im from Afghanistan and i was interpreter with royal marines soldier. they were great guys and the most strongest tropes i have ever met i hope one day war over in worldwide too many good people have been died .
As former PJ i had the honor of serving along side some Royal Marines. They are amazing professionals. I will always have the deepest respect for them and the Brits. We Yanks couldn't ask for a better ally. I get sick of civilians engaging in the ubiquitous and childish debates. SEALS vs. SAS ect. that debate is inherently disrespectful on both sides.
Not sure what the Seals to you is but the SAS is quite possibly the best of the best in the UK as oppose to my opinion due to the hardest training + being sent to the greatest of operations
I am an American and I am proud of our armed services as well as the UK's armed services, I have always been a fan of the Australian SAS, Spetznaz and the Royal Marines. Let's not argue which is better......any man or woman who is willing to put their life on the frontline is a hero. All armed services are awesome and deserve respect.
Jack Houghton A video using youtube comments as evidence that concludes that he was at some point in the service but is not at leisure to reveal the actual dates due to OPSEC. Boy you're gullible.
USMarineRifleman0311 Your going that far back you joker and you claim a US victory for world war 1 and 2 i think you may have watched too much Hollywood propaganda. Plus most of the list contains battles not wars. It makes sense that Great Britain has lost a lot of battles since it used 2 run the world.
I give him credit for realizing it wasn't for him without dragging the unit down or becoming a liability in the field. Some folks have another calling from elite military service and the sooner they know the smarter.
You have taken the wrong path in life if you join up to the marines and can’t get to grips that your not playing with sticks and stones anymore. Your correct Kurt, people like that end up killing very intelligent loyal marines.
what an idiot.... why join the military & especially why pick a troop thats GOING TO end up seeing combat. mind you, plenty of people who don't like guns join the infantry for some strange reason, I've heard many fellow Canadians say the same thing about being around guns yet they're ground pounding, syrup hooping, crayon demolishing grunts.
In the Korean military, that's a trick played by commanders to test your adherence to protocol. If you let your guard down, you get grilled. They want you to stop them and relentlessly ask them to identify themselves and give the codeword.
Served alongside some Brits in Iraq about 8 yrs ago. Top notch war fighters these guys. Nothing but respect for our brothers across the pond. Best allies a nation could ask for. 9/11 & 7/7..Never Forget!!
I like how the instructors are not screaming in your face, but show respect and kindness. But then they still make you crawl through mud, jump into icy water and rip balls off. It makes it seam almost sinister whilst keeping you motivated. It's important to like the people training you.
+Gh Gtt this is nothing like what the training is really like, they get treated like shit but this documentary doesn't show it, oh and btw the yanks are piss poor
Shout in my face, drag me through mud, make me sweat, make me puke, fine. But make me iron all those clothes and make me chuck them on the floor, meaning I have to iron them again....😭😭😭
I spent 10 years in the USMC. I have met the Royals on several occasions and I have had the opportunity to train with them on 'Stone Cutter Island' in Hong Kong back in 1982 when it was British. 1st class soldiers (Marines). Highly motivated, very well trained, a cut above the rest.
USMarineRifleman0311 That was funny. But if you do your research you would learn that there were only 68 marines on the island, which was brought down to 44 when 22 of them actually ended up fighting the Argentinian invasion force head on taking out a 260ft warship and helicopters. Described as a modern day "rorke's drift" they ended up being forced to surrender and told to surrender the island by the British government where they were escorted off the island only to come back later and recapture it. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1169911/Revealed-Untold-story-22-Marines-held-hundreds-Argentinians-disabled-warship-eve-Falklands-War.html
Very difficult 32 weeks but at the end you make friends for life, from the gym, bottom field and out on exercise, tests you to heights you could never believe, I miss the military but most of all I miss the brotherhood. I was 929 troop and we used to call 924 troop the Hollywood troop.
I was a stoker in the Navy for 10 years, Hms Newcastle my first ship. On my 18th birthday the 6 Royal Marines in our mess bought me 2 tins of Special Vat cider each and sat there spinning dits and singing all night long. Its 30 years down the line now and I will forever be proud of the job these lads do and be in awe of how bloody fast they can neck a tin of cider.
Been there and it was without doubt the hardest 32 weeks of my life, but after getting the green beret of a Royal Marine Commando and passing out I was ten foot tall. I did ten years joining in 1977 leaving in 1987, and I would in a heartbeat do it all over again.
I wish i could do that man. I’m 17 now and im kinda unfit, but im trying to change that. It’ll probably be a while before i join, that is if i choose to do so. It seems like some good fun!
Should have tried P company course mate. Para Regt has always been superior to Sea hats. That is if you truly want to be elite. If theyre so good and youd do it again in a heartbeat, WHY did you leave mate?
I massively respect the lad from St Vincent coming over to join the British Military, I know the vast majority of us Brits have a lot of love for nations within the Commonwealth. I personally see them as family members as they want to remain closely tied with my country so feel extremely thankful and protective of these nations and their citizens. ❤🙏🇬🇧
Interesting guy. He was banging on about coming from a hard life and living tough but hes the one crying and moaning everytime they get put through the ringer
I've been in the Marine Corps for a little over six years. Their Drill Leader is spot on. I have friends for life. A lot of the shit sucks, but I wouldn't change a thing. Respect to my brothers overseas, fighting the fight. Oorah and crack on, boys.
Quite different from the service I went through in the US Army where the shit hit the fan from day 1. I like how they're easy at first-to let the recruits adapt and get used to things and then ratchet things up everyday. Salute to my British Brothers-In-Arms!
@@imperialhistati2348 Not at all. Imagine crawling on the ground with no FS, ouch. Of course you get nerve damage after some time and the whole thing stops working properly etc, but mutilation is never a good thing.
I'm a Hospital Corpsman in the U.S Navy (same as medical assistant, we serve on ships and with the Marines). I have to say the more I see of the Royal Marines and British Army the more I am convinced that they are better trained. Their quality life and morale seems significantly higher as well. In this particular video, there is a clear mutual respect between the instructors and recruits. For example, that friendly exchange between the officer and recruit about the values of the Royal Marines would never, ever happen in any U.S military boot camp. Perhaps I've had bad luck with instructors, in any case, I am very impressed with the British Armed Forces.
The officers do some of their training alongside the men and they have to pass the same commando tests only to a higher standard that’s why they have a good rapport with each other. From what I understand they are the only branch of the military in the UK that integrate their officers like this..
Nice documentary, a lot easier to watch than the US counter parts where they just parade their military or celebrate their excelency and outstanding killing power. I like the british more humble aproach that shows a lot more than just recruits in the mud.
Def watch the Commando at 55 ep. Guy who made this, Chris Terrill, was 55 at the time and completed all the tests and got an honorary green beret! Absolutely incredible 👏👏👏
I’m enlisting myself in a couple months would of enlisted immediately but wanted to make sure my fitness and strength is at peak performance beforehand watching these videos just to get a feel of the environment
I am an American and I love the British and UK dark sense of humor and making jokes in the most difficult situations. They are exceptional and stoic war fighters.
I wasnt just impressed.. I was extremely impressed with the Royal Marines. You guys take it to the enemy and have one awesome training program. Gained a new respect for the British Armed Forces. You have a fan from Mechanicsville, Va. yes... a yank.... keep up the awesome work mates....
well i served three tours and never had a drill instructor stroke his dick in front of me and no one i know died from disease. maybe complication from surgery but not disease.
Master Gonzo ill like to say thank you for your service however even in modern warfare 4,529 UK military and civilian personnel were admitted to UK Field Hospitals for disease
On his first day rct Liam crane said youve got to be up for it in the Royal Marines you dont come here half hearted then threw the towel in, So you were not up for it at all then Liam, Him as a Royal Marine,s Commando my arse, Just another young boy who never thought it through.
Just stuck my application in, hoping to join as an officer in September this year, to anyone planning to apply make sure you are prepared for the DAA and the fitness test immediately because the process is very quick
the guy that dropped out and talking at 22,30. came across as a very respectful and intelligent guy. fair play to him, hope he made a career for himself outside of the military.
They give everyone the benefit of the doubt and rightfully so as some situations could force someone into this line of work and their heart may simply not be there for it. He had every right to make the decision he did.@@chiizeogu2864
Im malaysian comando.our army drill is still like british.same like that.proud to be comando.its not easy u have to sacrifice everything to earn the green beret..every country have their own special forces..everyone is hero who dare to stand in front line
"Thank you, recruit. Go away." Hahaha. The parade grounds were funny too. Reminds me of when I was in cadets - we were even more ragtag than these poor bastards.
Yuri Al Deadsoon OMG! My very first RU-vid stalker troll! I will love him and feed him and name him Angus. Or... maybe I'll just block him from my channel and then ignore his trolling.
Orlando Rogers was tragically killed in a Tiger Moth accident which was piloted by his friend: Tributes have been pouring in for former Lympstone Royal Marine Orlando Rogers, 26, who died in hospital after a crash in a Tiger Moth aeroplane. The man who died after a recent plane crash in Dorset was an ‘inspirational’ former Royal Marine who trained at Lympstone Commando Training Camp. Orlando Rogers, 26, from Poole, was a passenger in a friend’s Tiger Moth when it got into trouble at around 1,500 feet, coming down in a field near Witchampton on May 15.
@@fred3965 He's probably one of those dudes that never leave their bedrooms but have an online encyclopaedic knowledge of all things military so they can try to fool us into thinking they are veterans of conflicts the world over. Sad, sad, human beings.
In the Clarkson documentary "greatest raid of all time", one of the commandos said that it was different than the regular army, where there was no shouting but you was still expected to deliver.
This makes me feel a bit old. In 2006 I was 13/14, so younger than all the recruits in this doc, now I'm the same age as the oldest ones were. Time flies.
Men I saw this..reminds me of my Ranger School days...i felt like shit but eventually i graduated and am glad...best decision i made was to join the US Army...British Soldiers are awesome and fun to be around
I loved marine corps boot camp. 1980. Then got out In 84 became a army scout at the age of 45 recived my first bronze star at tha age of 52..after 4 combat tours 24 different injurys they retired me at 100% Disability...I hated retiring..i miss It all!!
what works for the british clearly works, what works for americans clearly works. based off of combat records of both sides. so why change shit or claim one or the other is better?
+jonnieo ohara too true, we are allies and probably will be for a long time to come maybe even for ever, we are both world super powers and we have a strong partnership
I had the pleasure of working with royal marines in the south east of Iraq in 2003. They were professional, competent, and very good at what they did. Everyone has different experiences with a group of soldiers. I've met great marines and great soldiers as well as the dumbest. You can't decide what the quality of a program is on the basis of a TV show or what 4 troopers did during an exercise. And I will be the first to agree on the British sense of humor. They just do things that Americans don't get so you have to expect that what they do under training is just different than what an american soldier or marine will go through.
I recognise Sgt Webster at the 12min mark. Really good guy and always fair. This brings back memories of misery and pain , but also massive camaraderie.
Who cares if the British military is better than the american military or vice-versa. Both of them are brilliant and TOGETHER they are the best in the world.
There's moments I wish I could be like this. I relate to the first guy who left. I know what it's like. It feels like you don't fit in. Like you are an outsider to this world so you internalise your own fantasy in your mind. Some people may call it weak to not join the army but to me it's a blessing and a curse to be able to do something with my life that I'll enjoy. I want to see the world without having to face conflict while there. I want to stare at the stars on dark electric nights and imagine myself on the moon. I want to paint, write and make music about the gift of life. I don't know if some God created us, but what I do know is that I won't waste this gift on fighting others. I don't want to ever take that light out of someone's soul, so I'm blessed but cursed because I know I'm weak but that weakness is what makes me a man because if you truly enjoy life then you wouldn't take that from someone else.
Dude have you? Also quick story ant my steo dad he passed royal marines training with asmtha and didn't say abt it u tik the end he was still denied so I want ti make him proud
I am commenting from Kenya. It impresses me that the trainers are same age set with the recruits. I may like to be 202122 or 23 again. Great production. Its like forging from raw ore, or deriving from first principles. Asante Sana
I have been doing some research and it turns out that outside the special forces e.g. : the SAS. The Royal Marines have the longest training program in the world
