In this video I've answered a few of the most common questions that I get asked on a daily basis. 1. What's the lifestyle like in the Marines? A hard question to answer really! like all the military adverts say everyday is different, it all depends what is going on in the world or your units training program. 2. Will I specialize after training? YES! Most people will specialize after 18 months ...

      The largest commitment is for the training it's pretty much one weekend a month for a year and a half and one evening during the week for a couple of hours. After that they like you to do at least 28 days a year but it dosnt all have to be in one go. Yes you can go away with the regular marines on deployments abroad or on exercises in the UK.

    Quick question, I recently got bad symptoms of shin splints and haven’t been running for the last 3 weeks to rest and ensure I recover before it gets too bad and I know I shouldn’t lie on the medical questionnaire but I really don’t want to be TMU due to having a ‘lower limb’ injury as I will be more than physically ready by the time I start training until after I’ve done my A level exams in a years time and a quarter, do you think I should still mention it in my interview??

      @gay_commando1611 3 роки тому

      Have you been to the doctor about it? If not then I wouldn't bother. You just need to makes sure your 100% better before starting training as you will end up in Hunter fairly quickly if you go down there with an injury.

    Is there much opportunity to pursue other qualifications in the marines? One of the things putting me off applying is that when I leave the marines I'll have no decent qualifications or trades so i won't be able to find work

    • @gay_commando1611
      @gay_commando1611 3 роки тому

      Most of the trades you will get recognised qualifications for some like signals you can do up to degree level. Each each year you also get learning credits which is money towards any courses that you want to do. There is also options to re do maths or English gcse's if you didn't get above a c and also options to do a levels if you want to. I'm currently working with a corporal who will be doing a mental health degree whilst still in the marines. You have to be pro active with it tho as no one will force you to do anything. A lot of the time people that say they left with nothing are the ones who sat in their rooms every night playing COD.

    • @gay_commando1611
      @gay_commando1611 4 роки тому

      A lot of the stuff on that show is for entertainment. You occasionally get a mental drill leader that will tell you to sleep naked but it will proberly only be for the first 2 weeks if atall. I mean if you want to go in the marines there a lot bigger things to be thinking about than sleeping naked. Plus now there are females in training its very unlikely you will have to any more.

    I can confirm number 3 and this happens in every force. Basic training is always the hardest part, that is when you are broken and then made into forces. Trade training is easier and less rigid but you still get some of the shit. As soon as you pass out 100% most of the forces are chilled, some are still arseholes though. You would be able to tell the arseholes straight away, if you are a lower rank and they are an NCO if they still wanted to be called CPL, SGT etc they were the arseholes. I used to call 90% of my superiors by their first name. Oh and when you get to your first base, then expect some initiation. I had one ask me to go to photographic station and get a long weight, I kept telling him that I was not that stupid, however, he insisted and because I was new, I said ok. I went and ended up having a coffee with Chris the CPL and after about an hour I went back to my section, and my CPL asked where I had been, so I explained but never got told off. That was just one example 1) Long Wait 2) Glass Hammer 3) Tartan paint are just some of the ones.
