my app gets reviewed one more time at the end of this month, had a nightmare due to some issues on my med record and was deferred from september last year. just need to goto my gp once more and get cleared for my knee then i should be able to go back up to glencorse and do my bleep test (ive done the ball throw: 5m - and the thigh pull: 190kg). gunna start training again now so i should be sorted for when i can go back up. on the plus side at least i didnt have to get beasted during the winter on phase 1😆

I am a Commonwealth country citizen. Does stretch mark on shoulder make any issue for joining british military?

[@maxshowler]

No you’ll be fine

I know you haven't uploaded in a while but I'm commenting in case you check, I begin phase 1 basic training in Pirbright in march and frankly I'm crapping myself, is everyone else as nervous as me? I feel underprepared despite training a ton and even though I have researched it I feel like it will be very different. Hope you're doing well man sad to see no uploads this year

[@LiamThomson-tq3uv]

It’s nothing to worry about mate, worst thing you can do is over think. Everything is slow pace at first and it’s designed to be passed. All the best

[@hyfive2111]

@LiamThomson-tq3uv alright, thank you a lot man, i cant wait but its going to be way out my comfort zone

Have you got any advice about assessment centre?? I’ve just applied for infantry but I can’t do a push up. My running sit ups and everything is fine I just can’t do a push up and how did u train??

[@LiamThomson-tq3uv]

@@P1xqrto be honest you don’t do press ups and sit ups on selection, so I wouldn’t worry

[@siegesquadd4184]

Do you get double pay throughout the period or a bonus ?

[@KyleSmithFIT]

Haha nope, joys of being in the military

[@coreystephens934]

Hey man I’ve got my assessment in pirbright in a week and 1 day, I’ve researched dog handling as it’s my first choice but have found many different answers, and now I’m panicking as this has been a dream of mine and really do not want to screw it up is there any advice at all you could give me or websites that have the true info, also I’ve watched many of your bleep test videos and has helped majorly so thanks a lot bud👍🏼

[@KyleSmithFIT]

Hey, mate just learn the basics where you will go for phase 1 and phase 2 training, some of things you will do in training. Learn the army core values “CDRILS”. The rest of it will be more questions that you can answer pretty easy, like “why do you want to join the army?” Also, dog handler is a specialist role that do not have many intakes a year, I would be prepared to have to wait a long time to get in and possibly have a back up.

[@coreystephens934]

@@KyleSmithFIT thanks a lot for that mate, I’ll try my best and hope I do, I’ve been thinking about other choices as I want to be busy and always have something to do so maybe infantry is a good shout I appreciate you getting back to me thanks

[@coreystephens934]

@@KyleSmithFITjust thought I’d let you know I passed my assessment in glencourse and got the dog handler role I start basic on 3rd of December so plenty of enough time to go for runs around lanes and off-road etc so I’m prepared

Far too much heavy drinking in the Army leads to lot of problems for some!
