Amateur attempt world class Military Drill

Plot Twist Magnus actually joined the army, and now he's just vlogging it.

I was in the military about a year ago. One time we had some people from the kings guard stay in our barracks. They made their beds too well for our standards, so we had to make their beds less perfect so that their standards would not become our new standard in the company.

The level of English of everyone in Norway is absolutely incredible

The one guy who has donated his rifle to Magnus and does everything perfect with no rifle.. the real MVP

Marinejegerne = Norways "navy seals". Vote this up I think Magnus would be in for the physical challenge of his life!

"We're not gonna do a collab with the Norwegian king." Aight that needs to happen now.

This is the video definition of "He's a little confused, but he's got the spirit."

I don't know what is more impressive, Magnus effort in trying to get this right or the Norwegian Army allowing him in to try this stuff. So amazing,

“Don’t touch the bayonet like that.” “Oop sorry” 🤣🤣

Magnus gained next level of trust from government! Its impressive that you have access to be there! 😎 Production quality so amazing! Looks like documentary film!

Magnus did amazing. Honestly, there’s always a moment in Drill and Ceremony where the person has reached mental saturation after they have begun to get better at simple things. They stop actively thinking about those simple things and mistakes happen. The muscle memory isn’t there yet, but the mental memorization almost is. That usually takes longer than just a couple hours. You can see this moment in Magnus’s face when he knows he shouldn’t have made a simple mistake. But, then there is always a period of growth directly after that where those simple movements become reinforced and more complex movements become possible for memorization. All in all, excellent job.

That one guy without a gun was still killin it!

For people complaining about the lack of climbing content: Keep in mind that we're in the middle of a pandemic, and that gyms are closed in the region around Oslo (where Magnus is at). I'm sure he'll do more outdoor climbing once it gets slightly warmer.

As an ex-British King's Guard, this is super interesting to see. I always felt like the Norwegians do this stuff a lot better than we do. And I think this video confirmed it. Thanks!

Oh dear, how this brings back memories from 2016-2017. It looks awfully strict, and that's because it is.. However, it's something you grow to love over the one year in that company: - Strategies to get rid of wrinkles and stay wrinkle free. - Folding a nice wardrobe. - Way too much to do in a short amount of time. Most days eating was a rush, and you learned to eat a full dinner in just a few minutes to get back to business (Also, from the point you start to perform for an audience, it can and will be extremely tight schedules.) - Late nights practicing outside in temperatures below 0 degrees C. - The hardened bump you got on your hip-bone from smacking the M1 with force against it during training and pain-tests between us for fun. Some got bruises that looked like galaxies around that area. - The sound of marching and the M1 Garand became quite arousing when it was JUST right. The more everyone put into it, the better it sounds, and it felt powerful. The sound of a good "holdt" (stop) was intense. - The overly strict inspections. (Sgt. Gresseth always found a new spot with some traces of dust with every inspection, it's frightening what that man would do to make sure he found something. In a good way, hahah.) - And of course: the maintaining of the spit shine that took 20m-1h every night. And the movies and improving of the spit shine during weekends. (If you made a mistake or were a bit careless, you'd have to fix it asap and it would ruin your sleep. You use them even while you train, so it's common to smack the Garand a bit too close to your shoe, as in on your toes.) Really been looking forward for some more exposure of that company. I love these bits on YouTube, but it's a lack of them sadly. It's not really just something you do, it becomes a lifestyle you grow to enjoy and love.

I love how relaxed Andreas looks all the time. Even with his arms crossed he's so chill.

It’s amazing to see how much Magnus looks up to these guys, just smiling ear to ear the whole time

Great job Magnus. Having been a member learning drill, then teaching it, then overseeing the teaching of it throughout my career I can say that if all of our candidates picked it up as fast as you we would be lucky!

Magnus, you really put yourself out there. To be in a hall with so many professionals and not being overwhelmed is as impressive as your pull-up records!

As a gymnast and a former soilder in the drill platoon, I must really say I've been enjoying your videos lately. I must have spent more than a thousand hours going back and forth in that hangar, and I can literally smell this video. Giving me a nostalgia trip like nothing else. I think you did great! Keep up the epic videos!
