A quick way into the Royal Marines?

Post by milestone »

Hi there I was speaking to an ex-marine the other day, he's been in the marines for quite some time, I think about 10 years, he was telling me about a quick way in. The guy is about 21 years old I think, quite a lot of experience for a young bloke but he knows his stuff about marines.

What you do is show them a powerball score above 12,000 and they let you in, simple as that. No PRMC, no recruit training, just straight into action.

You can purchase the things from www.powerballs.com

Thought I would let you know about this one!

You cannot be serious.
Before you insult someone, first walk a mile in their shoes, that way when you insult them, you are a mile away and you have their shoes.

Mods you should delete his posts.
Just Lie back and think of England.

Made me laugh, but seriously, those powerball things actually look quite fun.

I got a tennis ball painted black called turbo ball. I'm selling it for £25.99. You squeeze it. Why??? I have no idea.

Am I the only one who finds this guy quite funny?

He posted another thread (maybe in SF General, not sure), made I larf.

And those powerballs are pretty good for your forearms, which are generally quite hard to exercise properly (except on ops, which gives plenty of time for left and right handed experimentation)... :roll:

I got one of those powerballs for crimbo. Quite clever way to get your forearms pumped.

But about his post, cant believe you've all took the bait :P
