Pass Out Rate

[Arni999]

I'm just about to do my selection course but i was wondering, what percentage of people that make it past the initial selection course actually make it to the commando course? AND what percentage of those pass the commando's course? I know that ill do it but i was just wondering out of curiosity.

Cheers
Mike

I think around 40% pass the PRMC

Not sure about the rest

Hi Arni999

I was given an old publication from the Globe & Laurel(from 2001).

It doesn't give stats on PRMC but as far as training goes:

Intake of 1,115 recruits a year (against a target of 1200).

Producing approximately 650 trained ranks .

58.5% pass rate (aim of 60%).

Thats just the training, after the percentage who pass/fail the PRMC.
It is hard but thats the idea.
Just need to do your best plus a bit more!!

I think that most of those who fail recruit training only fail because of injury or because they want to leave....well someone wrote that on here the other day..hehe

[robj]

yeah I remember reading that aswell, J.M.C.

I doubt many people fail because of their fitness as im sure the training teams know what they are doing! I suppose its just down to whether you are mentally tough enough!

[Arni999]

Sounds good to me. Im now just looking forward to the training and the kings squad pass out day! 0X

Good luck on your PRMC mate. When you going down to do it? Hows your training going?

[Arni999]

Its slightly different as its the RMR PRMC starts on the 19th of March. Training was going really well up until i screwed my ankle at the weekend skydiving. Should be fine by the time the PRMC starts though.
Are you a passed out marine already mate (robj)?

[oban3]

it is 9% from application who pass. that is statistics from CTCRM

[Arni999]

WOW! that little? Though i shouldnt really be so surprised as it is probably the hardest infantry training in the world.

[robj]

lol nah I aint mate. Not even attempted my PRMC yet

[yuri]

on the royal marine website it should say "91% need not apply"

that is if it is really 9% of those who apply pass out.

[Jordiman]

9% of everyone who applies makes it and 5% for those wishing to be officers i think, i was at my gf's and her mum showed me a troop pic of her bro at his time at ctc and out of all the troop he had black marked those that hadnt passed out and it looked like only 6 or 7 had made it, including himself of course.

IF 9 % make it then its about

10% (Everything before PRMC)
60% (PRMC)
21% (Fail Training)

I think the keyword is what is the percentage that passes out in their "original" troop. Might only be 10-15% of the original troop that might passout, but alot would have been backtrooped and such and would passout later ..i've no idea on %s though really.
