[@georgemorley1029]

If you have the type of character that will commit itself entirely to doing what is necessary, then you can succeed at any task you want to achieve. This is the aim of military training. By removing any undesirable character traits of the recruit, by breaking people’s natures down, any old doubts and fears of that person die along with their old character. All that is left is your training and with that comes the confidence and the belief that you can and will meet any challenges you face. It’s profound. Well done to you, Guy.

What a blast from the past this was for me (mid-80's). I did the trainasium 4 times from between the ages of 16 to 18, and really didn't think much of it. It was just another shitty day of getting shouted at in the drizzle. I don't recall seeing those safety nets at 0:27 either. Might be wrong? I think I would be shitting myself if I had to do it now. The worst one I did was the 'Confidence course' at Sandhurst, and in particular, the high parallel bars! You had to stand on them then look dirictly up, whilst shouting your name, rank & number. THAT was scary, as you lose balance when you look up. Your reward was an epic zipline ride across the lake to finish, with Staff throwing thunderflashes into the lake under you. Real Rambo stuff!

I bet if this whole structure was maybe a meter above the ground it'd probably be like a child's playground but being 6 stories up with a bunch of guys yelling at you probably fucks with your mind pretty badly

[@francessweeney2308]

Guy looked totally overwhelmed by the tough treatment he received from the seargant major and his selection team. Not suprising looking at the trainesium; an assault course 6 storeys off the ground. The risks he took performing the selection were horrendous; broken bones and potentially death from a broken neck should he fall. He then went through 'combat innoculation': a process where instructors tell the recruits to sprint then shout "grenade!!", the recruit must then drop and crawl before sprinting to a tyre obstacle and being pushed under it, through it 3-4 times before a boxing match to see if he could show controlled aggression.
