Catterick Says Goodbye To Its LARGEST EVER Gurkha Intake | Forces TV 

So jealous....

Yes true honorable warriors, it cannot be stated how inspirational they are to us and the positive impact they have on civilization. Many blessings to them and their families.

We nepali fighting for uk fighting for india as an gorkha army and what we get nothing uk government is not going to give them what they deserve and india is taking our land shame on us, our forefathers promise queen to be loyal with her nation and nepali are still serving another nation and they dont give us what we deserve, india we help them to win war aganist pakastin and they caputre our land ( kalapani ) Shame on us Nepali ( Gorkhali ) or as you guys says " gurkha " 4 of my friends are in gurkha army and i am here in nepal, i miss them ❤️❤️

and you dont know how to talk like one

@@zeroxgaming5007 dont know what your told my friend but the gurkha are treated the same as British troops. The issues your on about was years ago.

And yet when my son passed out in the Rifles only 40% stayed the distance…I fear the next generation. They couldn’t handle discipline, were disrespectful to authority and had little stamina. Mind you when a Sjt tells you there is no such thing as mental health a few days after someone tries to hang themselves in the next room to your son then you start to think the Army is not a responsible employer and better to choose RN or RAF.

Well it’s either the British Army or living in poverty, it’s always going to be a high pass rate

@@TheCamberwell the fact that they weren't colonized says alot about them and their motivation to never give up. And bout the poverty thing ... poor can give up too. Look at other poverty-stricken countries why dont they fit in army with 100% retention rate?

@Ian Campbell Very true words.

Absolutely no chance of even one these excellent SOLDIERS becoming a grooming ganger. NONE. You know I'm right.

Nothing is ever wasted, and I feel sure that you will achieve success. My thoughts are with you for a prosperous 2020

Abhishek Just keep on trying.... you have 2 more times to apply right.

Good luck to you Abhishek.

Don’t give up mate, any Gurkha will always we welcome in Britain. Hope you make it next time if you’re gonna try again 🇬🇧 🤝🇳🇵

you could try the french legion if you wanne join an eu force but dident make it as a gurkha.

@Maxi Delevingne french foreign legion isn't elite, contrary to popular idiot belief. more gurkha intake just goes to show how much brits hate the idea of national pride, strength, culture and heritage today, in favour of low class socialist ideals and multiculturism. today's young men deserve no better than a nation that hates them and calls them 'toxic'.

I'd join the British army just for the adventure and the Gucci gear. Heard there recruiting from the Commonwealth again without 5 years residency.

@Maxi Delevingne Nepal wasn't defeated by Britain in battle the war was pretty much a stalemate EIC won through a cleaver treaty.

@Maxi Delevingne You never have to worry about Corbyn ever!

@Maxi Delevingne No we didn't defeat them in war! it was a stand off, and our Army recognised them for what they were ,Fearsome warriors!

I think not quite, Gurkhas who leave after more than four years' service will be able to apply to stay in the UK.

@@barryroach1980 the minimum service is 4 years

@@rosskidd7243 , yes thats correct which is why I wrote it :-)

Actually Gurkhas are specifically not allowed to become UK citizens until they leave or transfer units.

@@airhabairhab maybe there is something being lost in translation, I will try again, when or If the soldier discharges himself after 4 years (minimum service thanks Huckin) then they can apply for citizenship.........I hope its all understandable now my friends!

@Maxi Delevingne I know man, I'm considering moving back to England if Brexit goes through. I'd gladly sign up for the British paras if my body is still up for it. My grandfather was in 1 Para, tough boys for sure. Don't underestimate American paratroopers they are no joke as well, may not be as hard of a selection but once you get to an airborne unit the standards are much higher than regular US infantry.

@Maxi Delevingne I'm 19, and yes when I commission as an officer in 3 years I'll already have a few years of enlisted experience and will get a Ranger School slot after Infantry BOLC. Hopefully, once I get through that I'll be set up to try to become an 18A, its a long and hard road but I'm going to give it my all.

@Maxi Delevingne If I make it to 75th Ranger Batt or SF I don't think I'll be coming over to England haha

@Maxi Delevingne too tempting haha

Like to see gurkha in action 🤔 a meaningless US war much? USA beg the taliban for peace. I wonder what war US will start next and not finish.

They are fit and full of inborn energy. They are incredible dancers too.

Don’t forget that they have already gone through a tough selection test before arriving in the UK for basic training. The weak have already been weeded out whilst the standard intake still have to go through that process at Catterick.

We should do similar across the pond here in the U.S. It would do a whole hell of a lot of kids quite a bit of good!

You are conflating issues. Ghurkas are part of the British Army and have been for some time. The reduction in army numbers is down to the poor management of the present government.

Here here. Might make some of the whinging snowflakes realise how easy they've got it.

They should do up bad lads army again

You are right, I always say same things. Need to know our youngsters.

I'm talking about average youth out on streets no father's no morals

God bless you

@@stevenriley717 those are the minority. Dont worry too much over it. Plenty of fine British young men to be their comrades.

moonbeam of course but the Gurkhas main goal since a child is to join the British Army

@The Imperialist cheers bro,

Maxi Delevingne please enlighten me on your conclusion.

Royal Navy sailors are the fittest lads in the Military FACT

Maxi Delevingne no not a Corby voter. If you no anything about the Gurkhas then you’ll no that there selection process to make it to week 1 day 1 of basic training is way harder than anyone else has to go through to get to that point and you’d be lucky if 10% of all recruits starting the entrance process could pass what the Gurkhas have to do. The reason I said that they are the proudest is due to the fact that for those that don’t pass the entrance process it is seen by some with in their villages as bringing shame on the village and family and it is not uncommon for so to leave their village and never return or to commit suicide as the shame can be to much. Very very few of today’s youth if any would think that not making it into the British Army brought shame on them and rtheir family. I joined the Army in 1995 and left in 2011 and I know for a fact that no one on my intake would have passed what the Gurkhas had to do to get to that point. You’re right in saying that those in the SAS , SBS, SRR PARA REGT AND RM COMMANDOS are incredibly fit guys and girls for those who passed selection for the SRR, but that’s taken many years of training for most of them. The Gurkhas on the other hand are naturally fit when they arrive at phase one due to the environment and altitude that they have grown up in.

That's what France does with the FFL.

they can

They’re given the option of becoming citizens when they’re discharged. Most choose not to, because they have no desire to live here. They join the British army for the honour it is seen as in nepal

@@danielmacintyre4877 I guess the weather isn't preferable XD

@@danielmacintyre4877 it's not just the honor it's the military pension that goes with it , they're entitled to take it back home to Nepal with them, salute brothers from another nation thank you for the service 😎👊

daibon Ten 750 Gurkhas made 7300 Pakistani soldiers surrender in 1971

@daibon Ten Meaning 'What' exactly?

As was said :Anyone who says he's not afraid to die, is either a liar, or a Gurkha.:

He was only on medical hold. (He broke a leg during training - it happens). Recycle to the next class in February 2020,--I'm sure he'll make it next time 'round, given the stated "pass" rate his class obtained to make it to their Falling Out Ceremony.

He will, once his leg heals. Sadly it happens.

support the g.w.t

Amen to that friend. ex WRAC.

You are a bit behind the times.
