Tough three-day course BEFORE starting Royal Marine Commando training
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- It is not as simple as just turning up to begin your Royal Marines Commando training.
Any potential candidates are faced with strict standards they will need to meet - and exceed - if they are to prove they can make it as a Royal Marines Commando.
There are several stages before someone can take on the initial training and Forces News has been able to join candidates as they take on the Candidate Preparation Course (CPC) stage.

I did this course but i was so bluddie good the officers pulled me aside and was all, mate you are too good its embarassing us we are going to promote you to SAS straight away and everyone in gym was proper in awe and one of the officers gave me his medals cos i was so good
yeah when I did mine the king arrived outside my house to congratulate me on how incredible i was nd gave me my own personal apache
How did you do on the underwater knife fighting course?
Lucky for you, they didn’t even let me join. Saying somet about how I was the bestest recruit they’d ever seen in their whole lives, and how I’m too good to join. I can’t really remember tho
When I joined... They said I was that good looking... They just gave me a green lid... Made me camp commander... Made me an sas officer,... 10 months of the year off with full pay and said I could marry Princess Anne.... Obviously I turned them down, got the train home and worked in a factory instead. 😅
When I joined they all went home and told me i’m a “One man army” 🤣
Even the Commando training videos are a great recruitment tool.
RAF: "stop hiring useless white males"
Training for what?? They don’t even protect the borders of the UK 🇬🇧.
Exactly, troops are required
Not really, it's been toned down to accommodate snowflakes.
@@irvsstella It's pretty decent and solid still, look at the US bootcamps nowadays, those are a joke.
As a retired royal navy NCO I have nothing but the greatest respect for these lads . It reminds me how glad i was to have chosen ships instead of pain, 😅.
The British navy is the best navy in the world. Surely the navy is more pain.
@@cocofresh6974 no idea what that means .
@@cocofresh6974 There are very few things tougher than training to be a marine.
Maybe I misinterpreted your comment when you said NCO
@@cocofresh6974 NCO is non commissioned officer
My 19 year old son has literally just passed this and is on the train home 💪🏻
Well he's made the right start in life, now he just has to follow it up and complete Commando Training 😊
Well done young man
Congratulations to him I hope he serves with pride.
How is he getting on? Did he start the course in the end?
Being a US non military person I love learning about our allies military capabilities. Love these guys!
Been there, done that 1965, and still wear my green lid on special occasions. OARMAARM :)
Did this back in 1999 and passed it, did 8 weeks as a trainee Marine before I decided to opt out. Still a great experience and memories when I was 19.
Why did you opt out??
About the same as me too.... Injured on mud run 🏃♂️😭
Got to week 1 day 1, the drill instructor gave me agg so sparked him out and walked to Exeter train station.
@@kahariecharles3376because it’s freaking hard bro
Got my application in, few years ago videos like this would make me really nervous but now it motivates me
hows it going
Any progress?
I did the PRC in 87. Passed but got appendicitis before joining date so got binned with right to re apply. Joind RE and went all arms. Glad i did it that way in the end...
cheers dits
@@aegg9915🤣🤣🤣
22 year Army, out 22 years but still love a good recruiting video....
I love watching these videos. It makes me nostalgic. As a U.S. Marine I was lucky enough to go on course for the All Arms. It was the best time of my service so far.
I don't know you and I don't know your story, but on behalf of our bods, I apologise for what they did to your liver.
@@JC-kz3ut last man standing ;) must have been because it was All Arms haha
Was very lost when I was 18 and almost joined the RM in 2006. I would've gone straight to Afghan, that was very clear. I didn't care. Chose not to and ended up as a crane operator instead n still managed to travel the world and ended up working on oil rigs in the Danish sector of the North Sea for 6 years before a car crash (then the company going bust while I was recovering). Put an end to that career. Flash forward to recently (my whole life I thought my grandad was manning the AA guns near the coast in nearby Hartlepool during WW2, until this year when my mam told me that my grandad was one of the original Royal Marine Commandos and was at Dunkirk, fought in North Africa and then made his way through Europe. Even picked up a few medals which were stolen in the early 90s just after he died n i was born. Was absolutely gutted when I found out, if I'd known that Back when I was 18 in 2006 I 100% would've joined up. It wasn't like she lied to me, because then I told absolutely nobody about my desire to join. Strange how things work out isn't it. I'm back off to uni this year at 34 to do a history degree....
A recruitment for a possible all out war international overseas war, in the Asia and Persians Gulf, perhaps even South China sea. Just as U.S letting those immigrants in like its a welcome gate. yet millions accounted and plus are in the U.S.
1/3 of them immigrants probably on the same try out test like the Royal Marines.
Is sad, that after the WW2 history has taught nothing to those leaders that had the opportunity. Now history is about to repeat it's self again.
as a general population opinion, peace is better living than hateful grudges over each other.
The world, as i mean the whole world. 3rd and 4th world countries are yet to dream of the future. The robotics of the future, where cars on the sky.
But if we continue to hate, then we would probably will look alike some other planet like our neighbour Mars.
No Life.
Cheers dits
You did the right thing
Sorry about your grandad.... Interesting life you've had... 👏👏
I have been desperate for a video on what cpc is like thank you very much. :)
Opc...??????
i wasnt RM but every course i attended had pre course fitness test /weapons tests every minute well worth while
I remember watching them training at the base from the local train that runs along the estuary, in the 1980s. It looked hard work in winter.
It is horrible in winter - I did that in Poland for recon - nightmare.... plus you sleep outside
I was lucky, because I joined as a Junior Marine I did the first part of my training at Deal. I didn't know the first thing about keeping fit (there was no RUclips in those days, in fact there was no internet😀) and I was a farmer's son.
They built us up slowly at Deal and then after we passed out of there (we still had to complete a sort of mini Commando test week) after we had marched with bayonets fixed through Deal town we headed back to camp for a full passing out parade. Being senior troop in Deal was nearly as good as being the Kings Squad at CTC (but not quite). We then went to CTC and after a couple of weeks of further training came the commando tests but, by this time I was as fit as butcher's dog as they say. Things were slightly different back in 70's as after we were presented with our Green lids, we then had a further two weeks training before we got our Commando flashes (maybe it was a Junior Marine thing).
I don't envy the lads that want to join the finest Corp in the world in this modern age, as if I was their age and had to do what they do to just get into training I would never have made my boyhood dream come true.
Good luck to you lads, pain is just in the mind (I wish 🤣)
I was 17 when I began my training. Weighed somewhere between 145-150lb, skinny and a chainsmoker at the time and although the 32 weeks almost killed me (it felt like anyway) what got me through was that the big muscle bound guys (who would poke fun at me at all opportunities) were dropping out all around me till me and the other skinny looking teens got to pass out
@@sc0ttishnutj0b75 I was only 16 when I joined and left the farm in lanarkshire to venture into the big wide world.
I remember the first day, there were 60 schoolboy's of whom most of us were away from home for the first time in our lives, when we passed out of Lympstone, we were16 (that's how many made it to the end) hardened men all set to conquer the world if asked. 🤣
Army should look after all homeless peoples. Thank you for service!😍❤️❤️🙏
Finest in the world? Think you mean the parachute reg mate
@@olivermclaine7125 🤣🤣
As a proud old retired Four Two Commando Class of 82 Falklands Bootneck, i was totally stunned by the comment about the Endurance course on Woodbury ..”now they change into trainers and run back on their return” shave off. We had to break the ice too get through Peters pool and the sheep dip with our SLR’s in my day, all while wearing 58 pattern webbing DMS boots and puttee’s that soaked up so much water it was like carrying another man’s kit back.
I totally understand these young un’s are only on the PRMC, and not actually in recruit training just yet, but better to know exactly what and how they will be doing the Phys and the kit they will be doing it in, surely they don’t change into trainers in Recruit training for the run back nowadays.
I imagine the 41 Commando lads from Korea said similar about your boys in 1981 and then changed their minds in '82.
they dont even change into trainers in naval basic training still made to yomp in those soggy boots dont you worry
They are civvies not used to running in Boots I am sure the test is in Boots near the end of training. Ex RM PW1.
58 pattern sandpaper webbing and large pack.. trying to get those straps through the brass buckles when soaked 😅
Their issue boots are essentially trainers now anyway. I think we were the last to be issued ammo boots. I left and then did a 2 day charity thing in boiler suits and issue boots, and they literally feel like slippers.
Tough but I passed first time thankfully. Tips to focus on for next time: 1) get good at press-ups and holding the press-up position for ages, 2) be a cardio monster and get good at running quickly and for ages, 3) do more drags/sled work as the drags got me so fatigued
@stevephillips3332pulling things behind you i believe
@stevephillips3332pushing the sled on the fake grass in a gym and dragging weight somehow like walking back wards uphill with weight in a rucksack
I did training 1969/70 before health and safety or any prep work,sign up go to CTC crack on boy, This seems to me to be much better,and I expect gets more people passed out, I joined with 36 and 6 passed out.
63 to 21 15 originals.
Green lids are earned not given. Respect to everyone who has done the course.
My advice to all yonge guys . I can understand the adventure aspect but get in and get out at a young age when you can find another career because remember if you stay in too long and leave at say for example 35 it's hard to find another career you can't be a comando in civy street and of course theirs no family life when your not on operations you are training for something. Even if you go into private security you will still never be home and that 35 year old body will not work the same so lads get in get out and then find a girl and be a civy and have the memories .
My father was REME till he was mid 30s I supppose. He hated civvie street and wound up the rest of his working life as MOD police. which suited him. Adjustment not easy I think for many.
There’s truth to a lot of what you said OP, but honestly, if you’re the type that is interested in this kind of thing, chances are you’re gonna be bored out of your mind in the civilian world. To each their own.
Will power and a devotion to duty!🇨🇦👍
I miss Lympstone
KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT !
Yeah sitting around training Ukrainian’s whilst the UK 🇬🇧 gets invaded without a shot being fired lol. That’s what they can expect.
It's Royal Marines Commando training, not Marine. I would have expected you to get the grammar correct.
In my late teens early 20s I would not have had a chance in passing this. Now in my 40s and a dam sight fitter and stronger I'd love to give this a go!
Too late you're a decade over the upper age limit.
@@JammyDodger45 Yes I know that lol!!
Well there is one option ...
Join the RAF Regiment Reserves (age limit is 54) then put your application in for the All Arms Commando Course and your🤞🏻!
I've seen plenty of RAF Regiment with Green Berets (although I'm sure they were all Regulars) but if you don't ask you don't get 😁
@@JammyDodger45 Thank you appreciate that. I'll definitely look into it.
@MyRants second option mate is get yourself to the Ukrainian embassy and enlist if you have previous combat experience, I went to but was persuaded otherwise from family
Looks a well structured build up, saves wasting time and money on no-hopers. Most impressive thing I saw was seeing Chris Tyrall doing the 4 selection tests at the end of the Commando course, he passed at the age of 55!
Let's get it right here, Terrill didn't 'pass' the Commando Tests, he participated successfully, but that's not a Pass. Unless he'd had months of thrashings, sleep deprivation, calorie deficit and constant stress then it's not 'doing' the Tests.
Yes gives hope to all men in there 50s , granted he didn't do the recruits course 24hrs a day , but he got fit enough outside of RM to pass the tests
@@Foxtrottangoabc Lucky enough to have served with Ran Fiennes, fittest chap I ever met, he did 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents and climbed Everest at 62!
Absolutely! A lot of the tests are achievable with a good level of fitness, but the fatigue and robustness required to serve is displayed by completing a sequence of tests in a short period of time.
The Tests in isolation from the training aren't especially difficult.
A good club level Tri-athlete/CrossFitter could pass them (with appropriate introductory training on the Tarzan Assault and Endurance courses).
The hard bit is passing them after 29 weeks of degradation culminating with a particularly gruelling 10 day final exercise directly preceding the Tests.
That's the 'Commando' aspect.
I just hope that they are looked after when they are in their forties or fifties and not just used because they are young and enthusiastic
By the time we reach that age we can look after ourselves!
Good point Peter. I can guarantee there probably not looked after. All the weight you carry in training. And deployment in your burgan. Or day sack. Can’t be good on your body in later life
The Elite (Friday the 13th) - To earn the Coveted Green beret you gotta be super fit and extremely tough in the head.
Would love to do all this again 😁🙌 great memories
If I can pass everything except swimming 🏊 would they still take me or they'll send me home?
I done this in 87 no idea how tough it would be when I arrived I got binned due to an existing injury and got asked to come back when it was sorted and I could run 6 miles in 36 mins with a weighted pack on my back 😂 didn't go back due to what life holds for you but sometimes wonder how different thing would be big respect to all who do this 👍
6 miles in 36 mins with weight. Bit of an exaggeration there even though it was in the 80s.
Cannot believe you don’t get your own room
@@danielmcleanfisher why would you want your own room? What are you trying to hide?
There is no way they would expect you to run 6 miles in 36 mins without kit let alone with it.
As long as you can run 5k in around 20 mins and have upper body strength to carry your own weight that is sufficient to start training.
They change all the ropes frequently due to the bacteria from them getting into wounds, Woodbury Rash, sadly a small handful of deaths from Sepsis due to this.😢
panton valentine leukocidin bacteria found in Woodbury common in the flora and forna, antibiotics resistance, anti bacterial soaps are a must as well as diligent wound care and prevention.

Wow just 4 overhand grasp pull ups? Twas 18 back in 91. Passed PRC and 2 weeks later I was back at CTC for the delights! Wish I could go back and do it all over again, hoofin times.
Mate it wasn't 18 as a minimum, that was the max.
In '89 it was a 6 minimum so I can't imagine they tripled it in 2yrs!
yeah back when I passed out in 96' it was 18 max pull up. 60 push ups, 85 sit ups and 21 burpees and a 500 metre sprint broke into 50 metre shuttles. The basic USMC fitness test@@JammyDodger45

I used to run the PJFTs for the Navy, Air Force and Marines. The Marines had the highest dropout rate by far.
🤔 I wonder why that would be?
Aye right
I think you've missed what he's saying there buddy.
@@JammyDodger45 what is he saying then 🤔
They are saying that they ran Pre Joining Fitness Tests for applicants to the military.
The tests are different standard for each Service.
The civilians undertaking the Royal Marines tests had the greatest failure rate as those tests are the most difficult.
I hope that clears it up for you mate.
The Exe Estuary is looking good.
Used to be 60 sit ups 45 press ups and 8 pull ups min. Dropping the standard
Interesting to see the changes from 30 years ago. Helmets, only four pull ups not 20, plastic lined tunnels and trainers for the run back from the endurance course. The accommodation is the same...
After this there is a 4 week ROP course where at the end of it you have to get similar standards to the old PRMC before starting the 32 weeks main training, so standards are still the same
It has never Hada 20 pull up policy.
@@grahamarnhem8659 It was 18 max when I did it ... i.e. we were told to stop at 18 reps... don't think the max as ever been 20 ... I think 6 was the min... not sure though.
@@rc198028 after a 2 hour thrashing only superman would do 20 pull ups.

'Change into trainers for the run back' on the Endurance course ? when did that start ?.
Good luck
Change into trainers what? What happened to running in hobnail boots as you arrive at Lympstone train station. Circa 1943.
Back in '81 it was white canvas plimsoles or DMS boots .. no Nikes back then! 🙂
@@mkdy218 I remember the good old plimsoles. we had white ones also, they were never allowed to get dirty. Always was envious on those lucky barstools who got black ones.
Commando training didn't move to CTCRM until 1960 and it was a further 16yrs until it has its own train station.
@@JammyDodger45 must have been Scotland 👀
@@JammyDodger45 the only station where you are glad to get on and not off 👌
Have they changed cpc? I thought it was 60 push-ups, 85 sit-ups, and 16 pull-ups.
Probably! Ain't like it used to be.
They’re max scores
I was thinking the same. I'm sure when I did mine it was 85 sit ups, 60 press ups, 25 pull ups and we did 50 weeks training.
It looks from this that their training is spit as well?
I'm not doubting the finished product though. I'm sure they are as equally fit as we were.
"Split" not spit!
I'm assuming that the max scores (60/85/16) are saved for the ROP? I was also surprised to see they are much lower on the cpc
*me sitting on the couch eating chips* I could totally do that
We were told were remodeled after the British Marine Corps but not an elite Commando group
As an aspiring Commando, has anyone got any tips as to what I should do to prepare myself for this? I am capable for the pushups, sit-ups, but I believe I may struggle with the pullups
Do
More
Pull-ups.
I hope that helps.
I'm also an aspiring Commando mate. Pull-ups are definitely up there in terms of importance, so are push-ups, sit-ups, and running in general, being on the move and that sort of stuff. Good luck lad.
Defo keep at the push ups pull ups and sit up. Leg strength is extremely important especially on the endurance course, also work your core as much as possible.
Yes…..stop pulling yourself
Callisthenics in elite military training is one of the most misunderstood things. The ability to climb and control body weight during exhaustion is what beats most people. Also do some swimming routines as it can be very tiring during a training schedule to have water exercises. Take up a sport like cross country running to develop that competitive edge.
I know I can do the beep test at the beginning....and I'd be out of gas 💁♂😭
Did most of this Aldershot PTI course then ARmy Air Corp middle Wallop ,took the troops on marches runs gym circuit training fitness for war ,the marines thought they were Bees Knees had a lot of back talk and attitute probs !

@@JammyDodger45criminals here don’t need to escape as British police now only exist to police TikTok for hurty words. They don’t chase actual criminals anymore.
You need an unlimited supply of stamina and loads of Mars bars for the 30 mile march....
And a liberal application of Lanacane (other products are available but that's all we had back in the day)!
Looks hard
Shame through they dont get paid hardly a living wage
They do more training than other branches of armed forces yet get paid the same.
Pay is very good in the UK's armed forces, because it is all disposable income if you are single and living in the block. Plus you save lots of money when you are on exercises and operations. If you buy a car you can't afford, or have too many children, then that's your lookout, mate. 🤪
Royal Marines do lots of training because they are a combat unit: it's like being an athlete or a gladiator. You don't have to put the training into use much, but you have to be good when it is needed.
If you join any techie/support type trade, then you are more likely to do that most of the time wherever you are. When you get promoted, then you'll often end up in a training post in between postings to operational units.
Yes go harder , don’t be weak
I thought it was 40 press ups?

No

No
@@user-ss2dt6gt5f in what way is it the same?
@@gboy05 The ROP is 4 weeks worth of training after this CPC but at the end of ROP they re do these exact gym tests to the old standard so you can progress onto mainstream training. They’ve pretty much lowered the standards for this 3 day course to get more lads through the door in the initial phases, but after 4 weeks they’ll re test to the old standards. You get 2 chances at ROP and if you fail both then that’s it. It looks like standards have been lowered when you just take this video for face value but they haven’t actually been lowered. They’ve just incorporated a new way of doing things

Well I did 25yrs in the Corps and my wife and I drive a Audi RS4 and a Volvo XC90 both of which we bought new in the last 3yrs so I'll let you work it out.
The depreciation must have hit you like day 1 in foundation.
No, bought them through our respective companies, it gets written off against tax.
During their careers if their smart with their money they can save alot because their rent and bills are heavily subsidised and they also get deployment bonuses, free gym, free pension… I don’t know the exact amount but if they do a full 22 years (I think it’s 20 now) career they get around £50k and an early pension, so it’s actually a comfortable retirement
