[MaxReid97]

Notice how I posted that 6 months ago. I'm now an MC2 at Bournemouth Unit RMCD Zulu Coy. Doing rememberence day parade tomorrow. I feel like a complete idiot when I look back at that question now.

[extondude]

you did well lad... im proud to be in the same country with gentlemen such as yourself. i salute you.

[rfasmart]

Just brilliant just wants to make you be a marine cadet your self ; )

[Mikelesh17]

Well done you obviously know your stuff by the way I'm corporal lewis-shaw well done : )

[MaxReid97]

Are the marine cadets' a cadet version of the Royal Marine Commandos' and do they wear those uniforms on a normal week?

[joew666]

@MaxReid97 The marine cadets are the cadet version of the royal marines, the uniform we are wearing there is called blues (no1's), its the smartest uniorm. during the week at cadets we'd be wearing combat 95's (camouflage clothes)

[kingswaylad]

@joew666 The marine cadets are one of the most proud and one of the best cadet forces in the world, they have the best dicipline and they are very proud when they are on drill. Im proud to be a member and an instructor for the force

[CombatGuru]

That's word for word from the CF201 (Canadian Forces Manual of Drill and Ceremonial), which contains instructions almost identical to the British version of the manual. I just don't have my copy of the British manual handy.

[1DRAGONINJA1]

@CombatGuru its a shame the canadian army looks like a bag of shit and sights in a similar way

[CombatGuru]

@1DRAGONINJA1 It's a shame you haven't looked past the end of your nose since you were born. I assume from your stereotypical rudeness and obvious lack of intelligence you are from the United States of Assholes. The Canadian Armed Forces currently hold more combat and other related records than the US, have a lower Personnel-Loss ratio-and a higher Personnel-Confirmed Kills ratio, are trained better, and are generally better at combat. I could keep going but I think my point is made.

[1DRAGONINJA1]

@CombatGuru you assumptions are wrong as i am not for the usa but is i may have mentioned earlier (might not have cant remember) i am in this video and therefore proves that i am indeed english. I couldnt agree with you more in your comparison of the canadian forces and the us forces as the american army was segreated for fuck know how long thus proving that it was and is run by a large group of spasticated bigots. as for my lack of inteligence well get your head out of you obese arse

[1DRAGONINJA1]

@CombatGuru ran out of space .... your a cock and you have know idea what i am like so get of your high fucking horse and stop being a major pussy hole ive seen some canadian drill displays and im embarrased to compare it to that of the drill of the british matlows which is also bollacks

[kingswaylad]

@CombatGuru MCCMK love this comment, we are a cadet organisation you american need to look at your services before you comment on ours, i am a Staff Sergeant with the MOD and the ROYAL Marine Cadets and i am more proud to be apart of them.

[CombatGuru]

@kingswaylad

I'm Canadian.

[CombatGuru]

[stew1212128]

@joew666 True im talking about .303 rifle drill forgot we were on about SA80s my bad sir

[Brobeardaman]

What the word of command to put the rifle verticle and in front of u, at 1:17?

[joew666]

recover arms

[Brobeardaman]

would u mind telling me the exact movements taken to get the recover arms, thanks

[joew666]

ooo ummm, start at the shoulder then the order will be given "troop recover arms!" the rifle is flicked up and caught under the susat with the right hand like with the present arms, its then lifted so that the butt of the rifle is eye height and the left hand is on the butt of the rifle.

its probably on google somwere better worded.

It is no coincidence that Alpha comes before Lima in the 'ALPHA'bet (It was even named after you guys)Though I'm not sure about being saints.......

PS Thanks to the staff who give up there time so freely. To RM Lympstone and the Gunnery department at RNAS Yeovilton.

[OlloireAmande]

2.Alpha Coy you are 'THE BUSINESS', Appalling weather (means 'BAD' Lima coy)Young,lack of training time,skating rink, Longest (3hrs)on parade, nerves,constantly kept waiting,etc an endless list.
