  • It takes a special state of mind to be a Royal Marines officer. Because you will lead your men during vital missions -- in all weather, all circumstances and across every terrain.
    You'll need to excel in leadership, planning, tactics and decision making. Because you'll be responsible for the morale, training, effectiveness and the wellbeing of the men under your command. But with the training you'll get at Commando Training Centre Royal Marines (CTCRM) you will develop all the skills you need to be an effective leader.

    Training to be a RM Officer is particularly tough. You must be super fit, and that includes whole body. You need to be able to operate when cold and soaked through, either by immersion or inclement weather. You must be able to operate on little sleep and still lead your chosen men. At the end of all this, you must be able to share a few jokes with your men. Training is long and arduous, and only the very best will make it through. An important point -- You must be able to recognise right from wrong and take that course of action which would bestow honour to your Service, your men, and your friends and family. It is a tall order.

    I’ve wanted to become a RM officer for years now. Finally submitted an application last week, before my A-levels. I’m already at a good physical ability from years of weight training but I plan to to do everything I possibly can to be in the best physical shape over the summer. I understand the application process is tough and arduous but I have faith in my ability to try my very best. And if it doesn’t work out, then best be sure I’ll be back next year for more.

    • @FrankyBabes
      @FrankyBabes 10 років тому +11

      The Royals are actually pretty good at getting you readjusted. The Army's not bad either but because the Marines are such a small outfit, they tend to take much better care of their membership. As a regular Marine you'll have opportunities to do BTECs and other qualifications for your specialisations and the same is true of officers to a certain extent (apparently). But the other thing about an officer is that their job is essentially a management and leadership role which has huge applications in the civilian workforce.

      However you can be placed within sniper ops. In the end mate, trust, you don't want to be a sniper. Shitting in cling film and lying in pneumonia giving conditions? There's a reason Officers don't do it.

    • @Bootneck-RMC
      @Bootneck-RMC 7 років тому +1

      @Statiq, it;s not just snipers who use clingfilm, ordinary Marines use it as well as they can also be in a OP situation.
