Very much like the Infantry Junior Leaders was which were the best ever.certainly better than the Brigade of Guards are now in 2023

FUCK AMERICA , FUCK NATO !

FUCK AMERICA , FUCK NATO !

I suggest that this is an army cadet unit under Coldstream Guards instruction. Lee Enfields were used by cadets at that time and had been out of regular service for decades. The squad is not wearing Guards kit.

What I want to know right now, is are they Coldstream Guards, Royal Artillery, or cadets. All three were mentioned, but not specified😅

Guards should do Buckingham House Duties with Lee-Enfields, Bundeswehr "Guards/Ceremonial Troops" still use Mauser K98.Looks silly with Bullpup Rifles and covers over optics.

Great performance from 99 battery. Nearly as good as the winning performance by 'B' platoon, the Cameronians, Scottish rifles ,Glasgow ACF at Drip camp, Stirling, in 1977.

Wait.........this is supposed to be 1986? Why are they using old Enfield rifles instead of SLR's?

Good effort

they are training to be queens guards

I’m surprised that they are carrying the old Lee Enfield in the same way as an SLR, it looks odd. The Lee Enfield was carried over the left shoulder when on the march, it had no pistol grip like the SLR has. I suppose the Cadets are drilling with the Enfield because there are no SLRs available for them however well done and well turned out, hope they joined the regulars when they were older. Coldstream Guards veteran.

Well done lads not sure about using the SA 80 for this , but the old and trusted LEE Enfield or perhaps the SLR works well.

Terbaik staff kawat pebarisan tentera awak em....memang terbaik dan kemas semasa panglima awak memeriksa pebarisan di jalankan

Pains me to say but this drill is better than modern regular Guardsmen!

Was that major Massey at the start?

Oh my! 32 years ago...and I wasn't young then. Very smart young men. I hope they had great days, whatever field they settled to.

That Rodney sauntering out to inspect needs a fucking good haircut and a pace stick rammed up his arse!

Absolutely brilliant drill lads you can be proud of what you did. I wonder how many of you entered the military full time.

well, i guess there's workhorses and parade horses..

I`m surprised to see them drilling with Lee Enfields.

i did this myself ,bouthsides p.t.e. and n.c.o .

If you can read the title. It says 'Coldstream Gaurds 'Drill' Competition'. It doesn't say they're CGs.

there not even colstream guards, their ACF cadets. there about 14yrs old half of them

Acf coldstream guards cadets

Acf

terrible timing!

2:52 the black guy doesn't raise his knee high enough

There is something with the elegance of movement in the use of long rifles in drill that the stubby little SA80 simply cannot achieve.

Good stuff.... I did this in the cadets way way back in 1960 at The Duke of Yorks in Chelsea... these lads look better than we did!!!

The British system is based on volunteers, who are highly paid compared to the israelis, and has a huge amount of institutional pride based on a history going back decades or centuries - the israeli is more 'I fight, so my kid brother won't get his head bashed in by a rock' except for some units. This is expressed in the ceremonies, the pomp, and the dress uniforms. Hope that answers your question!

An entirely different philosophy of combat and people management. First, the IDF is made up of conscripts and reservists, with a fairly small 'regular' core, so they train for their job and very little more - no firearms training for cooks for example. To give you some idea of how the IDF works a private earns about 750 NIS a month if they are a combat soldier, and no combat soldiers earn a lot less. There is almost no social gap between soldiers and officers.

Better drill than most infanyty battalions. Well done lads

aahh this was when the whole coy was Artillary right??

ive done that once or twice on pes but that just made the keeper look stupid as!
