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.

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

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.

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.

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'

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

The bleep test only affected my press ups.
You get enough time for your heart rate to settle abit after the VO2 max test

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.
