Pay

[nachtachrach]

I found out that the rate of pay for a Marine on entry is £11,774 a year. but, I haven't found how what the daily rate of pay is.

so far I have this information: 30 days a year paid holiday, and public holidays are free.

what other free time do marines have? one day a week free? two? one day a fortnight free?

anyone care to enlighten me?

£32.26 per day until you pass week 15, then £35 a day

Weekends off (from sat afternoon) but until week 8 you need to be back saturday night before 10

Beardo, you're info must be out of date. After 6 months assuming you've passed wk 15 (Baptist Run) you're on £37.99 a day. Translates to around £800/month take home. Don't know before, was around £640, so prob now about £660 take home.

During training, normally Sat pm and Sundays off. After wk 8 you can leave at close of play on Sat and return by Sun eve. Before then you have to be back by 2200 Sat night, then can go out again Sun. Every now and then you get a long weekend, ie leave Fri pm back Sunday. Depends on training commitments, occasionally you'll get very little or no weekend.

Units, when on base, Wed pm sport, Fri thin out about midday til turn to Mon morning. But obviously away a lot on deployments, exercises and other training evolutions.

ah so the pays gone up, good to hear

[Mr Mojo Risin]

thats a pretty good earner in all honesty, gotta rack, scran, rifle and free phys.

FREE PHYS no gym fees either

I agree, Mr Mojoh!

Come on, where else do you get free phys training, a personal instructor (lmao), 4 meals a day and a rifle?

The Royal Marines is where its at

And, well, theres such thing as pay, I believe
