Hi
I have my interview tomorrow morning and i can't seem to find out where or what 40 Commando RM are and what they are up to. I know about 42 & 45 Commando RM, i'm just struggling with 40. I have looked on the the website but there is no current information so i was hoping somebody here would be able to let me know.
Thanks.

Thats strange that you can't find it.
40 Commando Royal Marines, based at Norton Manor Camp in Taunton, Somerset.

Wikipedia is fantastic for all things Royal Marines, though some parts are a little out of date.

sorry i think i should have been a bit clearer i know where they are based i meant are they on a training exercise or have they been deployed like 45 Commando who are in Afghanistan and i think 42 Cdo are in training also ready to be sent over. Thanks for for reply

Ahhh ok, this kind of thing is difficult to find online.
Do you have the July/Aug 2006 Issue of the Globe and Laurel? If yes, you will find it in there (first page I think)
Other than that theres no other decent resources.

Yep, G&L is the best resource for all current deployments. It's all displayed on one of the pages.

They never asked me what the coys were doing when I went for my interview.

This is probably POC, not PRMC.

It is for my PRMC, after my recruitment test my careers officer told me the things he would be asking me in the interview and one of them was what the corps are up to and why. He also said he would be asking about vehicle's and weapons they use as well as the history and what happens during training. Is there anything else anybody else has been asked during the interview?.

The last Royal to die in combat. As far as I know it was Joseph David Windall in the Nimrod crash recently.

I passed thanks, and the only things he asked me were about training and describe the badge to him.
So now i have my medical and hopefully PJFT next thursday and then he said i could have a PRMC by the end of November if all goes well.
