10 Tips From Royal Marines Commando For Military Basic Training 

I know its a huge difference but using these to help prep for the army. Your channel is great.

Leaving for the new 36 week basic training regime start of July and of all the videos I’ve watched this is one of the most useful, sound mate 👍

Cant join the marines as they binned me off for having bad acne on my back, but I'm in the process of joining the paras at the moment which wasnt my first choice but it's still a solid corps. I failed my first attempt at prac 2 months ago and I cannot agree any more on the sprinting point. I'm fine with long distance and I enjoy going for 8 mile runs etc but I pretty much completely neglected sprinting and I paid for it badly. The first day of prac is a 4 mile run which has 5-10 minute sprint sessions every mile or so and they really made my life hell. I was so sore by the second day and failed to get my 2km run time which I'd already passed at the assessment centre to get on to prac. And on the third day we got a bollocking for being late to water parade, which resulted in a 15 minute sprint session up a gnarly hill as a warm up for our warm up lap of the steeple chase. Again I ended up failing this moslty due to the fact that the sprints were trashing my legs because I hadn't trained for them. Anyone joining the paras or the marines. Find the biggest fucking hill in your county. Sprint up it until you cannot stand and repeat. It will pay off, trust me.

Great video keep good work

Lovely

Hey I don’t know if you’ll see this but I’m just wondering how do small lads get on? I’m 5,5 and worried it’ll bring me down. I’m also to light in 56kg maybe less even and training while eating a lot is quiet difficult.

Great video, before going to training would you say starting to run with weight is a good/bad idea?

Hi Sam id really appreciate a reply. I’m at the stage of my pjft for the Royal Marines. I am full prepared on the running aspect and the pull ups. I am heavily struggling with the press ups and sit ups as I can just about reach the minimum requirements. Anything back would be great!

Do shin splints flare up on some recruits during training? If so how to deal with them?

Can international people join the royal marines

How injuries are deal in RT any adive late

I know this is focused towards Royal Marines training - but it's fantastic advice for any civilian who is trying to improve themselves physically and mentally (and maybe training a martial art - which seems to be the closest thing a civilian has to military training). From what I've seen in the business world - there are a lot of things that seem to come from the military world (and maybe vice versa) so it's worth paying attention to the people who help protect our freedoms. Maybe it's because of the amphibious element but I've always seen the Royal Marines as a great standard to benchmark against. Thanks for the upload 🙏🏼

Keep your gob shut and your ears open always helps
