What To Pack For British Army Basic Training

[@civietosoldier]

Don't forget to take an iron and ironing board and the obvious (underwear, towel, clothing, toiletries, shower shoes, hair nets for girls). I didn't mention them in the video as it is on the kit list they give you in (link in description!) DISCLAIMER: I am in no way connected to recruitment or have been told to make this video. I am giving MY advice on MY experiences. You do not have to follow it. I truly think that everything I mentioned is necessary but that is just preference! If you don't want to take it, nobody is forcing you 😅 do what you think is best! 💕

Hi, I want to ask about SDC cos there's not a lot of info about it. Do you go on any exercise (eg Ex Valiant Sprint) during SDC as well as adventure training off camp and do you need to get most, if not all of the kits you talked about in this video and in the last one? Would you also mind if I DM'd you on IG (please your handle) to talk me through the course? I know it's been a long time since you attended it but any little info you provide me would be helpful. Cheers.

When I did it, I didn’t go on exercise and I didn’t do any weapons handling. I’ve heard now that you learn parts of the rifle on sdc. Most of it is intense fitness however. It’s a good little course and I would advise taking everything bc even if you have a break, you can leave it all on camp for when you do your full CMS

Thanks for this Natasha! I’m a little nervous to join the army I won’t lie, but as you can expect thats normal right? I’m going to an army careers centre next week to see what career would suit me best!! All the best.

can women wear boy-leg swim costumes? and are tattoos allowed to be visible during sports (just above knee tattoos are visible when wearing shorts or costume)

[@theyoungwolf9852]

I left basic training in November and we were allowed and yes tattoos are not an issue

@@civietosoldier Thank you. I have heard this week that a torch and flask are also in the pack now as well. My son has passed his assessments. He is waiting on some medical information to be updated and then he will receive his start date.
