Back from Basic

Post by Benw »

Hello all. I started basic on 25th May and left 6 weeks later due to family issues. Royal Marines training is great and I am gutted to have left but unfortunately it is not the life of a family man. If you want to ask any questions about life in training just post away and I will do my best to answer them.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... 'F*ck, what a trip!'

Start Basic 24th May

Hi Ben

I'm sorry to hear that you left. As someone who also opted at week 6 as well, I know what you must be feeling. However I'm sure you made the right choice,as it must have been very difficult having to be away from your missus and kid.

The very best of luck in whatever route you go down mate.

You got to admit though; even though it was only 6 weeks, it was an experience you'll never regret and be better of for it.

All the best

Jack.
