I served in the British Army (Royal Military Police) and was posted to Catterick 150 Provost Company. I have never known such a group of outstanding soldiers, both off and on garrison. I don't recall a single incident of misbehaviour, but do remember them always being pristine in their uniform, even when out in Darlington. Major respect.
Mulvaney Fitness You silly arse.
like a well-trained dog?
@@voronoit4091 coward
Mungay dungy I served in the Scots Guards ad did a mortar concentration in Brecon , the Ghurkas had a mortar platoon their and like you say were always well turned out and polite .
They are very respected and unlike a lot of other people around they are very respectfull ' very honourable people ' a rare thing unfortunately.
I was a Royal Marine in the 1960's. One of the few colour photographs I have of that period is of me posing alongside a Ghurka soldier, on exercise in Malaya.. I still have the photograph.
Good luck to all you potential Ghurka recruits.
I also tried 3 years to join The British Army. I failed in PI but i am happy that 3 years of my life helped me to become physically and mentally strong 👍👍

@@manishtamang4262 No
So much stress on such young minds. I understand the reason though, God bless the ones who don't make it and look after the ones who do.
Gurkhas are top lads.

These people are loyal to no matter who they serve, that is why they are so much respected.
Wish me a luck for intake 2020
😖😖😖
Same here
Good luck! No better ally!
God bless and all the best!
goodluck
Good luck mate I'm proud to have met many Gurkha soldiers. They are great guy's and first class soldiers.
Ive worked with these guys.....straight badass dudes
I think the Gurkhas should be allowed to join the Canadian Army as we fall under service to Queen Elizabeth! It would be a wonderful addition to our military. I have binge watched video on their training. Very respectful group of young men. I am in the Forces (31 years now). I love seeing such dedication.
if ur country open selction free then our country manny youth boy can full fill their dream mam
I'm Canadian-Nepali and would also love to see that
But Canada is independent now,only a member of the commonwealth. Gurkahs fight for and with Britain ,that is their choice to do so..originally they fought for the largest and most powerful empire in the world which later got dissolved. If Canada was still British or part of empire then Gurkahs would also be there. It's pretty much why the USA doesn't have any. And India only has some because Britain formed a Gurkah Indian regiment something that continued after Britain gave it back.
TA Lindsay i mean realistically if canada ever goes to war Britain will be right there beside you, same with australia and new zealand, the anglosphere needs to come together including nepal for their loyalty to Britain.
@Sid Hart its is not foreign army nepal and Britain have been united for decades, they chose to join the British empire and became our most loyal citizens, they show their honor by honoring their ancestors.
As someone going through the process of joining the British army in Britain I have a lot of respect for these lads
You know you’ve pissed the UK off when we unleash the Gurkhas on you.
Unleash?

This is the people I don’t mind having them in my country, their dedication and loyalty even to protect others. Thanks Ghurkas 👍🏻👍🏻

@@navnig It's a sign of having a heart murmur.
I couldn't detect a speck of ego.
That's Nepal.
About fourteen years ago when I was in Pokhara, Nepal I was proud to have met and spoken with applicants to become soldiers in the British Army. Also in Khathmandu, I met
retired Ghurkha soldiers. Britain is extremely fortunate to have such a fine body of men in their service, they merit the highest distinction and respect.
Gorkha and Kathmandu bro. :)
I was one of the last British families to live in Dhahran on the camp before it was handed back to the Nepalese government. Great to see it’s still in use for recruitment. I remember the eager young recruits turning up desperate for a place.
Ian Balfour the old British camp in Dharan is now a teaching hospital. They moved it.
Great guys. Brave, tough, strong and determined. The UK is lucky and privileged that such young men wish to join the army.. Well done...
Great people from Nepal,and always loyal soldiers to the UK.Full respect and my best wishes to them all.It was scandalous their pensions were threatened years ago.
Beautiful and respectful people. Beyond this they are the bravest of the brave
Finally some fairness on recruiting these young lads. I personally know some honkers that are still serving gurkhas regiment who are either the relatives of the PR or who paid some good dose of money. THANK YOU for this new rules. I hope from now on only the best who really deserve to be GURKHAS( bravest of the brave) will join this regiment. Much respect for the GURKHA REGIMENT.
Haha still not fair bro 😂
Respect to all who try for the position for being a gukha. To those who do, I salute you.
Finally a nice comment!
I use to look after some elderly fellas who were in the war and they all had nothing but respect for the Gurkha soldiers. If you mentioned them they would say they were brilliant men, terrific😊
These young men, epitomize what it is to be a motivated individual.
36 days left to selection (intake 2019|20 Wish me a best of luck
(Every Nepalese boys dream is becoming a British Army)
Not everyone brother.there are also people who does not want to become slaves and die for others nation just for a good salary and life.
Yes i agree. But only the mongoloid ethnic tribes of Nepal are to be considered as Gurkha .
Wish ur dream comes towards to ur reality bruh 👍
@Dan Garrington thanks 🙏🙇 man
@@AdmiralUgalClashGaming 🙏🙇🙏💕
The Gurkha's are a credit to their nation and ours. We are incredibly fortunate to have them in the British Army and I think it's a real shame we don't accept more. Our army could only benefit from having more of these brave, strong and polite young men.
It’s really a good thing that Gurkha community is pushing its youths into a bright career 👏🏻in British Army and many more.
Urban myth says he’s still checking that god damn list today!
We need this types of British army record selection..😍😇😇😂😂
Less than 5% will pass these test in Britain
@Classic no I don't think so ,
Rubin Rana then there would not be anyone in their military
When I was 15 , i wanted to join British Gurkha , but not all dreams comes true . Now m 30 and recently joined intermediate fasting in Facebook and jobless as well .
Most deadly guard of Queen in the world. In WW2 Japanese troops has felt their hell of this army units
Gonna apply after 2 years for british army
Im a chettri and heard that gurung ,magar rais are more prioritized
Im working real hard since now hope i pass all of them
my dad who was bahun was a gorkha, i hope you passed you tests . apparently he was well treated when he served.
I encountered some Gurkhas once when I was in Delhi. They look like a bunch of kids but they are really tough. The Argies found this out during the Falklands War as did the Communists in Burma and the Japanese in Asia.
As did the British.thats why we recruited them.
This video really memorized n got back me intake 2006 2007 2008 2009 wow that moment was wonderful .
Good luck new commerce bhai haru !!!
Fantastic regiment. Were so lucky to have them
I will also come in british intake 2021/2022
Much respect and love to Nepalis and their famous Gurkha soldiers from Bali, Indonesia. Indonesian armed forces and the Gurkhas met in the field of battle several times especially during the Indonesian revolutionary war and Malaysian Confrontation in the 60's. sad the Gurkhas and Indonesian armed forces were on opposing side at that time. however let's past be past, in the future I hope both armies could train together on a regular basis and be even more professional in tackling modern challenges.
As a native European. LOVE the native Gurkas. Bad ass!
Wish me for 2023
Hardcore. True hardcore. England knows that they will get the best of the best of the best. Good luck to them all!
Being as a Nepali citizenship what i suggest to my present government is to build up a good infrastructures such as business wise or make big efforts in nepali arena so it can help our young lads not be joined in aboard army jobs unless or delayed it should be wish sooner our Nepalese brothers be happy florite in their own motherland.
Kiratis should not only focus on lahure and singing field. kiratis are multi-talented and hardworking people. the main character of kiratis are they are not corrupt. kiratis are honest by race. i hope kiratis comes into political power in nepal. i want to see kiratis as prime minister, defense minister finance minister, law minister and foreign minister. kiratis plz stop lahure tradition. this lahurism has been good for kirat people for last 200 years but now kiratis must change their career path. we need kiratis in nepali politics and government jobs. kiratis plz stay in nepal and empower nepal.
i don't trust bahunbadi leaders anymore. they cannot be trusted anymore. ask any nepali people and we know what bahunadi leaders have done for nepal. we want to see the change of government in nepal. we want to see kiratis rai limbu magar gurung in nepali politics and taking up government role instead of just becoming foreign mercenary for the british army.
Oh hi CZcams troll.
Somehow, I’m with you brother.

Make us proud lads.
It takes a hard and long process to become a GURKHA .
DRO to accomplish !
Nelson GURUNG less than 200 make it out of 20 thousand each year. Unless your the Rambo of your area with the brains to match it. Your not getting in
Gurkhas are the fierce fighter, I mean,they are the real organic soldiers. I respect the Gurkhas from my heart.
2:29 Singapore Police Force Gurkha Contigent personels are also present at the Gurkha Selection.
i wont say that the selection process of gurkha recruiting in nepal is not free, fair ,and transparent but i would like to say that in some cases the selection is not fair because most of the capable young man are thrown out from selection due to the mistake count of PTI mostly in sit up and when they make mistake we cant even speak a single word against them so most of the capable young man aren't selected in british army from gurkha
I hear that but Britain don't need the best. They need people capable of the job in all aspects. When I joined the British army they made selection slightly easier cos not enough people was applying. In Nepal they have to find ways to get what you want and forget the rest. Most probably 20% are good enough but they don't have the places for everyone.
@@constantinvaldor3742 well above 20% are fit enough to serve in any army. Most people alredy know the standards for selection, so it is safe to say only some of the fittest apply. I'm sure apart from medical disqualifications over 80% of them have practiced and capable of passing all the physical tests. The physical tests dont seem to be the choke point, its mostly the written exams and the medical ones.
And yeah i agree, not all can be selected but it is only due to limited vacancies, otherwise most that apply would be fit enough for a basic recruit in any army in the world.
Hell and I failed bcoz of my looks 😅😅 they said me OA(overage). And that time i was only 18 and half 😭
hope 2022 will be best year for me and all gurkha dreamers and i can achieve my goal to be a gurkha
Chhetri & baun are the first and pure Gorkha you need to know but I rarely see them in British Army
Thank you for uploading video
huge respect to these young men. I hope we are/have been treating them fairly i.e. not underpaying them or using them as cannon fodder. I'm surprised we've set the pass rate at only 3% -- surely we ought to have recruited more of them before appealing to UK snowflakes and binge gamers lol
I liked how that young deputy was talking masha allah
The Gurkhas the pride of the British army loyalty and respect for close to 200 years with as god bless them 🏴👍😄
Re the title: I would imagine they would run rings around most of our usual recruits, good luck to each and every one of you 👍
I love British Army
Sandesh Rai You obviously don't know you're history.
The hong kongians will be joining the British army next. We love the native Gurkas for their service. True allies forever!
Sandesh Rai You silly arse you do you're time with them and you rely on charity and other orgamisations to look after you they have now washed their hands of you.
hindus love brits we all know , rss workers used to work as brits spy for spying indian freedom fighters.
Why would that matter? History is over. As long as we don’t repeat it, we can move on. It’s sad keyboard warriors like you who prevent that unfortunately.
No wonder the Gurkhas in the British Army are so special, they are essentially the top 3% of Nepali men. You take the top 3% of any country and you'll get some seriously high quality soldiers.
Do you know out of originally 10, 6 gurkha regiments are with Indian Army....
M proud to be associated with many 1st and 3rd Regiment Gurkhas.
Jai Maha kali, Ayo Gurkhali.
Hahaha 😂😂😂😂
And fought by Britishs

I wish our country would recognize that we are casting away these precious gems. They would have made excellent youths in the development of Nepal in the years to come.
Sadly Modi and Prachanda are no George Washington or Winston Churchill. :(
In the British army, they learn many skills and trades which can be useful to Nepal, if they choose to return home.
Great videos
I loved working with the Gurkhas.
its a pity that the same standards don't apply to all young men joining the British army,
What do you mean? All recruits in the British army have to pass several medicals, written exams and physical tests.
Sheesh I feel the stress of not making the cut for being a Gurkha
This is what soldier is about, the spirit of true on their application, and not like U S. Army has to bribe prospect applicants of just signing in.
Tell what kind of bribes are given to applicants for the U.S. Army.
I'd like to know
UK should put more money into it, take every nepali who passes the test dont put a cap on how many
It's a lot of work and effort for only 300 soldiers. The gurkha regiment has 3500 soldiers in total.
It is better to die than be a coward
Respect
mOst Gurkhas will be from Gurung..Rai..Magar..Tamang..Limbu.. ethnics grOup
"They get into British army there whole families life will change" same thing they use to say back in colonists era
s r yeah buts it’s true tho
Well a 100 years ago women had no rights. They weren’t allowed to study much or get a real job. They had no human rights back then. Things are much different now isn’t it. My dad served in the British army for 20 years in the Queen Gurkha engineers and I grew up in Britain. Free healthcare, free dental care until the age of 18. I received a better opportunity in life than 95% of the people in Nepal. My cousins who’s18 are making 8 thousand rupees a month at his part time job. That’s 54 pounds. I make just under 2 thousand pounds a month in my apprenticeship at 19. That’s 291345.74 rupees in one month. I make what he makes in a month in a day. I brought a bmw at 17. He probably won’t ever buy a car unless he becomes a taxi driver. So there’s a big difference in how life was a 100 years ago and now.
No wonder the ghurkas are such good mates with the aussies, very proffesional recruitment process
Wow what a beautiful british army
wish u all be selected in laure 😮😮😮😮
This year , selection process is very tough.
If you say that you don't fear Death, you are either lying or a Gurkha.
Ive heard stories of gurkha missions annihilating an entire batallion, keeping just few prisoners and neutralizing the rest. Happened in the falklands war
The gurkhas did not engage the enemy in the Falklands.
Reminds me of the Turkish Jannisary Corps....recruiting people from outside the country to serve in an elite military force loyal to your government.....
Just don't understand that any manpower shortage in the British Army is not made up with an increase of Gurkha numbers. It appears many highly motivated young men don't make it, it would be easy to increase numbers with them.
Citizenship for every Gurkah and family if they wish to have it,that's the absolute minimum that could be done.
That has been their right for many years now. Following four years service, they can apply. It is better that they return home to contribute their newly acquired skills and develop Nepal.
Heartfelt moment when they do not get selected
Why not serve your own country, make your own country better
They will , they just take a few hundred.
Yah they are serving their country by going abroad.. pple know Country Nepal by only two things
Gurkha and Mt Everest
If government were better, system were better ,jobs and pays were better in Nepal then no one would work their ass off to go abroad for better life for themself and their family. I will def recommend for all to go abroad and work for better life cuz i know Nepal system will nvr change..
Corrput Nepalese government leaves no foundation for people to do good for their own country. British only takes around 300 young people yearly. Young Nepalese leaves in 10s of thousands yearly to countries like Australia, US, Qatar, Saudi etc. Sad truth.
Sold before and now its Very deep Inside Already a culture now.
@@MrBrightSide77Singapore too.
We should take more they are amazing
Jai Gorkhali Jai Nepal
first of all you dont need to select them to call them gorkhas. they are already gorkhas. they are brave and fearless.
I think the british should pay and fund as many as possible, not reduce the standards but just ensure that everyone that is capable is taken on rather than leaving some out because not being enough spaces
Here in the USA, immigrants do well in the army. If they're recent arrivals, then they haven't been raised in American sedentary living (TV, video games, iphones) and are in better shape. I can see why Britain keeps a regiment made of Nepalese recruits.
As long as they don't take a selfie with Tommy, im sure they'll make it in
Damn what people do to get a British Citizen
Nobody wants to serve the queen miles away it’s just the poor people who wants a good life for them and for their family.
A Gurkha is a formidable opponent, look up Gurkha Bishnu Shrestha. This man was retired when this happened.
i have mad respect for the Gurkha because 1 they serve our country even if they aren't from it, and 2. they saved my great grandfather during a war which i cant remember because i never asked my parents about it.
To be a british army good sight is needed right?? I also want to be one of them i am studying PCL nursing 1st year now.isnt there provision of army nurse??
I was also the tryed this year for Singapore police force I pass the Aro selection but I couldn't select in dro selection😴😢😢
I love nepali gorkha jay nepal
They're mercenaries who fight for Brita in India to name two but not their own country
not according to APGC77 Art 47.E & F
Lol i used to train like military since my uncle is Special Forces . Huh it very painful every summer time i had to go and stay with him . Damn he trained me but not his own son . But thanks to him i'm strong enough . He love to beat me when training . He says i got no problem with military qualification since i always trained their way . But i wanted to be S.A.S . A chance i wanted so much but sadly i don't live in UK .
Nathan Remix the SAS is hard to get into mate
Compare these to the young spoilt thugs in the UK nowadays
why Nepal government allow their citizen to join british army?
Is not it bad thing for their country?
The economic influx helps a lot, set up your entire family for life, plus serving the queen of England is like serving a deity from what i understand.
I participated in the british gurkha selection for previous three years. And as per my personal experience, all information are correct except they said that the question paper are sold for few money. #Yellowjournalism
