I was down there this weekend just gone and got not a wink of sleep, literally none whatsoever, the first night and not much on the second night either. but felt surprisingly up for it, all the same. Spent the three days running on pure adrenalin and not much else. I think they make the beds deliberately uncomfortable see if u can hack it. They're a lot more comfy than sleeping in a puddle as i'm sure we'll be doing lots on exersises. Can't wait.
I slept fine, but then again I am known for being calm when all others are flapping. ie GCSEs! Got up at 5 and felt wide awake.
I failed, but not as miserably as I expected. Myself and several others on my PRMC felt the Corprals were taking the piss a bit though. I went on the 19th (Sunday) August which was a small course, but there were two that week. So there were a few things we didn't do such as meet the diamonds.
I failed on the bottom field. Kind of pulled myself out kind of got pulled out. I had one Corpral dedicated to watching me, I was still beating the majority in the sprints, but the press ups were askin to much. Going back in December, know what to expect this time, don't kno if that good or bad though!!
You didnt meet the dimonds becuase it would have ben summer leave, and i am sure they woul want to come back just for you to ask questions about getting laid in exeter or how hard phys is.
Listen in men give 100% or i will thrash you till your eyes bleed!
God is airborne because he failed his commando course!

Im 16 and i had my PRMC earlier this year (i was still at school). i Failed although i completed everything. I had :
47 situps
19 pressups
6 pullups
13 on the bleep test.
5: 12 on the assault course
passed the 3 miler
i actually found the gym test two the hardest besause it was the final test and by the end of the course you are so tired. Im not one of those people who likes to give up though. As i said earlier i completed everything and at the end of the course they told me i had failed. i was gutted. if anybody is going for PRMC soon and they need some advice dont be afraid to ask me. by the way is there anybody on here that had PRMC June 23rd?
How can you max out on the bleep test and take that long on the assault course? You got to be pretty fit to score level 13 so i'd of thought gym test 2, which is mainly CV, would be a breeze for you. Interesting.
Still, fair played for tryin mate. Better luck next time.
yeh i dont know why i couldnt get any faster on the assault course mate, the "warm up" on bottom field probably knackered me out too much i thought i was going to piss it but never mind. ive set my sights on going in the army (infantry) for a few years to get a bit fitter then i am going to try for the Marines again hopefully. it was a good experience though. painful but good. i didnt meet the diamonds either . Did anyone else get woke up at bout 2 in the morning by a blokey on the loudspeakers shouting FIRE! FIRE! ?
We met 'the diamonds' and this joker in our group asked nothing but questions on masterbation, like it was a quick fire round or summit. Like 'if u been doin pull-ups all day, how do you have a w*nk in the evening cos your arms must be f*ck@d'. And 'do the NCO's bollock you for having porn in your locker' and other stuff like that.
They must have though we were a right bunch of nobbers but it was actually quite amusing. Regarding training and what life is really like at CTCRM, we got more info out of the guys in the canteen than the diamonds.
