British Army | Infantry | Basic Training to the end of a career.......

good vid as always boss

[@Rangermedia]

Cheers mate

[@yernoaloodtaedaethat2780]

@@Rangermedia question. What does a defence force do? I'm asking because Scotland going independent has been getting some major traction again recently and it looks like an independent Scotland from a second referendum is totally possible or is going to happen, Westminster are now admitting to seeing the reality of it and they are planning for it post-covid. The Scottish Defence Force would then be born. Do you think they would then assist local police forces and conduct security, counter-terrorism etc on home soil most of the time, or do you think they would be deployed to Afghan and stuff still?

[@FMGalactico]

I was due to start basic at Catterick on the 5/4/20 which got delayed due to covid. I’ve now put it on hold as unsure if to leave a secure job in the emergency services at 27 to join the infantry. Tough decision but your videos offer a good insight to what career I could have

[@Rangermedia]

Yes covid really disrupted everything. You just have to way out your own personal pros and cons, making the assesment on what works better for you. The Role you are in now and the Army are both secure jobs, a benfit to working for the Government.

[@TimStamper89]

Theres always the potential for joining a local reserve unit. Keep your civilian role and have the chance to serve and see what a military career could potentially offer. I know a few chaps in the same intake as myself that are doing just that.

[@BenPotter93]

I left a secure job in the financial industry at 25 to join the infantry, best decision I’ve ever made. It might seem daunting at first being older, but personally I’ve found it so much better than being a kid. If you work hard you’ll promote quick, I’ve been in battalion less than a year, and I’m already on a promotion cadre.

[@jimbo8220]

Your channel is class mate! Been watching for a while- if they stuck these on the official army socials the recruiting issues would be solved in a matter of months

[@Rangermedia]

😂 cheers mate, every little helps. Every piece of the puzzle as it’s part to play. I’m a big question asker which is why I’m unloading all the info I can with in reason. So everyone has the best chance of making up their own minds on what to do. As it’s a big decision to make but definitely a rewarding one 💪

[@jimbo8220]

Ranger Media couldn’t agree more- keep up the good work 👍

[@kaelinfoley3197]

Hi, Im interested in the Royal Irish Regiment. If you don't mind me asking whats it like for Southern Irish in the Royal Irish Regiment ? dose the Regiment have many Southerners ? What do they think of there experiences with the Regiment ? The channel content is great BTW! Keep up the good work!

[@lovablesnowman]

There's loads of Irish in all the British forces anyway. There's even more in the Royal Irish for obvious reasons. You'll be treated like anyone else and you won't be the only lad from down south in it.

[@Rangermedia]

Yeah there’s loads of Rangers serving from the South of Ireland as well as all over the UK and commonwealth. So absolutely no problems there mate.

[@alanfaulkner6329]

Bloody awesome. Plenty. Fantastic experiences.

[@ryanmurphy2738]

Brilliant mate loads of Qs answered

[@Rangermedia]

No problems at all mate

[@michael.waddell]

Brilliant, just the video I was wanting. Need to check it out when I'm back my run

[@Rangermedia]

Rememnber that cool down stretch.

[@reubenbunter143]

Great video, I think I would like to go from kings royal hussars and then after a few years transfer to 4/73 battery and the videos are still really helpful keep up the great work 👍

[@Rangermedia]

Happy days Reuben, you’ve done it the right way and looked at what best suits you 💪

[@rapnerffoamblasters5084]

Great info thanks

[@Rangermedia]

No problems at all.

[@MrManning95]

Great insight mate! 🙌🏻

[@Rangermedia]

People have been asking and there’s no other way to produce a video like this bar information download lol

[@MrManning95]

Ranger Media exactly that! But I know much more about the promotion structure now so it’s done it’s job 👌🏻

[@warrenwalker10]

Love the videos mate. Keep up the good work. Done my assessment centre last week at Palace Barracks. Now to get down to Ballykinler ASAP.

[@joshmoffett6421]

Nice one mate, have you been thinking about producing any more podcasts? I thought the last one with MKR was fantastic. I think you could capture a a good audience with podcasts, as there doesn’t really seem to be any other serving British army personnel on KZbin that do them already.

[@Rangermedia]

Yeah it certainly was something I was going to continue the issue is a piece of equipment has piled in, thats the reason I’ve had no proper live streams either that arnt using my phone, once that is sorted I’ll be back in action on that side of things.

[@jonathanwaugh5216]

Could you do a video on army pension luke.

[@Rangermedia]

Yes no problems. Just need a tad more research on it then I’ll get it produced and published.

[@jacobbraybrook5211]

An officer's version of this would be great

[@Rangermedia]

Leave it with me mate .

[@idontgooutside7741]

ace channel lad. I know you're more infantry orientated but would you maybe consider doing a small video about CMT's? I'm due to be joining as one but I'm struggling to find any info on them.

[@jackbell6294]

Do a video on rekkie platoon please.

[@Rangermedia]

Yes no problems at all, it’s will come at some stage. Starting with leave very soon but more videos out on the ground with elements like that after leave.

[@seanaco4952]

Class video mate keep up the grind big man 👍👌🤙

[@Rangermedia]

Cheers mate appreciated

[@harvey327]

Hi I am interested in joining as a guardsman. Unfortunately it has been taken down from the British army website.

[@Rangermedia]

Maby they are just revamping the website? The Guards are definitely still recruiting, jump across to Insta and search for their offical account, you might get more info there.

[@johhnyschepers]

Great vid. any recce platoon videos in the pipeline?

[@uuelhempkin6993]

Any new videos coming

[@Rangermedia]

Not for a wile no, I’ll be back at it towards the end of the month for constant uploads .

[@nevs1773]

I will be joining the infantry at the age of 26 if I was to do the 22 years what would be the highest rank I’d achieve or is that totally down to the individual drive? For example at 40 you’d find it harder to do the sergeant cadre surely lol?

[@Rangermedia]

No not at all mate, sgt course is the last arduous course you will have to do. (Promotes to sgt). The further two more promotions are based on management performance and getting the educational courses.

[@BenPotter93]

I joined at 25, and being older helped a lot more that you’d think. If you work hard when you get to battalion, you can promote mega quick. If you work hard and you’re mega at your job, you’ll be a Sjt way before you’re 40.

[@ilhancinar9580]

Grate video mate, very informative; there are no other videos like this on the platform so thank you very much, keep up the good work. Just wondering if there is a certain rank you are aiming for before you leave the army e.g CSM or Colour Sergeant?

[@Rangermedia]

Cheers mate glad you got something out of it, after finishing 22 years W02 would be brilliant. However a lot could happen between then, different opportunities and routes are out there.

[@ilhancinar9580]

No problem mate, hope you do as well as you possibly can👍🏼

[@cjtdup5395]

Got plans for the next video mate?

[@Rangermedia]

Live stream tonight mate

[@rohankiely8116]

Which would ya recommend more? Joining the Irish defence forces or the British army. I'm stuck at a crossroads and would love someone to help

[@rohankiely8116]

I would like to join the Royal Irish

[@jamiechapman5969]

This was brilliant been watching this channel a lot recently and I was wondering how career progression works within the infantry, would this be the same or similar for the Royal Marines? Just as am thinking to apply after my final year of university and I wanna know so I have an understanding for the future.

[@Rangermedia]

In all honesty I’m not to sure mate as it’s a completely different branch of the military, so I would definitely say that there would be some differences.

[@damienforrester8431]

I’m currently about to start my training with the irish defence forces in a week but the royal Irish has been interesting me lately aswell as the foreign legion I’m just wondering is there many Irish lads in the unit and how they get along main thing about me joining would be I’m Irish joining the British army but I’d love to go overseas and not just peacekeeping and training All the time

[@Rangermedia]

Damien Forrester Mates there is loads of guys that serve in the Regiment from both sides of the boarder in Ireland. So that isn’t an issue at all.

[@damienforrester8431]

Ranger Media nice to hear that definitely thinking of applying just trying to figure out time as I want to at least go overseas with the defence forces

[@Rangermedia]

Well the Regiment are about to get busy with that side of things next year with overseas towards the end of 2021

[@husky2297]

Great video mate, this is a bit of a random one but what's the scoff like at Clive Barracks?

[@Rangermedia]

Cheers mate and 😂 . What I’ll say it’s extremely cheap in the cookhouse which will reflect in quality. Civilian ran company!! There are kitchens in the accommodation so most lads have breakfast and lunch self made.

[@matthewfisher8602]

Anyone got their start date at ITC Catterick on the 20th September for the Rifles?

[@liam_o_c_perks]

I had no idea about the fact of applying for mortgage to buy a house off the Army! 😮

[@TheHammerOfRogues]

Hey man, quick question, what's the difference between Armoured and Mechanised infantry? Apart from the vehicles.

[@joeplays2288]

great video just what I needed - thinking about going to sandhurst in sept next year. Anyone have any idea when the ranger day competition is actually happening ?

[@Rangermedia]

Which Ranger day competition? Happy days Sandhurst will be a great experience the Worlds premiership Leadership Academy 💪

[@joeplays2288]

Ranger Media the poster you said you were giving away on Facebook of the sniper just wondering how to enter

[@Rangermedia]

It was done and sent away mate, but more will come in the future. I’m also in the process of getting a website built where prints can be purchased.

[@joemckevitt9319]

I'm thinking of joining the royal irish, I'm I 're join and was previously in the rifles. Was wondering what it's like for the brits in an Irish regiment? If appreciate any response

[@Rangermedia]

UFC casual #1 This question comes up a lot and honestly there are no problems with it at all. There are Rangers serving from all over the UK serving in the Regiment. So all good mate 🤟🏻

[@joemckevitt9319]

Lovely thanks for the reply. Another quick one of you can..what's the accommodation like? Is it single rooms or shared ?

[@Rangermedia]

UFC casual #1 shared rooms initially but when you promote you will moved into single rooms. The shared rooms have divides in them.

[@joemckevitt9319]

Rodger. Cheers for the helm luke, hopefully see you soon hahah

[@Rangermedia]

No problems at all mate, good luck and if you need anything you know where I am 💪

[@thomaswalker700]

From your side is it hard to transfer from raf to the infantry? seems like the Raf staff arnt keen on allowing it.

[@samueljoseph8301]

Say if a corporal wants to demoted themselves for whatever reason. Is that possible? And would you lose your corporal salary pay for it?

[@archie7027]

Bit of an unrelated question but one that bugs me. If a British Soldier was to encounter an American Officer would the British Soldier do the palms facing outwards normal salute or would they perform the American palms down facing salute?

[@connorlee5873]

You would do what is your custom so as the person is in the british army hed do palms up

[@matchdayvlogger7318]

What regiment in the British army has the best transfer to normal jobs after you have finished

[@nathandawson3934]

Is there anyway we can ask you questions via email or anything about the army?

I’ve been researching roles in the army, and am struggling to decide between Infantry officer and Regular Officer. Does anyone know some key differences between the roles? If so, you’d be a huge help, thanks!

[@Rangermedia]

Completely down to what role you want, either or you will still lead soldiers. Infantry will specialise in combat and everything that surrounds it.

Ranger Media Awesome mate, just the answer I wanted. I’m interested in warfare and combat so based on that one think infantry is the way to go. 👍🏼 many thanks

[@Rangermedia]

Moustache? Mustang No problems at all mate good luck.

[@backtoeden853]

Where can I find a list of available armed forces courses online... or am I best off emailing the regiment or battalion and asking ?

Hey mate, just wondering what's your opinion on joining the army as an older recruit. I'm 28 and I want to join, preferably in a combat role (I applied 4 years ago but got medically rejected and had to wait 4 years until I could reapply).

Thinking of joining the British Army in 2020? So are you just looking for a job on a base somewhere or do you actually want to get stuck in. I'll give you a clue, nobody survives combat. Nobody enjoys being shot at, when the adrenaline's burnt it's burnt. Gone. Wasted.
