PRMC quick question

[jarhead]

Got my PRMC in 2 days, just wanted to check on a few things:

Firstly is it true you not allowed to have gel in your hair during course? Or this just a silly rumour, (I'm not being vain, I just usually have a little to keep myself smart ect. nothing over the top.)

Secondly, what time do you usually go down to breakfast, then what time do you begin the 3 miler? Since I'm not sure whether to have hot meal or just lots of wheatabix.

Hopefuly I'll pass this, just want to get 3 miler out of way then the rest, I've just got to hang in there, and give it all.

I'lll try and write when I return.

Cheers

I remember on my course, there was one bloke who had the mick taken out of him, and that was just by people on the course. I don't think gel is needed mate. You shower too often and you never have time to look to smart.

I can't remember the food. I think it was between 7-9 I cant remember. and I think it was before 3 miler!

I do remember that the food was really good, and there was farkin loads of it!

Breakfast is around 6ish and the run was done around half 7-8 so don't have to much!!

Cereal will do fine, Just make sure your hydrated and you'll be fine

P.s Don't wear gel it will only get in your eyes and if you fidget you get it hard!! LITERALLY! so its not worth it mate

Good Luck

I wouldnt worry about the gel mate, I dont think they give to shits what your hair will look like and neither will the other recruits. Maybe if you realy want to you can throw some in for the interview if it'll make you feel more confident.

Personally I dont use gel at all and intend to have a nice short hair cut by the time I head down.

And if you have facial hair, have a shave, as you'll be told to when you get there.

Why would you want GEL in your hair then? The mind boggles it really does! I can assure you that no bints are going to be there watching you getting beasted by the PTI's on the bottom field. Honest!

As for Scran (food) eat as much as you feel happy about eating. I used to pig out if I knew I was going to have to work me bollocks off. The joy of the Royal Marines during and after training is that you help yourself to as much Scran as you want, unlike the Army where they place it on your plate.

I once caused a major upset at this Royal Signals training place in Catterick (8th signal regt I think it was called) when this ere Pongo Cook gave me one slice of bacon, one slice of fried bread, one sausage, one small spoonfull of baked beans and one fried egg. The Royal Signal recruit before me had twice as much placed on his plate (the twats were trying it on as Perce normally does with Royal).

I looked at this Flub (fat lazy useless bastard) Lance Cpl, ACC, smirking behind the counter and thought to myself "Feck you Perce!" and reached over with me fork and proceeded to help myself to what I wanted. Cue a major problem between the Royal Marines (there were 9 of us, I was first in the queue) and the Army Catering Corp..........next day we ate what we wanted.

In six words: Don't mess with the Royal Marines.

Nice to know^^, and very true.

I think I'll stick to a simple meal.

When I went on my PRMC they said no gel didnt give a reason because they dont need to but its obv anyway.
As for scran you have your food then come back and clean accom and heads so plenty of time to digest a full english as i was also worried about running on a full stomach but i had really nice full eng both mornings and I can say it had no effect on me.

Artist I think the canteen has been taken over by some other company and you are now limited on what you can have all the nods were complaining and had some sort of petition/suggestion box to change it back I think, thats what I could gather anyway.

Cheers for the update Tom.

Know what I'd do right away, just what I did at Catterick! Nods need to shove as much scran down their throats as they want in order to hack Cdo training.

Civvies behind the scran counter telling us what we could have would have got short thrift from us buggers when we were in training thats for damn sure! There would have been a riot if some bloody civvy said "You've had enough! Off you go" to any Nod in my day.

As it is I'm down at CTCRM on the 25th for a Kings Squad passout. I may just pay the galley a visit and create havoc as an OWD GIT with views. Should be fun if nought else hey?
