Good to see you posting again, mate! I left last year and it was the best decision I’d made. A lot of people in the army live in a bubble and try using scaremonger tactics to deter you from leaving

[@CombatReadyHQ]

Thank you mate. It’s great to see such a good response to me posting again. Yeah they do and it’s unfair

[@Theaggressivesalad]

I have 2 weeks left in kit before I begin my resettlement/terminal leave after 8 1/2 years. Have a job lined up and all of that. Absolutely bricking it but buzzing for it at the same time! Overall I've enjoyed my time and done a lot of the stuff I wanted to do but I cannot justify staying when there's no deployments, no chances to use my trade and no worthwhile work other than endless bone jobs whilst I'm half a country away from home. If it's just more of the this on the menu I cannot continue to put every other part of my life on hold for no good reason.

[@pjmoseley243]

I just started reading your posts and find it quite interesting. I joined age 15 in 1964 and left age 27. Many people did try to encourage me to stay on but once I had made my mind up I went.

[@drlunow]

Great seeing you again and updating your journey. It is a steep learning curve finding new norms and schedules. Glad to see you doing so well. Please keep posting. Peace.

[@CombatReadyHQ]

Hey, thank you 🙏 and yes this should be me back to regular posting now

[@lewistivey]

Thank you for this video. I’m leaving in a few days and I’m really apprehensive about civvy street, but this video made me feel better.

[@Clutchtheclownz]

Been a while since ive seen one of your videos i took some running advice tips from you about 2 years ago. My asthma was pretty bad and my quality of life wasnt good, after following the training of doing intervals one week on and one week distance running. I eventually got to a level of fitness where doctors are suprised by my resting heart rate. I hope you keep putting out great fitness content it really helped me when I needed it most even though I wasnt joining the army.

[@CombatReadyHQ]

Ah it’s great seeing comments like this, it’s so good to know that the videos have helped this much! It’s great to hear you’ve improved so much. Keep it up

[@stevengrist5182]

Could you please do a video on options for your average soldier on civvy street ? For example job options and courses that are good to do before leaving

[@richielamb2733]

First couple of years of transition from the green machine to civ div is the hardest mate , got out in 1999 after serving 12 years …..first 18 months i I had loads of regrets even to the point of trying to rejoin , now do l have regrets ? Answer to that is no , I don’t miss it one bit BUT I miss the people I served with , civ div is on a totally different level to us , you can take the man out the Army never take the Army out the man 😉

[@CombatReadyHQ]

That’s exactly and the best way to put it, I don’t miss the military but I do miss the people I was with

[@user-he4tc2sq6m]

[@m1dnightprime835]

Unrelated but I am worrying about my fitness for the AC do you have anything to help me

[@DCO-3447]

I'm out the door 10:30 and I'm not back till 00:10 it does take a lot of getting used to

[@Robloxgamer-ol9iw]

Your finnaly back

[@CombatReadyHQ]

Yes I am 🤟💪🏼

[@austinshannon4197]

Well the real question is does general Cornwallis regret surrendering to the American rebel patriots at Yorktown? When the French navy defeated the best in the world, British navy the French blocked the British way of leaving so therefore they were stuck behind American and French cannon fire. They were basically forced to surrender.

[@raymondsawyer8626]

Looking back you tend too look through rose tinted glasses , but now I wish I could go back in time

[@wisdomlettu]

@Craig . I’m an African and I have applied to join the commonwealth role in the UK Army..

[@CombatReadyHQ]

Nice one, best of luck and hope all goes well

[@Mattbriggs85]

How you thought of doing the reserves?

[@CombatReadyHQ]

I am apart of the reserves but I’ve never attended not had the time really and honestly I just don’t want to, I think I’m done with it all

[@Mattbriggs85]

@Craig Hollman I can imagine it's hard to juggle both. Kudos on your transition. So, are you going to transition the channel or keep the same format?

[@hamzaahmed2691]

Hi Craig, I hope you're well. Good to see you again :) So I finally received my assessment date for the Royal Army. Just e

[@CombatReadyHQ]

Hi congrats on getting an assessment date. Keep training and best of luck

[@hamzaahmed2691]

@@CombatReadyHQ Hey. That comment didn't post completely. Just wanted to know if the Infantry is worth joining at the age of 28. I heard promotions are a lot slower in the Infantry.

[@hamzaahmed2691]

@@CombatReadyHQ got no other options as a commonwealth applicant at the moment.

[@Heretican]

You never thought about joining the Reserves? Many Regulars I've spoken to that joined say they prefer Reserves

[@CombatReadyHQ]

I am I have just never attended

How do you mean pension trapped?

[@rosemariebation9772]

[@Intvictus]

I have no regrets leaving the army after seeing what it's turned into

[@harveygray7633]

What do you mean by that ?

[@KenzieDunne]

@@harveygray7633 LGBTQ, and all these new rules and regulations

[@harveygray7633]

@@KenzieDunne what new rules and what about LGBTQ. Also you don’t look old enough to have been in and then back out of the army 😂

Lad could have just made this a couple minute vid and said no you don’t regret leaving 🤣🤣

[@WillHoward2002]

One of the main things i notice when guys leave the Army is, they grow a beard🤣.

[@CombatReadyHQ]

Yeah the standard thing to do lol

[@lewistivey]

I leave in 2 days and I’m gonna have a “Jesus phase” as I keep telling my fiancé 😂
