The British one was almost like a game or movie trailer. The atmosphere, camerawork, and narration were so professionally and carefully crafted. The Norwegian one was pretty funny. Maybe it's the same in all the Nordic countries, but from time to time it seems like lots of people forget that the defence forces exist so that nothing would happen. Kind of like you'd pay insurance fees all your life, but if you are lucky, you never need to contact the insurance company. Or you could say firefighters would be happy professionals if they never needed to put their skills to a real test.

The Royal Marine ads, as a Brit, I remember them playing in the Cinema (movie theater) before the actual movie... a dark room, with massive surround sound... it makes everyone jump. That one you showed at around 4 minutes is actually quite tame; the most jumpy one is the Commando wading through the swamp, comes across this dirty-looking member of some militia (?) - draws on him, then lowers his rifle, 10 Marine Commandos pop out of pure camouflage and then they rush the screen which is where everyone jumps. Check it out if you can! Great video dude!

[@Julliusization]

Really enjoyed this video! I strongly agree with you one the one of the Royal Marines and the Norwegian army. It's very out of the box and surprising to watch the army from this kind of perspective. The British were good because of the darkness and ominous situation that is set here, though the Norwegian one touched me. There was once a quote "A soldier fight's because he doesn't hate what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him." that really fits so beautifully with the advertising. This really made me think and look differently at the recruitment videos and how they can contribute to our values. I was already appreciating them, but this made me do that even more. Thank you very much for reacting :)

[@CombatArmsChannel]

For sure, it's always dope to see the effort made for these videos and seeing what approach they take with them

yeh in the 80's the uk armed forces adverts were more about recruiting from a wide audience, they would show many fields of training like cooks mechanics, engineers, as well as soldiers and airforce personel, even logistics and communications, it was all about getting a larger induction than they needed to have better choices in those they would keep.

[@matthewgill8332]

With the CAF, I think the general commercial makes a lot of sense because it's supposed to be one combined entity, consisting of the RCAF, RCN, and Army. Everyone goes through the same initial 13 week boot camp before moving onto their advanced training, similar to how the USMC does it. So for example, if you enlist as a Medical Technician (medic), you can choose Army, Navy, or Airforce. and no matter what you choose, you get the initial 13 week basic course consisting of PT, marksmanship, basic land skills, etc before moving onto your RCAF or RCN training.

The idea behind the CAF ad and why you saw all branches represented in the one commercial is that when you do your Basic Military Qualification (referred by others as bootcamp) is that the BMQ isn't just specifically for one branch, all the branches are training together in the province of Quebec. After BMQ, they split up to train on their respective occupation whether it'd aviation, infantry, boatswain, etc. It might not be the official reason, but it's a probable reason as to why the ad was set up that way.
