just say to thanks to every one on here, got some great advice from what people have answered from my posts and others. Im off tomorrow (monday 14th) to start my 32 weeks at butlins :lol: :roll: . Will update with how im getting on in easter leave no doubt. 8) Hope to see others on here there ...

hey mate, how many people have pulled out of training in your troop so far, and how many have back trooped or been pulled out becuase of an injury?

on a side not i wondered if any one could give me some advice. Im a bit worried as my foot is playing up at the minute, and its a bit uncomfortable to ...

sorry to jump on the thread, but what exactly happens in hunter company. I have had a look on the navy web site and searched the forums but couldnt see anything. What i mean is do you have an instructor who puts you through personal training every day until you get better or what? im not too sure ...

obviously every one that passes the PRMC gets there combat boots to wear in for training. How many miles would you class as comfortably wearing them in. I have probably walked equivalent of 12-15 miles in mine. They seem fine now, what does every one else do?

One thing you'll realize in training DaveB is that your training team will expect you to crack on at all times which is a good thing but can also be bad, it sometimes is a case of i go to sick bay and get this sorted asap and miss 3 days worth of phys (which may piss the team off) or i carry on and ...

sorry to hear that dave, that must really be a kick in the teeth for you. I know how disapointing it can be for you as i had to face this problem in january so close to my previous date. For something like your hip mate i wouldnt bother, yes the first 2 weeks are going to be tough, and it wont ...

are they return warrants or one way only?

lol sorry double post, wondered where my post went, didnt realise there was a page 2. Will phone up the careers office on Monday and tell them whats what. yea 2 weeks is a tad better, will get foundation done then atleast.

Once your in the Royal Marines starting training and so on, how many travel warrants are you issued for the year? I was told you where given 4 return warrants a year? is that right?

can you double check that is the actual leaving date for easter? as i dont want to phone up my AFCO to prove them wrong, and then feeling like a tit :oops: :roll:. But yeah i thought when i was told it was a bit silly, why would they get you ready in foundation for only 5 days, send you home for 2 ...

Tell your AFCO to check their dates, if they're right I'm doing Final Ex during my time off! Easter leave is definitely 25th March - 10th April. Have fun down here...you won't want to come back after two weeks off having only just done Foundation, but it does get better...slowly!

So i take your ...

well i have checked with the AFCO and they say its definatly 18th March.

ahh good so there are a few people on here going the same time as me. Im from the Preston branch AFCO, I wasnt actually given a time to go down to lympstone like the PRMC, but i am just going the same time as i did on the PRMC, which is 10:00am from Lancaster, get there about 3:15pm. What time you ...

as mentioned above really. Swimming will be your best bet to ensure you dont slack behind while your getting better.

when i went to the careers office for the first time to apply for the royal marines i also looked into doing the YOC. I was told i wouldnt really have a chance as of my age and qualifications, i was told the best oppurtunity for doing that would be around 21-22 years of age, and have a uni degree or ...
