What made you go into the marines
Is/was there any specific reason for joining the marines? Why wouldnt you choose the British army route than the Royal Marines route?

Royal Marines=lean mean killing machines??
Three guys, one Navy, one Army and one Royal Marine are taking the test to join the SAS. They have all passed the mental and physical sectinos and are down to the final interview.
Guy from the Navy walks in to be confronted by the SAS Head Shed who gives him a gun and says, "There are 6 bullets in that, your wife is upstairs, go up and kill her".
The guy disappears but comes back 2 minutes later to say,
"Sorry I really want to be in the SAS but she's my wife and I love her"
"Sorry" says Head Shed,"But if you can't take orders, we don't want you"
Guy from Army walks in and the same thing happens, he gets the gun and is told to go upstairs and kill his wife, but also can't do it, so is told to thin out.
The Marine walks in and is given the gun. Off he goes and suddenly 6 shots ring out from upstairs, followed by an almighty commotion, and 10 minutes later he walks back into the room drenched in sweat.
He looks at the Head Shed and chucks the gun at him saying, "You b******, they were blanks, I had to strangle the b**ch!!!"

The Valiant Comic. Capt Hurricane (he of the "Raging Furies") and Maggot Malone. Long gone now but it was what first got me interested in the Corp.
Then me Pop telling me they were the best as far as he was concerned. Pop was an RAF PTI so he wasnt biased. He just knew what Royal was made of having been a Parachute Instructor at RAF Abingdon. And also a Jungle Warfare Instructor in Singers. Pop was also attached to the Malayan Scouts during the Troubles in the early fifties and despite being a Crabfat was a pretty good Soldier so I found out later from Guys who had known him back then.
He reckoned Royal had that little bit extra in his makeup that the other Branches of the Armed Forces seemed to lack. So like a good dutiful son I took his advice and joined.
