Great content and insight mate, I’ve just turned 23 and finished my uni degree and made the decision to join the Royal Marines. Will definitely be buying your training plan to get help me get to the fitness standard 👍🏻🇬🇧
Amazing bro! Go for it mate perfect age! Be great to have you on board! 🙌
Really enjoying your content pal.
Turned 23 in Jan, I finished my NVQ Lv3 in electrical installation but I am just not satisfied with it…
I’ve got an exit strategy now at least and I have decided to apply to join the marines.
I’ve signed up to the course to help me prep for the upcoming phases 💪🏼
Inspirational
Thanks bro
Great advice Royal. Still preferred the old ways. Tests at Careers office. PRMC then RT. Seems slightly diluted now? Could be wrong.
Good Advice , Also id also say if your not used to doing it, Get your ADMIN sorted for the Induction Phase, get a good iron and start ironing your shirts trousers polishing your boots ,buy a pair at the army navy store and polish every day this will help massively from the start . If your an average swimmer get down your local pool with a weights belt on and start with breadths then move onto lenghs .The Battle Swimming test is not talked about or in any of these documentaries But Was one of the hardest tests for me to pass at Lympstone if you don,t pass it early on it can be a nightmare as the weeks go by . Check out on you tube "Commando swimming test " or "dirty sanchez 2/4 "royal marines swimming test" and you,ll see what i mean if your Not prepared. Good Luck in your pursuit of the Coveted Green Berry
Absolutely amazing video mate, just hearing you talk about the challenges makes me want it more! Great informational video though, keep up the great work 🤜🏻
Amazing mate! Thanks for the feedback! Absolutely go for it bro!
@@CompleteCommando when you talk about phrases that kept you going I was told one by an ex-royal. It goes ‘are you hurt, or are you injured?’ When the muscles are burning and that voice in your mind is telling you to stop I always think of that phrase and keep pushing.
@@realmealdeal1999 Love that mate!
Great advice, i’m 19 and i’ve just completed my DAA and the rest of my application. I was unsure at first but after watching some of your videos i know i want to become a royal marine commando without a doubt
Class mate go for it! Great career, you won't regret it.
Was just wondering do you have to complete every DAA assessment or is there a set few?
What stroke is the swimming assessment for my cpc 24th this month
I’m 13 and have a dream to join the Royal Marines but I’m not sure if I’m at the right age to start very high intensity exercises. Do you have any tips for someone who is just starting and at a younger age.
Love the content and information! Im 30 and looking to join the reserves, I know it’s a bit late but really want to give it a shot. Do they look for anything different if applying for reserves compared to regular full time?
Nope it's just easier and less committment
How you getting on with the application for reserves mate?
Anyone that wants to join any form of military service should join a good wrestling program . It is the best prep you can do other than actually joining the official military program you want.
Hi I’m currently 17 would the training plan be suitable for me? Cuz I probably wouldn’t be as strong as an adult.
Great video, I’m currently 17 and I plan on joining the Royal Marines at 19 once I finish a military prep course. Just a question, do you get to specialise in certain areas once you do pass the initial training?
You get allocated a role for the first 2 years then there’s a large range of roles you can specialise in
@@sammortimer582 or get pinged into 🤦🏻
Hey Mate, I’m a 15 year old male. Just about to finish my year 11 and am going to go on to do sixth form.
I have been working out for two months on strength and endurance. I wanna join the RM commandos at age 20. Is there anything you can suggest to help me get in my best physical/mental state to try even have a chance at this greatness of a career?
Don’t overtrain yourself, the only tests you’ll face for the first phase are all body weight tests; pull ups, press ups and sit-ups etc. as far as running goes don’t bother running with weight, you’ll risk injury before you even get there, just do regular runs every other day 10km ideally but feel free to run a bit further once a week
Can you call home during basic training? How much free time do you get day to day in that 32 weeks?
Of course you can call home. I suggest after you've done your admin, revision, block jobs to the required standard etc. Then, if you've not passed out in your pit, give them a bell. I tried not to for a few weeks, to avoid feeling homesick. Once that sets in early doors it's game over. You don't get much free time at all, maybe the odd day at weekends these days? Not sure. Or unless you've got leave.
I've got my PJFT+ in a week any tips? At the moment i'm just continuously doing the circuit just to get my body used to it I can complete 2 runs of the circuit just need to dig deep to strive for the last one
give yourself the last 2 days off to rest before hand
If you have any issues with any of the movements add extra work on those movements. Sounds like you're all over it though mate.
dont rest on your laurels , keep getting fitter between now and PRMC and PRMC to training . always push to be fitter than you have to be .
@@ChillT157 yeah thanks mate. Was going to take the gas off for a day or two for after I complete it for recovery. But other than that press onto CPC with the same intensity as i'm carrying myself with now.
@@marblerun5149 good luck
When did they add this 4 week bit ? .... thought it were pjft prmc and then rt ?? Never heard of rop
I'm 35 can I still join?
whats the day to day living like in the royal marines? what are most of the lads like to live with? Im interested in the royal marines or paras but have heard some negative stories about being in the paras which is apparently rife with bullying and genral cuntiness. Also would you say royal marines get the opportunity to travel more than other infantry units? Also do marines ever get the opportunity to do airbone training? A lot of questions but I cant find the answers anywhere online. Thanks mate
you can earn your wings as a royal marine (so yes you can do airborne training)
There's cuntiness everywhere in the mil mate. But being a Royal far exceeds any other reg. Especially the Pongo's.
The Future Commando Force concept will see us forward based in potential hot spots around the world, we aren't part of the Infantry Arms Plot so we don't do the dross tours that army infantry do on rotation.
I cracked +30 countries in my 20ish yrs service although clearly lots of them were 💩 holes! 😁
Getting your Wings isn't too difficult in the Corps, you can get them from Recce Troop, SFSG, Cdo Air Support, SB Support, Mountain Leader etc. although it's very competitive it's often down to how you manage your own career.
My son is on 2 Para, he absolutely loves it and has had an incredible 4yrs. They do get treated waaaaaay different to how we do (they're all treated like utter idiots by their SNCO) and their Battalion Admin is shockingly bad (he's been on Sennybridge with no transport booked to get them back to Colchester and Otterburn ranges with no live ammo ordered!) but ... that evacuation they did in Afghanistan shows you exactly how professional and together they are.
It's all down to personal choice, try getting on a 'look at life' session for both of them and go for what suits you mate.
Thank you for your reply, very detailed and a lot to take away. I definitely will try to visit both. I’m almost certain Royal Marines are for me as they are smarter than a lot of infantry units and I’m extremely interested in the anti piracy work and travel. Thanks again!
@@aaronhughes7573 our entry education requirements are marginally above average infantry levels and our blokes tend to join a couple of years later (time needed to built up fitness etc) so we tend to be a bit more mature which makes things a lot better when you first join.
Don't get me wrong, it's brutal and it stays that way throughout your career but it's worth it.
When you go on Ops with NATO partners and they all know who and what you are it's a real buzz and you wouldn't get that level of respect in any other unit, that prestige spurs you on every day, always pushing to be better.
There's a new program, Commando, on this Sun at 20.00 on bbc2, give it a watch to fire up your enthusiasm 😁
Could you speak on accommodation
What would you like to know mate?
@@CompleteCommando How would accommodation work as i would be leaving home
What time should I be running 5ks in I currently run around 19:50 is that too slow ?
Not at all. Great time for entry .
It's not a great time but it's an acceptable time.
All the standards are on the RN/RM site.
If you're only hitting them after a nice night's sleep in your own bed and your mum making you breakfast then you need a bit more work.
But don't stress it, the standards are high not unachievable.
Tens of thousands of lads have made the standard and passed.
Just set out a structured approach to consistent training, nutrition and sleep and positive progress will happen.
what gcses do i need to become a royal marine?
3s & 4s
None . But in training you'll get made do maths and English classes if you don't have a certain level of qualification. Cant remember what level .
No PRMC?? Times have changed.
a wooden top is essential .
Wrong service.
Sensible lads of course join either the RN or RAF as either a pilot or engineer. Much better pay and loads of jobs after leaving. Not much call for running around with a gun after leaving the RM
Me and many of my friends are doing very well having been RM but thanks for your concern.
@@CompleteCommando RMs is still a 2nd rate military job though, just like the knuckle head paras
@@jjsmallpiece9234 My brother is a RAF officer and he disagrees with you. All the best
Or you could be a Royal Marine Pilot, best of both worlds…
Technically: They're not Special Forces.
Practically: For all intents and purposes.... They're Special Forces.
🤫
No, we really aren't.
We're a specialised light infantry force.
Not SF.
