It is not as simple as just turning up to begin your Royal Marines Commando training.
Any potential candidates are faced with strict standards they will need to meet - and exceed - if they are to prove they can make it as a Royal Marines Commando.
There are several stages before someone can take on the initial training and Forces News has been able to join candidates as they take on the Candidate Preparation Course (CPC) stage.

Made me an sas officer,... 10 months of the year off with full pay and said I could marry Princess Anne.... Obviously I turned them down, got the train home and worked in a factory instead. 😅

  • Was very lost when I was 18 and almost joined the RM in 2006. I would've gone straight to Afghan, that was very clear. I didn't care. Chose not to and ended up as a crane operator instead n still managed to travel the world and ended up working on oil rigs in the Danish sector of the North Sea for 6 years before a car crash (then the company going bust while I was recovering). Put an end to that career. Flash forward to recently (my whole life I thought my grandad was manning the AA guns near the coast in nearby Hartlepool during WW2, until this year when my mam told me that my grandad was one of the original Royal Marine Commandos and was at Dunkirk, fought in North Africa and then made his way through Europe. Even picked up a few medals which were stolen in the early 90s just after he died n i was born. Was absolutely gutted when I found out, if I'd known that Back when I was 18 in 2006 I 100% would've joined up. It wasn't like she lied to me, because then I told absolutely nobody about my desire to join. Strange how things work out isn't it. I'm back off to uni this year at 34 to do a history degree....

    • A recruitment for a possible all out war international overseas war, in the Asia and Persians Gulf, perhaps even South China sea. Just as U.S letting those immigrants in like its a welcome gate. yet millions accounted and plus are in the U.S. 1/3 of them immigrants probably on the same try out test like the Royal Marines. Is sad, that after the WW2 history has taught nothing to those leaders that had the opportunity. Now history is about to repeat it's self again. as a general population opinion, peace is better living than hateful grudges over each other. The world, as i mean the whole world. 3rd and 4th world countries are yet to dream of the future. The robotics of the future, where cars on the sky. But if we continue to hate, then we would probably will look alike some other planet like our neighbour Mars. No Life.

  • I was lucky, because I joined as a Junior Marine I did the first part of my training at Deal. I didn't know the first thing about keeping fit (there was no KZhead in those days, in fact there was no internet😀) and I was a farmer's son. They built us up slowly at Deal and then after we passed out of there (we still had to complete a sort of mini Commando test week) after we had marched with bayonets fixed through Deal town we headed back to camp for a full passing out parade. Being senior troop in Deal was nearly as good as being the Kings Squad at CTC (but not quite). We then went to CTC and after a couple of weeks of further training came the commando tests but, by this time I was as fit as butcher's dog as they say. Things were slightly different back in 70's as after we were presented with our Green lids, we then had a further two weeks training before we got our Commando flashes (maybe it was a Junior Marine thing). I don't envy the lads that want to join the finest Corp in the world in this modern age, as if I was their age and had to do what they do to just get into training I would never have made my boyhood dream come true. Good luck to you lads, pain is just in the mind (I wish 🤣)

  • As a proud old retired Four Two Commando Class of 82 Falklands Bootneck, i was totally stunned by the comment about the Endurance course on Woodbury ..”now they change into trainers and run back on their return” shave off. We had to break the ice too get through Peters pool and the sheep dip with our SLR’s in my day, all while wearing 58 pattern webbing DMS boots and puttee’s that soaked up so much water it was like carrying another man’s kit back. I totally understand these young un’s are only on the PRMC, and not actually in recruit training just yet, but better to know exactly what and how they will be doing the Phys and the kit they will be doing it in, surely they don’t change into trainers in Recruit training for the run back nowadays.

I can understand the adventure aspect but get in and get out at a young age when you can find another career because remember if you stay in too long and leave at say for example 35 it's hard to find another career you can't be a comando in civy street and of course theirs no family life when your not on operations you are training for something. Even if you go into private security you will still never be home and that 35 year old body will not work the same so lads get in get out and then find a girl and be a civy and have the memories .

    • The Tests in isolation from the training aren't especially difficult. A good club level Tri-athlete/CrossFitter could pass them (with appropriate introductory training on the Tarzan Assault and Endurance courses). The hard bit is passing them after 29 weeks of degradation culminating with a particularly gruelling 10 day final exercise directly preceding the Tests. That's the 'Commando' aspect.

They’ve pretty much lowered the standards for this 3 day course to get more lads through the door in the initial phases, but after 4 weeks they’ll re test to the old standards. You get 2 chances at ROP and if you fail both then that’s it. It looks like standards have been lowered when you just take this video for face value but they haven’t actually been lowered.

    • Pay is very good in the UK's armed forces, because it is all disposable income if you are single and living in the block. Plus you save lots of money when you are on exercises and operations. If you buy a car you can't afford, or have too many children, then that's your lookout, mate. 🤪 Royal Marines do lots of training because they are a combat unit: it's like being an athlete or a gladiator. You don't have to put the training into use much, but you have to be good when it is needed. If you join any techie/support type trade, then you are more likely to do that most of the time wherever you are. When you get promoted, then you'll often end up in a training post in between postings to operational units.
