What did u wear for your interview?

[@UserTvlkiop]

​@@bobstones8729 for your interview go in as smart as you can

[@ImpetusM]

Got the assessment tomorrow, hopefully all goes well. I feel I haven’t researched enough but I haven’t been explicitly told I’m having an “interview”, but rather a “careers discussion”. Only briefly looked at the history of the Guards and everyone knows the 5 Regiments so that’s not an issue.

[@sentinautt]

Haven't chosen an assessment date yet but I was told that if you get straight A's in assessment grades, you get offered a starting date there and then. If you get B or C, you might be waiting quite a while before you can start basic training. I will definitely research a lot but I really wanna focus on getting straight A's.

[@combatreadyhq]

Yes the goal is to win and do your absolute best aim for the a’s for sure, the ultimate goal is to just pass and get into the unit you are aiming for! Go smash it

[@mrporkins2162]

im waiting to start basic training now but when I did my assessment centre I didn't really do any research on what i wanted to do so my interview at the end was a bit awkward but i still got offered a job so i wouldn't worry about that too much tbh

[@combatreadyhq]

Fair enough but you still want to be as best prepared as possible

Lads, I went through Catterick and I've been in battalion for around 3/4 months now. any questions let me know.

[@user-bj2pc3it2v]

hi got my assessment date on the 12th wondering how hard it was and the bleep test thats the only thing im worried about im crap at running idk what it is

[@PerringtonBear]

id try not to worry about it. just make sure you drink enough throughout the day. with the pee tests and fitness tests you'll want to be hydrated. good luck 👍

[@Alex63645]

What’s an average day at an infantry battalion?

[@PerringtonBear]

@@Alex63645 this might sound like a cop out answer but it depends. every day is normally different. if I had to describe the most average day it would be pt in the morning, shower. wait out on group chat in your room for tasking. lunch, 12- 1:30, parade. then fuck all till 5. done

[@PerringtonBear]

@@Alex63645 Our weeks atm are - Monday - 10:00-17:00 Tuesday, Thursday 9:00-17:00 Wednesday - 9:00 - 13:30 ( sports afternoon ) Friday 7:30 - 10:00 Normally pt 3 times a week

[@joshhoyle191]

Do you research on the regiment of your choice, keep on top of your fitness especially cardio. Be confident and enjoy it. Try to engage in communications on the journey to wherever you get sent. It really is a good time give it 110%. I had a great time on mine but was nervous before I went. Honestly don’t be nervous it’s a great experience. Roll on mod one now. All the best those going for assessment.

[@IncredibleT.]

I’m looking to logistics core but I don’t know if I’ll make it through the assessment centre as I have ADHD I don’t know if I’ll get in

[@azz9149]

I’m currently in training , as far as I know you can join with mild and I mean very mild ADHD and you can not be taking medication for it but still talk to your careers office first if you do take medication it may depend what you take and how often but if you have an extreme issue with ADHD ie it really effects the way you behave and conduct yourself then No unfortunately you won’t be accepted

[@curtisevans8413]

From my understanding, you must have been asymptomatic for at least two years without the use of medication. The reasons behind this are that they don't want someone who's mentally unstable on the front line, especially if they require medicines they may not be able to get in a sticky situation. You would be a danger to yourself and your unit if you're unable to act like a good soldier while a hostile unit is attempting to kill you.

[@azz9149]

@@curtisevans8413 very well said , this is exactly the point

[@XsNiPeRPi3z]

i've recently joined the university officer training corps. when i did my army medical i was honest about my ADHD (diagnosed through someone employed by my uni but not a psychiatrist). the main thing i was asked is if it affects my discipline. i said i keep myself clean, exercise with some consistency, keep my home in relatively good order and achieved a 1:1 in my bachelor's degree. i believe i was asked about medication, though i can't remember for sure as we were all sleep deprived af. i also mentioned i live with my girlfriend; that was also a positive as it meant someone else could tolerate living with me haha. meditation practices, exercise and philosophy have seriously done wonders for my wandering mind, energy levels and views on the world and of myself. i am heavily considering joining the army when i finish my master's. good luck on your journey brother

[@BreakingWhite]

@@combatreadyhq ah yes thanks for your response. I understood that on the website, but this is the problem on a lot of assessment videos on KZbin (about how to prepare and what not) like this one, people mention how you need to pass an English and Maths test at the assessment centre no matter the role. I’m just a little confused.
