Alright will,

Type RMAD into the search for keywords and then select the Royal Marines - GD,J&T forum, there's a couple of diary's and some really good info on the aquaint day. Should get you fired up and ready to hit it.

All the best and good luck with it.

Mate of mine got sent on an RMAD. Think it was because the AFCO didn't think he'd done his research well enough... :lol:

Its compulsary in Birmingham, they wont let you down to do a PRMC unless you've done a RMAD. Il be doing an RMAD aswell. I think its a really good idea to see where your at with fitness etc. Also better to fail an RMAD and wait one month for the next one rather than fail a PRMC and have to wait 6 months.

(well not better to fail, but you know what i mean) 8)

I was wrong i think, its not compulsary eagleeye but the way he was telling me the application process worked it sounded like it. Also its not a pass or fail, its for them to see where you are with fitness and they could say come back next month or they can say give it 6 months and get much fitter. Anyway im doing the RMAD on this day aswel will. See you there mate.

all the best
