Wow... how was your interview Scott? I'm still at the medical stage... Hope to see you oneday!

Fantastic news! This is great to hear :)

Hi mate, don't suppose you could give some tips/insight could you mate? Well done on smashing it.

@@mmm-bi1my Hello. My interview was done virtually. I believe that that's how interviews are being done post covid. There's no dress code, but just make sure that you're in a well lit area and are audible. When you join the interview the interviewer would introduce himself and would let you know that he won't press the record button right away. He'll ask you a couple of questions, mostly about the physical aspects of the Royal Marines training, commando units and their roles and where they are based etc. If you get them wrong then he'd ask you to write them down and quickly mesmerize them so that you'll be able to answer them when he hits record. The rest of the questions would be quite easy and would be about you, your family members, your hobbies, your education, your qualifications etc. You'll also be asked about why you want to join the Royal Navy and especially the Royal Marines. After the interview the interviewer would tell you that he'd take a 20 minutes break and would ask you to join the interview after the given time to let you know whether you passed it or not. Keep in mind that the interview itself is very easy and it's harder to fail it than it is to pass. All the best for your interview.

@@belovedgrandson absolutely amazing mate thank you vey much for that

@@dafyddmills7652 Well done! That's fantastic :)

@@dafyddmills7652 How's it going

@Editin decent just waiting for prmc date thanks

@UC06vamPdWd3wHmIbfTyds3A bllody hell it was a long time ago. It was basic maths, English, and sort of similar to an iq test, which basically tests problem solving and spacial awareness. It wasn't just a RM paper, it was a standered navy paper, every non officer had to sit it. Depending on what roll you was applying for, deemed how well you had to. To join the marines you only needed a very low score, something like 35/40%, a sub mariner needing something like 90% to gain entry. I can't recall if it was multiple choice or not, I know at that time the army test was, but that was on a pc. I applied for both Paras and marines, I couldn't wait to leave home, which was shit.

hey mate I've applied to the marine reserves a couple of days ago, I'm 16, exceptionally fit but I have no idea what to do about the interview. I'm Manchester based too. Is it ok if I ask some questions?

Cheers Michael. Good idea! Leave this with me, I will create a Paras video early next week and post it :)

Hey Robyn, thanks for posting your questions. Yes, I am sure you will get some help with the test. I recommend letting the Careers Advisor know beforehand and I believe you should get some extra time. I hope that helps. Cheers, Richard

Do you have an interview coming up?

@@CareerVidz hardly likely, I've done my time and am happily retired.

Hi there, it's great you are looking to join! It's not harder for people from the commonwealth to join - you will need to meet the criteria detailed on the following page, but go for it with the same vigor and determination you are showing in your message. You don't necessarily have to lift heavy weights. Go for lighter weights with more reps, swim, use a rowing machine and do copious quantities of situps, press ups and burpees. Good luck.

Hi Dom, you need to take the Royal Navy Recruiting Test and details are here: www.royalnavy.mod.uk/careers/joining/get-ready-to-join/practise-for-rt-test/reasoning The pass mark is dependent on what you are trying to join. There's also details on this website: www.how2become.com/careers/royal-marines-commando/ Cheers, Richard

CareerVidz yes thank you I’ve been practicing on the full Royal Marines test everyday now and I’ve hitting high scores. I’m also doing revision on there back ground. And the command units along with the values of a Royal Marine. Plus the top 10 memorable moments in the marines history.

Sure thing Daniel - is it for RN Officer for RM Officer?

@@CareerVidz royal marine officer scholarship

No worries - these might help: www.how2become.com/careers/royal-marines-officer/ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vMrpF4gTEI4.html&t Good luck :) Richard

How did it go?

@@hoshthemosh5701 went well mate. They didn’t give me a specific date but I’ve got my PJFT in 2-3 weeks then the ROP in October

@@woodenpineapple1481 thats very good to hear. I wish you all the best in your military career. Hope you pass training and PJFT

They most certainly can join... here's some information to read: www.royalnavy.mod.uk/royalmarines/women

CareerVidz thanks for the help

@@JayMartin1 Women can join any frontline regiment now but must still do the same physical tests as the men although they wont get shouted at and there wont be any black humour involved incase it offends women.

Thanks - check out Economist.com and also TheWeek.co.uk

Hi, thanks for commenting. I think the important thing is to be honest in your reply. Tell the interviewer that your family doesn't want you to join and explain the reasons why. Tell the panel you have done all you can to reassure them, but at the end of the day you are an adult who has his/her own goals and ambitions and nobody is going to deter you from achieving your goal. Finish off by saying that you believe your family will eventually come round to supporting you, once you commence training and they see a positive difference in you. I hope this helps. Richard

@@CareerVidz Thank you for replying i was worried the panel would suggest not becoming a commando if my family wasn't behind me, especially since i'm trying for the officer role. Again thank you for the reply

Hi there, thanks for posting and it sounds like your son has the potential to pass the selection process. My advice is to go for it and see what they say at the medical. I am sure it will be fine, but I recommend checking the medical requirements on the RN age below: www.royalnavy.mod.uk/careers/joining/get-ready-to-join/royal-marines-commando/am-i-eligible Like I say, my advice is for him to apply as he has nothing to lose! I hope that helps and good luck to your son. Cheers, Richard

CareerVidz thanks so much for this encouragement. Really appreciate it.

If he says he has eczema, he will get rejected. Don't tell them. What does he want more - the green lid or his "integrity"?

And make sure you get rid of it before the medical. At the medical they check your elbows and knees. I have no doubt if they find some they will note it down and in many cases, rejection.

@@Adam-eu8hm Yeah. Encouraging lying from the offset. Good effort.

GOOD LUCK CHRIS! Please would you SUBSCRIBE to my channel? I'd very much appreciate your support. Thank you! Richard 🙏

@@CareerVidz Thank you i passed it was easier than i thought i also subbed

Hey, thanks for your comment and it's great you are thinking of joining the Royal Marines I think it's great that you are looking to prepare early on. As you quite rightly point out, I think it's important that you don't do anything dangerous. I recommend looking into running, swimming, press ups and also pull-ups. These will give you a good base for getting fitter! Make sure you have someone with you to guide and support you when you're taking part in these activities. Good luck and we are sure you will achieve your goal of becoming a Royal Marines Commando if you work hard.

@@CareerVidz Tank you for the advice. I will make sure i consider all of these in the future for my training!

Triggz hey I'm the exact same 14, and want to join the Royal Marines, I'm a lcpl in the Royal marine cadets it really gives you good experiences you should come down one day to you're local unit.

@@Harry_-sg4tj i started cadets for them this week yesterday was my 2nd time. Im enjoyin it so far

@@michaeltripitani1044 I'm also 14 and planning on joining when I'm 18 I'm going to start exercising more and working out more than usual so that when I'm 18 I'll be prepared for it

Crane Fly hay pal, I’m just waiting on my date for my interview. Can you let me know how yours goes and some questions you got?

Pollyanna Pluck interview went really well I passed , he asked about urself a lot so make sure you talk about urself with confidence but don’t be arrogant , also learn the logo asked about the lion on the logo and date of the corps . Learn about all commando troops and where they based for the example 45 commando is in Arbroth Scotland

Okay thank you for that. Well done on the pass

How long was your interview may I ask?

Hi, I recommend reading this blog: www.how2become.com/blog/join-the-royal-navy-as-a-commonwealth-citizen/ Also, you can find out further details here: www.royalnavy.mod.uk/careers/joining/commonwealth-and-non-british/royal-marines Good luck and I hope you get your dream job :) Thanks, Richard

You should call up if it’s been 3 months and ask

Yes you can say this :)

(bricking it)

How did it go? :)

Hi, sure thing... here is some information for you: www.how2become.com/blog/join-the-royal-navy-as-a-commonwealth-citizen/

Hi Lee, my advice is to start taking swimming lessons. Which county in the UK are you based and I will send you some details of where to start learning?

Good luck my friend.

@@CareerVidz thx pal took your advice on cheers

@@CareerVidz thanks so mucch passed it

Just go for it... don't worry

I have my interview Friday I shall let you know

Jacob Daniels how did it go?

Joe Johnson went well thank you he only asked a couple questions about sports but more about other times in life where I’ve had to work as a team I feel like he just asks about sports because it easy to answer (if you’ve played sports before) but I wouldn’t worry too much I’d just stress mostly about knowing your six modules of training and corps history 👍

Jacob Daniels thanks a lot for letting me know, best of luck

Joe Johnson same goes to you mate 👍

Hi Sudeep, yes I believe you will have to. Full details on the Royal Marines selection process, including fitness test can be found here: www.how2become.com/careers/royal-marines-commando/ Good luck! Richard

@@CareerVidz Thank you sir.

Hi, yes it is different. It's much tougher in many respects, especially the fitness. I hope that helps :)

Yes it should still be helpful! :)

Hi there, no... they won't have a preference but you need to be under the age of 33 when you start your Basic Training as a Royal Marines Commando. Full eligibility reuirements for joining can be found here: www.royalnavy.mod.uk/careers/joining/get-ready-to-join/royal-marines-commando/am-i-eligible

@@CareerVidz Thank You Sir. One More Question; i am a Commonwealth Citizen; Usually, How many days does the Overseas Recruitment team take to reach out after My Application was Received?

@@SudeepBheemireddy hi did they reply?

I am not sure myself, but hopefully someone here can confirm whether that is correct or not. You can also contact here to get confirmation quickly: www.royalnavy.mod.uk/careers/royal-marines/what-can-i-do/royal-marines-commando

Hi Sam, you could say that if you want to but remember the Royal Marines do so much more than that. I personally think the training is an important aspect of the role to discuss at the interview. More information can be found here: www.how2become.com/royal-marines-interview/

Be honest - honesty is the best policy... always! :)
