We have the O course, which we do in bootcamp and throughout infantry school with fully laden packs.
My attitude? I run a PFT that is 2x longer and shoot nearly 2 farther and more accurately than a british commando and somehow Im lower on the totem pole?
Royal Marine history is plagued with surrenders retreats and blunders and yet they try to compare their record to the same US Marines who took dozens of Pacific islands from the japs. Brits couldnt handle the japs (Singapore)
@tiggyhunter 55lbs? My flak without the ammo weighs 60lbs. Last time I did a 25k, my pack wasnt under 100lbs not counting the M249. Point still stays, we run faster and farther. We shoot farther and more accurately. We've been the worlds top marksmen since 1778 alongside Morgans riflemen.
The RMC and para PFT is a 1.5 mile run that is done twice...not continously. You cant compared continous times to interupted ones
@USMarineRifleman0311 the 1.5 the RM do is not a marine test! its a standard military test!! RM also have to do 2x8 mile march runs with 55lb of kit wpns and then add water....even for the standard military 1.5 mile annual fitness test the uk males get two mins less time to complete than the USMC equivalent at the same distance.1 pull up are you kidding!?! they would not pass with anything below a A and B pass which is a combination of tests but looking at ten min after 8 pints of cider! ;-)
the embarrasing part here is that female Marines run a whole 3 miles during their PFT...the RMC PFT is only 1.5 miles with a rest period between the indiv run.
To get past the PRMC requirements you need a minimum of 1 pull up...we ask for 2 minimum on the first day. Once that recruit becomes a Marine he's asked to do 20 pull ups...RMs only ask for 6.
Both USM and RM recruits enter bootcamp with nearly identical requirements.

I dont spread propaganda, your country does.
It also covers up modern day british defeats that were committed during our wars in Iraq and Afghan.

@3NG000 similar?
Ive seen the HM forces website. Both the marines, grenadiers, basic soldiers and paras run a 1.5 mile PFT and shoot out to a mere 300m.
In the Corps, we shoot out to 500yds and run a FULL 3 miles.
We're 40-50% better trained and held to higher standards.
The only people in the us armed forces who run a 1.5 mile PFT and shoot out to 300m are USN sailors.
Your Marines can drop on request during training, ours cant...hence the high drop out rate and low troop retainment

If you want to get shot fighting wars based on LIES, then sign up.
If you want to die for bankers and corporations, then sign up.

@tiggyhunter
besides this...female US Marines shoot out to 500yds...while the RM shoots out to 300m during rifle qual.
Table 3 of USMC rifle qual has a 300m portion...AT NIGHT in the pitch dark.
What you need to get into the prone for and can only do in daylight, we do in the dark.
the SA80 has no rail attachment for a PEQ16

Except we go the extra 1.5 miles in phase 1
