What Jobs Deploy The Most In The British Army?

[@skeletonkey6733]

To all veiwing on this channel please take note as truly when it comes to the ins and outs this is the most up-to-date and informative online channel by far.Keep up the great work Sam and God bless

[@MilitaryFitness]

Thank you so much for the support. Legend

[@JammyDodger45]

The answer is going to be one of the Corps. My £ would be on RLC, AGC, Sigs or RE.

[@andrewjohnston4127]

Who deploys most?........... gotta be the RLC posties and movers 😁 without them there's no deployment

[@CommonWealthSnow]

Hi Sam! Just wanted to let you know how helpful you have been to me during my application into the army! You've really cleared up some of the questions I have had that I didn't really think to ask my recruiter! I received my date to start basic training at Pirbright yesterday, (17 July!!) and am generally looking forward to it, as well as my phase 2 training to become an armourer! Thank you again, you've made it a lot easier!

[@MilitaryFitness]

That is great news buddy, I wish you all the best. Also, thanks for the kind comment.

[@bodazephyr6629]

I believe the problem is over deployment these days, with the army being so small. Fine if you are young and single, but family guys often leave if they are deployed too much,

[@MilitaryFitness]

That’s so true at the moment.

[@westay4924]

Brilliant video! Thanks Sam

[@MilitaryFitness]

Thanks mate 💪🏻💪🏻

Hi Sam, I was wondering if you had any info on learning languages in the army, I used to be pretty good at them at school. Well done, on your MSM btw

[@MilitaryFitness]

There are some roles that will teach you languages in the army like Russian or Arabic. If you already have a really good grasp of languages already you can take a test and even get paid extra

[@llecter5429]

Literally googled this question a couple of days ago and it didn't really give me a clear idea. This video is informative as it needs to be and has clarified it all for me, so thank you!! (submitting my application in the next 3-6 weeks and can't wait) 😁

17 Year old wanting to Join the Army as Infantry but I’m terrified of heights meaning getting on a plane I get tunnel vision and sweaty just wish I never had this fear because I know I’d smash it in the military I know it sounds stupid but there’s no role that don’t have to get on a plane is there or a role that just stays on boats

[@MilitaryFitness]

You will go on flights if you deploy so wherever you join you may get on a plane. Have you tried therapy?

[@CMOVIEACTOR]

Don't do it, you will just get scared and shot in Baghdad

[@FC-dv1eb]

Hi Sam, thank you for all your videos! Currently trying to decide wether i should be joining or not and your videos are so helpful. When you are deployed (not like Irak/ Afghanistan), how does it actually work? Do you have some spare time where you can do what you want? Can you make contact with your family? Can they come with you? Do you get paid more money from being abroad? Thanks

[@MilitaryFitness]

Hi buddy. When you get deployed on Ops, you will get time to your self and extra money. If you get posted abroad for more than a year then your family can go with you.

Yeah, they will be in exercise and deployed quite a bit.

[@fancypig]

I'm currently in the process of joining up now, my first 2 choices are Infantry and Light Cavalry, but the 3rd is Electronic Warfare. During a conversation with a family member who was in the Navy for 22 years, and a conversation with a recruiter, they suggested that I go into the most technical role I could or "as high up" as he put it. Problem is, I really want to do the combat side of things, I love the idea of drilling room clearances ad infinitum and really getting stuck in. If I did join Electronic Warfare (which I want to do purely because it has the chance to see combat despite being very focused on technical things) would I still get to scratch that itch of the combat side? Or should I just follow my gut and go Infantry? Thank you for the videos, they're truly great.

Good to know electronic warfare can deploy a lot. I'm looking to join the reserves, Rifles or Signals as a Communication Systems Operator. Do you know if its possible to progess or specialise in Electronic Warfare in the signal reserves? I work in tech in civvie life, but I'm also quite physically active so I want the best balance of Tech and combat in the Signals. Electronic warfare seems the best fit for that within the Signals, unless you know of a better signals combat role?

[@MilitaryFitness]

At this moment in time there is no reserve EW in the signals

I find the British army very picky...if the British army is shrinking and needs more soldiers all they got to do is open back the commonwealth doors 🚪 there are so many people out there that's willing to join and I know a lot who are willing to sacrifice leaving their country to come to join up when I say a lot I mean a lot

[@MilitaryFitness]

There are a lot of commonwealth soldiers really desperate to join but the army only takes a certain number per year. I also don’t think the army is shrinking from recruitment it’s just getting smaller due to there being no campaigns at the moment.

[@djsonic1067]

@MilitaryFitness my application was in but I cancelled it because I applied through commonwealth way last year but this year I'm gonna be a citizen so they say to re-apply normal way cause it will be more smoother and quicker...I use to work at Pirbright camp so I know alot of hi up soldiers and I get a lot of support and advice...I was thinking to join signals, port operator or driver...but we'll see if I still wanna join🤞🏾

Hi, I’ve just got back from assessment I was medically deffered due to a ankle fracture I had 8 years ago (it has never given me any problems) I was allowed to continue with fitness and everything else, I passed with a B grade I ran a 10.2 on the bleep test however my future in the army is now in the hands of a occupational health specialist so I’m just wondering if you have any experience or insight into this process and the possibility of the deferral being reversed. Many thanks

[@MilitaryFitness]

I have heard of a lot of deferrals being accepted so you stand a decent chance. Good luck

[@mikeyengland6363]

Good luck mate, don’t let it get you down- it’s not over yet. Keep up with strengthening the muscle groups around your injury site, keep smashing the runs and body weight functional strength. As a side note too- I could run a 8 min mile and a half, but struggled like fuck with a beep test, so you’re looking good. Keep going and never stop- it’s the mindset that makes a good civvie into a great soldier. Good luck and God bless 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
