British Army: my role & why i joined 

"I'm going to be a lawyer, a doctor AND a soldier". Wish I had a third of your drive.

I wish you the very best while you serve your country. Stay safe out there.

Good video, it sounds like you have thought out your future well. I joined as an apprentice when I was 16 and enjoyed my 10 years as a technician. I'm sure that you will enjoy your service even more. Have aa good safelife.

You do what is best for you, Thank you for your Service! A lot different from my time!

Nice project, I hope you will success. Bests regards from Belgium :)

Chelsie - amazing journey over the last 3+ years. Can you do a video about the training that is specific for Army Medics. Cheers. Good luck and I hope that the fitness training is going well - it looks as if it is! Vivien 🌷🌷🌷

Sounds like an excellent plan. :)

I've been in the Army 10 years. I regret not going to university almost every day.

I did a training exercise with the British Army when I was in the us army it was a great experience I liked training with them.

That's great! I am in process of applying for the British army as well.

Dunno how I ended up here, but really interesting video!! :]

Hi Chelsea I was in the RAMC from 1987 till till 2002 I was in the reserve as well better promotion prospects I was the person about when you do a workout more so a before a run and after Slap your thighs to stop the lactic acid When I was a medic I also did a massage course as well So just try the thigh slapping Or Google about it. What I do is do about 6 slaps on each part of the thigh repeat 3 times not too hard just to circulate the blood flow try do video of it see what you think

You ruled us more than 300 years till 1947. I am from India. You ruled almost parts of the world. How it is possible

Brave girl,, lots of love from India

Welcome to the club. Having been a civilian and military medic for years, I can tell you, that you will find the comradery in both camps very similar. I would suggest, if you do not wish to be a doctor, becoming a Para Medic, is the next best thing. Two years study, "Blue Light" for a number of months, and then ground or air medic after that... The great thing is, the Army will give you this training for free, and by then you will understand the rank and ability structure within the military.. I was regular army first, then T.A., funny thing is, I was on more opps and the odd war with the T.A. than with the regs. This is due to one, unit call up, two, being stupid enough to volunteer for attachment for opps with the regs... Advance parties, medical support, personnel requirements. etc. One good thing, in the last 30 years, gender has not been an issue when it comes to deployment. When I was a medic for an infantry unit back in the nineties, female medics and staff were right along side the blokes, covering the same ground and the mud. I don't know how "keen" you are to do that yet.. However, well done and continue your videos, I'm sure you are inspiring many.

I started in the TA in 1994 completing the combat infantrymans course, i then joined the regular army, left in 2012 and re joined the reserve 2014.... My advice would be, if you have a great career in civilian life, which you sound like you have, stay in civilain life with a great career and just dip into the military like a hobby. The regular army will suck the life out of you , and if you are not careful time flies and you don't have time for anything else.... You sound like civilain life is sorted, stick to the reserves, all up apart from a couple years out reserve and regular a total of 20 plus years now, I wiosh I have stayed TA and got a good civilian job and just dipped in and out

Most of the Army are Council Kids who join for a job/future. Some see it all out and they are the WO’s an LE Officers. These are the backbone of the military. Officers come and go - most leave as Capt. Good luck young lady but you are unlikely to have a hard time on operations as they are your choice. The lads do not have it.

Did you have to wait to get your role as a medic, if so how long did you wait? I’ve recently had my interview and was told that I’d be on the waiting list for years and to reconsider another regiment.

chelsie, im your new subscriber..

My option and experiences but army cadets is not a good reflection on what army is actually like the behaviour of some of the cadets would put many off of it the army knowledge was great and it was fun but some kids were so disrespectful

Nice video, what exactly now is your role in army without med? And I'm also planning to join from India, and I'm really not good in maths and science so can I have good options specially in officers role (not basically only officers but mainly, soldiers or any other options too). I've just done my grad in BA.

I can get into the accounting or finance field in the UK military ? It would be great if u could reply to my comment!

What’s the different between a CMT and a doctor? I originally thought you had to have a medicine degree to join as a CMT any info on this would be great x

You look genuinely like Kate Winslet, haven't you heard so much from people?

The last video that I saw of yours you wanted to be a lawyer what happened?

kese 😍 ho plz comment

My great-grandfather served in WWII in British Indian army, he was in Engineering Corps, posted in Mideast.

Are yo not doing medicine now?

Вот смотрю это твёрдое и решительное выступление этой особы (то есть, В ПЕРВУЮ очередь - СМОТРЮ, и только во-вторую очередь слушаю, - ибо моего знания английского не хватает для того, чтобы во всех подробностях и деталях понять её речь изобилующую иронией) и вижу - со всей для меня очевидностью, - что эта особа ещё не определилась с самым главным для неё выбором: с выбором мужа. Почему мне так думается? А думается мне так потому, что для записи своего выступления она выбрала место почти точно между платяным шкафом (за её правым плечом) и стеной дома (за её левым плечом). А в России есть поговорка: "Муж - не шкаф, - можно и отодвинуть", а также есть присловие "За ним - как за каменной стеной". Вот потому у меня и такие художественные ассоциации возникают от просмотра этой видеозаписи.

Guapísima

Lol going to medical school in 5-10 years as you described is more than likely something you wont want to do come that age. If you want to do it, do it when you're young.

What's your legiment ?

Gosh, watched you jump from law, to medicine and now the army? I wonder what you're going for next? NASA? lol

No disrespect to anyone but I don't get the army thing. When you ask people why they are willing to join the military they always say oh, it's to help out my buddies, we're all in it together. I understand that but I think it is a rationalisation. You join up knowing very well that what the army actually does is not dictated by members of the army. It's dictated by politicians and a lot of them are really, really unpleasant people who will throw people like you under the bus with a smile on their faces, just to win an election. I have no problem with the idea that at some point force is necessary but I think it is a conversation worth having.

Yay for imperialism

Hi..after 4 years of education..you want join the army as a medic..wow..my son is 2Para..Afghanistan 3 tours..thank God he never met you in a medical situation. !!
