Hey guys. This is my first post. I’m new to this forum. I was just wondering about the entry requirements for officers in the Royal Marines. I have found plenty of stuff relating to the usual marine entry requirements but I have multiple people telling me officers have a harder task i.e. have farther distances to run etc.. I was wondering if anyone knew these requirements or if I’m being led on? I did enquire on the website but as I said I got the normal marine requirements but it said for officer I had to visit a recruiting office to find them out.

Cheers.

Hi mate, have you put an extra a in your screen name without realising
Bit of a piss take to come on a mil forum with Sgt in your name, nothing against the ATC, replies on a postcard etc.

o ryte, sorry i didnt really look at any fourms before registering so i just assumed sorta name people would have. replys on a postcard? what does that mean?

iv looked at my profile and cant sus out how to change my user name? is there an option to? can i erase my account and start all over again with the same email address?

Officers run the same distance and yomp the same distance... they just have less time to do it in!

any ideas on the time limits then?

cheers

Fraid not, about a minute off the 3 miler from what I remember

okies. i read on the RM careers site that the running stage was a 1.5miles best effort but had to be completed in under 11 min regardles. beofre i had read this i had always thought this was the army test and the RM was much longer. so its a 3miler. better get my jog on.

thanks again.

Have alook here for starters.

When you've done that have a trawl through the military fitness and training forum, plenty there.

I know that the thirty miler has to be done in 7 hrs rather then 8 for officers..

your joking! thirty miles! i never even heard of that! 4.28miles an hour. well i can do 2.4km in just over 10min. but that really does me in so thats nothing to go by, god knows what i will be like over 7 hours! your not having me on are you?

cheers

Thats after a good 27-28 weeks training mind.

So long as your as strong in mind, you will pass. (at least I hope )
