Passed out with 706 troop in May 1997. I'd give my right bollock to go back in time and go through Lympstone again. No matter how much time passes, it stays as fresh as the day you left.
people forget that by the time you undergo the final commando tests to end your training you are already physically and emotionally drained, its lets get through the course one day at a time
2 miles of tunnels is BS as a former royal marine from 1971 we started with 72 and 19 of the original intake 68 JT made to the end some thing that will stick with me for life, NOT heroes just balls Cheers Dave
I must have been pissed if i wrote this as i was in 68 JT not 69 unless some one has messed with the comment if that is possible. But the older i get the more i think about Deal & CTC Training with fondness god knows why lol. Cheers Dave
Song is from last of the Mohicans main soundtrack ... Are you really allowed to sling your rifle when your sprinting ... What if are ambushed on route In the paras during training we weren't allowed to sling our rifle whilst moving?
Gary Bradshaw It’s a specific commando test, so it’s allowed to be carried, in actual combat training and drills it has to be held at all times obviously
RM set the standard for all the worlds Marines. USMC, Quit reinventing the PFT, making up "leadership" (MCMAP) just go to the duty experts. OCS, TBS, MCRD will cry buckets but the truth sucks. Only thing I would change is at least a 300 meter shoot at the end.
@@cunners1953 - splendid. I assume you're as gutted as I am then that the Commando Challenge is cancelled this year. I guess you'll be doing it in '22 to show us all how easy it is 🙄

Aint changed much since 1972, we just had SLR's instead of those peashooters !
no goretex and posh boots just ww2 greens and dms boots and puttees 58 pattern ffo.
A mate of mine passed All Arms Commando Course in the early 90s. He told me the Endurance Course is almost as brutal as the Paras P-Company Log Race.
Rubbish attempt at 🎣
2/10
Spirit crushing. No way out till the end. Pretty fucking nails. It hurts.
Hands free,bloody luxury!
SLR always ensured maximum agravation,even shouldered,trail,patrol position.
Didn't it just 😊
Finest in the world.
Troop i wish you all the best !
Remember carrying the telegraph pole to the start on the Juniors command course?

Wankers aren't they? The local piss heads are too pissed to ambush these useless cunts.
