Hey All,
I did one of these last year I think. You dont have to do one of these before PRMC. They are just for civvies to have a look at what the Royal Marines do. I did NO phys whatsoever on mine! We just had a laugh all day. Paintballing, Climbing, Abseiling, Rides in rigid raiders. Really good day.
Although it could be a different type of day. Im sure mine was a 'Meet the Marines' day!
If it is a 'replica' prmc day 1 then thats all good aswell. You know what to expect then.
Dave.

I went down to the AFCO today and got an application form. The sailor told me that the next acquaint day was on the 6th July and if I pass the tests and medical he will send me to the RMR to do it. If I am fit enough he will get me on a date for PRMC ASAP, but if I need to work on something he will put me on a later PRMC and another acquaint day.
He told me that his office done this with everyone because he doesn’t want to send someone down to do the PRMC unless he knows they are up to the required standard (it makes the office look good).
Anyway, the tests:
You do your maximum amount of push-ups and sit-ups in 2 mins (I cant remember him saying anything about pull-ups). Then you do the Bleep test, so basically gym test 1 of PRMC.
Then you go for a run down on the field (I’m pretty sure its 3 miles in 22 minutes).
I wasn’t expecting to get a date that’s so soon So I’m going to be working my arse of for the next month to get myself fitter. Hopefully I’ll be going down to Lympstone in a couple of months and coming back with a pair of boots
Regards Darryn Ednie, Anymore questions ask before I forget

The RMAD is different to the meet the marines.
The RMAD is a day when people who are in the process of joining the marines can go down (normally nearest reserve place). Like people said you do the same tests as day one Prmc. It gives you and the afco scores that you can look at what needs improving and how long before doing prmc. Its not a pass or fail as such but if you do get crap scores you wont be put on c@#t you have trained more.
