hi guys. I was wondering, for those you who made it pass PRMC or POC but left training later, what was it that caused you to drop out - injury, failing a test...?
I'm curious to see what the common hurdles might be that cause people to stumble.

Does it lose signal often? I talked with a guy yesterday about buying one and questions were raised about its use in cloudy conditions. Under what conditions have you used it? Here in Tucson it would be fine, but in England it might be worthless. I found another option which fits on the shoe and mea...

Eye Test
Alright, in about one hour I'll be having an eye test to determine suitability for entry. I wear glasses and though I was borderline Standard I when 16, I've grown worse, I hope not too much worse to make Standard III for the RM. So, if you pray, pray. If not, then pray any way... or do something el...

Training Gadgets
Seeing as the Bleep Test will feature I took a look around and found the CD available online. Very few people here in the USA have heard of the test, so I thought I'd drag a few of my friends in when I get the CD. I plan on incorporating it into my training. Last time I did it at college I remember ...

Fair enough Beaky - but how many RM's do then go for career? I don't think I'm underestimating the challenge, or taking it lightly. I'm not viewing it as a stepping stone but as a challenge and an accomplishment in itself. I do though intend to do other things in my life also. As an officer I'll hav...

Officer or NCO?
Following on from my intial interviews a number of years ago I've always assumed that if I made the attempt to join the RM I'd do it as an Officer. I have the brains for it, and of course there's the extra challenge physically. However, I've recently been wondering if it wouldn't be a better choice ...

1 Assault Gp/Fleet Protection
I've been looking around at the various options for service and considering what I might fancy doing. At first I was thinking 539 Asslt Sqd. because I've always loved the water and so the chance to at once be a Royal Marine and learn to sail and command boats is appealling. As I looked around the we...

Terms of Service
Just curious since the RM/RN website doesn't seem to offer much info on this one. The minimum return of service is apparently 3 years, when I made inquiries a number of years ago you signed up for one of I think three options - short term, medium term, or full career. I believe it has changed since ...
