"I have followed the exploits of the Royal Marines speed marching team over six years," writes military filmmaker Chris Terrill. "Royal Marines have determination and doggedness bred in their bones but I never cease to be amazed at the pain thresholds they are able to cross, both physically and mentally."

This should have been on the national news. f@#king discraseful decision by Guinness. So when athletes wore the latest advanced running shoes to break a world record, technically their records no longer stand because they weren't wearing the same running shoes as when the original record was set, and what about their socks, shorts and vests or even their underwear for that matter. I smell a Guinness rat. Somebody at Guinness has a personal interest behind this decision and not wanting it to be recognised. we should be demanding the identity of the rat who stitched up the Marines world record success.

They won that record fair and square, mega effort Marines.

[@swirvin_625]

The marines and Major Scotty mills are a big inspiration, I start my career in recruit training February.

TRAMPO$O good luck lad

[@seakayaker1470]

Good on you lad, give your very best, it’ll make you!

[@tonyalways7174]

Good luck to you. Remember what you heard. It’s a state of mind that will get you through: never give up.

[@Secretorder13]

Did you make it mate?? 🤞

[@garytazcarroll8623]

Awesome effort Lads, great Drills. from an Ex Para, You Smashed Simple As.....

[@thespecopser8160]

40:50 "We never leave anyone behind!" Maaaan as a soldier I can relate to that and to the following scenes. Goosebumps!!! Good Job comrades! Greetings from Germany. Still, 2021 my unit will take that record from you XD AND YES AGAIN, in my opinion YOU HOLD THAT RECORD, no matter what trousers!!!

[@dennismaginnis5755]

Did Wayne Gretzky use the same hockey stick as Gordie Howe and Phil Esposito? Nope. Did the winner of this years Boston Marathon wear the same sneakers as Bill Rogers in the 80's? Nope. Did Serena Williams use the same wooden racket as Billie Jean King? Nope. Guinness has their heads up their World record ARSES.

[@ssmmooth]

They can't have the record due to trousers being 'modern', christ the boots they were wearing were aswell! 100% a record and should be proud

[@bradmiller2329]

Maybe Guinness wants them to go back to running in leather stocks and hob-nailed boots?

[@andydunn5673]

Well done lads Outstanding effort I’m proud to be British

[@mikeradford5630]

Scotie and the famous eight plus the entire support team.. rest easy, you know you got the world record, we know you got the world record... I'm sure the Royal artillery will say you got the world record. It's not what your wearing but how you wear it.... and what's in your heart. I was in the Falklands in 82 and completed the yomp now aged 60 I look back and thank god I got home and proud that our legacy is still ingrained in training.... as you say it's when you finish that the fight begins.. it did that day! You have my salute !

[@CelticProgeny]

Immense respect. In our hearts you broke the record and it's what's in our hearts that counts.

The Royal Marines speed march into hell and the Devil surrendered when he heard they were coming.

[@messiah690]

Hugh Franklin I heard the devil wanted to join as their potatoe peeler because he wasn’t worthy of anything else! 💀💀💀

[@ElgrandeRick810817]

24-10-2020 Us cloggies are coming for that record today...! Wish us luck! Massive respect for you lads!

[@ElgrandeRick810817]

They did it 💪🏻 don’t know if it is official yet. Or how that exactly works. But it seems the new time is 03:59 (3 hours and 59 minutes) not sure about the seconds.

[@hb1338]

@@ElgrandeRick810817 If your guys weren't wearing *British* military trousers as per the rules, they haven't broken the record ! Never mind Guinness, that's an excellent performance.

[@lolkevandewitte1713]

Gisteravond de docu gezien. Indrukwekkend, op vele manieren. Veel respect, vooral voor Cas van Bakel…. Wat een mooi en ontroerend afscheid voor hem. Ik wens zijn familie veel sterkte.

[@MrJrange]

To anyone who watched this, they smashed the world record. Congratulations to the Royal Marines, what an amazing achievement.

[@madmeerkat1158]

My uncle landed on "Sword" beach, Normandy. June 6th 1944 with 41 Commando R.M.. I still have his second pattern Fairbairn/Sykes fighting knife. Never spoke about it in detail until just before he died. Very proud of both him and the Royal Marines!!

[@para7843]

What a load of bollocks wrong trousers on. The boots must be wrong as well and there day sacks so that is a load of bollocks, and I am ex para reg and I am sticking up for booties. It was a massive effort job done.

[@edwardcullen1739]

Not like gear for OTHER sports records has changed over the past hundred years... But hey! Can't have consistency when it means recognising such a fantastic feat of endurance... 🙄

[@D4ng404]

Edward Cullen Not like OTHER jokes have changed over the past hundred years-but, hey, can’t have consistency when recognizing sarcasm on the internet.

[@rockywr]

Quite agree Carl... never even thought about boots/socks..... we'll have to include belts and t-shirts as well. Stuff Guinness, the guys knew they broke it.

[@antonysavage8218]

I agree day sacks didnt see 1 burgen mucker up the reg !!!

[@myapolloartemis_6829]

the lot of you be quiet, they did it in the right kit, they are marines not morones, who cares what bag they used or what trousers they wore you go do it youself then lads

[@dazaessox]

this brought a tear to my eyes well done all the lads and women involved, for such a momentous achievement

[@thebolsta]

A google search revealed that the record was awarded to the team... But it was smashed in 2020 by a team of 21 Dutch marines, who took 15 minutes off the time. It now stands at 3:58:55

[@katerinakemp5701]

Gosh the Maj is the best motivator, cares for the men in his charge does a magnificent job as a tour guide. Kudos to all participants, well done.

[@RockkcoR]

Good work by my brothers across the pond! This was a very motivational video.

[@jonfouracre1254]

Very proud of our very special Royal Marines, magnificent result and a very inspirational story. A big thank you to you all for everything you do and the sacrifices you have made.

[@seakayaker1470]

You broke the record with the weight on your back and your brothers at your side. Good lads, proud of you all!

[@sammyc620]

Thankyou for you’re Service .. Remember- Respect- Honour ! You smashed it lads x💚

[@jsdoddy]

the Major is singing 18 miles in 😂 The level of these guys’ fitness is insane

[@hb1338]

He wasn't carrying a pack, he's just a lightweight cheerleader ! (Or not).

[@welshcasual]

If we all had a Scotty in our lives we'd be unstoppable. What a great guy he is, they all are. Trousers or not, they smashed it.

[@zdenekmarek3843]

A wonderfull achievement and effort by the Royal Marines.Remember this is a team and unit achievement aswell as the human individual one by all involved.Josh Roles your correct its not about better other than beating the record.The Royal Marines have proved that they are GREAT ! God Bless them all. SUPPORT OUR TROOPS.
