Think you know what it takes to be a Royal Marine? This film reveals the truth... 

Major Scotty Mills deserves a knighthood. stop giving them to corrupt politicians, the like of Jacob William Rees-Mogg, and singers like Cliff Richard and the other snow fakes and give them to real men that served this country and showed true knights values. I nominate Major Scotty Mills

I know Scotty personally, served with him at 42 CDO and I can tell you he's everything you see here and more, a true gentleman and inspiration to young and old, no Marine ever deserved success more.

I served for ten years in the British Army as a Rifleman in the Royal Green Jackets. I got to work with a Marine unit in Northern Ireland. They were a cut above us. What struck me was how much more articulate they were to your average squaddie. They were really professional and a pleasure to work with. Years later I was based in Cyprus and during one of our adventure training weeks a Bootneck taught me how to sail. I still sail to this day 25 years later. I am proud of our Marines.

I was a nod in 1999 and this guy was my PTI, 777Tp . I was a very young 16yr old, far too immature for training and binned out. But never forgot this guy. In those few months he left an impact on me that stayed well beyond my short time in training. Great sense of humour and consummate professional. A great ambassador for his corps.

Passed the all arms Commando course and spent 4 years with Royal in Plymouth, Norway and Cyprus. Hoofing!

Major Scotty Mills, what a stellar guy, top man... a massive thumbs up from this Sapper Veteran ...

A proper 100% hardcore Bootneck.. Our military should be proud to have him and men like him as ambassadors.. Much respect

I was privileged to experience CTCRM in 1984 and everything this gentleman states just epitomises the experience that we all have experienced there. The lessons I learned, defined who I am today and have made my life and hopefully so many others, that much richer "Once a Marine".

Excellent comments re what a marine is like and what they go through. Very humble as well.respect due. I've worked with quite a few. Good reliable intelligent blokes.

I have 3 members of my family in the marines. Their commitment brings tears to my eyes.

I was a proper Bottom Field phys Biff and ended up in Hunter. Scotty gave me the belief and confidence and the hoofing training to get through it. I owe the proudest 6 years of my life to Sir Mills.

I could genuinely listen to Scotty narrate anything for hours, his voice and passion is so soothing and inspiring

Ultimate respect for all of our truly professional, extremely well trained and committed armed forces. Proud of you all 👏👏👏👏👈👈

As someone who has become jaded with the constant pleadings of "injustice" for minorities over these last few years, I am in envy of this mans courage, commitment and fortitude. What an example. I could not come close to the way this guy has lived his life.

My word, you’d follow that bloke anywhere. Such an inspirational, enthused and humble man. Thank you for your service.

You have my total respect Major. I would have been privileged to have served with you had I joined the Royal Marines. But I joined the Royal Air Force because my school background was the A.T.C. But a great life can be had in the forces.

We need more operators like him.

The best fighting man in the world.. Respects from an Irish soldier ☘️

Fought next to some Royal Marines. They are top notch in every aspect.

What a humble and sympathic guy.

What a refreshing story well done Scotty for your service to your country bravo

I wasnt a commando. But my brother from another mother was. He sadly died of brain cancer 5 years ago. And it was during this terrible time that he displayed to everyone his determination. Even when he couldnt talk, he fought. When the pain was unbearbale he would take the morphoine because he wanted to lie every breath of life. I miss you Jack

Thats Someone for people to be inspired by. Came across the Royal Marines in the 70s while living in Malta. Was in the CCF then, understood then they were a cut above everyone else.

What a top bloke!

Hoofing. True words.

Interesting to see, knowing that guys like him must have gone through a lot, how positive his attitude and view on life is. That is truly inspirational. I am really really jealous about the friendships and brotherhood these guys in the army have: a bond for life. Always knowing someone's got your back.

Should write a book about his life

Totally can relate to his speech ... 🎉 Also, love the part where he said there is no safety need for the high obstacle course... just another day in the office 😊

Superb guy and superb film Respect to all x

Every word Scotty said is as true today as it has been in the past and will be into the future - well done Royal

Scotty Mills spittin bars! Legend!

This is an incredible video which seems to encapsulate so much about HM Royal Marines. And what a star Major Scotty Mills is in front of the camera

I could listen to this guy taken all day…

I have watched many things on this man thank you for yr service good luck 🙏

Legend. I remember him from when i was training at RMR Wandsworth barracks years ago. Stern but nice guy.

Fair play to them seeking adventure I'm just not the build for it. A lad I know he's only 5ft5 and smashed it.

Respect 🙏

Thank you for your service...🪶

Godbless everyone who served you all heros keep up the good work.

Thank you for your service Sir 👍

waiting for my application to get processed

What a great man.

I saw you leading the team on that record attempting speed march on RU-vid, it was compelling viewing.

Thank you for your service Scotty.

Was with you guys in Bridgeport Ca. at the mountain school. Hard AF. SFMF

Green lid hard to earn even harder to take off. By land or sea. thanks to every marine both past and present for your service, protection and sacrifice.

Awesome 👏

What an inspiring guy !!

What a great gentleman.

Thanks you for your services

Brilliant

Respect

Semper Fi Sergeant Major! From a US Marine....

JUST ONE WORD FOR YOU OUR ROYAL MARINES THANKYOU X

I did 11 years in the British Army, & would come into contact with Royal Marines on a fairly regular basis. You don’t even have to talk to these blokes, but they gain your respect, simply because you know what sort of man they are, & what they did to earn the right to wear that green beret.

Always been a passion of mine , enlisted when i turned 16 and was denied as a guardians signature was required and my parents wasn't budging so gotta wait 2 years ahaha , would love to see how this takes me in life.

This video says it all 👍

Thank you Sir🙏🏼 Commando legend

You would go to battle with that man ... thank you for your sevice sir

Scotty Mills. One of 2 Bootnecks, the other being Joe Gillespie, I have worked alongside who I would have followed anywhere. Once a Bootneck, always a Bootneck

TOP fella .

It's great to know that there are guys like this at the tip of the spear.

Very well represented Scotty.

I cant wait to join.

Glad they on our side

You are a legend sir

❤❤❤❤

Remember this top bloke from doing the guiness record vid. Top man

That perception of a Royal Marine Commando of flexing biceps is attributed to the wrong Reg. That's the Paras, in my experience. I still respect Paras (I was 2PWRR) but I've worked (and drank) with both Paras and RMC and I prefered the RMCs purely because they didn't look for a fight. Maj. Mills is someone I respect, but not because of the colour of his skin (I am disappointed to hear it mentioned at all) but because he served and he did so with distinction. I don't care about your skin colour. Until you do.

*me sitting on the couch eating chips* I could totally do this

RespeCT mate

A man's man in a nutshell thank you sir

The US Marines need to take some ques from our Commando Brothers... went through training in 04' and the entire time, was kinda wondering if that was all... and yea... it was. You get more advanced tactical training in the fleet... but 1. We need to kick people out and not just bustle everyone through, and 2... make it more serious.

Hard , F...king hard !

Gentle folk sleep well at night, whilst rough men, man the ramparts ,

If you can track your rifle on dartmoor you are already top 3rd of RM I hear...

I watched a movie about what happened in England during the 2nd World War. A BBC-type movie. There was an episode about the British commandos. The training was led by Colonel Simon Fraser, 15th Lord Lovat. I couldn't find any information about him. Is there a book about him? I wonder what method of physical training he used and took more? At that time there were sports, but this is not suitable for military physical training. In that film it was said that the best special forces adopted the training methodology after the war. It is strange that there is no information about this wonderful person.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

In my 23 years of US Army service Cheerfulness was never one of our attributes 😂. That cracked me up 😂. We need to include that one 😄👍.

No I don't know what it takes, but I respect their willpower!

Once Green always Green, inside and out

Love all the Armed forces past and present from an old TROGG

Can I get some help join the royal marines commando from the Caribbean trying to get a application for the longest while help please

Nasche zdórovje 🍺

The 30 miler !

Fella in the sheepdip looks like Raheem Sterling.

🙋‍♂️ couldn't find a salute emoji

Sounds so nice and glamorous doesnt it!😂 As a 4 year Marine at 42 CDO (with Uni Degree), with wife and baby in 2012, my take home pay was GBP1075.00 per month (stil have the payslip)! Family housing built in the 60s, with damp air impacting my sons health. Also, last week of the month, I never had money for food and looked like idiot during PT. Myself and numerous other lads being fed by 42 CDO welfare office on the 4th week of the month. But its ok, Officers get super pay and their quarters looks like a hotel, with CO's house being out of an English novel. Now, asking myself, if I redirected the effort I did in earning a Green Beret to go straight into finance (where I am today), how much better off I would be? The answer is 1000x better off. Just know, the novelty of a Green Beret wears off pretty quick when you are in the ranks. Takes 5- 8 years just to reach Lance Corpral if you are lucky (only about 5-7% more pay than rank at Marine). No money to pay for the bills and family, and totally dependent on " child benefits ' to supplement income. But, its a choice / mestake I made and I corrected it. So, just saying, if you have other options think very carefully before joining up in the ranks. And to all the officers (Sir's 🫡)! I hope the steaks, brandy, brand new family housing, the bar at the fancy mess, the perks coming from the units budget + the Officers Association to sort your " meaningful " next job once you leave are still there. Those things are much more important than decent pay + care of family for " the lads ", you know, the ones who kick down the doors when clearing compounds! Or, the ones who are orderd to bound forward to draw fire as to reveal the enemies position.

Do I have to lose my rifle or is it optional?

Do most leave after 5 or so years? …

They have a long history of Soldiering suits a special kind of person able to perform in all climates!

Was considering it until I realised the pay is shit.

Worked with the RM on s3veral occasions. Photo copied secret info issued it to troops and took it on patrol, sharing secret passwords, failing to collate secret info and conducting unauthorised int ops totally un reliable

Amazing men. Thank you.

But , the last six weeks !

To be fair RMC are Elite Forces.. a step below Special.

I defy any man to mess up this guys sock draw ....

Should show this short film in inner city schools but to be honest he would probably be hated by left wing teachers and called a coconut

Walky walk time. Gotta move those legs no matter what. Sedentarism bearly has room in my dictionary.

This guys voice could give Tom Hardy a run for hus money
