Is Joining The Royal Marines Really Worth It?

[@CompleteCommando]

A message to all aspiring Royal Marines. It all comes down to how much you want it, how hard are you willing to work?

Remember it’s about soldiering, and being the best. Working in extreme weather and conditions around the world. Unfortunately it is an anti climax to some, who end up disillusioned.

Great to hear mate.

The best job in the world I spent 10 years in the corps and regret every day leaving when I did . I have spent 20 years in the London fire brigade and it does not compare to the corps

I want to join the Marines when I’m out of College but my parents are scared sick of it. Thank you for the video, It really does help.

[@CompleteCommando]

No worries mate. I'd be more worried if my son didn't want to push himself and was happy to coast through life tbh.

[@frankparker8850]

Sam Logan Fitness thanks, They seem more happy with the Marines than the Army, I wouldn’t join the Army tho.

Well done mate!! 👏 Get it smashed bud

[@The_Mighty_Chicken_Man]

It's a tough job and it's not like any other job but I believe it's well worth it. The amount of physical and mental fitness you gain is huge and it's something you can't buy. You become disciplined, learn new skills, make new friends, defend your country and so much more. It'll be hard at the time and it's very risky especially when you're in a warzone but it's so worth it

I want to achieve it so bad but I feel put down with the fact I’m quite a small and skinny person - I’m still young but I feel discouraged when I struggle to put weight and muscle on, I 100% feel it’s the right decision though - any advice?

[@h7283]

Do the very best you possibly can, they like that. It's in the commando ethos under, "Excellence". We had a guy who was a skinny distance runner, and he passed. You are not expected to arrive at ctcrm wearing a Cape,and mask. Although some of the characters I encountered looked as if they had prior to joining. The di

[@PestoPathogen69]

I imagine it shouldn’t be a problem. But it may depend on which joint you’ve had it on. I may or may not need one on my TMJ (jaw joint) I would be astonished if this disqualified me from training if/when I apply

I might join... What stuff do they provide? And what age can you join from.

Is there a big chance of losing limbs or dying? I have heard IED mines are common and scarey?

[@oscarglover6630]

@Charlie Bronson I think there were over 450 Royal Marine deaths in Afghanistan and 90% were IED related. However Afghanistan lasted for well over a decade so the chance of losing limbs or being seriously injured is relatively small. However if your having thoughts and doubts about dying or being hurt constantly, I dont want to sound harsh but you probably shouldnt join up. But if you want it, just go for it
