The one thing I always wondered about the 30 miler is the blisters these guys must get on their feet. Is this a problem for these guys? I mean I often get blisters just going on a 5km run.
@subway107 with the blister's ETC you cant moan about it you must keep going, when i did my 30 miler in the marine corps yes it is hard but the blister's is the last thing on your mind you just want to finish the test.. so blister's only get cured when they finished the course, any more questions and stuff just msg me - Regards Cpl Matthew Evans
@xUKxASx Yeah same here. Although the 20 minute 3 mile run seems difficult. and the 10 minitue 1.5 mile that you need to do in 10 minutes or under in order to be recruited.
@xUKxASx the royal marine recruit training is the hardest basic training in the world, dont think you can go into it unprepared, you will be droped after the first 5 minuets if you do. i was training for about a year before i went for my PRMC
im almost 14 and ive been planning to apply and know how hard it is which is why I wanna start training really early, any advice of how to run further distances?
@ryanT2792 why is this comment flagged? tea and pasties are british... i'm british and i love both of those things... your getting a click on the NOT SPAM button sir!
Did The Nijmegen Marches This Year, 100miles in 4 Days. Hoping to join marines when im older :). Saw them doin the 100miles running it aswell, crazy! One of em gave me his green beret, and told me good luck. Can't wait!
@wiganerrmc yeah he did m8, thats what you do on the Nijmegen marches in holland, u bring things that represent your branch and we did a swap i gave him my beret and he gave me his. its what we do on the nijmegen marches. obviously you havent done anything like that. so think before you start accusing next time m8
@Hoobler94 well iv been a marine for 5 years and i would never give someone my beret and everyone i no would never give it away people keep there lids for the rest of there lifes and even tho its just a beret it means alot to the people who earn them
@WrightyVideos How many times? If you are a failed RM, tough shit. Apply for the Para's.
Interesting, most failed RMR go for the reserve Para's but stil bullshit online via forums about the Brit Corps, as if they were still there in the Corps.. And you wonder why we in the the USMC piss ourself laughing?
Has ever been a "dummy fight" between Royal and US Mariines? It is interesting to know who is the best trained, even if I have read that British officers are very well trained and the most intelligent in the World, but the US Marines have got the advantage to have black people that are athletically favourished
@anisocoro There sure has been in the past, in Scotland, on a regular basis in the Holy Loch and the surrounding area. Sometimes we would win, at other times the Brit Marines would. It sort of panned-out even between us.
Black US Marines are no better, nor any worse, than any other colour of US Marine.
My, but there sure are some Corps pissed wanabees commenting on this one. Completing the thirty miler does not guarantee you a Green Lid, you have to finish as you started, as a syndicate.
I reckon most of them could have done it anyway... it's not actually as hard as it sounds. I did 40 across the Lake District in 9h30 earlier this year and the only training I did was playing football once a week!
@hydrokido You just did it... so you tell me... I was merely commenting that most of these lads were probably already fit enough to do this without having to do any special training.
@sambuka1989 There's no need for name calling... I wasn't bragging just saying it didn't seem that hard. Most of their bags are so small they don't look like they could way anywhere near 50lbs but to be honest I have no idea what kind of kit is in them. If they do weigh 50lbs then that makes it much harder. My mistake.
@yootoobrob this is done over windswept hill of dartmoor and thay have around 48lbs plus the days before thay did tarzan assault course ,nine mile speed march,and endurance course so there bodys are aready fucked
I'm waiting for my 2nd PRMC (got a shoulder injury on my first one) I did 14 Miles with not weight and in trainers in 2:30...but give me that weight and ill die but these men are hardcore
omg i even remember the feeling of crossing the line after running the cross country back at school and felling so happy it was over. These guys must be buzzing so much.
I hear you on that...I used to run cross country and the most I ever did in practice was 12 miles at fast pace...but 30 with equipment?! The races were 3 miles at race pace and I felt dead after them...I give these guys credit.
according to most of the marines i have talked to after the other 32 weeks of training the 30 miler isnt the great fear it was at the beginning when they signed up
looks easy...? ok, this is close to the end of 32 weeks training... aka not fucking easy. (why foxboy would never be a marine.. or get in the navy lmao noob)
foxboy1664 youre a fucking idiot, youd never say that if you done anything like this, you would never even make it to that stage in training you knob ed
carrying over 32lb (pounds) of equipment for 30 miles with 2 - 3 short stops (less than a minute) and all with in 7 hours for a marine or NCO and 6 hours for an officer. its th opposite of easy. you try carrying that wieght for that long, then you'll find its hard
Well its 8 hours for a marine and 7 for an officer. You carry a little more than 32lbs and you get a bit more than a minute too. I have done one before, I'm just being childish and trying to get a reaction out of people
because were marines. we respect one-another. we go through the hardest training in the world, why shout? what does a dictatorship achieve? we respect our leaders more than any other military because they respect us. simples
i doubt you'll need a piss break because of the amount of sweat you release also the water you intake will then replace that sweat. correct me if i'm wrong.
no not exactly, after the 3 day selection test you start 32 weeks of training at lympstone which is everything from physical training to tactical field craft training and everthing inbetween. the first few months are purely physical training and military training, then in the last few months its purely learning to become a soldier and learning in depth of all the tactical side of things and fieldcraft which then culminates in the commando tests one of which is the 30 miler shown in this video.
I have decided to go in for the RMR (Weekend Warrior) and i waws told on Wednesday at a briefing that RMR selection process, 3 phases in which you end on a 30 miler, is that 30 miler pur jogging? i ask as im currently running 10k 2 times per week and thats hard enough as it is..!
good decision on RMR Mike. my mate is currently in phase 2 of RMR training at henley detachment, London RMR. the 30 miler is running but a slightly slower pace than a normal speed due to the weight carried and the unforgivin undulating terrain of dartmoor. maybe the pace could be considered a bit slower but when your doing it for 8 hours non stop on dartmoor's harsh terrain and weather with 50 Ibs of kit with a battered body and hardley any sleep, it is fucking hard! it busts your lungs!
Non stop.. 8 hours... my God any man who cpletes this i take my hat and socks off to.. i suppose i better start trying more then just 10k then.. LOL..
Mate many thqnks for your advice, any other tips or advice you can give, i would hugley appriciate.
The Copral was saying the fitness examination etc, we wont probably start until Jan now, as he was saying they run the course twice per year now... quite a long wait but i am going along for a couple of Holding up Troop sessions.
I wanna get the forms and apply next Wednesday to be honest, but he told us to have a deeper think about things, try a few training sessions and take it from there.. Im in the Bermondsey HQ..
thats not too bad because then u can get training lol! go onto the royal marines website and search for the royal marines "training tool". its brilliant for people like u. its got everything from videos on how to do exercises properly to a suggested fitness programme. its for potential recruits who want to get fit for the PRMC (or of course RMR fitness tests). you should try to aim for 8 minute miles when running
wat ya mean?? if ur talkin about what he was referring to as 'bootcamp' then it's PRMC, however this vid aint PRMC it's the last of the commando tests ;) and marines are also known as bootnecks!!
i know its the last of the cammando test! USMC bootcamp is not their equivalent to our PRMC. its their equivalent of basic training which lasts 12 weeks compared with 32 weeks of that of the RM's
Basically, the RM's have 32 Weeks of Selection which I think is the equivalent of boot camp. This is done in the final week along with the assault course, the endurace course and the 9 miler.
can eny one tell me do u run in the 30 miler cues ma brov is a RM but behind the wire so carnt speek to him lol u lot fucking awsome i total want to join
dartmoors a fucker off of a place, i know this from visiting my uncle in the prison there but now he's moved to a cardiff one so i wouldnt be able to see him afterwards doing this exercise if i get in *fingers crossed*
yiyic71 1942 Shit a lot of water under the bridge since then,,, French soldiers, where have they been in Afghanistan for the last 4 years, how many died, due to enemy action, ?? how many have fought a live battle in last 3 years, ? K Brit dead in Afghanistan todate 25/3/09 150
blow going in t min age m8....w8 untill ur 18 at LEAST! then that gives ur body more time to develop and to think IF its the right choise..also get a trade or somming behind ya man...if u dnt pass ur fuked..or if u go in n decide it aint for u... :) goos luck tho man, i intend to join wen im 20...after my apprentership.
any bootneck will tell you . this is the easiest test .

good decision on RMR Mike. my mate is currently in phase 2 of RMR training at henley detachment, London RMR. the 30 miler is running but a slightly slower pace than a normal speed due to the weight carried and the unforgivin undulating terrain of dartmoor. maybe the pace could be considered a bit slower but when your doing it for 8 hours non stop on dartmoor's harsh terrain and weather with 50 Ibs of kit with a battered body and hardley any sleep, it is fucking hard! it busts your lungs!

The Copral was saying the fitness examination etc, we wont probably start until Jan now, as he was saying they run the course twice per year now... quite a long wait but i am going along for a couple of Holding up Troop sessions.
I wanna get the forms and apply next Wednesday to be honest, but he told us to have a deeper think about things, try a few training sessions and take it from there.. Im in the Bermondsey HQ..

thats not too bad because then u can get training lol! go onto the royal marines website and search for the royal marines "training tool". its brilliant for people like u. its got everything from videos on how to do exercises properly to a suggested fitness programme. its for potential recruits who want to get fit for the PRMC (or of course RMR fitness tests). you should try to aim for 8 minute miles when running

CityPuncher18 2 years ago
yeah lol bootcamp is a bit over the top. do u know what it is citypuncher18?
Shyamp92 2 years ago
wat ya mean?? if ur talkin about what he was referring to as 'bootcamp' then it's PRMC, however this vid aint PRMC it's the last of the commando tests ;) and marines are also known as bootnecks!!
CityPuncher18 2 years ago
i know its the last of the cammando test! USMC bootcamp is not their equivalent to our PRMC. its their equivalent of basic training which lasts 12 weeks compared with 32 weeks of that of the RM's
Shyamp92 2 years ago
who mentioned the USMC lol!!! both my brothers are RM's, one in 42 and one in 40 commando, so i know a fair bit about how they work ;-)

CDNBrit12 mentioned bootcamp and im telling him royal marines do not have bootcamp
Shyamp92 2 years ago
Basically, the RM's have 32 Weeks of Selection which I think is the equivalent of boot camp. This is done in the final week along with the assault course, the endurace course and the 9 miler.
