You mention about gym facilities.. I’ve never know a military gym to be open 24/7.. civvi street gyms are open 365 24/7.. also you are not forced to do excessive amounts of load carrying.. something that destroys your back and knees.. mmmmm go brainer guys

[@zainali-lm4zr]

One thing i don't understand is why recruitment takes long. The military should be making it easy for people to join immediately, instead of making them wait

[@gokulraghav2610]

Hey Sam what about the commonwealth country candidates??

[@georgeanim3935]

Once u pass and in the army... You are entitled to all listed benefits

Good evening sir , please I applied from Commonwealth and during my Visa application process I got denied and the army locked my portal but on my re application of the Visa , it has now been granted. Please how do I get to reactivate my portal and get a new assessment date . Thank you

I am not going to advise flying to the UK but you should do what feels right for you.

Can you please tell how much a recruite gets monthly after every deduction during basic training?

[@MilitaryFitness]

I think around 1200

[@yaadiwah1168]

@MilitaryFitness oh ok... one more thing I need clarification on. Please, I'm starting basic training this month. I noticed in one of my letters that I won't be paid this month because of joining after 11th day. I want to know since I won't get paid this month,will it be added to next month(subsequent)pay?Thank you

[@amad7534]

Are there other ways in the army to make money other than the salary offered? Like financial rewards for partaking in extra work activities? I’d be taking a pay cut to join the army so was wondering if any such thing exists

[@isaacpowers368]

There are 4 bands of pay at each rank depending on job type , if you aim for a niche important job you can be in the top class of pay or a higher class , certain quals pay more if you can pass the courses , for instance the royal engineer army diver course offers you up to I think 800 quid a month extra if you can get to dive superviser I believe , but this is hard to do , joining the army isn’t about the pay though I would say , if pay is your main concern then maybe it’s not for you

[@floisynyangau1188]

I agree with you sir ​@@isaacpowers368

Theres nothing out there why not join the army it give you fitness disaplin a trade give you real friendship the time who would laid down there life for you and you them its all a plus you go in a kid and come out a respected adult ,with respect for others and most importantly your self ,plus you will have a trade

I wish George Washington was still alive so I could ask him how his time in the British Army was. George Washington was the first president of the United States. He was the commander in chief of the American continental army that fought against the British Army and eventually forced the British army to surrender at Yorktown.

[@MilitaryFitness]

Me too

[@YorkshireNachteinbruch]

If he was alive he’d bury himself again if he looked at America today

Look at the benefits for not joining the British army.. I.e better pay. Better leadership training.. better opportunities to get better paid jobs overseas.. believe me after serving I wish I’d done my apprenticeship on civvi street..

@@ryanredmond5559 ?? Please justify your comments.. I clearly stated that if I didn’t join the military I’d be doing what I’m doing now way before if I’d never joined… the benefits I have now by far supersede what the army ever offered me.. the time I have with family by far exceeds what the army ever offered me… the training I’ve got and tools that I have by far supersede what I ever got from the military… so yeah I guess the army was the easy choice.. join the army sit on your ass and let the fruits flourish

@@Sophyx93 and this is why the military as a retention / recruitment problem.. if they can’t treat new recruits with dignity and respect.. then there is no hope for the ones that are still in.. you did the right thing getting out.. videos like this promoting the healthy side of the military are pure conspiracy theory… do the research yourself.. it’s sad that you had to go thru this experience.. maybe this guy posting this content needs to be more aware of the current state of recruitment and retention and the on going court cases in the UK..

@@garydonoghue4565 yea they made me feel like it was my fault. Kept telling me I didn't need money because I was there. Gave up all my work for them. They tried to say it was an issue with my service number but then they admitted they've had many leave due to not getting paid for months. They kept me there a week before I could go home and no one spoke to me. I definitely feel anything bad about the military gets hushed. Then they told me they didn't need me anyway because they have new people coming in every two weeks but I saw many leave too.

So they make people redundant if they ain’t doing their job hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahah.. BS they laid off a shit ton of guys with trades saying that they were over manned.. then a month later they were giving out stupid amounts of money for all these guys to come back and do 3 years return of service.. or the navy almost offering up to $50,000 to train ex army guys and giving them instant promotion up to petty officer… the MOD is a fucking embarrassment..
