New Gurkha engineers find out which roles they'll serve in British Army

The newest members of the Queen's Gurkha Engineers have just found out exactly how they'll be spending their time in the British Army.
Draughtsmen, drivers, bricklayers, concreters, plumbers, welders and even air conditioning fitters - the Army needs them all.
But the question is, who should be what? That's where trade selection tests come in.

These people are not servants. The Gerkhas are a valuable part of the British army. A valuable resource.

They serve and are paid for by the tax payers, Hence servants to the people, The King is a servant to the Crown. You are confusing what servant means.

As a native British person I'm extremely proud of the Gurkhas, I lived with some and they are exactly as people say, polite and honourable.

[@SteveBlues87]

Legends, every single one of them. No complaining, no whining, just get on with it and give 100% effort.

[@hithere3035]

We are lucky to have these guys. The fact they are willing to put their life on the line for a country they were not born in (maybe not all) is admirable. The fact they are such elite soldiers and take it so seriously too. Nothing but respect for the Gurkhas, a real asset to the British Army.

[@stever456]

I’ve seen the mountain they run up as part of the entry tests as it’s behind my Gurkha friends house in Pokhara. Terrifying 😂👍 complete nuts, the effort they put in to join is massive. All I had to do when I was 17 was a medical and to sign some paperwork 🙄 wish I had now 😣 I’ve seen them training in groups running through pollution in Kathmandu, they put so much effort in its unreal. And I only saw a little in passing let alone anything East Nepal. Thulo respect Gurkha ko laggi. Tell them all that and they will be happy👍🇳🇵🇬🇧

[@laniVargas-iy3lg]

Some British dnot want to joined in military ..why they are scared and coward to defence your country into Islamic terrorist and criminal…someday if your country faces in trouble …some of people joined in rallies and social media to defence the criminal and terrorist..look the Israeli citizen…male and female ..any religious they are in military to serve and protect the country..

[@jasonbeadle5930]

Top quality these men.

[@donnicolls8257]

The process they have to go through to get recruited is tough enough. On top of that for some reason they are expected to achieve more than any others - and they do. I have nothing but admiration for them.

[@charlie4739]

They will be Brilliant Soldiers , and serve with Honour and Pride. Thank you

[@DRUMNERD]

Most of our in country population would do well to adopt some of the Gurkha mentality and pride. These are the finest of the fine, absolute respect for them all.

[@jasonthewatchmansson8873]

Gurkhas are known throughout the world as the very best. Even if you don't get your preferred track, it's still a great honor to be a part of the Gurkhas.

I'm biased, there is no more worthy discipline to pursue than engineering. Engineers make things happen in all facets of life.

[@arthurwatts1680]

I guess it's very different now, but when I served in RAEME here in Oz back in the 1980s and early 90s, our Corps was responsible for the majority of technical trades. I get that a Gurkha regiment needs to be self-sufficient but I assume that trade training for these young soldiers will take place at REME units - at the end of the day, they are soldiers first and tradesmen second. Kudos to the British Armed Forces for realizing what a magnificent resource they had in the Gurkha Regiment.

[@weeddegree]

[@gutz323]

Polite, well manerred gentlemen in peace-time. Stone cold killerrs in combat. If you are an enemy insurgent, and you know the British Royal Gerkhas are on your case, you best run, because surrendering is not an option. Whenever British Special Forces need some infantry on a mission, the B-R-G are the no.1 choice. These brave men deserve far more from the British Government when they retire than what they get currently. Most have a full, long army career, but they dont get equal pensions, compared to British born career soldiers. It is discusting how they are treated.
