Well, which does he want to do? Engineering or Infantry? Does he want to mess about with JCBs or mess about with mortars?

2 different animals.

The RM route means he will become an RM first then if he wants specialise as an Assault Engineer in then Corps.

Commando Engineer is a Royal Engineer first who once qualified will then need to get a place on the All arms Commando course and if successful will then join 24 Cdo Regt RE.

I'd suggest he goes to the RM and Army websites and has a look to see just what he wants to do. Good Luck.
