fair call, cheers for the input

I can understand male bonding and everything but I would like to know what would happen if you are told to do an initiation and instead you said go f@#k yourself, obviously you wouldn't make any friends, im also quite a revengeful person, if someone made me do that against my will I would go up to ...

I got given my forms for my pjft last thursday, so I have to organise a date during this week for when I want to sit it. Im london though so can't exactly wander down to a local meet the marines thing

Hey Dlink, to be honest I think everyone plays up this part of the process to be really important when its actually quite hard to not past the interview stage. If I wasn't sure of an answer I just told him I didn't know, but in other areas I would try to make up for it by spouting off to much ...

just had my formal interview today as well, they didn't ask me anything about vc's or the badge, apart from asking me about my family, education, interests, why I wanted to join, the only corp related things he asked were

when did the royal marines first start
whats the motto and what does it mean ...

Did you actually run just one mile or did you do 1.5 and forget the .5?

1 Mile at 7 min per mile is over 10 minutes for the 1.5

(JUST CHECKING ITS CONFUSING ME) (EDIT: although that isn't too hard lol)

What do you mean by it will only give you advantages if your desperate??

hehe, dude I don't ...

those must be incredibly slow machines, im at absolution gyms and I can sprint the 1mile in just over 7mins and thats not at the highest setting, didn't think there would be such a difference ...

don't wanna hijack your thread but what about pain in your shoulders, I get it in my right shoulder (actually its more like the collar bone) and have done for the last 20 years, it only happens now and then but can be quite sore??

got my PJFT on 14 Nov, quite confident it will all go well

28th October 1664

2. What is the motto of the Royal Marines?

Hi, cheers for the advice

Yeah I thought it was strange too, I only arrived in london 2 months ago from nz so wasn't even sure if I was eligible, but apparently I am and he was all keen to get me down and signed up for a course. He didn't want to hear it when I said i've got 1 and half months left ...

Hey all

Just wondering if anyone living in london is thinking about doing the PRMC, it would be great to have a training partner.

I haven't signed up yet, when I rang up the recruitment officer the other day and told him I wanted to do it in 2 months he didn't want to hear it, he just said I need ...
