If you're referring to pre recruit training course, its not pass or fail mate and will most likely be two days if you've got all the relevant certificates (GCSE/Functional skills). You do a fitness test on the Wednesday, level 9.10 on the bleep test, easy if you train for it, 20 pressups in a minute and 35 situps in a minute, again both easy if you prepare for it. My advice would be to turn up dressed smart, don't fidget when you're stood outside and only speak to corporals when they speak to you or when you have a question. If you've got your certificates you'll go home around 3PM Thursday

All these old timers saying “snowflakes” or “if that was in my day I would’ve been told to fuck off and got punched”. Times unfortunately change and the generation we are currently in mental health being a large killer of both males and females. Basic training is still hard nobody can deny that, me being through it myself and not really bothered about the words or physical punishment used against me can still safely say that it is hard. Regardless of whether or not it’s gone soft as some may say, having the ambition and motivation to get through basic and out your comfort zone is as hard as it can get for some people.

Did my basic training at Pirbright when it was the guards depot and it was hell on earth that was 1986 . I know times have changed but can't believe how soft the training regime has become . All the instructors and even kitchen staff were horrible to you, you never got a second spare to do anything and if you weren't marching you were running or cleaning kit, but like I say society has changed but I don't know if it is for the better . When you went to scoff you had to march with your kfs behind your back along Adair walk and nco,s were spaced all the way down and used to rift you if you werent sharp enough. The timings were tight and sometimes you no sooner got your scoff than your platoon staff would come screaming at you outside outside before you had time to eat it, result not enough calories and weakness on the runs usually resulting in lads jacking in . I lost a stone in the first week and I was only skinny to start with . Out of my intake only 25 per cent passed out . I always thought the training was too harsh and got rid of some lads who would have made good soldiers , it all depended on your ability to handle the bullshit .

Those seeking a military life should be aware that the nearest Legion recruiting post (P.I.L.E) is in the city of Lille. The first contract is 5 years, if you pass the selection process and finish basic to become a Legionaire. But be warned no safe spaces, "counseling" consists of a kick where the sun don't shine and no you can't keep your Teddy Bear.

Have you done any recent tours to Africa or Cyprus? I'm unsure if the American tour is still on. I looked at joining or even joining the reserves and the hard parts haven't put me off but the little petty things such as shaving everyday and getting a my hair cut very short on top. It may seem silly to you because you are used to it and joined a while ago but they really put me off, especially the shaving. I know it has put quite a few people off joining the reserves because it affects their outside daily lives.

[@leeboocock8013]

@@stretfordender11 no tours to africa or cyprus, this all depends on what trade your going and the current operations/exercises. Im a port operator in the rlc so 6 month in the falklands, port task groups to the likes of.... Croatia Kenya Diego garcia Usa Norway Brunei Loads of places are more common. Regarding shaving, yes we have to do it unless your following a certain religion that forbids cutting hair. Lastly whatever you can hide under a beret is yours, the side and back of your head has to be neat....i.e. short and neck shave. Don't let something so small put you off achieving something big, best of luck whatever you decide.

[@stretfordender11]

@@leeboocock8013 That's interesting as I didn't think they did that many different places. I may look at it. I did look at the officer roles but I watched a video of Sandhurst and it looked a good place to go but the upper class nature of it has made me look at the normal roles. You've convinced me with the hair point. If I don't have to take all the top off, I have my hair like that anyway so that would be all good. The shaving however still a bit iffy with. I've had a beard for 7 years and never really lived without one as an adult. You'd think they would change it in the modern era, especially as they have rules with sound very discriminatory. Why isn't it the same for everyone?

To all who running off their mouths how soft that is and no swear words and bla bla bla.... don’t jump to conclusions as you just judging by one video and which is just a shrapnel of the entire training, so just save your negativity and false conclusions to yourselves; also this particular video just showing the INDUCTION TO THE GYM, not the entire basic training and not week 14! Fair enough it became different if compared to the 50s, 60s 70s etc but so would the recruits from the 50s judge the training of the 90s that the 90s recruits seem to describe as have been hard and tough and brutal and bla bla bla! Furthermore there are plenty of videos on this channel showing the decent output standards of enlisted soldiers. So please don’t make yourselves look stupid as again you judging the entire training and output standards by one induction to the gym video!

I've even seen videos of United States military basic training today and it is so much easier than when I went in in 1978. I was a Paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division from 89-92. I loved every single day of it. I retired from the reserves as a SSG. I hope you have a better day tomorrow. AATW!!!!!
