Looking forward to the next video! The '70% Chance' review got me 🤣

[@MilitaryFitness]

Cheers mate

[@Katmando376]

Interesting reviews look forward to seeing the positive ones. Thanks Sam.

[@MilitaryFitness]

Cheers

Hi Sam, this is not just in your UK army, it's everywhere in the world, the only thing I would recommend to everyone in Britain is, OK - come and try it yourself so you can judge for yourself if you are a soldier, a fighter, or not. Everyone sees it differently, every superior is different, everyone has their own mood, everyone likes different food. I praise your channel, which we watch outside the UK :-) because we are generally interested in the army and have our own experience (but not with the British one) :-) :-) Good luck to you all!

[@MilitaryFitness]

Thanks for the kind words. I am sure it is mostly like that for most countries

[@lewisdeere]

Quality content, bum snorkeler best thing I've heard all week 🤣🤣

[@MilitaryFitness]

Hahahaaha I know, superb. Thanks for the kind words too💪🏻💪🏻

Your welcome pal💪

I'm still going through the reserve basic training process, and other than getting booked on the basic courses taking ages, the worst part of it so fsr has been the admin side of things. It takes an absolute age, sending stuff then waiting for response, to find out they need something else so you send it off, it takes ages to get stuff back etc etc...

[@johnallen7807]

You can thank Capita for that!

[@skeletonkey6733]

Bleess clearly square pegs round holes as the armed forces cater to all who grasp what's available from education and career development . Whilst all agree the process needs streamlining it sorts the wheat from the chaff and provides fit for service and more importantly professionals fit for task trained to the task. Just look at the Gurkhas who serve so proud and an honor to serve along side with selections so rigid and of high standard.God bless Sam and thank you for taking the time

[@MilitaryFitness]

Thankyou and have a good week

[@jollyswashbuckler]

I've wanted to enlist in the British army but I must say is the recruitment process takes too long, it takes 6 months to a year (I bet it wasn't always like that)! Being I have a dual citizenship I just enlisted in the US army which it took a little under 2 months to do so and I ship off to basic training on Halloween! Thanks for all your inspirational content. Perhaps I'll join the British army in the future, if another war happens hopefully they speed up the recruitment process!

[@MilitaryFitness]

Best of luck for the future mate. Take care

[@thewoo7269]

Same I applied back in March and I’m starting phase 1 in a month took the piss

[@MilitaryFitness]

@@thewoo7269 it really can take a while but you have persisted with it. Best of luck

[@x67th]

Doesnt matter how long it takes as long as you are going for it! If it meant so much to you youd wait. I am waiting for my P1 date also but I have no stress and everything is in the right place

[@jollyswashbuckler]

@@x67th I just had nowhere to stay in the UK for months on end, at least in the future I'll have money saved up and I can settle in while I do the application process, I still and always will have my British citizenship so I can join after I'm done serving in the US army and then I can join the British army with experience ( idk whether or not I keep my rank cause it is an honor ), Btw im in the 101st airborne division and I wish you the best of luck

[@kurt8759]

Power goes to head with some of them like any job with rank. But i guess there not all like that.

[@Si-mc6dl]

Hey man. Glad you said it "Get paid 365 days a year." I once worked out that when I was a private in the upper pay level that I was getting paid like £2.30 an hour. Pessimism? Nah I was just curious about how much I got paid for sleeping time. It was about £6000 a year just for going to bed. Optimistic realist! Seems like some people just don't know what a salary is then take a salaried job then complain about pay.

[@MilitaryFitness]

It certainly does pay to be optimistic when you break down the hourly rate 😂

[@sophiehulley2353]

Hi Sam my name is Sophie your videos are very helpful as I plan to join the army next year hoping to become a combat medical technician I was wondering if you have any other tips for example things you wish you had of known before the assessment and / or how to plan a healthy work out as I sometimes think I’m over doing it or could of done more thanks for the KZbin I’ve been noting everything.

[@MilitaryFitness]

Really it’s just good to be thinking about these things now before joining. It sounds like you are on the right track and don’t forget to get some rest days in with all the phys that you do.

[@KingSloth]

Completely agree with the con of not being promoted if you aren't part of a clique. Both myself and my friend worked solid for 2 years on a communication network with multiple exercises chucked, boxing for regiment, cyber competition for regiment and also charity work but never got a recommendation. Whereas the group of people who all were yes men of the seniors who actually did no work but we're happy doing brew runs for the seniors we're recommend and promoted. There is no incentive to actually do your job and more incentive to be a "Bum Snorkller" 🤣

[@MilitaryFitness]

It can be tough for sure

[@georgerobert4709]

Maybe you just don't possess the requisite leadership qualities ? Promotion in the Army requires more than just doing a few sports . You actually have to be able to LEAD men and regardless of your sporting prowess you simply may not have what it takes.

I can apply in 3 months and I've talked to a lot of guys in the army. None of them have said anything like this. a lot of these reviews are probably bs

[@MilitaryFitness]

They are from a lot of disgruntled soldiers I would imagine

[@garydonoghue4565]

Sorry to say it but these reviews are pretty accurate.. maybe worded poorly but spot on

[@MilitaryFitness]

You are going to absolutely love my next video 😂😂

[@johnallen7807]

Personally I never take any notice of reviews on the internet, it is too easy to fake them. What measures do you take to check they are genuine? for example, name, rank and number would be a start.

[@MilitaryFitness]

Not really, they are reviews rather than 8 worst facts.

[@johnallen7807]

@@MilitaryFitness That is my point precisely, they could be written by anyone or just a bot. One thing that is certainly true is the shambles Capita have made of the recruitment process, an average of 10 months to enlist and they have not hit their target in a single year since they were given the contract.

[@MilitaryFitness]

@@johnallen7807 it is taking some recruits an awfully long time for sure.

[@johnallen7807]

@@MilitaryFitness Considering Army target strength is 72500 by 2025, smaller than it was at the time of Waterloo, you would think they could manage that?? Remember the saying "What's the difference between the Army and the boy scouts?" "The boy scouts have adult leadership" lol.

[@lildoddzy2403]

@@MilitaryFitness That's what the recruiter said as physically I was on form but mentally I was labelled a risk I got the sense he didn't agree with the decision but better safe than sorry wouldn't want to put a unit at risk by being the weakest link

I mean your a very handsome white guy, weather you know it or not 100% you're the clique, so it makes sense you had a good go at it. that being said I feel like 95% of bad reviews are spoiled ass kids crying they didn't get they're way

[@MilitaryFitness]

I think so too about the bad reviews.

I was a soldier in the 70's, I wouldn't serve in today's woke Army and certainly wouldn't swear an oath to Charles the Turd.

[@austinshannon4197]

Hello. Just so you know I’m in the U.S. Army and I just want you to know it’s ok to visit the United States well as long as it’s legal. Since I’m a U.S. government employee this is a valid professional response. You don’t have to worry about the U.S. military getting mad at you for the tyrannical British government of the 1700’s on the American 13 colonies. It happened a long time ago. No one is even alive now from back then so I welcome you my brother especially since now Great Britain and the USA governments are official allies.
