Was British Army Basic Training Really This Brutal in the 1990s? | British Army Veteran Reacts

British Army Basic Training, 1990s Army recruits, drill instructors, military training, Army discipline, and life as a young recruit are all on display in this look back at how British soldiers were trained in the 1990s. As a former British Army Airborne soldier, I'm reacting to the shouting, drill, discipline, and challenges faced by recruits during basic training. In this reaction, we take a look at what British Army training was really like before many of the modern training methods used today. From drill square discipline to instructors pushing recruits to their limits, this video shows a side of military life many civilians never get to see. Whether you're a veteran, currently serving, considering joining the military, or simply interested in British military history, this footage offers a fascinating insight into Army life. 📌FOLLOW us on Social Media 👇 ► Instagram: 🔗  / britishmuslimexsoldierreacts   ►Facebook: 🔗https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... ►TikTok: 🔗  / alexanderkhanveteran   🎬 Second Channel: Frontline Chaos 👇    / @frontlinechaosak   [War footage, atmosphere, soldier perspective & frontline reflections] ► SUBSCRIBE so you never miss another video 👇    / @alexanderkhanveteran   🤙 Thanks for watching, commenting and supporting the channel👇 📚 Check out my Books 👇 https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Alexa... 🛒 Check out my Merch: Silent Valour 👕 👇 https://alexander-khan-veteran-shop.f...
