- More than 100 Reserve Officer Cadets have completed eight weeks of intensive training at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.
They’ve been on the Commissioning Course Short - which is the route Reserve Officers take, rather than the usual 44-week course.
His Majesty the Sultan of Oman watched the parade and in particular his son His Highness the Crown Prince.

Great to see that the Army now takes Reserve forces seriously and gives these part-time soldiers 8 weeks of Sandhurst training before they're Commissioned . It used to be only a 2-week course in the days of the old TAVR. It's well short of the Regular Officers' 44 weeks, but it's still a great start for a Reserve Officer.
Thank you one and all, for your service. Scott , Somerset
Thank you for service.
Lovely to see what goes on at the RMA I live in Sandhurst and drive past it most days!
Well done everyone. Congratulations on passing out and hope you have a good and distinguished service in the army. We don’t know what the future may hold, whether it’s a remaining tentative peace, or eventual war with Russia and then China, but I wish everyone the best of luck.
China hasn't been at war in 40 years ... and they're not going to blow up their customers 😂
@@coolspot18 if they take Taiwan they'll be at war again
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
Thank you for sharing
Respect
Doesn't matter if it's 44 weeks or 8 weeks. You still need the platoon Sgt to run the platoon
Well done, all. Few civvies could hack it.
Anyone fancy a bit of marching up and down the squuuuuuaaaAAAAAAAREE !?!!
That is unless any of you have anything better to do? WELL???
I would like to go to the pictures :)
I'd really like to play the piano
@@lukeysharp94 well to be honest sir I'd rather be at home with the wife & kids!
@@lukeysharp94 @R Kolb well off you go then !
Looks like fun. I'm going to grab another cold beer and watch more.
Thank you to the Omani Royal family for making Britain great again
Samething here in Canada between the Regular and Reserve Force. There was always a hudge divide between the two, Until the start of Afghanistan, As a reservists at the time, the Reg forces started changing their mind set.. Since a Reservists has no obligation to go overseas..Through the years since the start of the Former YUGOSLAVIA and finally Afghanistan sealed the the gap between the two. Reservists were volunteering beyond what was expected of them. As i volunteered for many since the early 90s and have a different attitude when it came to dealing with the Reg for until I transferred to the Reg later in my 26yr career..and missing it more then i could've imagined.
Any chance of binning Tim cooper?
8 weeks! 02 months!
Dear English Andy .dont be a smart arse have a go if you dare.
Given the title, I thought someone had fainted (as I didn't understand that "pass out" has another meaning). 🤣🤣
Hello from Ukraine
Does the UK have a "Military Academy", e.g., a 3 - 4-or 5 yr. institution like the USMA whereby cadets heading to the full-time Forces get a university education with an academic degree along with their military training & commission? Or is Sandhurst (which I do know has been turning out British military officers for 100's of years) an British military institution to just train/make officer's, much like the various US Services have their individual Officer Training School's?
So for the UK Sandhurst is where all army officers (to my knowledge) will train and it doesn't provide a uni education alongside it. We do have AFC Harrogate which people can join at 16/17 and allows them to get some academic quals alongside doing their basic training for soldier entry. Nothing like USMA though
Cadets training for Permanent Regular Commissions used to do 2 years at Sandhurst, where the second year was academic. But this disappeared in about 1970. Now it's a 44-week course for Regular Commissions, or an 8-week course for Army Reserve Officers and Professionally Qualified Officers (like Doctors and Lawyers). 80% of Regular Army cadets are already University graduates, while Professionally qualified Officers would all be graduates. The Army also offers generous bursaries for Officers and future Officers to do a University degree.
@@nigg2811 There you go much better reply than me😂
No. The usual route is do your degree, join the army, do your 44 week course. I think that there are opportunities to do higher education courses (MSc etc) later on if it's considered relevant. But there's no direct equivalent to West Point or Annapolis - our military isn't really big enough to make it economic, and I don't think it fits the British ethos - I think that they want officers to have as wide a life experience as possible, and being taught alongside other officers for four years doesn't really expose you to a wide range of people and their opinions, which is part of the point of attending university - I'm not suggesting that West Point and Annapolis don't give an excellent academic education.
A large amount of officers who complete sandhurst without a university education will go on to study a relevant bachelors when they are a lieutenant or captain as they generally need a degree to become a major.
Why don't they have rifles?
They can’t be trusted
They have all been given to Ukrainian troops, the armoury is empty.
@@Andyb2379 not with a radio and arty calls they can't
Barely trust a 1 pip wonder to sign a leave pass right first go.
@@davidking6172 not they havent, nobody wants an sa80.
I expected to see cadets fainting. I.e. passing out.
Me from India can I join the British army
no distinction between reserves and regular........
There is, they're not as highly trained as a regular Soldier.
@@dazza9326 you do the same just spread over more time
@@stemartin6671 No you don't what utter rubbish.... Regular troops train every day therefor it's imbedded. I was a regular then joined the reserves, the contrast is miles apart.
@@dazza9326 basic is spread over 3 modules for reserves with DLE in-between, as opposed to the 14 week basic that regulars do.
@@stemartin6671 You're insulting regular troops, don't try and convince me they are because they're not.
8wks...
🤣🤣
Not a patch on the marching standards at AFC Harrogate!
Looks like the future is in good hands. These guys have volunteered from school to be child super soldiers for the UK , and that's outstanding 🤠👍
They looked a bit older
@@vanpallandt5799 pass out tho, so yes old enough for the real game now.
@@stantheman4964 i think most AR officers are at least early 20s since a lot will have been in a UOTC and others will be promotes from ranks
@@vanpallandt5799 you sound clued up, I have a question. As a cadet your specifically trained for the regiment your part of ?
@@stantheman4964 never been to Sandhurst, but as i understand it, the courses there are generalist ones..so a platoon will have ppl who have all sorts of interests. To arms training is done later elsewhere but happy to be corrected
Sloppy,pathetic drill.
Clickbait...no one passes out...
I hope this is a joke
8 weeks? That's it?😂😂😂😂😂
consolidated course. So whilst the regular course is drawn out over an extended period you will have this one basically squashed in.
@@Astralwolf23 imagine the subordinate soldiers having to be led by these incomplete officers. British Army is hilarious.😂😂😂😂
@@frank-ko6de Standards are the exact same, anyone would argue higher as they have to do more in their own time.
@@simonhool3073 they would have to be extremely superhuman to understand the workings of an army in such a short time. its one thing to have continuing education after you graduate,
But to be made an officer of a group of soldiers who are far more prepared than you is extremely laughable and certainly compromises morale. But, thank god for senior ncos, who are the true backbone of any army, in a world infected by incompetent officering.
This is reserve not regular. Regular is 44weeks. Reserve officers used to do just 2 weeks. They literally x4 the duration
This parade is so disrespectful.. we’re is the LGTBQ representation and gay pride flag
