Leaving the Army Update | Mental Health Struggles

[@RyanForrest1664]

I never thought I’d end up full time on KZbin since leaving the marines but it’s worked out! Take the leap of faith buddy! Good luck

[@CombatReadyHQ]

I bet mate but it's awesome to see bro, thank you will do mate

[@kayamac3]

@ Gen Dit Commando amazing how fast your channel grows

[@Sandy-rn1et]

I relate to a lot of this in the process I went through in moving country!

[@ffudon]

The forces can offer amazing opportunities, but there is certainly a life outside - good luck, excited for you 💪🇬🇧

[@CombatReadyHQ]

Yes exactly that and you just need to remind yourself of that. Thank you

[@ShaunPettigrew]

Great news on the job offer mate. Excited to hear more about it!

[@CombatReadyHQ]

Thank you mate

You had a good run in the army and it is the right time to get out and start enjoying other things outside.

[@maestegenduro]

Been in and out twice mate. Had my own business that went tits up. Got back in, but in hindsight should have grounded it out. You will be fine out there mate, be hard to adapt to actually having to work though 😂😂 no naffi breaks or ski trips to val de sere. But you have control over your own decisions. Wish you all the best mate I'm sure you can smash KZbin as well

[@CombatReadyHQ]

Ah mate fair one sorry to hear that, but you've had a mega career, yeah I just need to keep working hard and get used to working more 😂fingers crossed KZbin continues to grow

24 years completed last year! Left the Infantry. Thought I was pretty institutionalised! Turns out: Yes and No! Decided that being a full blown civilian wasn’t really for me, so surrounded myself with other veterans! No brainier for me! Still travelling around the world, which was my favourite part of being in the Army, and with like minded individuals. It’s taken from leaving till now to shake my proper Army mentality: grew a beard for the first time in all that time! I get up a bit later than normal! No uniform! I joined the reserves, but have made the decision just to break away now! Great advice mate, keep up these kind of videos. It’s good to see some level headed “7 Ps” for getting out and maintaining fitness and mental well-being for soldiers and wider military to take on board and thrive on leaving. 👍

[@CombatReadyHQ]

Thank you 🙏

When leaving the army I had to do no signitures. Didn't have to hand back kit. Anything. Fast forward 3 months and my SSM emailed me asking for the kit back. I politely said if you want this kit back please drive to north Scotland to collect.

[@CombatReadyHQ]

Oh wow really haha, yeah I would say the same

[@KingSloth]

@@CombatReadyHQ So now I have all my army kit stored in my garage aswell as all my new RAF kit. What has life come to ?

[@CombatReadyHQ]

@@KingSlothnot too much kit then 😂

[@KingSloth]

@@CombatReadyHQ When I asked the RAF when I get my webbing they just stared at me like 👀

[@CombatReadyHQ]

@@KingSloth like who the fuck is this guy and what is webbing

[@callumsheldon1759]

Hi mate I go to Harrogate in march and I have zero GCSEs, Will I be able to get English and maths and get a level 3 qualification from the army as I want to do police afterwards?

[@CombatReadyHQ]

Yes its possible to get level 3 in English and maths if you do the work for it

[@l0rdcroissant]

I think it's an incredible great bubble compared to those that make being in higher education never leaving schooling and close mind arrogantly thinking they know how the real world runs lol. I can't understand why they make it extremely hard to leave when they have all the files at their finger tips to support, yes he wants to leave, I know it's because he's too well trained and skilled to let go damn it! lol I truly hope you will be one that has a room that is like a shrine of your journey in a great chapter of life. maybe create your own security academy company offering top training :D
