Bluddy hell, that is tough traning. Im 15 and in my last year of school, once i have finished im going into the infantry and i know it sound's ambitous but i am determined to become part of HM Royal Marines. Thanks for uploading the vid. :)
@MadamKouassi well this training has 30 points to get, 26 points is around about an A grade, points are rewarded through atitude and performance. you can get a maximum of 6 points for succesfully doing 6 pull ups to marine standard and so on if you get my point
@MadamKouassi Oh, okay. I get it. So this is for like PRMC or something like that? Like, if you show an exemplary attitude and really push yourself physically and make an effort then you get good points? Fair enough. I'll bear that in mind, thank you for answering my question.
hi im joe im 14 , im joing the marines as soon as im old enought iv just started to do marine type press ups i can do them in 10 -15 at the most will i improve on them if i keep going at them ?? im a kickboxer so my cardio is quite good i go for runs on saturdays and sundays and do kickboxing everynight i do my press ups at home everynight also , can anyone give me any advice on what else to do and about the prmc training . thanks :)
@justkid415 Niiice! You should aim for a B pass mate if theres alot of people applying theyll accept nothing less because they will want thecream of the crop! You stand a good chance of passing bud good luck to you!
@PepperboyPARA Only a B pass? He's maxing out on upper body and at with a near on 9min return time he should get some good points for that! Max points for bleep is level 13 and 3:30 (I believe) for the Assault Course. With those stats he should get an A grade surely?
@justkid415 im also 16 but not joining the marines till a later date probably 18, but good luck with the training and no matter what no one can take away your pride.

I have just recently came back from there from college we was there for 5 days and i gotta say was the most enjoyable and brutal exerpience i have ever had :) so really worth it at the end, and if anyone is looking to join the marines but bot sure try n go here cus it is quality ... them tunnels tbh was the worst for me cus i am costerfobic to the max :P
@TheMrShankapotomus 32 weeks to become a Royal Marine. then you go to mauntain troop, desert survival, jungle survival, arctic survival... get the pic?
@TrooperLFC That and you train for your job everyday like infantry does marches and combat operations and you train around the world and eventually go to war like you supposed to
@EllisFitz1995 only slightly larger than your shoulders... its half filled with water too you only have about 7 inches head room for you to breathe in from what i remember!
@EllisFitz1995 Looking at your user name i guess your still in school.. dont bother joining next year go to college get your grades 90% of people dont stay in the armed forces until they retire so you will need something to fall back on if you either leave or you arent accepted into the marines. And another thing there is no point in joining until you are 18 anyway because your pention doesnt start until then.... focus on school get your gcses and go to college trust me.. ive done the same! :)
@Disaveli i think you should just say, i would much rather be with those tough hard nut marines, not u civilian hero's coz i wanna be an under paid treated like shit full time hero!!!
i wanna be a RM coz they are the best.....good luck anyway!!
@Disaveli Marines have farrr better training to that of the army go for the marines if you think youre fit enough for royal marine selection (PRMC) is ALOT harder then the army selection! i dont know about you but if you are going to a warzone like afghanistan i would like to have the best training behind me as possible!
Ive just came back of this 1 weeks of training and the endurance course was the hardest thing.. especially the clay pit and crawling up the bank.. the scariest part was the sheep dip right at the end but remember, always think of 'THE STATE OF MIND' :')
@catbearlol I just went with college for a look at royal marines life.. my advice will be give 100% throughout because they are marking you all the time and at the end of the week they tell you if you passed or not
@ISWALESYI oh, i thought i was talking to some1 else :P ive allready served 2 years in the norwegian army, 6months of them in afghan. ive been through my share of these sort of things
@catbearlol oriteee.. well im applying in january soo i should pass the tests which i have already done when i did the 1 week course then i will have to do the 32 weeks prmc course soo that will be difficult
@ISWALESYI Look at life is just a taster of selection, prmc is not the training itself that is the selection process which gets you into the marines dont think that just becuase you passed the taster course you will instantly pass prmc, prmc is on a whole new level to what you did on the look at life course you will find it ALOT harder to pass prmc than the tests you did on the look at life course :)
@GrimePromotionUK ive been through similiar, allthough not as hard\tough as this. and i would say that it is indeed quite fun :) especially when you see the benefits of good teamwork.
am in the selection process with the royal marines sittin my apptitude test soon any advice on that and the fitness? av been boxing for 7 years but expectin 10 times worse fitness trainin than ive ever had
@XIlTorroX Cant help with the apptitude tests imafraid i havnt done any of that this was just a taster course which is kinda like a toned down version of prmc your best bet for your fitness since your a boxer is just to look on the royal marines website and check out "get fit to apply" that will be more useful than me for someone like you it gives good instruction and plans also :)
@XIlTorroX Unlucky mate! get down to a local college and do nightschool for maths or something or just revise revise revise thats what i need to do im shite at maths and english hahaa
@RyanHumpy Its a look at life course designed to give people an idea of what fitness you need for the marines and to give a basic idea of what life is like in themarines :) if you need infomation on prmc i can give you some sort of idea of what you need to do for fitness :)
I am going on a Royal marines Look at Life soon with college. I want to join the Marines and have already started my application process. How did you find the Look at Life, and got any tips or advice?
@ghostreconelite Sweeet ermm you will have a bleep test or VO2 max so do lots of sprinting up steep hills mixed in with regular running (try to do cross country over road running) to improve your bleep test. Pressups make sure you have the correct technique the majority of people do pressups wrong ill private message you a couple of video links for that aswell as for situps and pullups :) ermm there is a 50/50 chance you will do swimming while your down there so do some swimming also :)
@PepperboyPARA Could you send me them links as well if that would be alrite mate because im about to apply for the royal marines and could do with some help like that, thanks. Jamie
Not sure how long you spend at sea but when the marines arent on operations (Operations include afghanistan or anti piracy operations) they will normally be on training exercises and yes they will stop off in different ports. The royal marines are the most elite marine corps on the planet and are always the first ones in, the training itself is also the longest and toughest basic training regime on the planet as it is 9 months long compared to the united states marines corps 3 months. :)
@PepperboyPARA hey thank you for reply im 18 and wanna join any type of army,navy never really been on a big boat tough so whats it like ,thats sounds great tough you train and stop of in ports.Well im 160cm tall and light so am starting to train eg jogging and shit and hopefully will join after leaving cert im irish, hope im tough enough tough im small but wanna to this.
@deColganator No worries buddy :) If i were you i would try my hardest to get into the marines because if you want to be on the frontline you will want the best possible training behind you! I have a similar height to you i am 164 or 165 cm or 5,4ft. If youre light youre going to need to gain weight i think you need to be around 10 stone but put that weight on with muscle! have a look on the royal marines website for fitness tips! and get down to a royal navy careers office :)
@PepperboyPARA thanks im gona go for it hopefully going to careers office in a month my mate wants to join aswell but hes taller so good weight,, i just started training gona build up every week looking to join in summer,gona have to put on about a stone mabye less ive no weighting scales ha.
Was think about rm how long do you spend at sea during year and what are they like,do you spot off in counties or what happens the training looks so hard but worth it.
I hated this stuff but without out and the rest of the training i would have been dead within seconds of those bullent whizzing past my head. I wish to thank all my insuctors for teaching me what it's means to be a royal marine commando.
BY SEA, BY LAND BOYS! BE THE BEST!
Pepper, mate what unit you with? Or are you a insuctor or somthing?
@RoyalMarines2312 Ahaha i am not a marine or an instructor i am sending my application form off next month though ;) this is just a course which allows people to come and have a taste of what it takes to become a royal marines commando its not a prmc though but people do go on this course to see how fit they are and since i uploaded this video from when i was down there in june 2010 ive just been answering questions on what people should do to prepare themselves for this and their prmc :)
@DONNIrish these courses are only held at the commando training sentre royal marines in lympstone in devon england you can ask about the look at life course at your local royal navy careers office and they will be able to explain the marines alot better than i have haha :) and cheers for the tip matey that will help me alot!
Hi can someone please explain the endurance test to me please coz i thought it was like 3mile through mud and tunnels and 4 mile run straight afterwards or is it 3mile then break then 4mile?
I did my PRMC last week lads. The under watter tunnel was sketchy but fine your under water for about 5 seconds max! So stop stressin! Its absoutly hanging but loved every bit of it!
Hey man thanks for the reply, I actually meant the tunnel where one guy pushes you through and another drags you out and you are totally under water. Thats the one that I am sketchy about.
@moobsman1 Ohhhh right sorry my bad! Its alright you arnt down there for long you just get pushed under when you are ready you put your arms out in front of you as you get pushed through the tunnel and your mate on the other side grabs any part of you body that he finds and drags you out the other side nothing to be afraid of :) its about 2 metres the tunnel length, not far at all! last about 2 seconds total! :)
I am in the middle of joining the royal marine reserves and I was just wondering what this submerged water tunnel is really like cause if I am honest I am shitting it a bit. Can you actually move under there ?
@moobsman1 Its nothing if your quite small but for the bigger lads it must of been hard very tight in there! water is about half filled you just keep you head above it and shimmy yourself along using your hands and elbows and your feet you dont think about it when your doing it...but dont go first if youre worried let another lad go before you and that will make you more confident :)
Yess this is at the commando training centre in lympstone, devon. It is where all royal marines go to for their training :) and yeah without a doubt they amongst the best in the world :)
@izzmander This is just a look at life course the guys you see in this are all college students :) this is similar but overall nothing compared to what the new recruits have to do in the royal marines...and special forces endurance is something like 5 times harder than this for sure! :)
@Spark280 Ohh yeahh cant you tell look how fatigued we all are when we are crawling into the pit uphill in that small stream we had to crawl on our stomachs for the last 50 or so metres was a killer with full wet kit and on pebbles it wrecked your knees! ahahh
if i am a dual citizen of England and sign up 4 the marines am i then allowed 2 carry on and join a special force like the S.A.S or the S.B.S ????????????????
@Spark280 yeah im a dual citizen im half swedish and british and you dont have to be scouted you have to volunteer...the royal marines supply 1 3rd of special forces so yeah you have a good chance of getting into the SAS or SBS if you join although SBS is prefered by the royal marines for obvious reasons :)
@lozgane14 tell me about it mate im going on my second trip during the winter we still have to do all the same activities but we're gonna be breaking the ice off the water on the endurance course thats for sure! :P
@PepperboyPARA because ive been all over woodbury with the marines but never come across this part aha spose i will in 8 days :) this isnt my account ,just letting every one know
@joolshirons there is one every week however there is a waiting list if you are at college see if they can arrange one for you or you can go to a navy careers office and ask about a look at life course for the royal marines :)
@crouchtrac hahaha personally i didnt want to start at 16 you dont get to go to afghan or anything and your pension doesnt start until your 18 so i didnt see the point so im going in next year after i finish college :)
@PepperboyPARA I wanted to started asap! I couldn't wait any longer, even though I'll probably be on gash duty while everyone is out in Afghan :) good luck to you anyway buddy, use the time you have wisely and I'm sure you'll smash everything 1st time ;)
Im jealous of you mate =) lol how did you do on your psychometric test? im in two minds on weather to go to college and uni and apply as an officer or just jump straight in as a private lol best of luck tho mate
@JakkKEEy thank you buddy, I don't know how I did in my psychometric to be honest, the petty officer just walked in and said to whoever was left in the room that we all passed, he seemed quite blasé about it. I only got about half way through each section before I ran out of time so I initially thought I failed it :)
@JakkKEEy well best of luck mate, try some test booklets they help a shit load and make sure your doing plenty of running for your PJFT, stuff doing 3 miles, it's all about consistency over speed with that test so do about 6 miles ever other day and I'm sure you'll hack it no problem. I prepared for it by doing 3 mile runs and I payed for it because even though I just scraped it, I was still hanging out of my ass by the time the interview came 30 minutes later. :) so best of luck!
Im 16 and i have done PRMC. Endurance course is much harder than that. your non stop moving.. non stop doing push ups and thats after a beasting on bottom field!! good luck!!
Be the greyman!! Defo!! do not be too far ahead becaus ethey will beast you for being too good. do not be to far behind because they will beast you again. Do as they say at all time!!! do not scratch or anything stand perfectly still or you will get extra phy or everyone else will get extra phys!! you do not want it!! We was in stress postition against a wall for 10 minutes!! And never give up. it will be worth it at the end!! give 100% in everything. nothing less. Good luck!!
@crouchtrac No... I Didnt pass. Got right to the end and then they said I failed on points. 60 people started off and I was one of the 35 that were left at the end. all I needed was 10 more push ups and 5 more sit ups and would of passed!! was gutted but im out training nonstop now ready to pass in december.!! I know this might sound a bit gay uswell but get some of them blister protection socks to wear underneath the socks they give you!! they actually work and its a lot less painfull!! lol
@RoyalMarineN unlucky mate, you should smash next time round in that case, thanks for the advice with the socks I shall be buying some!! out of the 35 left on the course how many actually passed?
My brother passed out back in May, the whole thing looks so amazing. I've already signed up and have the first part of recruitment next month, hopefully can move it along quickly after that. Looks really tough but really good. Can see the difference in my brother since passing out
haha its okay mate ive still got some more vids coming for the assault course so stay tuned :) and have you taken part in the look at life course? if you havnt i highly reccommend it! it shows you where you need to work on your fitness and stuff it has been a great help for me :)

@ghostreconelite Sweeet ermm you will have a bleep test or VO2 max so do lots of sprinting up steep hills mixed in with regular running (try to do cross country over road running) to improve your bleep test. Pressups make sure you have the correct technique the majority of people do pressups wrong ill private message you a couple of video links for that aswell as for situps and pullups :) ermm there is a 50/50 chance you will do swimming while your down there so do some swimming also :)

Not sure how long you spend at sea but when the marines arent on operations (Operations include afghanistan or anti piracy operations) they will normally be on training exercises and yes they will stop off in different ports. The royal marines are the most elite marine corps on the planet and are always the first ones in, the training itself is also the longest and toughest basic training regime on the planet as it is 9 months long compared to the united states marines corps 3 months. :)

@PepperboyPARA hey thank you for reply im 18 and wanna join any type of army,navy never really been on a big boat tough so whats it like ,thats sounds great tough you train and stop of in ports.Well im 160cm tall and light so am starting to train eg jogging and shit and hopefully will join after leaving cert im irish, hope im tough enough tough im small but wanna to this.
deColganator 1 year ago
@deColganator No worries buddy :) If i were you i would try my hardest to get into the marines because if you want to be on the frontline you will want the best possible training behind you! I have a similar height to you i am 164 or 165 cm or 5,4ft. If youre light youre going to need to gain weight i think you need to be around 10 stone but put that weight on with muscle! have a look on the royal marines website for fitness tips! and get down to a royal navy careers office :)
PepperboyPARA 1 year ago
@PepperboyPARA thanks im gona go for it hopefully going to careers office in a month my mate wants to join aswell but hes taller so good weight,, i just started training gona build up every week looking to join in summer,gona have to put on about a stone mabye less ive no weighting scales ha.
deColganator 1 year ago
Was think about rm how long do you spend at sea during year and what are they like,do you spot off in counties or what happens the training looks so hard but worth it.
deColganator 1 year ago
Oh this brings back some memories.
I hated this stuff but without out and the rest of the training i would have been dead within seconds of those bullent whizzing past my head. I wish to thank all my insuctors for teaching me what it's means to be a royal marine commando.
BY SEA, BY LAND BOYS! BE THE BEST!

I did my PRMC last week lads. The under watter tunnel was sketchy but fine your under water for about 5 seconds max! So stop stressin! Its absoutly hanging but loved every bit of it!
jameslavz 1 year ago
Hey man thanks for the reply, I actually meant the tunnel where one guy pushes you through and another drags you out and you are totally under water. Thats the one that I am sketchy about.
What was that part of the course like ?
moobsman1 1 year ago
@moobsman1 Ohhhh right sorry my bad! Its alright you arnt down there for long you just get pushed under when you are ready you put your arms out in front of you as you get pushed through the tunnel and your mate on the other side grabs any part of you body that he finds and drags you out the other side nothing to be afraid of :) its about 2 metres the tunnel length, not far at all! last about 2 seconds total! :)

I am in the middle of joining the royal marine reserves and I was just wondering what this submerged water tunnel is really like cause if I am honest I am shitting it a bit. Can you actually move under there ?
moobsman1 1 year ago
@moobsman1 Its nothing if your quite small but for the bigger lads it must of been hard very tight in there! water is about half filled you just keep you head above it and shimmy yourself along using your hands and elbows and your feet you dont think about it when your doing it...but dont go first if youre worried let another lad go before you and that will make you more confident :)

@Spark280 yeah im a dual citizen im half swedish and british and you dont have to be scouted you have to volunteer...the royal marines supply 1 3rd of special forces so yeah you have a good chance of getting into the SAS or SBS if you join although SBS is prefered by the royal marines for obvious reasons :)

@JakkKEEy thank you buddy, I don't know how I did in my psychometric to be honest, the petty officer just walked in and said to whoever was left in the room that we all passed, he seemed quite blasé about it. I only got about half way through each section before I ran out of time so I initially thought I failed it :)

lol thanks mate thats calmed me down now about mine lol good luck with the training mate =) i'll join you soon =) lol
JakkKEEy 1 year ago
@JakkKEEy well best of luck mate, try some test booklets they help a shit load and make sure your doing plenty of running for your PJFT, stuff doing 3 miles, it's all about consistency over speed with that test so do about 6 miles ever other day and I'm sure you'll hack it no problem. I prepared for it by doing 3 mile runs and I payed for it because even though I just scraped it, I was still hanging out of my ass by the time the interview came 30 minutes later. :) so best of luck!

Be the greyman!! Defo!! do not be too far ahead becaus ethey will beast you for being too good. do not be to far behind because they will beast you again. Do as they say at all time!!! do not scratch or anything stand perfectly still or you will get extra phy or everyone else will get extra phys!! you do not want it!! We was in stress postition against a wall for 10 minutes!! And never give up. it will be worth it at the end!! give 100% in everything. nothing less. Good luck!!

@crouchtrac No... I Didnt pass. Got right to the end and then they said I failed on points. 60 people started off and I was one of the 35 that were left at the end. all I needed was 10 more push ups and 5 more sit ups and would of passed!! was gutted but im out training nonstop now ready to pass in december.!! I know this might sound a bit gay uswell but get some of them blister protection socks to wear underneath the socks they give you!! they actually work and its a lot less painfull!! lol
RoyalMarineN 1 year ago
@RoyalMarineN unlucky mate, you should smash next time round in that case, thanks for the advice with the socks I shall be buying some!! out of the 35 left on the course how many actually passed?
