The dropout rate is VERY high as far as know, something in the reigon of 70% or so.

p.s. There's some good reading material you should try and get.

Suggested reading material :

ALL the leaflets your AFCO can provide.
'The Royal Marines - Major Julian Thompson'
'The Making of a Royal Marine Commando - Nigel Foster'

Look here > http://www.militaryforums.co.uk/books_rm.php
Or you can just hire the books from your local library.

p.p.s. whoever updates that part of the site : the link to amazon for the second book is wrong, it links to the wrong book.

Yeah its about 70%, people who have taken the course reckon that out of a room of 15 about 8 dont make the grade or give up.
