I could not count the amount of times we went over the water regain tank in training, some fails and cold dips until we perfected the exact execution the Royal did in this video.
I don't understand what that guy's doing ? You've done the hardest part getting you're legs back on . Just lift you're arm over the rope and swing like the RQMS showed him. I should know, did the Commando Course many years ago !! Reason to talk , not trying to show off but don't forget to pass Bottom Field tests it's with 22lb webbing and weapon after 30 ft rope climb , assault course and 200m fireman carry , he was in clean fatigues !!
Well seen as that's at lympstone I'd of been very surprised if the marine didn't do it as he will of done it a million times in training. I did this when I was 19 on the same course and proud to say I was one of 2 out of 20 that managed it.
Yes. They will all try, and yet, try as they may, none shall pass. Quite simply. The Regain is a door to which the lock can't be picked. It can only be opened by its own special kind of key. That key is called 'Technique'. Without it, even the world's best ten gymnasts cannot successfully complete it correctly, any other way but, the only way. Learn from a Royal Marine, and enjoy plain sailing. [I don't beg your pardon for the pun] 😏
Oi fella, it was a spur of the moment thing when he came in my office and said he wanted to be a PTI, so I said I would forward your chit if you can do a regain. I didn’t have a clue that anyone was videoing it, and I went up there to teach him the technique, but I was a bit late or he let go a bit early 🤷🏻♂️
I hadn’t done a regain for 17 years before this day, I went up there to help him and talk him through the technique but he obviously fell off. I was his boss and before he left he managed a few regains no problems 👍
Yeah looks fun, good thing the Infantry don't bother with this, were too busy trying to save the world, good try Navy but leave it to the experts eh lol.
Its obviously easier being under the rope than above it so common sense would suggest to me that pissing away time trying to "regain" the rope is time...pissed away.
As a young marine in 1953 I recall doing all ropes, regains etc in fighting order and rifle. If you did'nt succeed you got back squadded and did all the course again.
No, you'd run out of strength and endurance trying to get across that rope on the underside. If not on the rope section, but later on in the assault course. The regain allows you to recover from the underside.
The marines call the gravy and also the RAF a taxi service. Marines have no love for either of the branches, the only people that they like in the RAF are the rock apes.
@@marknorville9827 There has always been healthy banter between the armed forces but when the shit hits the fan they stand shoulder to shoulder in arms.
