    Great video and very helpful, i start basic in January and this video gave me the information the army website didn't. I want to be part of the light calvary crewman but didn't know where i would be based after training and this helped massively.

    When I joined The Lifeguards in 71, I was sent to the Guard's depot Pirbright, The Lifeguards and Blues and Royals were put together for training, we trained alongside the foot Guards, at the end of training we passed out as trained soldiers. We then went either for mounted training or to Cattrick for armoured training, The Lifeguards had just started on Chieftain so The Lifeguard member's did tank training, after that training we all went to Windsor, the Lifeguard section were then flown to Detmold to join the Regiment.

    Applied for HCav, got deferred at AC due to needing a sickle cell test. Got my results back and got declared P8 due to a self-diagnosis on my medical records. Sent my appeal (my GP has stated in plain English that I don't have the condition listed) off 2 weeks ago and still haven't heard anything. Army recruitment say it's still awaiting review at Glencorse so I'm currently sat in limbo with no idea what's happening.

    Great Video Craig. Have found all of your videos helpful, that I’ve seen so far. (30 & only just applied, interview today), I’ve selected HCav as my first choice. Would you get the option to remain at Knightsbridge, and become a riding instructor or a farrier if you wanted to?

      @@lee9650 Hi Lee, yes I did mate. But I’ll be getting clarification of this when I get my event at Knightsbridge. Glad to see someone of a similar age looking into joining too. Funny you say that, my ex navy mate was trying to get me down the navy route too! Got chatting to a riding master up at Horseguards of all places, (got the same answer for the Kings troop for a virtual event I had for that as part of my application)
      All members of the Hcav have to do 2 years at Knightsbridge after phase 2 anyway. During year 1 at Knightsbridge, you get to choose a career path, either carry on to Bulford on tanks, or select a career within the HCMR, at Knightsbridge, (riding instructor, farrier, Saddler, Tailer etc) One would imagine the army could post you where you’re need though.
      Good luck mate, and hope you apply! It’s the best thing I’m doing. Taking me a while because my fitness is shocking, but best of luck mate and hopefully I’ll meet you at Knightsbridge.

      You put in your preferences in order, for example:
      1 - Tank Crewman
      2 - Armoured Cav
      3 - Light Cav
      Then the army will take this into consideration as well as the job roles they need to fill and assign you to one of the roles. Whether you get your first pick depends on spaces available
