The proudest of servicemen --- these men join the British army for the pride of being a Gurkha soldier, pride for themselves, their families and their history.

It was still bad. If you start to let off your guard commander for small things like these then when will it stop? Maybe my time’s standard was higher than yours but assuming you joined in 2000 or in 05, my generation would have been senior SNCO’s or Majors/Lt Colonels. But still standards and standards and that’s why it’s the British Army.

Gurkhas march far way better than those foot guards
@AtheAetheling3 жыл бұрын
Its light infantry drill. The foot guard drill is more of a swagger. There isnt really a better, it's just different. You will notice that the Gurkhas switch to the swagger too at certain points.

Why do some members of the band look overweight? I thought everyone in the army had to be fit? It sort of looks bad for the real Gurkhas following behind.
@AtheAetheling3 жыл бұрын
They have to pass soldier fitness tests, but for bandsmen it's sort of different. Big lungs and stamina help a great deal for certain instruments. I agree with you in that I am not terribly fond of how it looks, but its deceptive.

@MrTherealpad - what people fail to realise is that the Gurka regiments have to learn two types of drill, standard quick march drill when they're marching with traditional soldiers, and double quick march drill when they're marching as a gurka regiment. Very impressive.
