastards.
@@scotsman8887 yeah thats really not true is it? Paras do harder phys get constant thrashings have our morale sucked out to get you there.have miles higher standards on everything. Why do only small anounts pass out compared to the regular infantry. Every single bloke who leaves para depot to go the other side say its ridiculously easy. Not the same at all
Finished my phase 1 in Winchester recently. It's interesting to watch these videos and see where Pirbright differs and also where its the same. Good luck on the rest of your training lads.
Your 4 years are up, just wondering how you found it and if you’ve decided to keep going?
@@charliew6024 got med discharged couple of months ago unfortunately, did me back in
@@JackyP213 fuck mate that’s unfortunate to hear, if you haven’t recovered yet, I hope you do very soon
Thank you so much for these videos! I've been so worried about what I'll be doing once I start my phase one. This is informational and awsome keep it up !
Thanks for watching, glad the videos took away your anxiety. Best of luck!
Great job and good videos Fabzy!! Keep them coming
I love the preparation question, it’s a actually really helpful
Hey, great to see the country is in good hands. Good job lads.
Thanks you man , i learn more from you than anywhere else
Appreciate it!
Great vid and great insight. Can’t wait to do it all again 👌
@fabziy I’ll should be there 23rd June
Organic! So sorry I missed the live chat - hope to catch you next time Sgt
keep up the good work and amazing content.
Big ups Fabziy, hope i see you next week :)
bula vinaka to my Fijian brothers.all the best in your military career.give your best in everything you do your also representing your family and your country.

loloma from all the Fijian citizens back at home
Rocky Valentine Mana, I’m not even Fijian, but your words make me feel proud and inspired! Thank you for leaving such positive vibes and wise words on my channel! One love.👊🏿
In the Scoff Hall, there was a Fuji who won the V.C. He fought to the end and saved many Lives.
Big respect to all who take the Queen's shilling! One Family!
Thank you for the video.
Thank you for uploading this one. I'm waiting to move on to phase one training in a couple months now and this video has been extremely helpful in knowing how to prepare.
Thank you, hearing things like this really motivates me to do more. Good luck!
This is really helpful... My assessment is this month and I'm looking forward to it.. Great content
Good luck! Never Give Up!
Bula Akariva Seruvatu ❣️❣️

ragandoil it’s *Fiji
Hey, what music did you use for the intro??? Btw I'm thinking of joining the army and I've been watching vids to see if I reckon I could hack it n this came up haha, subbed straight away, keep it up, it helps alot👊
Thanks Fabziy Our grandson is on his second week & is loving it so we both found this interesting. Passing the training must be an equivalent to getting a degree.
Very cool. The new Firedragon are really great. They leave no residue on the container.
Some stinking berets on show.
13:45 - WTF..?
Adam Woodford 😂😂😂
Charlotte Ballard Well aren’t you a hero.
Adam Woodford REMFS the lot of them.
The Dahlia like nobody here wasn’t a REMF on the first week of basic their basically still fucking Civi’s don’t act like you where Rigid on Day 1
Absolute 🦎 lizard. Someone help him out
Wish my training team took videos like this! I’m in week 6, really enjoying it so far
Gee Rose which Tp are you? I’ll have a look on the training program to see what’s lesson on and I’ll do a short vlog of you guys. Not long to go 8week 💪🏿
Good Luck to you Brother! Respect!👊
Can't wait to try out, it definitely does look good, though admittedly getting any training in before is hard since with the pandemic, I work overtime in a physically-demanding job. Demanding enough to use up any energy but not enough to get fitter. It's hard to find free HIIT training apps/workouts online too that are proper but I'll still get there. Also I wonder how much parade there is done (or marching), because I used to love doing that in police cadets xD
Lmao. “Join up, do it”
Sounds utterly convincing.
Looks like a fucking blast, can't wait!!!
That running track looks nice never had that when I was there it was gettin all dug out for it
S T I R L I N G!!!! Home of the Argylls' (or at least their regimental museum now) The Argylls' were the original "thin red line" - and a great bunch to serve with back in the day.
Good luck to you all, i joined in 1983 and best thing i ever did.
MAN UP..IVE SERVED IN THE DESERT ..JUNGLE ..ARCTIC..N.IRELAND..IRAQ..4 YEAR'S BAOR..IN SUPPORT ON ATTACHMENT TO 1 ..AND 3PARA..STAFFORDSHIRE REG..SDGUARDSs 45 CMDO ROYAL MARINES..FUCKIN HELL DONT MOAN AND MINCE ABOUT.
The Kings are coming over the hill boys, they all laugh at us, they all scuff at us and every base we ever went to, everything was locked away! Pmsl.
@@littlepete6849 you okay?
@little pete my man Rambo
Theyre saying its great but they havnt even been on exercise freezing cold, wanting to die
Rhys Young have you been on any exercise ???
Ethan Pilling na mate im a cadet
@@Youngy15 😂😂😂
Just got off attack 1, jesus christ it was bogging.
The feeling afterwards is the reward itself, it gives you confidence and you feel like you could do anything, especially after the super heavy workout you were unfamiliar with
Your videos are super helpful
Great content....thanks for the little insight into army life
What a coincidence the guy talking about doing pull ups, he was on my course up in Glencourse back in October last year. That’s mad I recognised his face straight away 😁
I "Passed Out" in A.T.R. Glencourse, in Phase 1. Before moving on to I.T.B. Strensil, as Phase 2. Infantry. That was in 93. Then Signals and many doors open to further your skills. I took to it like a duck to water.
I am a qualified H.G.V. Professional Driver and hold a Law Degree with (Hons). I can "Touch Type" 47 Wpm. I hold an Undergraduate Degree in German and I can obviously speak the Launguage with a Southern Dialect. I can also comunicate in French, Spanich, Russian and Pashtu. I am Culturally Aware one may say. A also posses naturally, Mental Stamina like a Duracell Battry, allways that little further.
Nevertheles, I am Mentally and Physically scared through Service. I have one Friend left, who I check on nearly everyday and I Can't even find employment!? But hay, Honking helps and this Machine will never stop. That was the biggest asset the Army ever helped me develop. The rest, the Army Gave me!
All's I know is War. I thrive in demanding and harsh environments. Living off the land, using nature as a friend. Watching the Wild Life and awareness of local culture to the population in which one would Operate in, has allways paid dividends. I'm still here. Just one negative is a thought, that may be counteracting with a positive.
I understand my Place in Life. Only break glass in time of War. We adapt and overcome the Civilian adversity, but a Soldier will always be a Soldier. We know we are different than most of the population. We wait as a Grey Cloud, always ready to Serve Queen and Country...this is all I've ever known. The only enemy is Time itself. The more time you use, the lonely we become.
No one beats the "Clock" which is frustrating, but hay, we came alone, but we go out as part of a larger Family. It's good to know that when that Dark Side comes calling, the "Assosiation" will not allow me to leave alone. I will be carried by the Family I earnt my place to be amongst. I feel proud of that. We are never alone...but I miss my Friends who were beside me...memories are all that is captured in the end, that no one else will ever experience, other than those who were at your side. I have a "Cabby" with old age. I am glad I belong to something Special that only few complete, for the benefit of those we keep safe.
@@stevenhenry7862 Glencorse.
My son was at Pirbright when this was filmed, he loved it there
nice vid mate very interesting to see how it done these days did my training in 1981 lol how things have changed for the better i think
Steven Kohut Thank you! I bet they will be enjoying watching themselves couple years down the line 😁 I wish we had our training days recorded and not solely in our memories 👍🏽 Thanks for your service, Sir.
I've got some great advice for new recruits: smile at your instructor when he's shouting at you, they really like that.
I hope you feel better soon.
Have good day
Ah the we forest beside the football pitch. What a chilled night that was...
Love to see you learning about other countrys army's
Keep positive everyone its a great life, i did 15 years, Great videos FabZiy keep them coming
BenGunns Well said! Thank you for watching 👍🏽
BenGunns Am from Ghana a commonwealth country any assistant to join plssss
Can’t wait to reapply in September. 🤟
Anyone else got there assessment day in October? Looking forward for this. Hopefully in training by the end of the year!
September 15th, looking forward to starting!! :D
You in for a treat! 😂😂😂😂😂
Tommy Martin how is it?
Forward as one!!
darn that camping bit looks cosy. I'm someone who can even just sleep on the hard floor if I need to nowadays and idk what the guy was saying about his sausage casserole, looked pretty tasty and much better than what I can cook xD
It's amazing to see how British army basic training is nowadays it just looks so easy I wish I was younger now. I done my basic training at Catterick garrison around 2002 and it was absolute hell on earth. I watch these videos nowadays and it just looks so easy and friendly and a great positive environment and great training staff and PTIs. Scary how times change but for the better it appears
Also there kit looks so mutch better ngl
Depot is still nails from what I've heard
@@PeterParker-hj2ff Catterick is still shit, agreed
Brilliant video. Great to see and hear these young lads from all over the world and the UK. The army is in good hands!
Be the Best !
Banging video ma man👍👍
4 days....lol... see what the interviews are like after a 2-3 week exercise and it hasn't stopped pissing down the whole time. FFS mould those berets. You look like the Ugandan Mafia...
The actual "exercise" was just an overnight stay in the woods.. wasn't even 4 days lol
@@pete3816 cool bro
😂😂😂
the toughest part was probably getting used to shitting in the woods. I hated that.
@Ben Potter shit does seem difficult to squeeze out with someone staring at you.
Omg omg omg I want more of these! that was soooo cool to have an insight of what it’s like during training, even though I’m currently joining the Royal Navy; I love learning about the army! I’ve watched “paras men of war” and “royal marines school” I love watching those types of videos and I loved this video just as much !
music Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and dStY tuned for more 👍🏾
Fabziy hopefully I’ll be at Pirbright in 2 or 3 years after I complete military preparation college, watching these videos are making me want to join now but because of coronavirus I don’t want to risk it
Amazing video..
Love the videos! Will you do a video on the half way parade and the preparation behind it?
Thank you! Potentially, stay tuned 👍
I wonder if they'll tell you it's great on a winter night at Stanta on a 7 day field exercise, after a 36 hour operation while just been told to go on stag at like 4am :')
(in reality as much as you hate those moments, you still love the whole experience)
Tip for the matches. Fold the striker length ways over the match, pinch it down, then sharply pull the match out.
I did pribright in early 1998 it was full of gaurds training staff and was a beasting ,This is like a camping trip for corbynites by the look of it
Those ⛺ tents ! Might shield you from falling pine 🌲 cones.
Recruits have good attitude.
USA teens need this. Brits seem to plan better. Good luck guys.
Those two guys at 2:12 sound like Fijians. Awesome video. Good luck to you all.
They are Fijians :)
I knew it was gonna be a good day!
Always
Regarding with the fitness, I recommend using kettlebells as part of your fitness routine!
Have been wanting to join since i was 6, i tried joining in the AFC but due to uncontrollable circumstances i wasnt able to join, have been using quarantine to do 5 workouts a day and started doing as much running as i can. Hoping to join before the year is up or by the start of next year
Good video, but bit concerned as a Day 4 recruit knows nothing about what the army will or wont teach him or anyone about fitness - Lad who said "Keep adding more" was on point
Some instructor's in training ask for you to hand over your plastic spork that's In your ration pack. They did it with me when I was in training years ago.
Get in there! Join up, you'll never regret it. I did 9 years in the Coldstream Guards. Best time of my life.... always regret leaving.
Good to see recruits still coming from the commonwealth Fiji St Lucia etc
@Fabziy,
Murray (@JR-MURRAY) say to tell you he send me and he wasn't wrong, these are great videos bro. now i am hooked.
nice video,will like to join the army one day
Ah these young folk will never enjoy the experience of trying to open a tin of bacon grill in subzero temperatures with frozen fingers and a tiny tin opener that only worked when it could be arsed. Good to see scoff has improved and made more convenient for the troops. Love these vlogs 👍 Swift and Bold.
dont forget the possessed cheese and the pilchards in the 10 man packs
Hey man. Cheers for making these vids, they're extremely beneficial for us guys heading into phase 1. I see your Army commando badge, a major aspiration for me is to join 24 commando. I'm wondering at which point in training is it best to make it known your desires to be considered for the regiment? Any advice on preparing for the all arms commando course would be amazing, I have around 3 months until my intake and I want to focus my prep as best I can. Thanks
Thanks! I'd suggest to focus on the 14 weeks of Phase 1 Basic Training, and when you in Phase 2 you can voice your desire to the CoC.
@@Fabziy I remember asking this, first day in 24 cdo after easter leave!
I joined up 40 years ago, best time of my life, even though there were many early days of wondering to myself WTF have I let myself in for. Times have changed hell of a lot but respect to anyone who joins up these days. Only thing I'd say was really hard when I came out was having to deal with 'Civvy' mentality, totally different than what I'd became used to.
I'm the same Brother. The Government don't or have any care after a Soldier leaves. Standing the Line, that most Politions wouldn't even have the Kahoonies to stand at, in the name of sacrifice. They switch us on, but dont switch us off.
For those who have placed their selves in an unselfish position, placing the most valuable assest in the Line, should NOT have to pay any Taxes, as fare as I am concerned.
Steven Henry taxest pay for national health, fire and police services as well as a bunch of other things. Everyone who lives with and uses the services provided by the government should pay tax
@@PorWik what if any, recognition would you suggest?
@@stevenhenry7862 I reckon parades show soldiers off enough and remember that most soldiers join the army because either they want to fight or because they have no other choice. Theres no real easy way except for things like veterans day or things like that
@@PorWik If WE wouldn't have Veterans wishing to step up to the plate, there would have been no Empire, there would have been no today. Says a lit.
I personally feel Veterans are worth a lot more. I also feel that we could learn a lot from how the America treats their Veterans.
Do you by any chance you work for the Government?
that yout man didn't even have to say where he was from. know a lucian anywhere. big up my yout!
Keep smiling, keep working, keep moving, keep trying, keep on until the job is done! No room for quitters and babies, just get on with it! Above all keep your sense of humour. 1979 to 2003 British Army!
Good Advice! 👍
Recommended the army after 4 days 😂😂😂
you can dis the ration packs all you want, but the sausage casserole is kfn amazing
Im buzzong to start my training. 21st January 💪
And this children is why I’m going in the paras with people who are able 👍🏼🤣 nah all jokes aside well done to these lads they’ll be hardened soldiers soon of one of the best army’s in the world well done lads 🇬🇧
I start my training next month, I can't wait. I can only do 2 press ups but I am only joining the RLC so should be ok.
"Been here a week....had our first pt setion today, it was a bit tough"....my how times have changed lol...these lot all seen pretty happy though, my first week in the guards back in the 90s was brutal lol
Do the same video of a winter intake at catterick, on day 5 of an exercise on a saturday night in some shit harbour
We did this in the Boy Scouts. Main difference was that our food wasn’t pre prepared boil in the bag. We had to do proper cooking. We did a lot more activities as well.
🙂
Day 4 and they all get to sit around chatting without staff constantly chewing them?! They all seem to be in pretty good spirits for day 4.
Lol it’s embarrassing mate
The gopping berets just made the video for me
Training has got a hell of a lot easier since I was in
The only bloke we needed subtitles for,,,,,,,,, a jock.
Does everyone start off with the General Service Corps cap badge and when did it restart, was it with the big changes and amalgamations across the regiments etc.
May be you should make similar videos of catterick
Damn! seeing a fellow Saint Lucian 3:42 & 9:08 Just gave me chills. Looking forward enlisting 2020
I'm planning on submitting an application soon working on getting to London and staying for a few months atm how's it going for You? You unlisted yet?
cant wait to be in the army
In 1978 I spent 22 weeks at pirbright all 22 weeks were Hell i spent 6 years in the Coldstream guards and when I see what it's like today it makes me angry it's more like a holiday camp.
Those 'waterproof matches' or whatever never work
Also, mega tip: snort the screech
not good advice. i snorted some screech and found myself sucking off a badger 3 clicks North East.
That's some great advice
Nah eat the screech with your spoon
Screech? What the fuck is that?
@@cjtn10 drinks powders
Different in catterick haha, these lot look so happy. Very laid back, completely opposite I’m infantry haha
Mate I agree ! REMFS for you
