I haven't started training yet (I know but I have my reasons - there is no PRMC date yet either) but that schedule looks awesome. I'm going to try and fit that in my life. Awesome stuff.

[GGHT]

Well done mate great scores there.

[letsrole]

41 attended PRMC and i think 12 failed

Around 29 passed (70% pass) . Some who failed got the PRMC/DC

jeebus, what happend to 99.99% need not apply

[Dave_n]

well over 33,000 apply each year and only 1500 get to recruit training...

[Peds]

Has anyone seen the new TV adverts they have released?

I don't agree with them one bit... it shows that potential intake numbers are falling so they have to actively advertise for it. Somewhere along the line there is a definite possibility of pass standards falling.

[dalo]

I think that would be an absoulute last resort, i mean the commando tests is a tradition. I think they will just stick to advertising more and spreading awareness to the right type of people.

[robouk]

have to agree about the advertisements, hearing them a lot recently.

tonight I heard on the radio:

'*the sound of the ocean* (and then 10 seconds later) this is the sound of a royal marine commando's observation post, if you got bored dont visit royalnavy.mod.uk'

[dalo]

so dave what were your scores like before the PRMC ie press ups etc, does the bleep test affect them much.

[Dave_n]

The bleep test only affected my press ups.

You get enough time for your heart rate to settle abit after the VO2 max test

[the_trainee]

dave did u have to fit your training around work / education commitments ?

[Dave_n]

I just got my recruit training date lads. And to be hoenst I am really dissopointed with it.

5th December. So anyone about to take PRMC dont expect to start training untill January at the earliest. I'm actually really f@#k off, but thats just how it is.
