Both are awesome I've never done the training so I'm not qualified to have an opinion. However.... The Marines do 4 final tests, the paras do 8. Enough said 🇬🇧

He left the guards, and joined Paras , so did P company.? Or went through training then ?

Great video, thank you!

It's not just a business mate it's an agenda, they want to get rid of the older soldiers who are more wiser and slowly becoming more awake to them just being pawns in their big-game.

Could you kindly tell , What Shoes are you wearing ?? Seems perfect for Gym Usage.

@stoicperformance2373 Your videos were shared with me by a colleague. I was interested to hear you've had almost identical back issues to me. I'm a firefighter, and I'm currently sh1tting myself about the longevity of my back. Any possibility of a vid explaining your journey and approach to training in the context of your back issues. Any help would be appreciated

Both of them are obsolete are in their current form and how they're (under)utilised in reality bears no resemblance to what they do on paper. Even the USMC knows amphibious assaults are not viable against near-peers anymore (if America can't do them, the UK sure as fuck can't either), and the way the Russian VDV got absolutely shredded in Ukraine is the final nail in the conventional airborne coffin - if logic and common sense didn't convince you before. Why not just do something similar to what the Australians have done? Amalgamate the Paras and Marines into one Commando Regiment of at least 2 battalions (yes, the Paras have Commando lineage) that's under UKSF, so they'll have better funding, better equipment, better training, and do special forces missions. Leave the SAS/SBS stuff to the SAS/SBS of course, but there'd no need for SFSG anymore. They can all be parachute trained, still do marine stuff (including nuclear security), but also go further - HALO/HAHO, Scuba, etc. In Afghanistan, Aussie Commandos had a high ops tempo and were out working with SASR, UK SAS, Delta Force, Rangers etc, conducting raids, killing/capturing HVTs, while most Paras and Royal Marines "Commandos" were just being used as infantry, no different to "craphat/pongo" infantry units like 1 RIFLES. Seeth all you like, but you know it's true.

Can you tell me, how many set i have to do it?

What does it help with

Shame this sounds like it was recorded in an underwater echo chamber. I was looking forward to watching. Get some decent mics.

Up the pussah

Fair play, good luck with your career Ryan

Got to appreciate how perfectly timed those side bends were with the music on the first length!

Thanks Matt 👍🏻

Could NOT wait for this!!

I knew someone who was in the RAF regiment he could stand toe to toe with either the paras or the marines. He did the five miles of death and didn’t die

I liked the bit when the para was talking about Royal being “pristine” and “too clean”….the saying goes “Cleanliness is next to Godliness”! 😜 OARMAARM

Really valuable stuff here about looking after yourself in the forces. I don't think there are many other more demanding roles physically, so you're the guys to learn from. Thanks for taking the time to record and upload.

This podcast is hilariously accurate to what I thought a para and a bootneck link up would be like 🤣🤣🤣 great show

Paras and Marines... Their just absolute warriors ive got a mate who was in 3 Para and my ex brother inlaw was a marine.... Both are made of sum serious metal man.... Great podcast guys!!

Anyone who's ever personally known both Para's and Royal Marines clearly knows the essential differences between them, and there are distinct differences... and I'm not even referring to training, job roles, combat experience and the like. In that respect, both are trained to do their jobs efficiently, fearlessly and professionally. There is 'almost' always, and this video also adds to this, possibly with the exception of joining officers, a stand-out difference between someone who chooses to be a Para' and someone who chooses to be a Royal Marine and it's to do with their personalities, behaviour, social status, maybe their background and often their relative intelligence... or at least how they use it. Both types of men are absolutely required for their respective roles. I feel quite sure that both Para's and RMs know what I'm talking about if they can be honest with themselves and each other. I, by the way, was in neither but I knew several of each both during and after my own service and I still am friends with men from both units. I've even discussed this with them over a jar or three and they generally, and rather proudly for their own reasons, agree with my assessment. I was a nuclear submariner and electronics technician in the Royal Navy during the 80's and 90's. I feel proud that we Brits have both Para's and Royal Marines among our arsenal of professional military forces. 😊👍💪

God is Airborne, because he failed the Commando course.

Great Video!

Another great one to listen to! I am not sure how much you are running at the minute, I am sure you had enough running but if you ever want to get back try Altra Escalante 2.5 running shoes! They are zero drop ones, natural foot-shaped wide toebox but with a nice responsive midsole that can be nice for longer runs instead of running in Vivos. I have Vivos as well but much prefer running in these. For trails the Altra Lone Peak 5s are amazing. On the education sides of things have you ever considered going to uni to study sports rehabilitation? It would complement your strength and conditioning education very nicely. It's not a physio course, so mostly focuses on movement assessment, biomechanics and most importantly hands-on experience on how to rehab MSK injures. Would provide extra income opportunities as well during the day if there is no PT or classes. I am on a similar journey myself like yourself except I am going backwards haha. I used to coach CF/weightlifting, did a sports rehab course at uni and now in the process of joining RM in a few weeks time at the age of closer to 40 than 20... Better late than never. :)

interesting interview. It gives us a glimpse of marine training. But there're terms that people who are not in the military probably won't understand. For example in 36:15, what does it mean by "get on the flank"? Otherwise it's a good interview. I especially like the character building part.

Thoughts on involving a bit of nerve flossing with this one? Tilting the head back (looking UP) when the knee extends.

I love that you gents are using clubs too! Do your clubs have knurling on them like the RMAX CST ones? I find it difficult to get decent ones in the UK that is why I am using maces at the minute. The Pahlavandles are awesome for prehab and travelling.

Hi, I hope you are making one for the Turkish Get-up next as I can't stop telling other recruits to learn it! Maybe if they see an ex-RM doing it more and more will! :)

Don’t know about anyone else but I didn’t have a clue about regiments and different roles you could do. I just turned up at the careers office and said giz a job ha ha. Had to get away from my home environment as prison was definitely looming if I didn’t join up. Done that dodgy test and I always remember he said infantry for you son. Because I joined in Liverpool he said it’s kings regiment or QLR who are in Germany. No regrets whatsoever and passed training and straight to Berlin. Joined 1993.

Great video am really thinking of joining the army though the Reserves am the whole time I have been feeling it’s the wrong move and it’s more army Advertising Campaign working on my mind once you watch one or two Special forces video on RUclips the Algorithm starts send you army stuff it’s worked cos some how at age 39 I found my self In listing in Reserves am still waiting on the medical to be sent from my gp so still plenty of time to pull out I can’t understand how my ego or the Psychology is making think I want to join one Reason was the fittest but in you video you both said your never really were work out 🏋️‍♀️ while inside so that’s out the window n should I be really be working out like am still in my 20s I thought once you go through phase 1 n 2 they stop treating you like kids but you both made clear no that’s part of army life now days and pls can you tell me all your time in the Commandos and army did you ever see black men in the Special forces or that’s just a myth as far as Uk 🇬🇧 or USA 🇺🇸

Hey Matty - enjoying your podcasts, one of the top ones out there on the Military and Royal Marines. Thanks for this. Are you planning any future episodes soon?

How about making sure the microphone works properly, audio is bloody awful but to be honest I don’t think there was that much intelligible anyway.

Just ask the Attached Arms how they view the respective Brigades. The Commando trained RE/RA etc all say they feel fully embedded, accepted and respected in 3 Cdo Bde ... the Airborne Engineers/Gunners however are all still totally focussed on their own trade and treated as outsiders by the Para Reg. That tells you all you need to know about the differences between the Brigades. I'd rather work with Para's than any other Army unit but they're still odd as fuck.

Sound isnt great. And that's apart from trying to understand the language!

I think the royal marine course is harder however paras are better warriors

Great podcast. Bottom line is, combat infantry roles qualify you for literally nothing in civilian life. My advice would be, go into something that will give you a transferable skill to take out with you, be that Army, Navy or RAF. Think ahead. Great saying you've been a Para or Marine, but you need something to offer an employer. Different of course, if you're planning to do the 22, but that's generally rare.

Was he guards para?

One thing I regret about being in a line infantry unit is what you talk about with being Royal Marines, you all have each other's back and are trusted to do your job.In a regular infantry unit like Mick says you get dreggs in there who don't care so you're always being treated like kids, constant kit checks etc. Plus there was tons of bullying and inter-company in-fighting

I dont know which part of iraq you were in in 2004 but it was 100% rounds down LOL

I'm from the 2003 onwards telic herrick era and once you've done those tours, sitting around on camp with nothing to look forward to just doesn't seem right. Add in all your best mates start leaving living their best lives and it gets depressing fast.

Well done, Ave did a stretcher race in the past, keep up the good works Mcp819

Really enjoyed this video, seems you both have a really clear and enlightened way of thinking about things.

A pile of shite

🔥

Shared this with my mates at work. See how they get on

Really enjoyed this. Started going to Tim's gym back when I 1st started American Football with the S&C sessions he held Loved it so much I became a full time member to the gym. Love all the sessions and the gym and just love the concept of crossfit. Wounded about the last few weeks but trying to keep it going at home as best as possible. Never thought I'd be counting down the days for a gym to open...

Really good that mate.

Your demo was better than snowflake weetmans, had more detail in it, with anatomy.

Aha, now running, cross country running, always do the railway method, i.e. you board your train at the platform, get to your booked or preferred seating, guard blows his or her whistle to go, as the train and carriges are pulling further out from the station, this is when you the train, builds up speed, and when in the all clear go as fast as you need, or even better, if you've got that drive to push yourself more, and get that drive to do it, then go for it, just dont do yourself any excuse for injuries, Mcp 1819 P.s. I have always liked running, Tabbing, swimming, cycling, and agility working still to this day since I was 4th in my high schools cross country team, lmfao!🤣

Heres a good one, definition of the MPGS, cheap ex service personnel, but as military security guards in PCS, hahaha, the biggest chippy Regiment in Britain!
