i think that this has, more than anything, motivated me to get off my butt and start training hard. thanks for this, i really needed it!

[@MuscleWorld]

I agree, it's a 15 year old advert and we still remember it. The spider one was good too 👍

[@L3gionMusic]

I think they just changed it because they changed their attitude too. It used to be a matter of you fail a test you're going home. From what I understand now they actually try to help you pass through so long as they see the potential there.

Do you mind me asking what injury you got mate? I've had tennis elbow for almost a year now and feeling no different. Tendons take ages to heal so I know I can do it one day but I feel for you man because it'll be at least a few years before I can apply and that depresses me to hell.

Are you in yet?

[@lewisbirks959]

My life is dedicated to becoming a Marine. I am a kid, and I am training myself so I can hopefully become fit and strong enough to join a Marine.

[@exmoorfarmer4880]

Great video. I remember passing my PRMC clearly. There were 2 make or break occasions. The first was the pool and if you didn't go in backwards then it was looked on pretty dimly as a lack of Command spirit! The second was press ups while on the endurance course. Everybody had to lock arms and hold yourself after a few sets. Everyone who failed to hold as long as the PTI did failed the course if I remember correctly. This was though 25 years ago! Good luck to anyone and everyone joining.

[@AnOceanOnFire]

Did you get through the 32 weeks and get the green beret? I'm going to join the Royal Marines, and I'm going to spend a very long time training my self up even before I apply, I have my issues, I struggle with self discipline and eating habits, mainly that I don't eat enough, I'm underweight and a faliure to what I want to be, but il get out of my hole and punch my fucking issues in the nuts, the Jocko Podcast has helped me a lot, but I NEED not want to join the RMC, I want the strength it gives, the brotherhood it provides, and the life long skills that last, I dont care about the title, I care about what it stands for, and how it can improve myself to become better in every way.

[@AnOceanOnFire]

@Dave Klonpenberg that's the plan

[@AnOceanOnFire]

@@LRL. That is true, i listen to this guy called Jocko Willink, he says the same thing.

[@seanwood8883]
