Finishing basic training & Pass out (British Army) 

Congratulations 👏 welcome to the family 👍🏽

WELL DONE!!! Chelsie on passing.

Congrats 👏🏻

Congratulations!

Sooooo proud of you girl! Its been an honour to share the training journey with you from mod 1-3 and stand on that square with you. Can't wait to see you in Jan. You are an absolute rockstar and a sister for life. 💕

Good videos and we'll certainly post a link to your channel, it's good to see someone encouraging the benefits of reservists! No time for the the boring stuff :)

Once in the military always in the military and you'll never forget your service number...

Congratulations Soldier, welcome to your new family, for life!

Loving the content, i’ve actually just rejoined the reserves in the logistics Corps just waiting on my medical. I’ve done training before covid, I was at Pirbright for two weeks 🙌

Nice videos. I served in the regular Army between 96 and 2009 and had an amazing time including 4 operational tours. Your experiences will stay with you forever. Best of luck!

I remember the Jerry can test. I had two cans I walked with forward and then back to where I started. They were heavy even though I had strong triceps. I never dropped them even though I could feel my arm muscles burning. I didn't want to be shouted at for dropping them or made to do it again as it was hard enough walking fast with them as they hit your legs. But I did it. 👍🏻 I know what it's like. Well done you. 🙂🇬🇧.

Wow! All so much different now. I joined up 13.04.1986 at Blackdown Barracks just up the road from Pirbright.

Love these videos! Could you do a video based on advise/tips for the assault course?

Congrats.

Brilliant vid! I’ve applied for regular soldier (engineer) route and although it’s the regular route I think you’ve really helped me feel a bit more at ease with basic, AC etc so thank you! Also we did a trip to RAF Brize Norton with college where we sampled some mess food so I can’t 100% relate with the food remarks! 😅 Well Done on completing Basic and thank you for giving us all the videos!!

I like your videos 🇬🇧

Got up to week 9 of army regs. Handed in my DAOR. But considering reserves rn. As being able to do some soldiering while also doing my civie job and not trapped with a 4 year contract sounds good.

I'm signed up to 4 Para reserves. I'm dreading balancing work and the tests for the regiment.

Grantham is where I am based with my reserve unit (a national unit). Have to travel 3 to 4 hrs across country to get there once a month

Love all your posts, Been keeping me updated on what to expect as I go through basic myself. Im off to MOD3 myself in March (and at Grantham) and looking forward to it even more after watching this and really nervous it would be hell. My MOD 2 was in Cardiff and that was fab so hoping Grantham is just as good. How many people did they let you have at pass out and what time did family have to get there?

Yeah i believe that grantham seems easier for the MODS overall as my MOD2 at grantham was much easier than your MOD2 at Pirbright

Well done. And the Irony that Grantham is where the RLC school of catering and the food is shit. That lower all expectations for any food in the Army!

Was you in Grantham in December, probably saw your course when I was there for a weekends training 😉

I remember way back in the early 70s, my basic training ( yes im an old man please dont get bored ) I joined the guards as a boy soldier at 16, you could join the army back then at 15 years old back in the day when pirbright was the guards training depot. We did march & shoots with full battle order including the SLR rifle, at times it felt like my lungs were going to explode but we were made to carry on if you were unfortunate enough not to keep up or worse collapse you quite literally got a good kicking. I witnessed recruits getting punched by the ptis. Im not suggesting this is how it should be but we joined the army for god sake ! they were preparing us for war, we kind of expected to be treated like this in a way but it was in a different time I guess. It does concern me how the training standards have changed .

Sounds like you smashes it, congratulations❤️ I'm going to the assessment centre next month!! What was the flask you were using that you mentioned?🤣I need that!! Xx

Can you do a video on the CBRN and what you had to do during that.

You can wear your warm kit on stag

This excellent flask you speak of... which is it?

It was cool you got to do an assault course, that wasn't on my training. The 2k run can now be substituted for a bleep test. My exercise was also 6 days and 5 nights followed by battle pt and bayonets. My exercise was paused for a couple of hrs due to queens funeral so we went and sat in a barn to watch it on a projector. We got bugged out twice on our last night. And did our night patrol between each bug out. We had to sing musical songs in our sections for the last night, and also had dominos. I also agree with the dynamic thing about blocks. There were a couple of guys who would always be last out and never prepared.

when's your CIC course ?

Just to let you know that’s not the actual RFT it’s one that been revised to be easier than the real one, there are 2 other parts to RFT and the weight is heavier for the 4k 2k

What happens after you finish basic training/pass out as a reservist? Thanks :)

Sorry but can u show a 2k run time from your watch 8 minsn is wuit fast

Remember combat is not the only way to peace.

Silly question, what was the shower situation like? Full open or individual showers?

Nice😍

Well done for passing. I'm confused by the size of the jerrycans. Are you sure that they are 44 kgs (which is 44 litres)?

I started off the Territorial Army (Reserves) in New Zealand 🇳🇿 started when I was 16 then moved over to RF (Regular Force) in 95 when Bosnia was on started in 92 at 16 the got out in 2008 😂

Which band did you have on pass off?

In which Core you are going to Serve ?

Reserves is easier than regular training but its in such a short space of time as in u only do a few nights on ex whereas in regs u do 6 ex’s of 5 nights being bugged out every nights and being beasted at 4 in the morning

You didn't find it challenging because it isn't. Bravo/mod3 is far too easy, I should know I am an ex ATU instructor. One of the reasons I left is because it is too easy and I was not happy about some of the recruits that were allowed to pass.

I’m 16 and I’ve signed up for the army so I think they’ll contact me in about 6 months the problem I have is if you are 16 you have to say in the army until you’re 22 so I was wondering if there was anyone here that can tell me is it’s the right decision

Who knows about angeles age and how old is she

So u not pass out in no1 rig?

💖💞

If somebody know her age please write me

lets hope we don't actually need the army in a fighting capacity in the future

where is the time stamp?

‘No one likes drill’ Me watching this: I love drill

Hallo

Chelsie please I really want to talk to you?

20 Feb 24 are you still in ????

I love u ..u r so beautiful 😍.

Whoever isn’t letting you wear warm kit on exercise needs a serious talking to, it’s just poor admin

This makes me cringe !! Lower standards than what was required in the 70s-80s I bet you did not carry a 6ft 15 stone bloke 200 yards in 90 seconds, all done in the old DMS boots !!

Hahahaaaaaa training ? Alot easier to day than in the 70s and 80s, bet you can't carry a 16 stone bloke over 200 yards !!
