Letsrole, Sounds like your staying positive mate, which is the best thing to do.Its a real bummer so close to it, but when you still have a chance to overcome it then, as you are doing, you can only give it all you've got. I assume you've let your det know what has happened and they no the situation...

Letsrole, How did it go with the specialist? any chance of making the selection weekend for the next intake? Guess its a few weeks away still, but how long might you be out of action for? Have you been going to holding troop det nights? Wholley, we all know you've been cyber searching for me. :o dwa...

Hello again everyone, I havent been on here for a long time due to not having the internet for the past year or so but im back in the technological world now thanks to virgin media's fairly decent TV and Broadband package. Anyway, its good to see a fair few names i still recognise and more important...

Nice one fodd, good effort and fair play to you for taking the time to write it all out for the benefit of others. This is everything you will need to know throughout your application to join the Royal Marines, however for those of you who want take things a little further i would reccomend 'The Roy...

You greedy little basteward, you've just had a 32 week holiday!!

Brows, Sorry to hear of your AIB fail but well done for giving it your best shot, at your age that in itself is something to be congratulated for especially given that you clearly gave a good account of yourself. The Corps would not waste thier time, or yours, by asking you to come back in the futur...

:o ...well this started off as a funny thread but it has seriously gone down hill since. The story was good, nice work, i think maybe though you should leave his Grandaughter alone though. Milk is one thing but his grandaughter is a whole new ball game. :lol: If he catches you trying to trap with he...

I'm just going add stinky how important it is that you find yourself a job. Apart from the obvious benefits of the money you will make, i am positive you will find that your motivation for everything will increase including to train harder. You need something to get up for in the morning, even if it...

What a typical stinky post, im not even going to bother picking any of it apart but i will say this. Stinky, you 'appear' to have wanted to join the RM or at least attempt to for a fair while. Now you say you cannot get yourself motivated to get fit enough to pass even the PRMC, and you have let you...

Dyer when he's in form and actually playing for a sustained period is awesome, shame he has so many injuries though. I thought Beckham had a very good game, certainly deserves to start, and should against Estonia.

Is that a veiled hand gesture your making at someone there Tab?
