Oh I know. I was just making a joke at the expense of those who say selection is "unfair". It goes without saying that I have not only total respect for Marines, but for anyone who has the balls to really try out.
I joined 2 days after my 16th birthday in 1972 as a Junior Marine. Did my basic training in Deal and my commando course at CTCRM, 72 Troop. I was still 16 when I joined 42 Commando.
I actually can't wait to apply, as determined as I am on most things, I just hope my determination or body doesn't fail me for when I attempt my PRMC for the first time.
I did my training in 74. Slightly different now but no less demanding. There's only one thing to remember when the end of the run/yomp is still miles away. Just ask yourself: How much do I want this?
Let me give anyone here a tip from my own experience. If everything from here goes right I will be in at the end of next year, however, I didn’t pass maths in high school so will have to complete a maths test regardless of how fit or otherwise strong. Get maths if your still in high school save you a lot of shite.
Standards looks like they have slipped a bit since I did my prmc in 2014. We had to complete the return run in 10 mins, had to do 65 press ups and aim for 7 pull ups with a minimum of 4!

Oh my gosh the physical and mental endurance these men must achieve is unreal. Amazing amazing men. much love to you guys and what you do. I love the royal marines and I'm not even british haha. They've inspired me to get into the best shape of my life!
We broke our boots in Day 1 of Army basic training by our drill sergeants having us take them off, fill them with water, put them back on and run around our barracks for half an hour. It worked.
Should be joining next summer when i'm out of school, right now i'm just eating loads and going to the gym to get my weight up to 65kg. To whoever else is joining soon, good luck to you and hope to you there!
And that's just the start. Later, they have the Commando Course to look forward to including the 30 miles in 8 hours with full kit across challenging terrain.
A word of warning....I was failed for not clasping my hand behind my head on doing sit ups...so I'd check to make sure you're doing them correctly because doing one bad sit up. Could get you binned.
Had a heat stroke last year so I need a dehydration test done so I was going to just do it because I know I don't typically suffer with heat stroke at all but I also have an absolutely shite history of migraines. The information my GP gave me to give to the medical officers, even though I don't get migraines anymore, it is far from showing I can handle them in a good light even though I am fully capable but I was a kid at the time so I figure a couple more years in it as my last one was only just over 2 years ago and I might be alright, no use attempting it now and risking PMU. Getting picked up on your medical SUCKS ASS. Especially when you know you can cut it but what sucks even more is thinking of something to do in the meantime, feeling like you are wasting your life on other meaningless bullshit when you put your heart and soul into training for the corps.
Chrid Boi Thats really fucking unfortunate mate. Didnt think heat stroke would be enough to stop you though. I hope you make it through in the future buddy.

M hi there mate, wouldn’t consider dropping out of uni cause it’s a hell of an eye opener when you’re down there. I’d recommend running 1.5 miles every 1-2 days at any speed you choose to go and do the classic 50 press ups, sit ups before bed and in the morning. Also find a pull up bar or buy one and do half your maximum effort every day to build up strength. Biggest tip, don’t overthink it and just do what you’re told when you’re told to.
How ever hard it is , I hold my hands up to each and every one of you , its you lot that keeps the great in Great Britain , well done lads you make us all proud
I been runing 10 years by time joine ATC swimming mountaineering too. Had comittment alright.2 lengths!! I did 200 in 2hour.s chjanot do pull hps though all others can do. Mild systemic infection doesnt helpbif you get ulcer all time eounds slow to heal you need treatment it serioujlsly affects performance have determination enfurance. Thats gymnastics the going across floor on stomach and frog leaps warm up used to jump offa pipes in school as kid its great for strength practised jumping across streams run up down hill i found walking back wards huphill helps.hope they pass.

I joined the Royal Marines before there was a PRMC, I doubt if I'd have passed it, but I did pass the Commando Course and served for 10 1/2 years before being invalided following an RTA. So I'm not too sure that I'm a fan of the PRMC.
@williambelford9661 I joined the RoyalMarines in 1961as a junior entry a few weeks after leaving school. At the recruiting office there was a maths test, and some chat from the recruiting staff. After a medical I received a letter with a date that I would be joining the R.M.s at the former Royal Marine's depot at Deal in Kent, 5/9/1961. No PRMC for me or my recruit squad mates. So it was 12 months at Deal followed by 6 months at CTCRM. After completing training I went on to serve 10 years, followed by 3 years on the reserve (which was part of the contract when I joined up). The only commitment on the reserve was just to make yourself available if the 3rd World War kicked off!!!
Remember mine like it was yesterday, anybody wanting to do this make sure you train like fuck, being 16 and naive I didnt train for it I think i did one 4 mile run in preparation, what a shock I got, although I did pretty well in the end it was blisters of all things from the terrible boots that forced me to stop, was asked to return in 4months, no idea why but I never did, probably one of my biggest regrets, good luck to all who go for it
In my 40s now, but believe now I have at this point in my life I have the right mindset for this. However my body is old and my limbs would probably drop off in the PT.
