Hello All,

Post by BritCanuck »

Greetings,
I'm a Naval reservist officer from Canada, though I was born in England and hold dual citizenship etc. Looking into joining the Royal Marines upon completion of my degree.
Anyone with similar experience, speak up, give me any pointers on what is the best way to do it.
I'll probably do more reading than writing here, we have a similar site in Canada (Even uses BBcode) www.army.ca it is supposed to be an army only website, but we navy-types like to invade.

Cheers.

Thanks again for the welcomings.

I was born in Plymouth and I moved to Canada when I was 7 years old.
So my memories of my home and life before Canada are kind of all blurred together, but still there.

Rarely get to go back and visit, work and school take up my time now, with any luck that will change soon.
Cheers.

Highest Bar Per-Capita ratio in Canada!

If there's one thing we do best here, it's pickle ourselves....Oh and I'm sure it has nothing to do with the Naval Base


Yarr matey :D
