How much are you wanting to lose mate? I have always been a bit of a lanky git so can't really help you much. However, when I notice I am getting a bit of a beer belly running really does the trick. Whether it's on the road or at the gym on a treadmill, just take it easy to begin with.

Hi mate,
if you're worried about the cost of Uni then don't be. Nowadays anyone can afford to go. Normally the amount of loan you get is income assessed based on your parents/guardians earnings. Obviously the more they earn, the less you get.

Good evening guys, hope you are all well. I have done a search and looked on the Royal Marines website and have been unable to find my answer. I need to ring the AFCO on Tuesday anyway but for the time being does anyone know if injured YO's in training can be sent to Hunter Company?

Thanks for that mate

Thats great, thank you for that. Can I just ask, are you a graduate?
Best of luck with your selection mate.
Cheers, Steve

Hey guys, just wondering what life would be like after training?
I know its hard to say depending on where about in the world you are etc but any information would be great.

Regards, Steve

Thanks alot for that, cleared a few things up for me.
I'll try to help you guys as much as i can as i progress.

Hi there, I'm Steve. I'm 21 years old and currently doing a degree at Uni.
When I was younger my dream was to be a Royal Marine Officer. I was planning on direct entry after 6th form when I was 18 but suffered a sporting injury which put me out of training.
I had my date for POC which I then had ...
