I have a question… I’ve considered joining the marines, however the doubt in my mind is whether or not I’m the sort of person who would pass. I come from a middle-class background, I was diagnosed with autism at a young age, and therefore I was quite overprotected, particularly at school, im quite in touch with my feminine side (not in a gay way or anything like that, more just I can be emotional, I don’t like being disliked and I like being liked, which I imagine will make getting shouted at particularly stressful), I often struggle with simple discomfort barriers like waking up early, and on top of this, I’m very skinny (I weigh 72 kg and I’m 6ft 4). I also struggle with pain barriers, much like others, but the mental doubt mostly comes from watching those commandos on the front lines and ‘how to join the marines’ videos, and all the people who fail are like me. That’s where the doubt comes from. I don’t know what to do? Yes I do want this, but so do the other 50 guys I’m joining with, and most of them fail. I have time on my side (as I need to finish my degree first), so I can train in advance, however I’m worried that marine training is sort of like an iq test where you either are good enough or are not mentally, and there is nothing you can do about it. I really don’t want to sacrifice all that to joining the marines, only to be told I’ve failed the training. Also what do I do if I’m a skinny guy and I can’t put on fat? Cheers

I was a Royal Marine from 78 to 88 . The training is the hardest thing I ever did, earning the right to wear the green beret is 90% in your mind. This man is right..they will make you fit beyond belief...I mean Olympic fit. But you have to have the right frame of mind. As far as I know, women can now join the Royal Marines but none so far has passed because they will no drop the standards.

I like 👍 your advice 😏

Are there any bootnecks left in the corps or are they all on Y.T sharing their wisdom..

One thing I do know is that wearing the Green Beret with No1 Blues contravenes Dress Regulations only a Peaked Cap or Pith Helmet should be worn with Blues.

I passed out 34 years ago with my original troop and spent 11 years in the Corp. I think that the best advice is to keep a smile on your face and just do as you’re told and do it to the best of your ability. Stress fractures are a part and parcel of training. The only treatment is complete rest, which is pretty much impossible if you are intent on going through training in the same troop. They used to call it “sore legs”, and gave you a choice. I don’t see any other option but to keep going and just live with the pain. It wouldn’t be a topic of conversation if you were in a Commando Unit. Bergen, yomp, and don’t mention anything about your sore legs. Well, you can do, but I don’t think you should hold your breath for the response that you’d like, ha ha. Train hard, fight easy..

Fully agree mate, endurance course was the worst for me. The anxiety levels on it were through the roof, i'd had dramas on the warmup run throughs and was flapping when it came to the day of the race. You feel like you're digging out the whole time but no idea how well you're doing. Whereas all the other 3 you can gauge how you're doing throughout

How often they bath?

hi mate i cant seem to find your royal marine video the one where you show your transformation from being a kid all the way to having your green lid has it been removed?

Am Kirk from Ghana. I am really fascinated by the joining the royal marine commandos. Hope to know tips on how to join.

Too cute. They are very quiet? My son has had a couple regular size (both rescues) who were quite barky. Just as lovable though.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Patty

Ow... I'd appreciate if you didn't make my ears ring by playing the loudest bleep sound 5 seconds into the video. That really hurt. What is it with every youtuber's obsession with this horrendous bleep sound anyway? What's with the grainy "no signal" tv image? Do youtubers think they're on some 80s/90s television where the cable sometimes disconnects shortly, so you get the most jarring transition imaginable? This doesn't even make sense, yet everyone is doing this without questioning it.

Thank you very much for this video! I want to join to be a Royal Marines Commando in 2 years once I'm done with school and I know it's going to be tough so I'm training hard

Thank you very much for this video! I tried the fitness test not the prejoining one but the actual one where it has 60 Push Ups, 85 Sit Ups and 16 Pull ups and it was hard! I wasn't able to complete these but I was getting just under 2/3rds of the way there so I will be sure to use some of your tips because once I'm done with school in 2 years time I want to sign up and join the Royal Marines it's my dream job

Looks like hash lol

OII THESE PANCAKES ARE CERTIFIED DELICIOUS TRUST ME DONT WASTE TIME WITH SILLY OMMLETE PANCAKES RECIPES THIS IS THE REALLL DEALL YUM YUM YUM

Thanks for keeping it simple. Best mix I've seen

Thank you! Tried this recipe today. It was perfect. The pancakes are fluffy and easy to flip. Great texture, can easily be mistaken for non-protein pancakes. I used a whey protein with a taste I hate. The taste was really mellow in the pancakes. So it's a great way to use up the protein you hate)

Is self raising flour protein?

dont do it loool

The “OIIIIII THATS MY SOCK” killed me 🤣🤣🤣😂😅

You are so right about the mental side. On paper I was the perfect recruit ( qualifications and hot pt ) but totally mentally not there and quit quite early. Biggest respect to our forces personal.

465 calories and 37 G of protein 💪🏽

i JUST made these for dinner and i wanna say thank you! these were SO filling and satisfying and will definitely do the job when i’m in need of a sweet craving 😊❤

Going to add a little bit more milk and some banana into the mixture it's self and see how that goes

Did not see any cooking . The pan was t even on to begin with pretending to cook 3 pa cakes no sign of heat in the pan of any cooking then a cut scene to 3 more on a plate. I'm calling bullshit

Liter and gramm isn't the same weight...

kzbin.info/aero/PLIN4KXxlMbCVCmis9PLlrGnWdcjqvzcIk If anyone wants to prepare for the Royal marine training the link is here good luck 👍😊

Best pancakes ever!!! We used vanilla protein and added a little bit of cinnamon. Absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing your recipe 🤩

This man’s voice sounds like the Wallace guy from Wallace and Gromit to my untrained Texas ears.

I just tried this recipe and I only had chocolate protein Powder and I did 2 large pancakes and Rolled them up like a wrap with honey and banana and they were sooo good 💪🏽❤

So true about the boots. I’m sleeping on my sausage dog sheets while wearing my sausage dog pjs. My husband owns exactly one dress shirt….yep dachshunds all over it.

Can you have those hand tats in the RM?

Isn’t flower bad for you though

Are sausage dogs big or little dogs?

Tastes meh tbh but it gets the job done which not many recipes do , would make again

♥️🐕🐕♥️

They look delicious and i just hope my pt lets me have these 😂😂

Woman thahk

Thx for the advice because I am considering to join

Self raising flower 60g Milk 60g One egg 8 grams butter 30 grams protein powder Baking powder 1/2 teaspoon

Hi can i store the batter for a night on the fridge?

I think they are so cute,

Thanks, this really help me. Nanomachine son 💪

As a student in year 11 my predicted GCSE grades are quite high so I want to join the marines as an officer but the PRMC is difficult enough as it is let alone the POC, I know I will do well with the essays and knowledge driven tests but in the POC you obviously have to do more than in the PRMC when it comes to gym test and the assault cause so I'm here to try and keep a workout routine and get fitter for when I go into training which is quite difficult because I lack the commitment. Chrs for the video mate.

these taste amazing thankyou 😋

would this be alright for a regular pancake recipe (aka without the whey protein)?

Thank you so much man! You deserve more subs honestly

You guys smashed it!!!
