im in the same position as you mate, i can either go down late July or early september. its always tempting to build your fitness up with that extra month.

what fittness level are you at? (if you dont mind me asking)

Try asking your question in the Queens English and you may get some answers!

In the Queens English,

Should one attempt the PRMC (Petential Royal Marine Course) late July or early September if one is not one hundred percent confident in one's physical ability to perform to a successful standard at the PRMC?

No, you would have to buy me a wet!

I ain't some Wannerbie Dickhead. I'm just what I am. A guy who has been there and done it. And Textspeak is not welcome on this Website.

So wind your neck in and you will get advice from people like me and the other guys who have done it. Take the Piss and you will be ignored.

ENDEX!

Argh, I was only joking Artist sorry. i'll just wind back into my box now and calm down.

The guy at my AFCO office told me he'd get me booked in for a late July PRMC. but i won't find out till i get back to the uk on 1st of July if i've got a choice of dates or if he's just booked me in for a set date, or if he's booked me in at all?

I probably will go for the July PRMC.

Do the PRMC, 32 weeks at CTCRM, earn the Green Lid and I'll buy you a wet. Nay Wukking Furries!

I have a very low threshold with Eeijuts at this time. Some people seem to think that cracking the PRMC is the be all and end all. Not even near. That time at CTCRM is what makes a Royal Marine Commando a Royal Marine Commando.

And press ups are the least of your worries!

Sorry about the text language, not acceptable obviously, didn't realise it was a big deal, didn't mean to disrespect anyone or the site lads.

I would like to try hard at my next 5/6 weeks of training and try to get the late july prmc if possible, i hate waitin and would love to get it over and done with, i look at it as the make or break moment of making marine and would rather not go through the prmc a 2nd time, knowin how hard it is, ill have to speak to my careers advisor and see what he thinks and if he agrees, him and all of you will know much better than me due to experience and if its wise to slightly rush or be sensible, whats the worst that could happen? Well i understand injuries could be around the corner if i do something stupid, any possible advice would definate my choice and help a great deal. sos again and cheers if u you can help.

On bleep tests i can reach mid 12's, how about you slaphead_17?
3 miler i'm struggling a bit but hopefully with lots of adrenaline in me i'll manage to pick up a minute or maybe two, correct me if im wrong and if anything my time would get slower on prmc for what ever reason, i dont mind being told straight up if im wrong, only 16, ive got alot to learn from the marines and life in general. On a good day its about 21/22 mins but sumtimes usually by the end of the week when ive been at work and had a week of training im struggling to keep that time, maybe slipping to 23 minutes. For that alone should i wait until september?

also has anyone done a practice prmc? my careers advisor asked me about it and if i was interested, does anyone know how close it is to the real thing?

thanks again everyone.

Doesn't seem like you have any real reason to rush at all. Wait until September, be fully prepared, and as a bonus you might learn patience and self-control! Both of which will be much needed at CTCRM I would guess.

[lil-j '88]

thanks sarastro, ill try n get a practice prmc and will probably see that septemeber is a wiser choice, im dead happy about getting this far without any problems. so if possible i dont want to muck up my prmc and be waiting around for 6 months because i failed!

Hello pal yes i think you mean the acquaint day, i did one and i would highly reccomend it. Id say from what i rerember about it you do most of the stuff they do on the prmc just not straight after one another

[slaphead_17]

errrrr?????

my fitness levels are things like 3 mile 20.45 mins, bleep test (last time i did it at college about 2months ago) level 16.3, PJFT 8.22, 80 sit-ups, (finally got my pull-upss to 9 after being stuck on 8 for month's)
i won't metion my press-ups for Artists health.
I need to work on that 3 mile time more though because ive not really been improving on it for a while.
