PRMDC.......

Post by Macca »

I was just Wandering if there is anyone who has any information on the Potential Royal Marines Development Course as it would be nice to knoiw bit more about it, any info such as what sort of PT you will be doing how often and how tough. Or even better anyone who has been on it and experianced it themselves and would like to share with me what happened. I know that you only go on this course if you onli just fail PRMC but would like more of an insight if posible fellas. Any info would be much appreciated.

cheers

I was told that the PRMDC has been stopped. Might not be true.

This is true I was on the same PRMC as Pvt Doughnut, (I was Orange 2) however I believe that was the last lot of PRMDC'ers.
I heard this was due to the fact that when they actually start RT from PRMDC they have already had 3 weeks of Ironing/Husbandry and stuff like that and other recruits thought this was unfair ???

But to be fair you shouldn't even be worrying about this just train as hard as you can, prepare right and let the rest take care of itself.

You can do it, just remember its mind over matter. (Especially on bottom field :D :D )

Its sort of disappointing that they stopped it, because if people are just boarderline fail but only needed 2-3 weeks to be able to pass. Even if they can iron better lol.
Before you insult someone, first walk a mile in their shoes, that way when you insult them, you are a mile away and you have their shoes.

I was told my the PTI's at my RMAD that came up from CTC that PRMDC was a load of bollocks because all the guys they put through it were dropping out of RT.
Just Lie back and think of England.

Was using the search button to answer a question but the last post is over 3 years old so checking to see if anything has changed regarding this course? It is still quoted on the official RM recruiting pages so curious to find out if it still exists?

P.S
I appreciate that you should always aim to get through properly first time, but I personally think that it would be a good course for some people (but perhaps not for others)

EDIT: I was sure it said Feb 2004 when I posted this, my mistake! its only a couple of months old! :oops:

I'm almost certain it's been stopped mate, according to some lads on my PRMC at the end of may.
