What will these guys do to uproot the islam enemies in my old country? Plus the others and S/F. I must not hope! The Royals will have to act before they are attacked.
'A Life on the Ocean Wave' is still the RM, as a whole, march past tune. 'Sarah Marais' is specifically the march past of the Royal Marine Commandos. Not all Marines are commando trained. For example, most members of the band won't be. They will do basic infantry and small arms training but not the Commando course. So the band played 'A Life on the Ocean Wave' to announce the RMs in general, then switched to 'Sarais Marais' for the RM Commandos who were marching behind them.
We were ordered to double march thru Plymouth with FSMO ,that’s including kitbags. Big packs, small packs etc for turning up drunk for a night cliff climb 😂
No they're not. Learn some actual history before you spout off. They're the 'senior naval service' a distinction which existed when our ships operated in the far east and faced competition for berths and vittals from the East India Trading Co (and others) hence a law was passed giving them priority as the senior naval service. The phrase has then been corrupted to mean they are the oldest service (which they are) but in terms of marching priority and order of precedcmence on parades there are loads of other crazy historical factors to consider.
