Does anyone know where abouts HMS Cornwall is at the minute and what it's upto?

Yes basically if your not on operations or exercise it's quite a relaxed lifestyle. You wont usually parade until 9 a.m and then do abit of sport until lunch usually. You then have 2 hours for lunch and then get dismissed or do abit of military training in the afternoon. You will certainly be ...

Yer life after RT is a lot more relaxed and fun. No gettin up at 5 in the morning and silly things like that for locker inspections, etc. You'll still have rounds every so often just to make sure your looking after the place and that the buildings safe really. At Lympstone your just another Nod ...

Yes upto about week 8 it's pretty crap because you've got to be back on camp by 8 i think it is if you get any shore leave. But once you get that weekend pass and get into phase 2 you get most weekends off so you'll be going out on a few good troop piss ups. I think if you asked most bootnecks their ...

Well at the end of the day all i can say is yes some troops do get it easier than others in training, but everyones still got to pass all the tests to the required standards. Believe me i don't think the commando tests can become easy

Cheers for the replies guys,

I was just curious about the matter because of my mate who started marine training and wore his wings from the start, and i read somewhere that you could wear your commando dagger with any other unit but was unsure if this was just the case if you transfered. Yer i'd ...

Yes of course you get parachute trained marines, not that many though. But he was an ex para i was in training with.

Hi all, I've recently left the marines and after discovering how s**t civvy street actually is, instead of re-enlisting in the marines i've decided to apply for the paras as jumping out of planes has always appealed to me and i want a new challenge. It's still early stages but i was wondering if ...

Nope i start foundation tomorrow mate.

All the best in training, and i'll be seeing you soon

When i wanted to stop smoking to train for my PRMC i just thought to myself, what do you want to do live a long healthy life doing the job you've been dreaming of? Or carry on smoking get all yellow skin, bad breath, rotted teeth and die a young age of lung cancer?? :o

As you can guess i haven't ...

Do you know what troop that is mate? My training team are taking another troop through after us (need to stop saying us...I mean 883, who pass out on the 13th), sound team if you get them. I think it's 900 Tp, should be starting around then, 899/900/901 have been amalgamated due to ...

Good luck mate, i'll see you down there in 2 weeks!!

On my PRMC the other week, the Sgt Major was giving us a brief on specialisations, etc once you have finished training. He came onto the swimmer canoeist and started going on about all the shit, with them being put with the SAS and how they should be seperate units. He then said something about a ...

Anyone who passed this PRMC starting foundation on May 16th??
