PRMC QUESTION
You will both be fine as long as you go there with a Positive Mental Attitude. Go there with doubts and your doubts will be your downfall.
Come on lads! You have done the required stuff and you have both hacked it in your own time as in the times you have posted are OK. So your going to have PTI's giving you neat shit. Look at it this way, them PTI's were once in the same situation as yourselves.
Bootnecks are not grown they are made by blood sweat and tears by the blokes and their training teams.
You are both taking your first steps to that Green Lid. Crack on and in time you will be a member of a family that will live with you until the day you die. Gen Buzz.

3 milers is least of your worries, as Artist said Positive Mental Attitude.
The whole thing is about determination, desire to succee, never give up, never give in and you'll be fine, thats highlighted in the Strength and Determination test, mine fo which lasted nearly an hour LOL
**also, the run is now split into first 1.5m run is done as a squad in under 12min 30secs then a best effort run back in under 10mins 30secs, its not as daunting as it seems the new way in my opinion is easier than the full squaded 3mile**

Drew, I think from the replies above you can get the jist of whats required. Yes, you have to be reasonably fit. But it really is whats up top that counts - its your desire and determination to get through to the end, knowing that whatever they put you through, the man next to you is feeling the same pain that you are.
Just go down there with confidence, put absolute maximum effort into all the tasks. If you want it badly enough, you'll get through. Best of luck pal.

indeed, if you put the effort in it will show, no one here can express fully what the experience is like, all we can say is KEEP GOING. Once you've done it you'll fully understand when we say its whats up top. chin up and you'll be fine
See ya on the 10th lost

Yes I can! I've been there and got the T shirt. The only people who can truely tell you what it's like are those who have done it and there are quite a few on this site who have done it. Be it one year ago or thirty/forty/fifty odd years ago. Basic Commando training is still the same as it's always been. Hard, long and full of pitfalls for the unwary or overconfident.marine_wannabe wrote:indeed, if you put the effort in it will show, no one here can express fully what the experience is like, all we can say is KEEP GOING.

So go there with both eyes and both ears open to any help and suggestions given to you, be it from a bloke still wet behind the ears or owd and on his seventh five in the Corps.

when i failed my prmc i failed not due to fitness, but though mental attitude, i relised now looking back, i thought on the 3 miler i couldnt do any more and the pain in the leg was horrid so i slowed down and thus failed time.
what i learned from that is now when i do runs i have the power to push further and harder than before and finding even when i think i done the fastest i can do, i still have loads of energy left.
heres a thing my old teacher told me which i keep telling myself while i prepare for my second PRMC.
"the human body is an amazing resilient machine, and its a fact of science that even when the body feels that you cannot go anymore you can by FACT go an extra 10% more"
this 10% is the last of the last reserve banks, so when you think you have nothin left, you probaly still got 50% left in the tank...and thats not goign into the reserve banks.
