Commando unit question

Post by marine101 »

if, like me, you pass out of training aged 17 can you still go into a commando unit? 40,42,45?
got to Week 7 and left :(

I've no idea, but well in for passing your PRMC at that age mate, I would never have been mentally ready for it.

Of course you can. Once you pass out of basic training, you can be posted to either of the Commando Units.

The fact is if he does pass out, he will be 17 at the time. Tad unnecessary comment there mate. As is mine, thanks for that.
