Ever wondered what makes Royal Marines training so hard? here's an insight into the challenges that await you after your PRMC.
That girlfriend tip.. 😂👍 already binned her off. Great info.
Gota be cruel to be kind 👍
Hahahaha
One of the best videos explaining what the training is actually about, it's being able to dig out blind when it's all going wrong when your cold, wet and miserable and all you want to do is sleep, and not giving in. The training is longer than in my day but the result is still the same, wearing the green beret, nobody can take that away from you, it was the proudest day of my life when I first wore my beret on the passing out parade. In fact that beret is sitting in my wardrobe now and I passed out in 1971and I still miss the comradeship of being a member of an elite organisation. So for those who are thinking about joining, go for it, it isn't easy it's not meant to be, but the feeling when you pass out you will remember for the rest of your life. From a seventy-year-old ex bootneck .
Brilliant stuff Keith thank you mate! I will never forget the day I passed out. Massive respect to you Royal.
Massive respect sir.....hoping to be part of the Elite soon
This is the best and most candid account I've seen.its nothing to do with fitness it's the sleep deprivation and pressure that is the crux
Big compliment that, thank you mate!
@@CompleteCommando yes good channel it takes me back 35 years fun times
Green lid is the goal, and I'll get there!
Yes mate!! Tunnel vision on that mate!
As the mum of a recently passed out RM this is bang on. Prospective nods should watch this as it gives insight into what to expect beyond the Phys. It's not the fastest or the fittest, it's the most determined. And in RT, EVERY troop is the worst troop ever!
Brilliant, thank you Sarah! Think The Marines is harder on the mums then the sons!
Yes the training is certainly challenging, but you don't have to be a superman. I certainly wasn't. If you have the correct mental attitude and a big dose of determination you can do it.
I joined as a junior entry in 1961, and passed the commando course about 4 weeks after my 18th birthday. Served for a total of 10 years. Best decade of my life !!
100% Robin!
Thankyou mate 👍
Hitting all the topics others overlook, great video!!
Thank you mate 👍
The over thinking of carrying weight and the time trial stipulations has the potential to be counter productive. Follow the basic tuition for performing individual exercises from the PTI staff and train to complete the necessary criteria. The rest is just a matter of turning up and giving it your 100%. It’s simple, you can’t give more than that. Cold, tired, wet, uncomfortable and hungry? The only way to find out is to go through it. I have gone to that place many, many times. The difference is that within a Commando Unit you will do it with a smile on your face. This is 100% true. I never went a day in the Corp without having an absolute gut wrenching laugh, regardless of what, or where I was doing it. The lads you meet through your career are a rare breed. I have dit’s that are difficult to spin to even some of my civvy mates as they are so unbelievable to them.
The best advice I ever had before joining my basic training was from the WO2 on the PRMC “make sure that your heart is bigger than your head” it soon made sense to me.
This is so spot on mate, love it!
Thank you mate!
Brilliant thanks Sam
Starting training soon your videos are massive help thanks !
Great to hear mate! Stay in touch when you're in bud. 👍
Brilliant stuff👍.
Great video mate ,well put together and explained
Glad you enjoyed it
Very good Royal! Sleep deprivation was definitely the worst especially after night navex and having to do a route card before stand to and kit musters...urrgh!
Thank you mate appreciate that 🙏
Great video, thank you
Cheers.mate glad it's helpful
Ayup Royal. That’s proper hard to go on video and say the stuff the way you did👍Good effort. It’s so hard to stand up and speak in what is an alien tongue to most civvies, but be able to explain it so they can actually relate to it. I think that’s exactly how the Corps should be trying to sell itself more, lads/lasses want to hear real life as well as see the new UA-cam Commando videos. (As hoofing as they are) All young people do due diligence as a matter of course compared to years ago. They want to know the gen, and as Gucci as the phots etc are, there’s only a small amount of people that join without caring what the life’s like, most have a plan these days, and if they get to see this I think they’ll get it bud👍
Hi Richard, thank you very much for that chuck up! Really appreciate that, it means a lot! 👍
Inspirational man no pain no gain
Great video lad currently week 18 and always enjoy hearing its worth it in the end haha
Good effort mate! 100% worth it! Nothing worth having is easy to get. Once you pass out that's when the cool stuff begins! 👍
Did you pass out with the green lid?
i passed out in 2010 and i definitely was jealous of civies walking about haha. lymstone blues were my biggest challenge. keep up the good content Royal
Haha I passed out the same year mate. 24th September. I hated Civvies for years..even my nan
Excellent video well worth watching.plus spot on too. Good to see nothing changed .I'm 1980 vintage but still all true then and now.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Mark. The good old days 👍
Mate, I have my vpjft soon, and your videos are really helping to get an insight on the life and mindset. Cheers
You pass it ?
@@claireharbottle7434 yes, I got a strong pass.
you made it in?
Hows it going
great video
That sounds so interesting.
Thanks mate
Amazing video
Cheers bro
Well articulated. Can’t wait to start next month. Recently they’ve changed the pre entry requirements. You now do 4 weeks down there instead of prmc, 4th week is assessment week after which you commence 32 weeks training.
Thanks mate. Smash it mate, let me know how you get on. Yes mate ROP now, think it makes a lot of sense. Would you let me know what its like, would be interesting.
@@CompleteCommando Would assessment likely be a run through of the PRMC?
@@chrislee2483 yes
Did you make it
In your places for camp circuit, GO!
🤮🤮🤮
I’m 24 and have been looking into the marines as it’s now or never ! I don’t want to live in fear of myself . I feel like I need this structure and pressure, kick up the ass too .
Whats stopping you mate?
@@CompleteCommando it’s more just being anxious about the change even know it’s what’s best ! I can be relentless but I have to much self doubt !
@@CompleteCommando the thought of being an underachiever and regretting all my decisions later on brought me to want to push my self beyond . But I’ve with no guidance potential can be pushed away .
I was 24 when I did my Commando training and I think it helped
I did the Commando course with a metal bar in my left leg from my hip to my knee
Blood 709
Good video, cheers. How fit were you going in to training?
Cheers bud. Yer very fit as I was boxing a lot at the time. I'd say mainly focus on getting really good at the basics: press ups, sit ups, pull ups and runs up to 3 miles long. Hill sprints are brilliant. Have a look at the Royal Marines training programme bud will massively help
Cant decide if I want to join 29 commandos or the royal marines both look amazing trying to get fit and prepared for training
What is it you want out of your career?
@@CompleteCommando to travel meet people get experience and learn from people
@@CompleteCommando I'm pretty sure I want to join 29 commando and go onto 148 battery because of the different experiences you can get.
Hi mate started training for the Royal Marines properly at start of this year. Just wondering running wise is doing 1x 3miler and 2x 5 milers a week good enough or do I need to be doing more distance ect. Cheers mate great videos
Hi mate good stuff. I'd just keep your running really varied to start with mate. Anything from a mile and a half to 6 miles. Keep track of times and try and beat them regularly. Example would be:
Day 1: 1.5 mile best effort
Day 2: 6 miles @ 70% effort
Day 3: 3 miles @good strong pace
Sam Logan Fitness cheers mate thanks... keep up the great videos 👍🏻
@@adambamber9368 thanks dude
What a garden!
I’m waiting for my interview, I can’t wait till I start basic training. Just wanted to ask do you think joining the Royal Marines at 28 going 29 is too late ?
Na not at all late mate go for it! Cut off is 32 for a reason 👍

Did you ever consider going SF while you were in the marines?
After getting my lid i remember being happy but thinking it was an anti climax as I felt I could achieve an even higher goal. The training sets targets for you and then you smash the targets and then when you get your beret its done. I remember thinking I could do more now if they told me to.
I agree Paul
You clearly didn't go to Four-Five in the 90s.
It was harder than CTC.
It took me a year to reach the 'unit standard' and I was no biff!
@@JammyDodger45 I went to 45 in 2005 so not the 90s for sure. Troop phys was pretty cheeky no doubt. I also went to FPG and the phys there was no joke either lol. Anyway nice to hear an opinion from a fellow royal 👍
@@Paul-dp6cm - I'm definitely not one of those who says "it was harder in my day", I reckon it's always been an intense experience.
Hopefully it's more scientific than brutal nowadays though.
@@JammyDodger45 even now when I look back and hear from others it's changed alot even since i was there. I started training in 2004 which was nearly 20 years ago now lol. 17 to be exact. Where does the time go lol
Train hard ,fight easy
Would you say 27/28 to old to join or crack on?
Not at all mate. I'm 30 and fresh as a daisy.
do a video of the Royal Marine payment during training and after.
Please 😉
Sam Logan Fitness fr tho 😂. Do you get your training money after you finished training or during?
I’m certain on joining the Royal Marines , I’m only 16 so I’ve still got a whole 2 years to train but I’m really struggling to put on weight so I can gain muscle. I’m 5’10 , 59kg and can’t put on weight, any tips??
Eat more food mate.
@@CompleteCommando make sure it's good grub not too much fried junk. Beef chicken veggies ect drink lots of water
You are only 16, give it a couple of years and you will bulk up
Can you join army commandos if you are already in the army but want to be commando trained ?
Yes. You can't become an Army Commando directly you have to already be in and have completed all Basic and Trade training.
Being able to get on the Commando Course is another question though and its all down to which Capbadge you are.
I thought you only had 2 attempts at SF, have they changed it??
Think it's 3 mate
Pretty sure Ollie Ollerton said in his book that he passed 3rd time. But I’m also sure that Andy McNab said in his book that he can remember being in a truck on the hills phase and there was a guy crying his heart out because he had failed again and this was his second attempt and that meant he couldn’t come back.
In combat , all guys equal you must work as a team
100%
When are the leave periods in commando training ??
Easter, summer, christmas
2 weeks easter, 3 summer, 2 christmas
You only get 2 bites at the cherry. SBS selection. Two fails your out
Not strictly correct, if you're binned for injury it doesn't count as a strike against you.
If you live doing whatever you want, eventually youre a slave to your feelings. If you want freedom from all of that practice discipline.
Longest in the world. Thats a Hard claim :P.
Norway Kystjeger kommandoen ( KJK ) , tthey train witht Royal marine commandos. 12 Months Education before you are "approved" a operator.
Norwegian "Navy seals" MJK - Marinjeger kommandoen - 2 Years before you can be deployed and be a operator, same with FSK ( Forsvaret Spesialkommando ) Equal to SAS in UK.
Royal Marine commandos are good blokes, but dont say its longest in the world :D
I appreciate your comment, but I said 'basic training' within the Royal Marines there is many branches that take far longer to train for. Take the Mountain Leaders for instance. You do 9 months basic training, then you have to serve for (on average 2-6 years) then you do the Mountain leaders course which is 8 months long. From there you can deploy as a mountain leader.
I think he means of all the standard military branches, (not including the special forces)
Lympstone blues 🤢
Horrendous
Oh come on I did it on one leg😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Blood 709
haha
Your not wrong, the Army does do that. And it’s fucking annoying.
i know my friends are holding me back but its hard to just cut people that ive spent all my free time with since school idk what to do, ive tried to convince some of them to join with me but theyve got no interested
