Disclaimer - Everything you see and I say is all my own personal opinion and I work alone and not with any military organisations.
Could you maybe get an officer in to talk about his career progression
Yes I can do that
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.
I'm go to Harrogate on the 14th March and I'm joining as RAC Tank Crewman
is it going well
Any updates mate? My son is expressing interest in this path and I’d value your opinion after three years
@@edwardfrench9925 it was a good experience training was no different to phase 1 adult entry however as you have more time there you get opportunities to do interesting things from AT to Duke of Edinburgh award
@@edwardfrench9925ur son will be alright he’s got so many regs to choose from and if he’s under 18 he can opt out at anytime before turning that age and you don’t choose your role till end of the medical assessment and if he’s not happy he could always move to logistics or reme for example
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.
That's a lot different to now, especially training with the foot guards. Thank you
@@CombatReadyHQ When we were having our tank training, we had a L/CoH instructor, pupils from the other regiments were confused because we kept calling the NCO with 3 cheverons and crown corporal.
so does the household cavalry do a good mix of mounted and dismounted on operations
Yes we are trained at ground and mounted reconnaissance
@@CombatReadyHQ found this, it was just before my time but exactly as I remember it

Great video, start phase 1 on April 18th hopefully to join Light Cavalry 🇬🇧 This vid helped a lot
Nice one, glad the video has helped
Craig , outstanding video , I really wish I had this sort of information back in the 80s when I joined the RAOC , this is so helpful for anyone joining now , keep the videos coming mate , really helpful & also enjoyable for anyone who has served in the armed forces 👍👍
Thanks mate really appreciate that, and I will. Thank you for watching and supporting
I would love to see an interview with or see you talk about the career of a Light Cavalry officer!
I will definitely be looking to this at some point t
Yassss these are my favourite. Thank you for making this video I want to join either one but I haven't chooses what one I want to do. Love the video.
@James McGrath please don't what
I have interest in the welsh calv and this video really helped👍
Good to know it has helped
Very informative!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿🇬🇧
Great video! Just passed my assessment centre and looking to join the rac light cav should be great long way to go yet but excited
how r things now
I’m going to the assessment centre on the 12th of March and I’m wanting to join the household cavalry
Good luck mate
@@curt6926 cheers pal
@@harrye4476 what reg are you going for ?
Good luck
Good luck mate, the assessment centre is an absolute breeze 👍
Hoping to be joining the army soon, aiming for armoured corps and haven't found much info about it, this video has been a massive help mate thank you
Best of luck with it all Dylan
@@CombatReadyHQ cheers mate, dreading the runs though lol
I'm hoping to join the RTR but just waiting on some medical stuff so I have some extra time to improve my fitness lmao
I'm hoping to go in to the RTR aswell, took ages for my doctors to send off my med docs, have my assessment in may, I used all my time to get as fit as possible, you'll smash it dont stress to much
Starting training march 28th..infantry... princess of wales
Good luck and enjoy
Got my assessment on 4th of May, aiming for QDG 🙏🤘
i might be a month late but good luck to you in your career!
Do you have to join to a local area? I have respect across the board for all areas but at the same time have no interest in joining the *light dragoons*
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.
If u only sent it off 2 weeks ago then u probs won’t hear anything for another 3-4 weeks because I originally got rejected due to issues in the past and it took about 6 weeks before I was cleared
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?
Did you get an answer regarding that matt? I'm 28 been thinking about applying for ages now but I can't decide between the Royal navy and Army.🤷♂️ I also like the idea of becoming a ridding instructor at knightsbridge.
@@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.
Hope this helps
@@MattyB1703 Thanks for the info mate. It's one of those things I know I want to do and I know ill regret it later on in life if I don't apply. Best of luck with your application process.
Im confused about something. If i wanna do tank crewman do i get to pick it or will the army pick my role within the royal armoured corps. Cuz i really wanna do tank crewman
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
Say I choose the 2nd option due to unavailable space, do I get a chance to transfer to my previous first option if there happens to be open space after?
Is that all same if you go in as an officer from sandhurst. Also please could you do a video on sandhurst.
@James McGrath oh is there. I didn't know thank you.
Would you recommend going to AFC Harrogate after year 11?
I'm only asking because I'm coming up to the end of high school and looking for colleges to attend and since I aim to join the RAC I want to know as much as possible before I apply for basic.
If you want, just make sure you do your research
Could you do one like this on aacc and p coy?
Yes can do
So how often would you go to guard the residences because that what I wauld mainly want to do in the Household cavalry.
so will u be apart of war or just based in the uk?
Please do CMT!
Yes I will be at some point 🤙
can you talk about bullying in the RAC/Household Cav because I have watched quite a few videos of veterans talking, and there did seem to be a general background of trouble makers but what I heard when a guy from the light infantry was talking shocked me... just wondering fighting amongst soldiers varies from unit to unit?
Can you do a vid like this in combat med tech or paras
Can you apply for Guards para from HCR in your first 18-24 months at Knightsbridge ? cheers
Armoured core has moved to caterick now
Really?
ATC Pirbright 18th April anybody? Looking to go in to the QDG.
you probably already mentioned it but can you do a mix of both ceremonial and fighting
Yes as said in the video you will do ceremonial first and then come across to the Armoured side
@@CombatReadyHQare the ceremonial duties rotated? Like the foot guards? As in each 2 years you swap between the two?
I'm from the North East but I like the look of the Royal Scots Dragoon guards would I not be able to join them though?
You should still be fine joining them but I can't Guarantee you'll get a space but still apply for them
I want to be tank crewman but I’m not sure what regiment to join cause I’m applying from New Zealand and hopping to get in when they start commonwealth recruiting again what would be the best tank regiment to join for me , from what I’ve seen rtr is the one most people seem to want to join
Yeah RTR are a big one and have a great reputation but the others are good
How likely are you to get your preferred trade and can you change your corps entirely if you don't get into the role you want? For example If I don't get in as a tank crewman I'd rather change my role entirely (such as move to ramc) than go into any of the other RAC trades
It all depends on spaces available at the time and yes sometimes you can transfer trade in training but not always
Can you get engineering qualifications in any of these regiments?
Yeah lvl 2 nvq in vehicle maintenance
Quick question. You mentioned about how each regiment recruits from they're local area. Does that mean if I lived in a certain area I would be more likely to join the corresponding regiment? I live in the south west and would like to join RTR
Same here im in Plymouth. I gave assessment next week and am interested in the RTR!
Do you still have the 4 week fitness plan? The link in description doesn't appear to work
No not at the moment
RAC phase 1 is now Catterick?
Yes mate this vid is a couple years old it’s all updated on the army website
Please do royal artillery soon
I will be
So if I'm understanding this correctly, my chances of getting on Challenger 2 are lower because its regiments don't recruit in my area (pennines)?
It's hard to say but you aren't guaranteed it just because you've put it as your first choice
@@CombatReadyHQ Ah well, end of the day if I'm in an armoured vehicle of some kind I'm happy
Thanks for the quick response
If you join the armoured cavalry or light cavalry do you have to do ceremonial duties?
yes
I want to be a tank crewman . But does it mean that I could be put as something else
Yes you could, you aren't guaranteed to go heavy
ATC Pirbright 13th April anyone?
damn... 24 months of cerimonial duty?! just shoot me...
Where's 9th/12th r l at???6
