Week 16...

....picked up an injury last week and put into Hunter for the next 15 weeks. Joy.

A guy in my troop is just 16, he is the youngest guy on camp. He had to train hard and he is coping (just about), but I have a feeling he won't last much more than a week from now.

Incase you were wondering, I'm in 862 troop and I'm on my long weekend at the end of week3. Moved into the ...

Cheers. One more thing though....won't walking in damp boots give me athletes foot or something?

One question though...do I take the soles out of the boots before i fill them with boiling water?

Cheers guys, I'll definetly give that a go sticky.

Hi, I've got a couple of questions about boots (I've used the search feature but couldn't find any answers).

Firstly, when they gave me my boots at the end of PRMC, they showed us how to lace them. I'm 90% sure I've laced them right, but there seems to be a big gap in the lacing halfway down, is ...

From my PRMC, 16 of us out of 40 passed which I gather is about average?

Anyway, I start Basic on the 29th of September (1 week, argh), anyone else starting at the same time?

I do 2 sets of everything and squeeze out as many as I can manage for each set. Any ...

Thanks guys, can't wait to start basic on the 29th. Out of interest, anyone else here starting at the same time?

Also, this is probley a good time to mention all the help and tips I've found in this forum. Just a big thanks to all the people who posted those, now I'm more prepared than I ever ...

The guide posted on the Marine forums was pretty much spot on. If you go into PRMC thinking it's gonna be the tougest thing you've ever done, there's not much more you can do to prepare yourself mentally.

As for training, I suggest you get in a few 4 mile runs a week if you can. I was only doing 3 ...

Someone told me about these forums today, first I had heard about them so thought I'd take a look- found it very interesting :)

I passed PRMC (Royal Marines) a couple of weeks ago, which means I will start training in just over 6 weeks. If anyone has got any tips or info, it would be much ...
