90% sure i wil be shipped off to iraq for 6month

ohh yea firgot to mention anyone one read the newspapers about the marines and the bean juice incident? that was in the same block as me just the rooms above was nothing like what the papers said lol
 
The media simply don't understand the Marines, or for that matter, most of the military. They think it's all jolly war games and fitness.

Grats on your achievements and all that. My father and uncle are in the Marines so if you have any questions (or anyone) I'm sure I can get some decent answers to them. :) My dad's been in since he was 16!

Who are higher regarded?

Para's or Marines? :p
 
Missed this thread first time.

Congratulations on the initial test and I assume you are on the Commando course Dazza ?

Being one of the longest, maybe THE longest, and most physically and menntally demanding basic training courses in the world, I think anyone can be proud of achieving the green lid.

Per Mare Per Terram. :cool:

Well a mate of mine who joined the Marines in the early 90's and has left now, told me of a cracking punch up in a nightclub between Marines and Paras. He then said that they all had a drink later on, but I never did know if he was kidding or not.

Anyway, o/t.
 
I'm looking forward to my PRMC now, every day i'm feeling more confident, although i've been out for a month with a bloody cold!

My RM acquiant day is in July, that will be a good laugh I hope, it is only for a day. I'm aiming to complete any runs they send us on, that will make me happy :D

I forgot to ask you on MSN about a couple of things daz, i'll be on tomorrow early if you are about :)
 
Yo Daz, how are you finding it so far? Have they made you eat lard yet? I should get my PRMC organised for early next year, that should give me enough time to get fit enough to find it slightly easier than I would if I went with Manlove. :o :D
 
its had its ups and downs easy and hard times i have enjoyed most of it so far few things i hated were

mud run in the estury(sp?) mega hard mud to your knees and you godda run and crawl through it much pain involved lol

firemans carry camp cuircuit was not to bad hurt abit

lampost camp cuircuit hurt a lot seen as though the guys in front of me bar the lead man wernt carrying it properly on the shoulder

flanking on marshal star was a hangout hill spints with big water cans ppl on your back ect

looking forward to weeks 11 and 12 when we spend 2 weeks on the range shooting the crap out of things
 
Well done mate. I have a lot of respect for people like you because there's no way I could undertake anything like this myself!
