my brother was RE and i remember being down wimbish in the QE singing this with all the lads, god miss the good old time. love my army family. R.I.P Sapper Luke Allsopp. xx REspect & REmember x
iv been watching this for a while now but never commented, iv been watching it all the time since my uncle corpral ivano violino died in afghan 2007.watching this makes me realise he died doing what he loved
On the 23/03/03 my good friend was killed in Iraq in a week it will be 14 years when Sapper Luke Allsopp was killed. I miss you smiler and will never forget the help you gave me when my dad had the heart attack on camp who also is a Sapper. I watch this vid because Luke made me learn the words as I'm a sappers daughter and sister I love all my Sapper family. And Luke have a drink in the cors bar for me. Sarah xx
that reminded me of everyone of my SQN bars. especially 31 armoured engineer in munsterlager and 33 independent in Antrim. once a Sapper always a Sapper. it never goes away. one love brothers.
Best trade in the army mate...Still going at Bassingbourn then...I shagged a bird from the Naafi there...1987 oh those days..Once a planty, always a planty..Good luck
Served 12 years in the RE, large portion of it in Airborne Engineers. Songs were not our thing but horses for courses. Great Corps with options for all, if your thinking off joining... Do it 100%
Seen this for the first time and cant stop watchin...Makes me wish i was back with the boys..Out in 87....Good days..andyhubball is right...You can NEVER replace it, good luck you new lads, learn the words
My dad was in royal engineers in gulf Jason Ramm, proud to say im following in is foot steps and start my basic training in 3 months time, can not wait best regiment going :)
Great times in that bar (my peer group) and no doubt Joby hasn’t changed a bit! Old Taff is there egging him on and great to see Sean in the back ground (same troop as me) lapping it up. Miss you mate.
Same songs same guys, just younger than me, left in 1998 and 36 years and I still think this is a gREat video. Good to see nothing really has changed, Well done boys. Have a beer for me!! Wish I was back in the Mess!!!
Nice to see the royal enginners kicking ass as usual. I used to be in but switched to RAF and my god it's so different in a good way. But once a sapper always a sapper as they say.
Hi there. Good luck in the Corps mate. If you scroll through the comments here you'll find they are already posted. Not many people keep up the old Corps songs these days. You may be interested to know that the Corps meets en-masse at Twickenham for the Army Navy rugby every year on May 3rd. You can get a general idea of the cammeraderie on a social scale.
Fantastic Engineer song rendition in the proper intoxicated state. As a Yank reserve (but combat experienced) combat Engineer I salute you and encourage you to check out "dirty mikes boys" on you tube to check out some of our recent training demolitions exercises, where I assure you we were not giving a fuck about anyone who did not give a fuck about us, especially regarding stand off distance and beers drunk afterward.
c: Napoleon was a warrior at the battle of Waterloo, He always thought that Josephine was very very true. The infantry was advancing; the loggies were in the rear, And Josephine was entered by a Royal Engineer. c: Saddam Hussein was the ruler of Iraq, The coalition forces said "we can't be having that". He found himself a little hole, and tried to disappear, He didn't want to fight with a Royal Engineer c:
Must be the un-official corp song!!! though not many guys know all the verses! Nice to see. I left a year ago, the Screw's mess was always a good laugh!
no one else but the engineers would be doing this kinda stuff...lol fucking luv it...im always looking forward to R.E games its fucking brilliant. 25 Engr we are the rugby champs of all time.
I appyled for the Royal Engineers. Cant wait =) prob regret saying that but hey. just waiting to go glencorse or somthing cant remeber the name. Great vid 5 star
Alright mate, i just had my interview in the careers office for the RE, off to Pirbright in 3 weeks for recruit selection! how far into your application are you?
Hi mate, Stace here. I posted this video years ago. I knew your Dad very well, we were good mates back in Germany. Good luck young un have a great time. We did.
as long as you got a C in gcse maths and English, it shouldnt be too much trouble :) as an officer, you need to A levels at grade E or above which is equivalent to 180 UCAS points. hope that helped
God yeh. I've been in Engineers 21 years now. Was crossing over to RAF but the clerks fucked up my paper work (nothing new there). The Army aint wat it was mate, keep your options open. Good Luck.
fucking amazing people with out the engineers the army wouldn't be alive and kicking they do jobs from fixing spark plugs to mending a war machine thumbs up to u guys im only fourteen but have already decided to become a royal engineer and yes i study hard and will hopefully pass my exams and then its of the become one of these guys :D
@@lkdsslk552 ha that comment was 13 years ago. Honestly I joined completed my phase 1 and 2 then left. The army wasn't how I personally picture it nor did it match up with how my family portraited it.
@@lkdsslk552 I have friends both young and old in the armed forces. Either go in with a trade in mind that will be relevent for the rest of your life or look at apprenticeships. The best way I would describe my experiences in the army was it had it's good bits but it was mostly bad. I witnessed bullying, racism , sexism homophobia the works.
Tony, Dont want to piss on your chips but have you considered the RAF. I'm due to leave the Army after 22years and believe me I cant wait. Things are really bad morale wise etc. Get to know people in all the services and find out whats going on. Seriously, think about something else if you got the brains dont try the Army, please! Good luck Stace
These are the words, don't think your gunna match Joby Crystal's performance tho. c: We are, we are, we are, we are, the Royal Engineers, We can, we can, we can, we can drink more than 40 beers. Drink rum, drink rum, drink rum, drink rum, till its coming out our ears, We don't give a fuck about anyone else who don't give a fuck about us.
