- Get in the head of a former Royal Marines Commando overcoming challenges and obstacles: amzn.to/3jBUeoI
I have been asked to make a video on why I left the Royal Marines. I left the Royal Marines in 2009 and I believe leaving was actually harder than joining. In this video I explain some of the main reasons why I left.
I have been challenged to attempt some military PFTs from around the world, please comment below what ones you think I should try!
Thanks for watching.
Been asked to try some military PFTs from around the world. What should I try next?
Hey thanks for the uploads Iv been loving the RM videos. What is your opinion of joining RM in late 20s. I am approaching 27, I have passed PRMC and have been offered a place at CTCRM. I really enjoyed the experience. But I was older than most all other applicants there, 10 years older than some lads. I am university educated ( did an agricultural degree, my work background is in farming so used to bad weather and early starts) but applied for the ranks rather than officer as heard ranks is more fun. Most of me absolutely loved it and I’m keen to start but being honest, I am a little worried about my age being a disadvantage or coming to it “a bit late”, I was 2nd oldest there and sometimes felt out of place but not sure if that’s a legitimate worry but sometimes I have doubts in my head like by the time I would have done my general duties I’d already be 29/30, most people would have already been in 5-10 years by that age. Is this kind of life change advisable at my age with regards to career even if I wanted to do just a few years? Will I be at a physical disadvantage during training? Thank you for any advice.
@@adamdexter368 I'm glad you've been enjoying them mate and thank you for watching them. If it's something you want to do then just go for it, it seems the only thing holding you back is you. Do what's best for you - if joining the Marines is what you want - then join the Marines!
Thanks for watching mate
@Lightning Eagle I will look into it and see what it entails thank you for the suggestion
@Ak Snipes thanks for the suggestions mate I will check them out
Try South African “special task force” harder than SAS training .
Your absolutely right mate some people thrive in civvy life I didn't I did 13 years and now I'm a civvy in a shit job I hate with a passion I work with some right fk yards I made a very bad mistake
I hope things get better for you mate there's some muppets out there but also some good ones too! Thanks for watching
You'd smash the US marines fitness test mate, something more challenging would be better.
Thanks mate, they're all very similar, bit of running and some bodyweight exercises. I hate the running bits though 🤣 my training is going to go back to more bodybuilding from the "functional" I've been doing for the last few months, so those tests will be harder for me the longer I leave it. Thanks for watching mate
Fairly certain you can still do that Citizen to SEAL program. You'd need to become a US citizen but you can get that fast tracked if you're intending to join the US military
You will meet the best and the worst people in the world in the Marines .. I met some great people but some really trash .
The security industry. The well trodden path from the military. Depressing work that eats up your life. If only we had hindsight
Cant complain I really enjoyed some of the security jobs I did and I spent years trying to get into the industry and the crap I had to do before that was horrendous. Thanks for watching mate
@@MuscleWorld probably unpleasant about the security industry it's not all bad .I remember security for the royal yacht in hull and before she set sail the royal marines band next to me on the wayside played sunset .I will never forget that beautiful music from such a wonderful band.
@@grahamarnhem8659 I concur, been lucky enough to hear them play at the Royal Albert Hall in 2006 they were incredible!! Amazing stuff, cheers for reminding me of that !
When you said you jumped out of a helicopter do you have to do parachuting in the Royal Marines?
Hi mate - no we would fast rope out of helicopter or they would lower and we would run out the back if it was a merlin with say a ramp, you kinda jump off say a lynx as it doesn't have a ramp. So yeah I meant fast roping though... so maybe I should have said "swung our if helicopter"? Haha thanks for watching mate. Some RMs do para jumps though if you want. But you could just join para reg if wanna do that or look into special force support group.
Thanks for watching
Thank you so much and a great video!!!👊👊💯💯
@@chrispoulter1881 P Company training is worth doing Chris
Do You still consider yourself a Royal Marine ? Carry on the same mindset you had while you were in ?
I'd consider myself a veteran but I don't really bring it up unless I'm asked or it comes into conversation. (Or if I know they do discount 🤣) thanks for watching
@@MuscleWorld haha, thanks for replying.
what is your opinion on the reserves?
I have considered joining the forces for some time now but still unsure so I would like to see what options are there. Thanks
Join the reserves if that suits you better, best of both worlds I imagine. Thanks for watching
Once you've been through ctcrm civilian society became a struggle.
Yes it did, thanks for watching mate and hope you're keeping well
How common is it for people to stay long as they can in the RM?
No idea! I think it depends on the person I don't think I can provide an answer for that one sorry dude
💯👍👍
Thanks for watching
Currently I’m 16 and I really want to join the Royal Marines but when I go to the gym I struggle to motivate myself to stay and push myself to the limit, got any tips?
You tried a training partner? Have you tried setting goals, or hitting challenges?
Muscle World my target is the marines but I’m just not in shape when I look at my self at the gym and see no progress it puts me down not only that but when I am at the gym I just can’t keep that motivation that got me to the gym
@@hotpileofloser1275 do you follow a plan, or just doing a bit of this and a bit of that?
@@hotpileofloser1275 Mate you need to make a plan. There are loads online if you are struggling. If you put in the work you will get results.
I may get a robotic arm out of the deal.
What was your SQ mate?
