This years most sort after Christmas Pressie :-





They do a Sailor one as well but that perminantly bent over at the waist

Tshirts are done by the lads and the team - usually after you have been in for a few weeks. They are not official but if they are green and done in good taste they are sometimes allowed as a PT rig etc

Yes there was a 666 tp - Known as the Devil troop!! Tshirt was really funny :evil: Troops are numbered all the way to 999 and then they start again (or so I'm told - cause I wasn't around when it happened last!!!) The Band Service number their troops differently. I was in 379 troop, which was the 3r...

The next new troop will be called........

911 Troop


Can wait to see the troop t-shirt !

I blame the Careers Office - they have quotas to fill and so they send people that don't even want to be there, let alone prepared

Ok, this week there was about 30 on the PRMC. Ref the warm up - you must understand that the warm up is for your benifit - its to help prevent injurys. You wouldn't want to do it cold would you? The warm up consisted of moderate running the length of the football pitch, pressups and sprints. Lasted ...

So there I was on the PRMC Three mile run this morning and TWELVE yes, 12 dropped out and got in the saftey mini bus. Two got in after 100m !! Come on guys - whose time do you think your wasting? There's or yours? I'd say both. Forget the "99% need not apply" advert, lets change it to &quo...

I must congratulate you on your choice of user-name.
Never has one been so suited.

Just to correct what must surely have been a typo FPG is not a specialist group. After passing out, and dispite all that is said by the doomy and gloomy a Marine will normally be drafted to a unit as a rifleman. These days units are classed as, 40, 42, 45, Logs AND Fleet Protection Group. It may not...

Now hows this for timing..... Spoke to some Equity / Thesbian* type person this afternoon that was in the camp and he was saying that Sky TV is doing a Bootneck type weekend very soon. Watch those listings!! Did I say that some years ago I played at Wentworth and Wembley in the same week? :wink: :wi...

Whist taking nothing from the content of the program, the best bit of The Mountain Leaders program was the drumming on the programs introduction. Best bit of drumming I've ever heard.







Oh, did I mention that it was me?

The "Commando" program to which you refer covered the All Arms Commando Course and little else. Whilst not to bad in content it did not cover recruit training at all. There was another program about 3 years ago that when aired concentrated on why recruits dont complete training and it was ...

You're not just a pretty face are you - there's abrain in there too.

'Spose thats why you weren't a Stoker!

Doc, I can't be accused of spoiling it for you because I must admit that I have not read it. I do however, belong to an organisation that the book takes a pop at. My daughter, (21) who read it started asking me all these questions about the book and its accusations. From there she told me that if sh...

Just a thought.... As we swear allegence to the Queen and the country on a bible or the religious book of your faith ( or used to in my day ), shouldn't every Royal Marine profess a belief in a Supreme Being? Oh and by the way Doc, The Da Vinci Code is a pile of crap with more lies than I've had had...
