To everyone worried about battle PT. You will end up loving these when at regiment as you will do it Friday morning and then early finish. I learned to love log runs, stretcher races etc as I knew that in about 4 hours I’d be on the road home for the weekend.

I cannot believe that on the run the instructors allowed them to look at the ground most of the time, it seems to me from my Non Marine Military Service that this was an ideal opportunity to teach that this run was not simply an opportunity to build up stamina but also that in a real fire fight situation being alert to covering the surrounds and possible enemy presence/ambush was of greater benefit that looking at the road head one pace at a time which was NOT productive

@djrxp 4 года назад

Thanks for the comment. I understand your point however there is plenty of time for us to highlight the importance of situational awareness (and we are already doing so). This was fitness focused and is also only a glimpse of what happened on that session. Appreciate the comment though.👌

This is battle PT intended to replicate physical hardships in a semi tactical situation, moving from FEBA or between RV’s. It is not a punishment. It is not CQB either. What they are doing is tabbing. If there was a contact they would revert to a cqb pattern of movement.

Does the training follow the same plan with each intake or are there slight differances

@DiedASurvivorOnYT 4 года назад

All the same mate

@callamtitan5458 4 года назад

Courses are changed every 2 years. Slightly. But nothing considerable.

@djrxp 4 года назад

It's all the same, there could be very slight differences but not much at all

So if you wanna apply you have to do it online even if covid 19 wasn't a thing. Do you have to chose where you go or is it just one location if you wanna be a soilder not a salior or pilot.

@tgfrenchman3258 4 года назад

Different branches will have completely different locations. ie Army goes to Harrogate. Certain roles also will go to a different locations, e.g. Royal Marines will go to Lympstone, even though thats not where the majority of the navy trains. Is this what you're asking? in short, no you don't choose where you go, every role will have a location of where they are trained.

Since when were recruits allowed camelbacks and their own personal webbing etc???

@djrxp 4 года назад

Great question. It's not personal, all the kit is issued. The Army has developed the kit needed. Camelbaks are a great bit of kit and everyone is issued one.

@LordJako 4 года назад

djrxp that’s awesome. I’m currently in phase 2 raf reg training and the kit and webbing is very different, just thought it would be the same across tri-service but it’s cool to see it varies throughout. Great video!!

@djrxp 4 года назад

BFA (blank firing attachment). It is used when on exercise using blank ammunition. For training purposes only.

@joshjarvis2088 4 года назад

Think you serve 26 years and then can retire? But it works in a few sets of years so at first you’ll sign up for 4 then you can either leave the army after that or continue for another set of years (I think)

hi, dunno if you can help but I have assessment centre coming up on the 21st and I have recently seen a comment somebody was rejected due to high blood pressure, both my parents (father has been in 25+ years and still in) have it so thought I'd check mine out and it's consistently in the pre-high to high zone. I'm 6'1 76kg run 4 times a week 5ks 10ks and interval, my diet is clean. Leading up to assessment I won't be consuming any alcohol or caffeine and cutting back on salt intake etc. have you ever known anyone being rejected through high BP? It's stressing me out which is ironic as it's most likely making it worse haha
