Wouldn't it be easier and more effective to simply drop the whole platoon down to be smoked/beasted? The idea being, "one man fails, you all fail"

Yes but you didn't have the biggest empire in the world; similarly, English is the international language of the world.. Furthermore, we have a joke in the UK about 'Dutch courage'. It is an oxymoron. Additionally we did not capitulate with the Nazis or get conquered by Napoleon. Now run away and let your mother wipe your arse.

[@robertgendron4683]

3:46 It never fails to make me laugh with the Sergeant Major screaming "THAT PIECE OF SHAT"

[@Richard500]

I can remember what an utter shower we were on our first parade as recruits. Some of us had been cadets and managed some semblance of order, but not enough to save us from a "beasting". I think we only lost about three from our platoon of about 50. One who could swing his arms in time with his feet another who just had a breakdown and the other was just plain unwilling to do anything right. We got called all sorts of names, I decided to take NOTHING personally and inwardly laughed at some of the "insults" launched at us randomly. One personal remark to me was about my legs when standing to attention. "Get your knees together" the Sgt screamed, "I can't Sergeant" I replied. So, he tied my legs together with a length of string. By this time, I was laughing, the Squad was laughing and so was "Sgt L" - "You should have joined the cavalry" was his final words. Out of training and doing "warm up drill" one morning (those that know about this will know!) I bunch of Army cadets watching us started to laugh. Sgt L ignored them for a short while and then marched up at speed right through them at the edge of the square and them gave them a full on bollicking like you've never heard. To prove his power one day Sgt L told us that when he "shouted shit, we would jump of the shovel" and one morning he brought us to attention, "Squaad... SHIT"!!! - we all came to attention. Point made. 🤣🤣

Wow, British Army’s different from USMC. My Gunny yelled at me for not yelling loud enough to spit at him.

This isn’t the real army, the private’s aren’t actually enlisted either, they are petty criminals trying to turn it around by going on a 1950s army style training course ran by ex army NCO’s and officers.

Is SIR.

[@chrismc410]

I thought the RSMs were technically Warrant Officers and treated the same as a Commissioned Officer. At least that's what I've been told how the Commonwealth forces do it. I'm mostly familiar with how the U.S. Military does things. The closest thing U.S. forces have to the RSM is the Command Sergeant Major in the case of the Army and Marine Corps, the Command Master Chief Petty Officer with surface ships and shore commands/Chief of the Boat in the case of a Submarine, the Command Chief Master Sergeant in the case of Air Force commands. In all cases, these guys are E9s the highest paygrade one can go on the Enlisted side. They answer only to the Commanding General or Ship or Submarine Captain. Respected and feared by all, including the Commanding General and their XOs or the Captain of a ship or submarine. These guys often have been in their respective branches longer than most the junior enlisted and junior as well as mid-grade officers have been alive. They know all, see all, hear all.

[@BB1872]

He came to me looked me up and down and said your eyes are looking high over the sergeants mess 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was dying to laugh but I held it in and knew if I did I'd have got beasted to fuck lol !! Our section commander walked past me after him and smiled then undid my top button 🙈🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣 we are still friends too this day !! Superb memories 👌 👌👌👌👌

You are both correct. It should be noted however that in real life all the training corporals were Sergeant Majors in the actual Army.

I probably sound like a sadist, but this scene cracks me up. Always so entertaining to see Brown getting put in place. He just gets out of jail. Doesn't know his number, and in typical fashion he treats it like a game - he begins to smirk and that smirk is wiped right off his face when he learns he's going back to jail. Then there's the ever-so-sweet insult to injury, with Edwards calling him a piece of shit. BAAAHahahaha!

[@sErgEantaEgis12]

Is there a way to win at these inspections or will the NCO always find something to be angry about and give you a world of pain?

[@wkcia]

I have it on good authority that yelling "Sir!" (or the appropriate enlisted rank) at the appropriate time and otherwise staring ahead with a look of resigned suffering will get you past the vast majority of these encounters with senior NCOs and Officers

[@chrismc410]

Short answer, no. You will get beasted/smoked regardless for one reason or another and sometimes no reason at all

[@SirJesusFreak]

@@wkcia I can confirm that resigning yourself to suffering grants you the small mercy that NCOs find someone else to blame for the inevitable collective punishmeng

[@jasontownsend9460]

Keep improving each time and look like you’re making an effort.

[@Crookedchurch]

Only look them in the eye for the briefest second when answering. Keep your answers short and sound confident. Do not smile or look sad but adopt a look of grimace or pain as you know what's coming anyway no matter how good your kit is. You are going to get a good thrashing so it's best not to catch attention as there will be someone else less clever than you that let's their emotions slip and will become a magnet for future bearings until they learn to hide their feelings. It's a game and the stripes know just how to play it and win every time. :) enjoy!
