As an ex Solider served 12 years got out 21 years ago ,the way you get trained is different from my time but the advice is still up to date ….you’ve got 2 eyes , 2 ears ,1 brain & 1 mouth ….look/watch ,listen ,think before speaking, your training staff are not there to fail or trip you up they are there to bring you all to a standard, at the end of phase 1 they can say yes this is a trained solider that I’d be happy to have beside me in a war zone , Phase 2 trade training will be slightly tougher fitness wise . Best advice I can give anyone only open your mouth to breath or eat/drink , last bit of advice …sit back and enjoy the ride because your about to go on a emotional rollercoaster,your going to find out a lot about yourself ,they’ll be times when you’ll be at your lowest physically and emotionally push through it as at the end of it you’ll be the fittest and emotional strongest you’ve ever been in your life . Good luck to all that are joining, my biggest mistake was getting out still regret now .👍

Someone under 30 who is not me,me,me. All the best, and in the U.K. military you meet the best of people, and in some cases the worst of people. I was once on exercise with US Army, and was humbled by those who are deeply religious in their military, which is far more common, than U.K . Forces.

If anybody is waiting to join the British Army, buy yourself copy of the Soldiers Pocket Book. It has been going for over thirty years, and updated yearly. My old copy has the e mail address www.milpkbk.co.u.k I think it costs well under ten pounds, and due its small size fits in combat jacket top pocket. Covers. Military Law, Fieldcraft, First Aid,Signals, weapons. Map reading, Physical Training, Adventurous Training, and more. Hope this helps.
