Hi, excuse me begin naive, I've always wondered if there was a way to sign up to do all the training and then be sent off on a tour, I would like to go on tour and serve my country, I dont want to join and wait around going to gym and doing training for years to then leave ( i dont mean that in a disrespectful manner as it may not be that way ) I dont want to be disrespectful asking this as am unsure how the system works but would there be a way to be almost drafted to the front lines (even tho I understand there isn't much deployment at the moment) after completing training in other words?

[@glenglen9855]

Not being funny you are sat here giving all this people information, let's be honest you are a capt at ITC. What have you done in your 5 years in the army!!! I can guess nothing at all, you are doing this just to look good for your Sjar!!

Not once has he said I can’t do this, or I want to come home, it’s what he’s always wanted and I’m 100% behind him. I’m so happy as a Mum that he said he feels at home in Catterick.

I used to watch the videos of British boot camp like "Wait, where's the hazing?? Where's the abuse? Where's the threatening to screw his girlfriend and not allow him to graduate??" Then, I served with you guys and the British guys showed that they were very capable warfighters. Even though we went through a lot of tough times in the field, we had so much damn fun. The Brits love to get drunk and have fun at the bar. Every time we did a joint training exercise we would have such a blast at the bars and yall randomly break out in a song. That was the most hilarious thing to me. I would be sitting there like "How the hell did they memorize all these lyrics???" Lmaooo. I love you guys. Shout out to you guys in the British Armed Forces. Yall have a very capable military and any rogue power would be stupid to mess with you guys. Absolutely amazing group of men and women to serve with and great dedication to being excellent at what you do. Shout out from the USA brothers

Interesting. My late father had many postings and 'jobs' within the REME circa '56 to '86. He was told by his civvy boss he should join up for some man-management training so, as opposed to choosing a trade, he went RD because he wasn't seeking to cut out a career in the Army but thirty years later he was a Major (OC TRG BTN & DEPOT REME). They were based in Arborfield. I worked in SEE and my mother was the Chief Clerk of 45 SQN RCT - before they all amalgamated into the RLC or the 'Really Large Corps'! Thank you for sharing this video - I had been watching a KZbin reboot of all the Lads/Bad Lads Army which led me here.

Hey wanted to ask i sent back my medical forms however i have mild allergies will this stop me from moving on to the next stage🥺 please reply

[@djrxp]

Hi Sara - I am not a doctor but if they are mild I am sure you will be fine. Best thing is to call and ask your Candidate Support Manager who can talk you through it. Good luck!

Pretty sure if you’ve got a nut allergy they might not due to rations. Unless it’s changed ofc.

I watched a video on US drill camp, and then I watched this. Seeing my country treat their army properly puts a smile on my face. I mean, the world should stop needing millitaries, but i am pointing out the difference.

Best thing would be to call your candidate support manager. They should be able to give you a timeframe on these things. I wouldn't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine

This is to all those wanting to join. If you are a clean person, organised, healthy and work great as a part of a team showing responsibility, leadership skills and can handle pressure in any situation. Then you'll pass without any problems. If you are just the opposite then you will have issues.;)
