ACF Fieldcraft: Basic Field Signals (movement)

[@biggiouschinnus7489]

You sir, are an absolute lifesaver. CFAV here, just starting out, no prior forces or cadet experience. You've no idea how helpful this is!

[@CadetBooks]

Thanks very much, I'm glad you have found them useful. I started with no prior experience too so I totally understand! Good luck with everything and I hope you continue to enjoy it all.

[@henshuuleviroadto2542]

We watched this at my detachment yesterday, incredibly helpful.

[@CadetBooks]

Brilliant, glad it helped!

[@nigelgregory4777]

Glad I found these, I started as a adult volunteer Instructor just before covid so have not been able to get much training in the basics, these videos are being very helpful in keeping myself motivated and looking forward to when this comes to an end and I can get back to my cadets /friends in the ACF.

[@CadetBooks]

Thanks Nigel, I'm glad you've found them useful. I'll try and do some more if I get time! D

[@nigelgregory4777]

No panic my friend, there is plenty to keep me going, did my bic 1 before covid and because of the situation and delays I cannot get on Westminster, so your vids are great to progress my CFIT, and fast track to iic, when this is over. Many thanks for your reply. Nige.

[@CadetBooks]

@@nigelgregory4777 No worries at all, good luck with the rest of your training! D

[@Tyler-cu6ci]

You've also earned a new subscriber as this is useful for those looking at learning things even before joining the British Army, so thank you loads.

[@CadetBooks]

Brilliant, thanks. I'm glad you find the videos useful! Dave

Thank you very much Lieutenant Hazelwood! I recently joined the ACF at age 17 so only have a years worth of time to spent with the Cadets, so I am trying to get myself up to speed for my detachment. I have been binge-watching your videos and am finding them very helpful! Cheers!

[@CadetBooks]

Thanks for the comment! That's great, I'm glad you're finding them useful! Good luck with it all, just make sure to get away on some training weekends to get the most out of your time with the ACF.

[@gessex8806]

Ex Kent ACF here (Margate detachment), starting as a adult instructor over in northern ireland this was a great refresher!

[@backbonedrums]

Awesome, glad it helped. Good luck with the new venture! D

[@stuarthunter2923]

Thankyou Sir, that's a clear example of good hand signals. An Aussie.

[@CadetBooks]

Brilliant, thanks very much! Dave

[@stuarthunter2923]

Used these in cadets years ago and using them again in milsims. They are quite handy.

[@CadetBooks]

@@stuarthunter2923 They were initially only intended to help get local cadets through lock down a few years back, but they seem to be still going strong which is awesome. Glad you're finding them useful! D

[@xyzsimo7017]

As a CFAV, sourcing reliable information both for oneself and as a training aid can be extremely difficult to find. Like all your written handbooks, these videos are excellent & informative. At last, someone doing a vid on hand signasl stressing they should be given largely with your left hand ie as you'd be holding a weapon. So many vids and printed material use right handed illustrations ! Many thanks.

[@CadetBooks]

That's great, thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you're finding them useful! D

[@T.MCG.28061]

Thank you for these simple commands. im sure it'll help me in the future and in games that i play

[@CadetBooks]

Glad you find the video useful, thanks for watching.

[@tribalcosy8077]

I wish that you would come back.

[@BassGuyRy]

Really enjoying all of your videos, hope there will be more!

[@CadetBooks]

Thanks very much, I'm glad you're finding them useful! D

[@jamesroadnight5327]

Your videos are excellent. I have just applied to become CFAV, 20 years after leaving the reserves and they are proving an excellent refresher.. I notice you haven’t made any videos recently, are you planning to extend your library to cover more areas of training? Cheers

[@CadetBooks]

Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you've found the videos useful. A lot of the videos were done during lockdown a few years back and were necessary at the time which is why there was a flurry of them. I keep talking about doing more, but it's just about finding the time now. It's on my to-do list so I'm sure I'll get some more done at some point. Good luck with your CFAV training. Dave

The tutorial is very handy for when you start teaching lessons to revise off

[@CadetBooks]

Thanks, glad you find them useful!

To be fair great video! Really helpful to the up and coming Cadets 👍👍👍

[@ravenousbane3617]

Remember people, yes these are useful, but, not everyone is taught them and CAN vary for County to Detachments. Being taught harder, or simpler versions.

[@jimshoebridge7510]

But they shouldn’t, they are in the Pamphlet and should be taught as such.

Well done, keep up the good work!

please add more video tutorials.

Will you be uploading more videos like these in the future?

[@CadetBooks]

Hi there, I hope to do some more videos over the summer if I can find some time. Any requests?

@@CadetBooks I don't have nothing particular in mind yet but some land navigation videos would be cool.
