I thank your father for his service, he served apart of the most elite premiere fighting force in the world. You should be very proud. May he rest easy.
@@rcm8450 There is such thing as Royal Navy Commandos. These are men who are serving in the Royal Navy and have been through the Commando tests. The same way you can get British Army Commandos. Perhaps the bloke above just got his wording wrong.
My grandfather was a Commando during the war and we still don’t know exactly what he did even after his passing. What we do know is that all he did was done to protect us, and that hasn’t changed. Thank you Marines.
In the UK, it's generally accepted that "the war" refers to WWII. If you want to refer to a different one, you name it, but "the war" was used in the decades following WWII and, as no other hot conflict has beaten it size-wise, WWII still keeps "the" title. Hope that clears up any confusion 👍

Be a success story mate Use these 2 years to turn yourself into a phenomena, not just a guy who got discharged and came back. When you're sitting with your recruiter/file manager in 1.5-2 years from now...be the guy that leaves them beyond impressed with how far you've driven your life in that time frame One mindset 'trick' that turned into just being a full time mindset change for me, years ago when I was in, was the mindset of "mentally being what my goal is" - not "I'm so & so, and trying to achieve this goal..." That changed a lot for me in what I was able to achieve, just that change in mindset Best of luck mate 🇨🇦 🇬🇧
Chris has definitely hit the nail on the head. Do what you can to really stand out to recruitment 👍 I live in RM country and, each year, people struggle massively with the shore landings during training (getting off a vessel and swimming/wading to shore whilst laden down with kit). As well as fitness, make sure your swimming is second to none, that you're comfortable in rough seas, and prepare yourself for swimming whilst laden down with kit (with support, obviously - keep yourself safe!). Sinking sand catches people out all the time (& it's unavoidable with tidal sand shifts), so don't rely on wading. I understand that they also look favourably on diving experience, so if you can get that, do it. It's definitely worth having a chat with RM careers. They run visits and orientations to various sites so that you can get an idea of the road ahead. Being ex-Army, you'll be familiar with a lot of it, but if you have RM-specific questions, orientations are a good place/time to ask the lads directly and get your questions answered honestly, rather than the typical "what you want to hear" careers office answers. I wish you all the very best. Hopefully we'll see you in deepest, darkest Devon soon, getting your green lid 😎

Yes, the US Marines are more like a conventional army. First into the fight every time though. The Royal Marines are very highly trained and very few in comparison. Each has a different contribution to make. Whereas, for instance, the Royal Marines would knock out key points in a harbour or an air base, US Marines would destroy or capture the whole thing with overwhelming force. Horses for courses.

@@TheCerebralDude yes you could describe both of those S.F. units as commandos. But U.K. special forces recruit from elte units such as the Royal Marines or the British Army's Parachute Regiment. Although S.F.selection is open to all branches of the British military.The Royal Marines have one of longest selection process in the world 32 weeks for a recruit to Royal Marine likewise a Marines officer officer will under go 64 weeks of training before they are deemed good enough to take command.

Back in the 90s I had the pleasure and honour to work with the guys from 42 (and 45) as a civilian instructor. Yes, they really are special forces. Royal Marines are so much more than just ‘Bootnecks’, smart, intelligent, effective and resilient. And I’m so glad they’re on our side; I’d hate to be an enemy!
The Royal Marines are indeed the greatest military fighting force in the world. If they set their mind to something, they will achieve it. If they're doing an OP they will exceed past their expectations. Hope to be joining the Royal Marines soon!
“Everybody has to understand that when they’re dealing with Royal Marines from 42 Commando they’re dealing with absolute professionals…” This is one of the most badass things I’ve ever heard. These guys are such under appreciated national heroes. Keep it up!
When you walk through those gates at CTCRM on day 1, you instantly know you’ve joined the best there is. You can all rest knowing you have a very special band of elite individuals protecting you all.
@@joshuaalexander862 yes they are mate, and the SBS are Royal Marines. Unlike the SAS who recruit from all areas of the British Armed forces, the SBS only recruit from the Royal Marines
@@marine797 Thats not true at all, SBS and SAS recruit from all the forces, RMs are the SBS primary source of manpower, likewise the The paras are the SAS primary source, however anyone from the services can apply to these units.
@@DoubleTapsize I had a look mate and I stand corrected, they do indeed now take people from all regiments. I joined up in 1997 and they only recruited RM. I believe it’s still 80% RM though.
The RM is the parent unit for the sbs. The RM provides the support roles, command & leadership training and specialised courses that SB lads would be put on alongside none uksf personnel. The sbs might be Tri service recruitment and under the command of UKSF now but it's still an RM/ RN unit.
If I was still at sea, I would sleep soundly in my bunk; knowing these 'Lads' were on the job. No more Defence cuts, our armed forces are the best in the world and need supporting accordingly.
Supporting to do what exactly? Fight for America? Do you understand that we are currently one of the biggest military spenders in the world, number 2 in NATO, all this despite the fact that the UK is in a very safe geographical position, far removed from conflict and enemy powers unlike countries that spend similar GDP % on military like Finland, Poland, Turkey. The policy you support is an aspect of American suzerainty over the UK. We need to scale back spending to the appropriate level to defend just the UK and it's possessions, retain our nuclear capabilities to safeguard against unlikely existential threats, stop contributing so much to NATO strength, stop sending British soldiers to die thousands of miles away for "British values". STOP SUPPORTING AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY OBJECTIVES.
I had the honor to serve with them in Norway & to live & survive there takes training, learning the skills & not for one moment thinking it`s a skiing holiday.
Colt Carbines, helmets designed for MCT operations, floating body armour, RIB seats that move with the waves... Looks like Canada has made a very large contribution to the Royal Marines 🙂
It was my dream since I was a child to join the Royal Marines. However my body is cursed, everytime I got ready to join I was hit by another medical drama. From needing bowl surgery when I was 16 to needing eye surgery when I was 24. Then when I was 28 I was diagnosed with a major heart disorder which was the final blow as I now have a defibrillator inside of me and can never join the Royal Marines let alone any part of the military or armed forces. I'm now 32 and feel completely lost in life as all my dreams that I had my whole life have been shattered!! I will always respect and take my hat off to all those serving, for they are blessed to be able to follow their dreams!
This must be a very exciting specialist role for lads within 4-2 and RM in general to be part of. I think specialist boarding and counter narcotics roles have been the responsibility of 4-2 previously, however, some of the added tasks as depicted in this presentation may have been the responsibility of SF (SBS or SAS Boat Troop) until fairly recently prior to the development of UKSF Support units such as UKSFSG. Some of the lads shown here with concealed facial shots may well have been SBS Operators. I hope many of the guys who conduct these types of operations do take that next obvious step to SF. Lastly, the new development of `Gravity`s` new `jet pack` flying suit will undoubtedly play a large role in the military, especially with SF teams on various tasks, especially for Maritime CT and will make boarding a vessel much, much easier! Great video! Garry H, South Carolina, RAF retired.
SBS training is far more specialized and as such there simply would not be enough operational members to perform to the scale of the UK forces as a whole. There is overlap between Commando's and Special Forces and in many cases they will do a similar task based on what is available in a particular environment. SFSG is not some independent team that is higher ranked that Royal Marine Commandos it is a force that acts in a support capacity to Special Forces and they have additional training to allow them to act as that support group. What Britain really needs is special operations to cover all the elite services and probably to make new forces as well which are suitable for particular needs.
Awesome, I was in for a short while, unfortunately never made it all the way through training, tripped up on the most ridiculous medical condition and got booted off. However, I had, by a country mile, the best time of my life whilst I was in. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. I took so many of the skills I learned with me. I trained with and cleaned my weapon so religiously, I could still strip it and build it blindfolded now, and all the stoppage drills & damaged SUSAT drills are still in my muscle memory. Good times! 😊
My Dad was in the Royal Navy years ago. My Parents hadn't been a couple after I was a young child, yet my Dad was an incredible influence, teaching me in the absence of any academic influence, how an Episodic memory is best utilised with biometric facial and other sensory recognisions, especially when biometry software was unheard of. I learnt the kind of sense of adventure that ignored the kinds of concerns that most people thought of as hurdles between them & progress. Logical thinking, letting environments reveal their own fruitful journey paths, reliance on adaptable talents and enjoying achieving the goals of a mission, were learnt & evolved every day, into every year. December 17th, 2022., celebrates the completion of the 1st Fifty years of my my having been Human Trafficked after my Parents separated of 1972. The Modern Slavery statute 2016 now entitles me to be supported as 'that' 7yr old child of 1972, and considered "rescued" as though rescued on the 1st day of the Human Trafficking. Technically, that 'rescue' shouldn't ignore the re're're're're Human Trafficking that culminated in my being here 1.5 decades. The consideration of 'rescued', given its statutory ordinary meaning, should provide that I am exempt from the myriad of crime demography associated of these Human Trafficking pyramids. Realistic estimations assert that nationally, England could have between 200 and 500 Fraud pyramids, with aprox 500 people per ponzi scheme pyramid, ranging aprox a 5 mile - 20 mile radius, each. That is, per each City, accross each Country. Using an average, with the calculation achieved from the original knowledge of one vicinity of Human Trafficked families with very young children, us who were the children being GrandParent age (my Mum was re'Trafficked last October 2021, to the Pines of Wandsworth SW18, where Kingston Hosp Trust & Richmond council Adult Safeguarding services both gave agreement to me that each data system of theirs reflects my Mum's situational circumstance as a Human Trafficking case and Wandsworth Council Adult Services got involved with the case as an emergency, last December 2021, yet zero change of circumstance and zero improvements have occured since and zero sightings of her have happened between her & me, the last aprox six months. Recognition talents biometrically did assert the familial involvement of the Saltoun Rd se24 Crack cocaine dealers female family member being a staff member where my Mum was being Trafficked to and the association, though distant, of them & the prendagast family associated of original 1970s Barnes South London Human Trafficking & the flower stall at Brixton Tube & the fruit & veg stall between the small supermkt & Boots chemist, Brixton Rd. A relative known as Dougie was recognised as a relative of the 1970s Barnes Prendagasts who were an incest family (no secret, the original sister, wife & mother shouted out her truths from a top window of a council estate, to me, in a conversation where I had commented on the facial similarity of her & her husband, whom she confessed was her brother. That incest couple had 2 known children, same age group as me. Rus prendagast was part of the same racist gang as a chap known now as the neighbour beneath my home and rus' sister Nicola married a chap known as Ian and they were both the neighbours above where my lived & was Re'Human Trafficked from (see Facebook tess.mccaffery with the history from 1970s.)
This is the sort of thing that should be used as a recruiting video, not the namby pamby shite that the army is using these days ie "am I allowed to cry" or "am I allowed to wear ladies underwear on operations" type of advert they've been using for the last few years. The armed forces engage with "bad" people and kill them. That's what's going to motivate your average 19 year old to enlist. Ads with helicopters and guns are more appealing than the wet adverts that we've been seeing. Nutters will be screened out during the selection process. At least this shows what some of us already know, the Royal Marines are an elite unit with a very broad skillset.
@@Kav. ahhh good. Judge jury and executioners all in one. Forget about rules of engagement hey? Stick to your day job. Leave commentary for adults maybe.
@@anecdotal_mattybs5435 Drug peddlers have been proven to be funding terrorists or to be terrorists themselves for decades now. If you're found with drugs, smuggling them on a ship then you should be treated as a terrorist would. I am an adult, why do you want us to treat drug peddlers like poor misguided children when they are literal terrorists? If you wiped out drug gangs in Europe you would see crime drop hugely, especially of the violent kind. The lives saved by removing these scum from our society would far outweigh the cost of their deaths.

A lad I grew up with is an RM, and so was his dad and grandad. Three of the toughest, most switched on people I've ever known.
Great respect Commandos 🥷 👍
Good luck 🕊️
You are very beautiful ☺️

“Everybody has to understand that when they’re dealing with Royal Marines from 42 Commando they’re dealing with absolute professionals…”
This is one of the most badass things I’ve ever heard. These guys are such under appreciated national heroes. Keep it up!
I don't think anyone who has served in the British armed forces would say they under appreciated the Green Death.
Fuck yea, 22 MEU knows their stuff, good to see them getting some knowledge transfer back and forth between the dudes.
well done lads the only thing i can kill is a good vibe
Respect from across the pond
Biggest respect for the marines different gravy these blokes!
When you walk through those gates at CTCRM on day 1, you instantly know you’ve joined the best there is. You can all rest knowing you have a very special band of elite individuals protecting you all.
Isn’t the best the SBS?
@@joshuaalexander862 yes they are mate, and the SBS are Royal Marines. Unlike the SAS who recruit from all areas of the British Armed forces, the SBS only recruit from the Royal Marines
@@marine797 Thats not true at all, SBS and SAS recruit from all the forces, RMs are the SBS primary source of manpower, likewise the The paras are the SAS primary source, however anyone from the services can apply to these units.
@@DoubleTapsize I had a look mate and I stand corrected, they do indeed now take people from all regiments. I joined up in 1997 and they only recruited RM. I believe it’s still 80% RM though.
The RM is the parent unit for the sbs. The RM provides the support roles, command & leadership training and specialised courses that SB lads would be put on alongside none uksf personnel. The sbs might be Tri service recruitment and under the command of UKSF now but it's still an RM/ RN unit.
This is cinematic movie quality production!
Cheers from Canada lads!
One word "Excellent"
A cracking video, as usual!
Well done to the hierarchy 👏 in selecting a decent editing/film crew!
FULL RESPECT AND THANKYOU
I only opened this presentation and I heard Hatherways voice. Love that man.
Awesome work Commandos 🇬🇧🇺🇸🏅🥇🥈🥉
If I was still at sea, I would sleep soundly in my bunk; knowing these 'Lads' were on the job. No more Defence cuts, our armed forces are the best in the world and need supporting accordingly.
Supporting to do what exactly? Fight for America? Do you understand that we are currently one of the biggest military spenders in the world, number 2 in NATO, all this despite the fact that the UK is in a very safe geographical position, far removed from conflict and enemy powers unlike countries that spend similar GDP % on military like Finland, Poland, Turkey. The policy you support is an aspect of American suzerainty over the UK. We need to scale back spending to the appropriate level to defend just the UK and it's possessions, retain our nuclear capabilities to safeguard against unlikely existential threats, stop contributing so much to NATO strength, stop sending British soldiers to die thousands of miles away for "British values".
STOP SUPPORTING AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY OBJECTIVES.
Masterpiece of a video. Too cool.
This new Call of Duty looks really good!!
I'm preordering now.
Excellent work all round!!!!
Superb video, excellent production quality.
I really like how not mention the NGVs bc the royal marines don’t have quads they have duals that makes it feel real
What😂
Great vid, can’t be to far away from sbs type work 💪
Go Royal ! - Part of HM forces. Best in the world.
I had the honor to serve with them in Norway & to live & survive there takes training, learning the skills & not for one moment thinking it`s a skiing holiday.
Colt Carbines, helmets designed for MCT operations, floating body armour, RIB seats that move with the waves... Looks like Canada has made a very large contribution to the Royal Marines 🙂
Wait, does Canada have Marines now?
@@cm-pr2ys i think he means a lot of the equipment that the RMC use are canadian which he would be correct
Devout professionals 👌🏼 😎 🇬🇧
Huge respect for these guys!
It was my dream since I was a child to join the Royal Marines. However my body is cursed, everytime I got ready to join I was hit by another medical drama. From needing bowl surgery when I was 16 to needing eye surgery when I was 24. Then when I was 28 I was diagnosed with a major heart disorder which was the final blow as I now have a defibrillator inside of me and can never join the Royal Marines let alone any part of the military or armed forces. I'm now 32 and feel completely lost in life as all my dreams that I had my whole life have been shattered!!
I will always respect and take my hat off to all those serving, for they are blessed to be able to follow their dreams!
What the Fleet Requires. Well said Sir.
Excellent well made video
Wazzers video Royal
This must be a very exciting specialist role for lads within 4-2 and RM in general to be part of. I think specialist boarding and counter narcotics roles have been the responsibility of 4-2 previously, however, some of the added tasks as depicted in this presentation may have been the responsibility of SF (SBS or SAS Boat Troop) until fairly recently prior to the development of UKSF Support units such as UKSFSG. Some of the lads shown here with concealed facial shots may well have been SBS Operators. I hope many of the guys who conduct these types of operations do take that next obvious step to SF. Lastly, the new development of `Gravity`s` new `jet pack` flying suit will undoubtedly play a large role in the military, especially with SF teams on various tasks, especially for Maritime CT and will make boarding a vessel much, much easier! Great video! Garry H, South Carolina, RAF retired.
SBS training is far more specialized and as such there simply would not be enough operational members to perform to the scale of the UK forces as a whole.
There is overlap between Commando's and Special Forces and in many cases they will do a similar task based on what is available in a particular environment.
SFSG is not some independent team that is higher ranked that Royal Marine Commandos it is a force that acts in a support capacity to Special Forces and they have additional training to allow them to act as that support group. What Britain really needs is special operations to cover all the elite services and probably to make new forces as well which are suitable for particular needs.
Just back to show some Royal Marines Commando appreciation 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧 Semper Fi my limey cousins!
Great to see you again my yank cousin 🇬🇧🍻🇺🇸 hope you are doing well
@@sovkhan4359Semper Fi bro! Much appreciated!
Good to see marines of other friendly nations :) marines are the same with high base sets, yet very different in expertises in each nations.
The Dream Job
1 Day
Give it 110% mate
Keep the good job lads Godbless
Whatever you pay your media team it isn't enough.
Royal Marines and SBS, big respect from Brazil. By the way, Great video!
Am in awe. Amazing job done by amazing people.
Those Colt Canada C8a1s look awesome.
Deal is one game every day to learn from You and I will put everything to play.
Awesome, I was in for a short while, unfortunately never made it all the way through training, tripped up on the most ridiculous medical condition and got booted off.
However, I had, by a country mile, the best time of my life whilst I was in. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
I took so many of the skills I learned with me.
I trained with and cleaned my weapon so religiously, I could still strip it and build it blindfolded now, and all the stoppage drills & damaged SUSAT drills are still in my muscle memory.
Good times! 😊
My Dad was in the Royal Navy years ago. My Parents hadn't been a couple after I was a young child, yet my Dad was an incredible influence, teaching me in the absence of any academic influence, how an Episodic memory is best utilised with biometric facial and other sensory recognisions, especially when biometry software was unheard of. I learnt the kind of sense of adventure that ignored the kinds of concerns that most people thought of as hurdles between them & progress. Logical thinking, letting environments reveal their own fruitful journey paths, reliance on adaptable talents and enjoying achieving the goals of a mission, were learnt & evolved every day, into every year.
December 17th, 2022., celebrates the completion of the 1st Fifty years of my my having been Human Trafficked after my Parents separated of 1972. The Modern Slavery statute 2016 now entitles me to be supported as 'that' 7yr old child of 1972, and considered "rescued" as though rescued on the 1st day of the Human Trafficking. Technically, that 'rescue' shouldn't ignore the re're're're're Human Trafficking that culminated in my being here 1.5 decades. The consideration of 'rescued', given its statutory ordinary meaning, should provide that I am exempt from the myriad of crime demography associated of these Human Trafficking pyramids. Realistic estimations assert that nationally, England could have between 200 and 500 Fraud pyramids, with aprox 500 people per ponzi scheme pyramid, ranging aprox a 5 mile - 20 mile radius, each. That is, per each City, accross each Country. Using an average, with the calculation achieved from the original knowledge of one vicinity of Human Trafficked families with very young children, us who were the children being GrandParent age (my Mum was re'Trafficked last October 2021, to the Pines of Wandsworth SW18, where Kingston Hosp Trust & Richmond council Adult Safeguarding services both gave agreement to me that each data system of theirs reflects my Mum's situational circumstance as a Human Trafficking case and Wandsworth Council Adult Services got involved with the case as an emergency, last December 2021, yet zero change of circumstance and zero improvements have occured since and zero sightings of her have happened between her & me, the last aprox six months. Recognition talents biometrically did assert the familial involvement of the Saltoun Rd se24 Crack cocaine dealers female family member being a staff member where my Mum was being Trafficked to and the association, though distant, of them & the prendagast family associated of original 1970s Barnes South London Human Trafficking & the flower stall at Brixton Tube & the fruit & veg stall between the small supermkt & Boots chemist, Brixton Rd. A relative known as Dougie was recognised as a relative of the 1970s Barnes Prendagasts who were an incest family (no secret, the original sister, wife & mother shouted out her truths from a top window of a council estate, to me, in a conversation where I had commented on the facial similarity of her & her husband, whom she confessed was her brother. That incest couple had 2 known children, same age group as me. Rus prendagast was part of the same racist gang as a chap known now as the neighbour beneath my home and rus' sister Nicola married a chap known as Ian and they were both the neighbours above where my lived & was Re'Human Trafficked from (see Facebook tess.mccaffery with the history from 1970s.)
This is the sort of thing that should be used as a recruiting video, not the namby pamby shite that the army is using these days ie "am I allowed to cry" or "am I allowed to wear ladies underwear on operations" type of advert they've been using for the last few years. The armed forces engage with "bad" people and kill them. That's what's going to motivate your average 19 year old to enlist. Ads with helicopters and guns are more appealing than the wet adverts that we've been seeing. Nutters will be screened out during the selection process. At least this shows what some of us already know, the Royal Marines are an elite unit with a very broad skillset.
Did they kill the drug smugglers?? Hmmmmmmm 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@anecdotal_mattybs5435 I hope so, drug peddlers are no better than terrorists
@@Kav. ahhh good. Judge jury and executioners all in one. Forget about rules of engagement hey?
Stick to your day job. Leave commentary for adults maybe.
@@anecdotal_mattybs5435 Drug peddlers have been proven to be funding terrorists or to be terrorists themselves for decades now.
If you're found with drugs, smuggling them on a ship then you should be treated as a terrorist would.
I am an adult, why do you want us to treat drug peddlers like poor misguided children when they are literal terrorists?
If you wiped out drug gangs in Europe you would see crime drop hugely, especially of the violent kind. The lives saved by removing these scum from our society would far outweigh the cost of their deaths.
Meanwhile in the British Army: it’s okay to cry or pray
SQUAD's upcoming update seems promising
7:35 one of the coolest shots I’ve ever seen.
my son now 18 wants to join the marines , (not really what I want ) so made him watch black hawk down , he said its just part of the job I know that andstill wants to join .what you want me to do be like most young people taking drugs and doing nothing, guess you just have to support him .
Go get em boys and girls! We are very proud of you!
"Girls!?!?" No women has passed the 32 week RMC course. Only 1 or 2 has done the waterd down 9 weeks All Arms,,,. Gender and Equality BS cant hide here, either you perform or you dont get in. Not a BS HR or Finance job environment,,
@@FJ-ln9iu I was referring to the WHOLE force, air, land and sea. People who serve in general
Where the heck is my country with a video like this? C'mon America step it up!
The British military basically work for America anyway.

James Bond could never keep up with you all.
Thankyou
I would like to join the British navy if given the opportunity. God bless the Royal Marines
This is brilliantly done. WOW. 😮❤❤❤
Those 7 inch wide caving ladders are no joke. I used one as part of an obstacle course in broad daylight and it was challenging then. Couldn't imagine having to use one at night, on rolling seas, and in 15+ lbs of kit.
Great work lads
I’m impressed as I am with all the top of tier 1 and 2 operators. I know how hard they train and I only want to be young again and only train for something like this and have a high security clearance in order to achieve the greatest levels.
Mad respect! Oorah! Semper Fi CWO2, USMC (Ret)
Climbing up the side of a ship, by a wire caving ladder, in all your kit, in the dark. Knowing if you fell you're f**ked. That takes some doing.
These guys are just as good as the Royal Dutch Marine corps. :)
Royal Marines are the worlds best
I wish I could join the Royal Marines
What's stopping you?
@@Nero.z. I live in the United States, and I’m Mexican. I was committed for a while to move the Uk and become a citizen and join the Royal Marines, but then I thought that would take a long time and a lot of money. So I just decided to join the marines here in America. But if I were given the chance I would still join the Royal Marines.
@@khrizperez9488
Wait a minute you want to join Royal Marines while you are living in the US?
The United States Marine Corp and partake in the world's most elite infantry group. USMC training is tough and hell and elite but not at the same level as Commandos but the USMC have options with it to partake in special operations.
If you are in the USMC be proud of that service and realize not everybody gets the chance.
@@bighands69 your right man. I committed to joining USMC after high school
Great recruiting video.
The RMC feels like special forces now
