I worked with the British military in the 1970s. Those guys were tight. They had the absolute best of everything from weapons to food. Professional. No bullshiit
Well they don’t anymore! SA80 is awful, I carried an A2 so we’re getting a bit better. As for food - rat packs… lowest bidder, only saving grace was the little tobasco bottle and I hear you don’t even get that now.
@@JammyDodger45 ooof, probably a few factors. Mentally I felt like I achieved getting through the PRMC, and wasnt mentally ready for the actual training. I turned 28 when I was down there and started as one of the fittest and turned into one of the weakest as just couldnt recover quick enough as the younger guys. Got injured on Marshall Star and that was breaking point for me. To be honest, the easter break they gave us made things worse as well. Lympstone Blues. All in all wasn’t mentally ready.
@@Sam_uetto - nightmare. Older lads tend to have a lower pass rate than the young pups, a combination of physicality, dealing with immature lads and also the fact that you've usually lived a bit of a life before joining. I took a couple of Recruit Troops through training and saw it first hand, we tended to push the older lads to go RMR as that was often a better fit for their mindset.
@@JammyDodger45 yeah definitely, although there were some older lads in my troop as well but couple of them were rejoins or had served in the Navy before. I just was over thinking everything where the younger lads could just switch off. Never even thought of RMR, would have definitely of considered that back then. Were you or are you still a Corporal (or higher) then? Obviously dont expect answer on this if you dont want to. My troop in training was 183 troop which just missed out of being on that Channel 4 series, thank god! 😂
@@Sam_uetto - we were at CTC at the same time! I was a Corporal when I took the lads through but I was back there about 6yrs later as the SNCO Training Standards on CTW when your Troop went through! I used to observe/assess PRMCs and Recruit Troops at various stages so we may well have actually met ... although I'd have just growled at you as I was a horrible bloke back then 🤣
I failed my PRMC when I was 18, I was super fit at the time and thought I had what it took but I was firmly put in my place by the end of the weekend. Anyone who gets that Beret fully deserves and will have my respect from the minute I meet them.
You couldn't of been that fit If you failed the PRMC, unless you failed when they said 'you can keep going for another 10 miles or get on the wagon now'. And it turned out to be round the corner.
@@leet6075 torn a muscle in my bicep whilst on the assault course so couldn't continue, got asked to go back to try for one last crack at it but didn't go back.
I love videos about the Royal Marines. Being from a military family in Exmouth always makes me smile hearing my little home town mentioned as part of the hardest infantry training course out there
Also, did that PRC (Potential Recruits Course) 36 years ago. I injured myself on the last part of the Tarzan Course at the end of day 2 and got a referral by the M.O. to come back in 6 months. If I remember correctly something like 8 folk dropped out during the warm-up on the Morning of the first day. I never went back down as life got in the way! Big respect to these guys.
But it isn't good. We have a tiny handful of professionals. That's it. Our military budget was eviscerated and nobody wants to join the Army because the country is a shitehole right now.
I went to the exact same recruitment office in the late 80s, there had been an advert in the paper for the Navy, as a kid I always wanted to be a Sniper but realised Royal Marines do a whole lot more stuff, so I caught the bus and went to Nottingham, walked in the office and he said were not hiring right now. I figured he'd judged me before I even spoke.
@@kaitriley1932 Yeah I figured that too, yet still wish I had puahed for a place as it's too late now, I gave up way too easy when Ii was young, but you know what teenagers are like.
Hahaha he's nailed how it feels when you get off the train to enter the training base ( royal navy Plymouth for me 16 years old) My jacket sleeves were too long 😂
I bet his suit wasn’t over sized after training. My mates son has just recently passed his basic training for the Royal Marines and he put on about 20lb of solid muscle on. He was always really fit but looked like a long distance runner where as now he’s looking more like a sprinter but he’s still got stamina.
Yeah. Like I went 8 weeks basic. Then two different parts of NCO school 8 weeks yeach. Then 8 weeks training new recruits bootcamp and 16 weeks unit tactis and operations 😂
I spent some time in Lympstone in the mid 1960s. It was great. Lots of running around and swinging through trees getting wet in water. The food in the canteen was the best ever.
The medicals they do are thorough. I discovered that my stepfather had split my spine away from my pelvis twelve years previously. Obv. that was the end of my military career. I never forgave him.
I always look at this way as someone that has actually served in the military. (U.S Military respectfully. U.S Navy: 2013-2017) No one unit can master everything. Individual units and branches are trained and created for different reasons. Every job requires a special skillset and different tools to do that job. If a job requires a hammer you don't send in the guy with the screwdriver you send in the guy that knows how to use a hammer. Same concept applies to the military too. Multiple nations, branches and units train with each other every day to improve on their skillsets to be an efficient fighting force. Everyone plays a position and a role into completing that mission.

That running test for Paras, my god ! I passed the basic Infantry test as a 17 year old flying colours, then when you look a little further............just fucking wow, i get it why alot of the guys are 6ft and look 30 when they 20.

Id did exactly the same. Marched into the recruitment office, said whats the hardest. They said paras or if you're a bit gay the marines.. So i joined the catering corp. I got a dcm for my vol-au-vants.
I was a scots guard and i remember during training at catterick i was using the bathroom and all these paras suddenly filed in. It looked like someone had beat the shit out of every one of them. They stood at the sinks covered in blood and bruises washing themselves. When i asked wtf happened one just grunted at me "its training" Im like fuck that shit 😂
How is that called basic training? That is the whole unit production phase. In Finnish military it depends of the unit and your military specialation it's from 6, 9 or 12 months. Minus couple of days for the past few yeats.
when people gloat that the royal marines were better than the usmc, just know that the royal marines' toughness and calibre were equivalent to the US army's regiment rangers or the recon marines. A whole different league.
Thanks for explaining that you don't understand what emotional immaturity means by displaying emotional immaturity in your reply. You couldn't make it up 🤣 Oh, and no recruiter anywhere in the world talks about 'rules of engagement' in your initial conversation so keep your bullshit to yourself.
When I went to the Recruitment office, just up the Road from you.Nottingham .I was Leicester.I joined the Royal Anglian Regiment.😂😂 Never went selection for Special Forces.
My dad was colour blind , he was a royal marine., i don't know if it hampered him , he didn't talk about his military stuff much , unless he had a drink lol., he learnt how to drink from 14 growing up in a pub, so by time he went in he could drink everyone under the table, still did when he came out to ,lol.
Because the brits and Americans call different things basic training. Like it’s not the same. Your basic training will be the equivalent of something else

Your lot must have forgot. Beat yall once, saved yall not once, but twice. Yall will need the US again.
@@jonathansmith3129- with such a poor grasp of history I take it you failed High School?
@@JammyDodger45 did the US not beat the british in the revolutionary war? Did the US not have to intervene and put a final stamp on WWI and WWII? Miss me the global stigmatism of the US. Wheither you like it or not the world depends on the US in so many ways. Especially US military. History proves it. So my question is, did you fail high school?
Don't be silly you learned your special force training from the brits😂 delta is literally based of the sas😂
Well seems to me just circles no ending
I would think the SAS would be more difficult.
Uksf is the toughest….
You can't join the SAS from civvy street nor is the SAS 'basic training'.
@@JammyDodger45 SAS reserves yes you can join as a civilian
@@burgundycommander7589 - no you can't.
When you apply for SASR you are 'loaned out' to another Reservist Unit to complete basic training and gain experience, only then can you apply for SF Selection.
@@JammyDodger45 You can join 21 and 23 SAS as a civilian yes. There’s no denying the facts
yeah lets go sign up for loads of vaccines!
Royal marine,,,,,,para well that’s just being able to fall out a plane really……
Marines and Para not much difference in training…if you prefer water or sky diving…is the only difference.
😊
8 month basic , damn
64 weeks for a potential Royal Marines officer.
Unlike the Royal Navy, Royal Air Force, and the British Army, there's is no separate academy or college for R.M.officers. They undergo their training in the same place as the recruits it's just twice as long.
That's on a par with Israeli paras. It kind of makes sense, as ours are descended from WWII British paras
9 now. that’s why he said “32 weeks, at the time”
Pegasus then marines
