Can't wait to apply for an infantry soldier. Been to an army careers advisor today and spoke to a staff sergeant with my mate. We both will be applying and fighting with the force together. Brothers till the end.

[@airhogsflyer123]

It will be worth the wait!

[@binsouls]

I hope he is well and safe and is having a good tour.

[@PhotographyVidsHD]

I've just applied for the TA to be in the Royal Fusiliers! watched this a few times! :) Gives me so much inspiration! Hope Charlie's back safe & well.

[@smtmlivelounge]

@NathanBall18 Thank you, I'm glad you like it. I'm very sorry to hear that.

[@Gen1sisKSW]

Watched this doc a while back when I first started my application for the Army. I'm now just about to finish the ADSC and get my intake date for the 16th of September to join the Royal Regiment of Scotland. It's been helpful to come back to the documentary throughout my application. How is Charlie? Is he back from Afghan yet?

[@jackydefo]

I agree with everything this guy is saying im exactly the same cant wait to join up later in the year

[@TheLolPoster]

Good luck man,I'm off to afc in 2 weeks :)

[@babycakessayRAWRR]

good luck to him,my other half will be out there next year in march

[@GSSVideos]

hi Charlie is so lucky to be able to do the job that he wanted as A school boy by becoming A Soldier I also want to get in the Army my self but I can't as I have A disability but can walk & run & do almost the same as any other guy who has become a Soldier them self's. so I hope that Charlie will be happy in the army & that he come's home safe if he's not home all ready. from Glenn Sam Sloan

[@aledballinger2717]

[@Alarmedy8]

Good luck to all going the army brave true men

[@AnonymousManufacture]

Respect. Enough said.

[@stuarthenderson273]

the army is the best career my brother is just 23 years old and it's a royal anglian in the 1st battalion he's tells me all the time how amazing it really my father was a member of the army in a Scottish regiment and we was all born in Colchester military hospital. I myself am trying so hard to get in I've aced every test threw at me but my hearing in my left hear is not great apparently but in my selection I've pass the hearing test twice was getting my letter for training about a week before I was leaving for Catterick I got told no but I won't give up I'm appealing it the army is tough and hard Charlie is right in Wat he says and m full respect to him to anyone going for it it's so worth it just hope I get my chance

[@CRC1770]

Good luck mate, come home safe.

[@studmalexy]

love your enemies. Peace be with you.

[@SecitalDesign]

Hello Nathan, When I did my medicals and sent them to the Army Doctors they usually take around 4-6 weeks, however mine came early. I only found out about mine because I went into the careers office to do my next part and he checked and he was surprised also that they had been done fast. Best thing to do is go into the careers office and keep asking because they can be slow. Over all it took me around 12-13 months for my whole process but finally I have my phase one in September. Good Luck!

[@fairlyDecent8]

love you brother!caant wait to c u good one!xx

[@jamitchell421]

haha brilliant charlie mate ! - didnt know you were out there now all the best mate, take care !! mitch :D

[@Cmdrcheswee]

Waiting for my ADSC date... hopefully off on January intake at ITC Catterick

[@zupergozer]

Like I said, I have never been in the army so I guess that you're right

[@smtmlivelounge]

@HellsDevilify1 What exactly is it that you do for a living then 'HellsDevilify1'?

[@SlopedOtter]

In a house like that I can see why his parents said "we can do better than the army", it's just what people think of hit here in England. I'm from a middle class family and my parent was the same, but if you know it's what you want to do, there's nothing else worth doing. You only get it if you've got it.

[@bonesey100]

Hope all goes well and he comes home in one peice, I still have a few years till i can join but I know what im doing when im old enough, all the best :-) Mike

[@Lyn53yM]

yeah they do ask for a reference from your school, mine had to give one when i joined :) good luck with your exams, having those grades will help you :)

[@austingorsy-wagner3148]

He's a fuckin cook and they're all wigging out like it's over for the kid and he's not coming home lol

[@joshwray-doherty5704]

+austin gorsy-wagner hes infantry pal, as you can see by the royal anglian capbadge. im gonna hazard a guess and say that his name is double barrelled

[@zSion]

The bracket never ended o.o

[@FoxtrotBravo101]

austin gorsy-wagner he's infantry. That cap badge he's wearing is Royal Anglian. He's not a cook

[@nathanreeves1559]

i have done my medical a month ago and i was just wondering how long does it take for them to get in touch with you

[@Christopher-bp6wn]

Good boxing skills im impressed

[@adamwrigley937]

I have turned 16 and just finished school, and i was thinking about a career in the infantry however it is a massive leap into the unknown and i dont know if i should or not any advice?

[@123littledan]

Go for it, if it's what you want to do then do it

[@Trasky_UK]

Got my army brief in a couple of weeks, if i get in im on September intake at harrogate. Anyone else?

[@31JollyRoger]

@31JollyRoger The archetype of the good soldier waging war to defend against “evil” is one of the most revered figures in countries with long military traditions. We are taught that the soldiers play a primary role, always ready to defend their homeland and all those good citizens who are fortunate enough to live where freedom, justice, and equality reign.

[@GraemeDavis1994]

As a recruit Soldier Starting in September I understand what families feel like . Also Charlie would have deployed a week ago have a save tour mate.

[@motorbikemx1]

where would i get his t shirt from? the army one? thanks

[@GameplayHD101]

Got my assessment centre next Wednesday! Hope all goes well:) then next steps PRAC and ten start phase 1. Wanna be a PARA so bad haha, good luck to all people going in.

[@johnnyjardine2914]

im 15 im sending my application in November 2016

[@zupergozer]

Don't brag about things that you haven't done. Everything goes better in your imagination than in real life, I don't think either of us can really imagine what emotions go through you during a fire fight. What I do know is that many boys that "return" from wars and are traumatized for life.

[@callumcook658]

were are we going after 2014

[@direwolfgaming4905]

I'm going to enlisted when I'm 18

[@TheJoewhit]

Going Atc Pirbright on march 18th, can wait. Hope your tour went well Charlie mate

[@31JollyRoger]

@31JollyRoger This archetype of the soldier waging war is a corruption of the archetype of the champion of justice. The noble feeling from pursuing justice and defending the weak finds its fullest expression within a community where some injustice or abuse of power has occurred. Soldiers should have the right to stay where they would be really useful, living a peaceful and harmonious existence within their communities.

[@allin8795]

I hope this lad was okay. Any news on him?

[@papaspapadakis9069]

good luck man...

[@31JollyRoger]

@31JollyRoger If we imagine our soldiers happy within their communities and doing what they love, that is, what they want by calling, we would then have brave people in every community. We would have very capable and just men and women who would be responsible for peacefully mediating conflicts within the community. They would also keep an eye on local authorities to prevent any abuse or corruption. In many cases, they could provide an effective recourse to slowly grinding justice.

[@HomeMadeGunNut]

How did your tour go Charlie?

[@SecitalDesign]

Hey, you should be able to apply at 15 and 7 months. Make sure you're also never late when you have booked appointments otherwise they will get pissy. Also with the fitness I'd recommend searching online for the Army fitness guide, either way they give you it but you should start early, it'll do you a lot of good. I'd recommend every 2 days. Good luck :)

[@camguest9928]

I know there is some problems with being colour blind in the army but I talked to the local recruiting sgt and he said I would be able to join the infantry is this true pls message me if it is

[@TheGeorge2277]

R.I.P

[@elizabethcooke7651]

Off to harrogate 13th March 2016

[@dudgeon1999]

I'm there now it's shit but it's a good starting point. When you get there just keep your head down and just get on with it. Play the game as they will tell you

[@abrproductions9869]

😊good luck 😃

[@o0matthowarth0o]

Just because you couldn't over come cowardice in the face of the enemy doesn't mean that every eighteen year old would panic. That is what training is for, to make every man a warrior capable of what is needed of him in theater. I am in the application process to the British Army Infantry. I'm fifteen and eleven months. I know I can hold my own.

[@mikeyduke10]

is that his bird at the end? she is fitttttttttttttttttttttttt

[@jayharris4805]

got selection next week for rifles , buzzing

[@josephfusco95]

What type of sleeve is that? seen a few but cant pinpoint a genre.

[@willbrown3214]

are you in the military?

[@aaronkearney9312]

Fuck He's still out there.

[@31JollyRoger]

@31JollyRoger Since then, the consciousness of the planet has evolved. Gradually over the following decades, voices began to be heard protesting the wars. Thanks to this elevation of consciousness, large numbers of people around the world began to forget the war experiences of their ancestors, and subsequent generations began to heal. They began to reject the idea that violence is inherent in human nature, and so therefore it was not possible to have any more large-scale wars.

[@DrummersHell96]

FUCK! If i wasn't deaf in my left ear, I'd join up and fight for my country as soon as i could!

[@seanbrooks1206]

i start in September as well haha

[@cameronbeattie601]

Got the assessment in July going September 2016

[@4145joseph]

Same I'm going to Glencourse on July 7th

[@Sam-NFF]

Bro I'm going to harrogate on september 25th

[@mitchyman528]

+Sam Ashcroft going to harrogate on September the 18th!

[@4145joseph]

Awesome guys, I'm going on the 18th as well!!!!!

[@mitchyman528]

+Nato Tech what you going in for?

[@GIProductionz]

good effort fellow RANG'rrrrrrr

[@keirrredden6735]

Ah good on you, mate! What battalion?

[@31JollyRoger]

@31JollyRoger These images must be sufficiently focused and aligned so that the demonstration does not dissolve in contradictions. That is why certain images, emotions, and sounds of war are repeated in all the audiovisual media. An entire generation grew up reading Life magazine and having black and white images of war implanted in their minds. Young people today live trapped in the archetypal world of video games and movies, and their minds are also being implanted with images of violence.

[@pimptoking]

mate**

[@31JollyRoger]

@31JollyRoger To keep the archetype of the war in the consciousness of these populations, the leaders have used a variety of media including film, television, and more recently, videogames. The purpose is clear: to manifest a war, it is necessary to get a momentum of hatred and fear in the collective unconscious. They have to project and sustain these images and feelings in enough people over a period of time sufficient to permit its manifestation on the physical plane.

[@TheLolPoster]

join straight after highschool and go to AFC harrogate man

[@thebig321]

Yeah, thats what I am hoping todo, went up to the carrer centre on Friday :D, tried applying now, but said I got to wait another 2months -.-

[@SecitalDesign]

Hey there, I'd recommended looking up the Army fitness guide online and doing training every 2 days. It really does help when you come to Selection. As long as you get your time between 9-10:30 minutes you'll be fine, even if you do have a 14 minute limit. Push for the 9s, or 10s, Aslong as you work hard you'll get the job choice you want. If you need more help or advice, add my skype: Secital and I'll be happy to help as I've finished my process for the Army and leave soon for Phase One.

[@TeamBubonic]

Same i want to join as an Electrical Engineer, When im 16 and a half but im struggling atm on fitness "/ im in year 10 too

[@jamesmc6825]

Is it hard to enlist?

[@shaqirvlogs3776]

Super duper easy. But the hard part is basic training. And after that the interview

[@theanonymousamateur4242]

+ShaqirVlogs You're not even in the army.

[@shaqirvlogs3776]

+TheAnonymousAmateur your right but I know some people who are and they told me basic training is the hardest and they also told me is easy to enlist. And I'm joining soon anyways

[@shed2211]

+ShaqirVlogs As long as you are not a spaz you will do fine. Unfortunately I was an idiot and mentioned in my medical exam that I had a minor pain in my left shin so I got deferred entry for 3 months while I supposedly fix a problem that doesn't exist -_-

[@mrward6510]

Its a pain in the ass just make sure you're medical is all clear no loose ends. Fecked me up for 9 months.

[@itanamullik]

I was respecting you until you said they don't know why we are there, actually I don't even know why we are there. I know why your there and if you did maybe you wouldent want to be deployed.

[@onemangamer587]

My dream is to become a royal marine commando! i am soon 16 (august 2016), i really wanna go to Lympstone to become a commando but the problem is my family doesn't think i can do it... they say that i am not ready yet, i will admit i'm not that muscular but i can still do stuff. Another problem is that i saw on the webpage that people from northern Ireland can join and people that live in the UK, but i live in France with my family, i have an english mother and an Irish father, i my self i'm "Irish", i have been worrying for a long time about this cause it just mite ruin my dream... And i would just like to add, pls don't make any comments about the name of my channel or what i do by saying that life isn't a video game etc... cause i know exactly what to expect if i get into the army/navy.

[@ssaryanpurity9847]

go for it dude ive sent my application to the british army i cant wait

[@onemangamer587]

+olscav2426 thanks mate! I hope you get accepted and best of luck to you! train hard and never give up

[@ssaryanpurity9847]

same to you dude! ive subscribed to ur channel :)

[@onemangamer587]

+olscav2426 thank you so much! I can't express my gratitude! I'll return the favour

[@nathanwood4980]

good luck with the royal marines i just done the recruitment test and its hard as fuck ive now got to wait 6 months till i can re apply again

[@iReecexZ]

stop giving it big licks mate, joining up is nothing compared to the training,especially for the infantry

[@elizabethcooke7651]

Leave for phase 1 in 10 days😳

[@ryanmontgomery9460]

+Beth Cooke Nice where you at, Pirbright? I got my selections in 9 days...

[@zSion]

[@ryanmontgomery9460]

Bradley Whelan Air Defence Gunner

[@devv1989]

and just where are these afghan oil fields?

[@MUsman-bb6yt]

are sleeve tattoos allowed in the army?

[@joshwray-doherty5704]

yep, so long as they're not offensive! I know lads that have hand tattoos and all sorts, you'll be fine pal

[@shmached]

You're not allowed to have them on show when you join, i.e the face, neck and hands. However once you're already in he army they won't discharge you for getting one that is on show

[@McFishz]

as long as it doesn't show when you wear your uniform you'll be alright

[@31JollyRoger]

Although we have been bombarded with images of war for eons, this archetype is now being removed from the conscious mind. This archetype has been around for millennia on the material plane and has been manifested consistently, reaching its apotheosis in the recent world wars. Then it was implanted in the minds of humanity so that almost all the population justified the war and its dire consequences as necessary and even glorious and heroic.

[@thehenescrew]

does he always go sssss ssss ssss when he boxes

[@thebig321]

I'd love to join the army, i'm in year 10, going into year 11 soon, hopefully I joining up a making a career out of it just need to get fitter start jogging ect more so hard, tho, hopeful I will try & join up day after my GCSE if they will have me :) P.S, Stay safe out there if you're out, if about to leave, have a safe tour ! :) -Ashley

[@TGABMX]

holly shit he is in the same regerment as me

[@studmalexy]

but its based on teh dynamic of the Dollar(based on the price of oil). In other words...they want the dollar to be controlled and traded in dollars. They dont want/need more oil....but they do need to controll how its traded...this video expalins it. /watch?v=TMkXA6kqNsw&list=UU1ZJSPHkcgG_g7o1gAP5gxQ&index=50&feature=plpp_video

[@thebig321]

Abit of a stupid question, its something that you get given/earn by serving.

[@MihaiRUdeRO]

500 characters isnt enough to explain all the details, just do some research on America and its foreign policy and economy first. I highly recommend you watch "the power principle" - its a 3 part non-profit free documentary about all of this and more. just google it for links

[@paratrooper2011]

screamersssssss

[@thehenescrew]

booooom

[@GIProductionz]

haha have fun crow

[@BiGCol1995]

Yes many people do but if its something they wanna do shut up and let them do it.

[@zupergozer]

I am 16 and I have obviously never been in a firefight, so I know a few things about the army but I understand nothing. Anyway I just think that being 18 is just a little too young to put your life on the line, plus the human body and the mind is not yet fully developed at 18

[@zupergozer]

I think that 18 is too young to join the army, you should be 21 or something

[@RobSmith2016]

+nealer12 you traitor !

[@zupergozer]

Because the majority will just panic, they are still teens man. I know I would shit bricks in a firefight. But 18 is just too young to put your life on the line in my opinion.

[@studmalexy]

but it does have a potential oil pipeline that was proposed in 2000 which would have economically benefitted surrounding countries such as Pakistan which could have resulted in pressure on the dollar as world reserve currency. Also, the taliban were burning all the poppy fields so the illegal drug operation:(from which black ops and intel agencies were taking a cut were running dry). Then 911 conveniently ahppened:(which can be proven to be the work of controlled demolition and remote planes).
