I have no wish to join the marines but I tell you what - i wish I had these guys energy, resolve, grit, fitness and die-hard determination! I just recently got back from an 15 week shoulder injury after falling/slipping on my way to my local gym and felt so despondant at the length of time it took to sort itself out and am only getting back into swimming etc. I just wish I had their strength and determination. I know an ex RM and Falklands Veteran!
I remember crying as I past the finish line. All that pain and realisation that it was over hit me. For me it was easily the hardest test but for others a little bimble on Dartmoor 😆
Unless the civies have done 10 tors on the moor I doubt that they know what it is like here, with all seasons possible in one day but mostly the wind, always seems to be windy even on a hot summers day.
Well done lads iam a civie but ill never talk bad about you and your team mates unless youve been there and done that then dont slag them again well done green berets

I am a national cross country runner, and have done infantry training in army reserves. I also passed the fitness test for PTI which involves a march like this, heavier weight but only 8 miles (25kg in 2hrs) And obviously I haven’t done any training on the level of commandos, but take it from me it’s much harder than it looks. That weight feels heavier and heavier and makes running awkward, and 30 miles over this terrain ain’t easy! It’s a lot harder than it looks. If you have no experience in loaded marching you won’t understand. It’s hard
Trust me dartmoor is one of most unforgiving places in the UK wild, wind swept and rugged under foot and it's true what they say that you can get all 4 seasons in very short space of time. It's challenging for anyone but for those Marine recruits doing this as part of their final test it's a huge challenge well done lads 👍🇬🇧
Think I can say without fear of contradiction that these are men who will die for each other Anyone doubts this watch royal marine helicopter rescue freely available on YT
@@Josh-qx8sq lol that's murderous. I heard it was 30lbs. I just tried to do my own 9 miler....its 7.5 miles, 6lb pack (phone keys bike lock and chain) big hoodie, neck buff and hat......1hr 45 mins lol. But I weigh 264lbs .
British soldier carries 24 pounds and a rifle, walks 30 miles in 8 hours. The Roman legionnaire carries 88 pounds (without a backpack), walks 15 miles in a day, but in the evening digs a moat, sets up a palisade, and sets up camp. And so every day. Hold his beer.
Firstly, have you been to Dartmoor, it’s absolute shite. Roman legionaries got to take roads and when they didn’t they didn’t go through fucking rivers, going in a bloody straight line because the bridge is untactical, incomparable.
@@hectormackie3654 I haven't been to Dortmund. Legionnaires usually walked on the roads this way. But do not forget that the legionnaire's march could last for weeks, it was routine and not training. Add to this 40 kg of equipment and the construction of a fortified camp at the end of each day.
@@hi-rm8ei 56 miles (90 km) in three days carrying 80-pound (36 kg) loads. As far as I understand, this was a necessary measure related to the loss of Chinook transport helicopters. Given the complete naval blockade of Argentina, her defeat was a matter of time.
You must remember these lads jog 5 miles before breakfast each day and the training goes back too the Romans and Greeks a forced night march get men and equipment too a battle field fast that 30 mile and the 9 mile are important exercise for any cadet too do and after the green berit you learn more
Majid Ali The Royal Marines are a Special Operations Force which provide a unit to support the Special Forces (SFSG) along with the RAF Regiment and 1st Battalion of Parachute Regiment (PARA 1). SAS/SBS are Special Forces which also undergo Arctic/Jungle/Desert warfare training with the SAS doing more intense training when it comes to parachuting and SBS do more intense training for operations at sea and amphibious operations. SRR also provide support to these special forces and specialise in reconnaissance. SAS and SBS switch every 6 months as to who provide counter-terrorism first response whilst the other performs other classified operations. So to clarify, the Royal Marines are a Tier 2 of NATO forces whilst SAS are Tier 1. However, most Royal Marines decide to join the SBS (as they are based in Poole and used to be a section of the Royal Marines) instead if they consider becoming a member of the Special Forces and must have served at least 3 years with their parent troop.
P COMPANY TESTD 10 MILER Carrying a 35lb (16kg) bergen and a rifle. To be completed in under 1 hour and 50 minutes. TRINASIUM Assault course set 55ft (17m) above the ground. This is the only event that is a straight pass or fail (all the other events are scored/the total score required to pass is 45, with 10 points max being awarded for each test). LOG RACE A team event, in which 8 men carry a log weighing 60kg over 1.9m (3.1km). 2 MILE MARCH An individual effort over 2m (3.2km), carrying a 35lb (16kg) bergen, rifle, combat jacket, and helmet. Have 18 minutes to complete the run. STEEPLECHASE A timed 1.8 mile (2.9km) cross-country run, followed by an assault course. Time limit is 19 minutes, after which candidates lose one point every 30 seconds. MILLING Each candidate is paired with another of 'similar weight and build', and is given 60 seconds to demonstrate 'controlled physical aggression' in a milling contest (similar to boxing). Candidates are scored on their determination and aggression, whilst blocking and dodging result in points deducted. They wear head protection, gum shields and boxing gloves. 20 MILE ENDURANCE MARCH 20m (32km) squadded march. Carry a 35lb (16kg) bergen and rifle. Must be completed in under 4 hours and 10 minutes. STRETCHER RACE Divided into teams of 16 men, and have to carry a 175lb (79kg) stretcher over a distance of 5m (8km). No more than four candidates carry the stretcher at any given time. THE COMMANDO TESTS 9 MILE SPEED MARCH It is a trooped march, led by a PTI and must be completed in full, as a troop in 90 minutes. Carrying 21lbs and a 9lb weapon. THE ENDURANCE COURSE A 2.5 mile, cross country obstacle course. The course consists of underwater tunnels, deep water pools, rolling hills, river runs, mudded pits and bogs. This is followed immediately by a 4 mile road run back to camp, where the commando recruits are able to pull their weapon through once before firing 10 rounds onto a representative target on the 30 metre range. They must complete the full endurance course and must achieve a minimum of 6 shots on target, all within the 73 minute time restriction. Carrying 21lbs and a 9lb weapon. TARZAN ASSAULT COURSE A high-wire obstacle course that tests the candidate's speed and agility at height. Starting with the 'Commando Slide', the candidate is to complete the wire course and then complete a full circuit of the Bottom Field assault course, conducting a half regain over the chasm. Once they have completed the bottom field, they will complete the Tarzan by scaling the 30 foot wall, rope assisted. Carrying 21lbs and a 9lb weapon and a time limit of 13 minutes. 30 MILE MARCH Cross country route with intermittent stops for water and food. Carrying 21lbs and a 9lb weapon with safety stores in day snacks (extra weight for food and water). Must be completed in 8 hours for Other Ranks and 7 hours for Officers. While both are extremely difficult, I believe the Commando Tests are more difficult. There are less tests but all of them are pass/fail whilst the P company tests are scored. A pass/fail system is more mentally challenging to points imho.
