Cracking story mate, although I'm of the disposition that I would have chinned you regardless of the fact that we both shared a common interest!

Let us know if his granddaughter is tasty!

And as for Brian- I suppose you've never done anything bad in your life have you?

Cheer up, you miserable sod.

You ever worn a football top? He's not going about with a green beret on is he, he's wearing a t-shirt representing something he aspires to be.


Theres a difference

i Hate football lol

Im not trying to seem all big and clever. It was just a T-shirt with the www.yomp30.co.uk on the front and royal marine commando on the back. I didnt purposly wear that 1 to look the first T-shirt i saw.

Yeah there is a difference, no one's going to think you're a Premiership Footballer are they.

Dam You guys are f@#k good at arguing. I really dont no why i put it on. My dad just gives them to me what am i surpost to do with them

"Dad i dont want these thanks i mite give the wrong impression thinking im a royal when im not"

Its a T-shirt !!!

Some people get a bee in their bonnet over anything, even something that they have no business judging.

I was given an RM t-shirt after passing POC. The other day after going to the gym I was mistaken for Royal by a guy from 1 Lancs.

However I wasn't selected for the batch so I'm still in the process of applying to join.

Should I be allowed to wear this t-shirt? Alfa - I'd be really gratefull if you could put your stamp of approval on this matter for me.

Thanks in advance,

Finally someone who backs me up ..pheww....thought i was the only one

In my opinion no.

Maybe the Marines view these things differently than the Paras but when I was at Catterick we were always told that no ones a Paratrooper until they pass P Company and get their wings and if any Joe decided to walk round wearing a Para T-shirt I doubt anyone would have been happy to say the least.

At the end of the day it's just my opinion but I wouldn't wear something like that, because as you already stated, I would be mistaken for being something I'm not.

Difference being whether your just a bloke wearing a t-shirt or your a walt giving it charlie big-time in your Para Sky God t-shirt.

I also bought my dad a t-shirt that says 'ARMY be the best' with the A and Y crossed out.

Maybe I should tell him to stop wearing it as he hasn't ever done All Arms...

Personally i think you can wear what you want. If you are doing some phys to get fit to join the RM while wearing it, whats the problem? i could see some people getting pissed off if the shirt said "royal marines commando" as that would imply you have got your green lid, but a t shirt that just says "royal marines" doesnt really say anything does it?

just my opinion.

http://www.royalmarinesgiftshop.co.uk/ At the end of the day lads would they sell them if the marines felt it inapropriate for people to wear them? Personally I wouldn't go out and buy one, however if I got one when on POC/PRMC, or as in this case a family member gave me one, I certainly would wear it. Its not buying a green beret on ebay and running around screaming ''I'm a f@#k hard nut commando'' it saying ''my dads a commando and I'm f@#k proud of him'', in my opinion thats a big difference. My dad used to bring shirts back from his work with their logo on, and I'ld wear it and no one would tell me I didn't have the right, I don't see this as any different.

Know I don't think people should go around pretending to be or implying they're something they're not. But wearing a POC/PRMC t-shirt when you have actually done a POC/PRMC is not claiming to have done something you haven't. Wearing t-shirts your dad brings back doesn't claim your a commando, your not pretending, your just claiming your dads a commando, which he is in this case.

And final point, his dad is a Royal, he has been there, he has done that, and he feels it appropriate for his son to wear t-shirts he gives him. Who are you to disagree???

Cheers mate.
