Recruit School | How New Reenactors are Trained

[@BrandonF]

Having regular drill events with dedicated membership outside of events is so important to putting on a good show. Thanks for the video!

[@HM10thFoot]

Brandon, you are welcome! We couldn’t agree more. Will you make it out to Patrjots day this year? Hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching!

[@BrandonF]

@@HM10thFoot I am afraid not- but looking forward to any videos about it! Hope you all have a great time at the events.

When I was a civil war reenactmenter we went by a funeral once and our col. Didn’t know what to do so he just told us to remove our hats. Later I learned the correct order would have been reverse arm which was the sign of respect for a funeral

[@HM10thFoot]

Yes, this is something our regiment does as well! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed!

As someone helping in training some new rev war reenactors. You do it much better then us

[@HM10thFoot]

We truly appreciate the comment though we’re sure you do just fine. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching!

[@HM10thFoot]

Enjoy this video in 4k. This could be you! These new recruits you just watched are now fully trained and about to fire for the first time at Battle Road next weekend!

[@Closetvr]

This is a nice training video!

[@Soldier-Cat]

I live only an hour away from the headquarters, I’m def looking into participating I would love to learn history this way

[@HM10thFoot]

We would love to have you! Email us at [e-mail] and we can get you forwarded to the right people!

[@Soldier-Cat]

@@HM10thFoot I’ll def do that when I can, thank you 😄. I’m hoping I’m not too busy with everything happening in my life rn 😅, graduating and stuff

[@eugene4270]

Awesome!

[@HM10thFoot]

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!

[@Spirited_Phoenix]

Ahh, wish I was in your area to visit! There isn't much I can do Rev War reenacting wise in TN that I know of, and even less so as a girl who hates dresses/would want to be a soldier (Deborah Sampson, anyone?) 😹 so I love watching your videos.

[@HM10thFoot]

Hi there! We would welcome you if you were ever up North! There may be some Rev War units in your area. Some units (us included) also allow women to portray male soldiers!

[@Spirited_Phoenix]

@@HM10thFoot I'll have to make a trip someday to say hello! I'll have to see what I can find down here in the meantime. Really appreciate seeing you guys letting women join in as soldiers!

[@alexengland5528]

There is a unit at Fort Loudon near Knoxville,Tn with monthly garrisons and I believe they allow females to portray soldiers

[@Spirited_Phoenix]

@@alexengland5528 Thank ye for the suggestion! I actually /have/ been been there and spoke to a ranger briefly and they mentioned a female ranger being a soldier... but life got insane so I haven't been able to get back in months. *sad sigh*

[@SirFrederick]

Man it's been ages since I was a recruit.

[@HM10thFoot]

We were all there once! Hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching!

[@NickWood07]

Top stuff! 💯

[@HM10thFoot]

Nick! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!

[@TheTreesBurning]

oh how I'd love to be in one of these reenactments. Sadly my country doesnt have any D:

[@loyalpiper]

Wish i could do reinactment badly.

[@HM10thFoot]

We are sure you can! Where do you live?

[@loyalpiper]

@HM10thFoot ayrshire, scotland. I've done some searching but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be many groups around this way, most napoleonic era/age of musket groups are either down south in england (ironic since all UK based highland regiments seem to be down there) or way up north of scotland for the jacobite groups. Other ones seem to have became inactive.

[@PrestonMcconnell-sf9xm]

Do reenactors have to go through recruit school if they want to join your regiment

[@NickWood07]

Correct

[@HM10thFoot]

Yes they do! Hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
