Yeah, but you hung around with the Jockanese scumbags that are 45 Commando, not all Marines are created equal.

You'd have got a far better class of skullduggery and ladishness if you'd been anywhere near Bickleigh Barracks.

Consider them brung.

Because you'd be a f**cking idiot to walk into a commitment of that magnitude before asking the most pertinent questions. IMO asking a question like that suggests an appreciation of what may be involved and seeking opinions that may/may not provide another perspective. Especially considering many users of this forum appear to be in the forces.

My conclusion is that you are a first class t**t. Stay out of the conversation if you have nothing more constructive to add.

You sound far too intelligent to waste your time signing up for a commission. You can spell, and everything.

Seriously though, the life of an RM officer is not easy. For a start your training is tougher than that of the men you will lead and you'll be at Lympstone for longer proving yourself fit enough to do the job. From there on a mind like yours would work well at thinking things through before acting, a trait not often found in army officers. RAF officers basically have all their thinking done for them by their ground crew or office staff.

I say do it, but take it from me, the training is a proper fookin killer, and I only did the 30 week variety, an officer does another 2 weeks on top of that with higher levels to acheive IIRC. Whatever you do, if you get the choice, go for 42 and in particular 'K' Co. if you can swing it.

By the way soldier.....you've not gained any stripes yet......so hold on to the ordering about will yer? LOL

Now then soldier ,soldier....calm under fire and all that. Your self cotrol immediately indicates that you are unfit for service in the military. Although you would sooon be knocked in to shape. You being a bit gobby and full of attitude is something they have all seen a thousand times before.

I still beg to differ..there are some on here who are ex and even serving service personnel...to say that there are "many" is a gross exaggeration.

No one is born a natural soldier,it is a matter of who can swallow the BS and conform to a group ethic? Did you not learn anything in the cadets? Did you not research some time ago which branch of the armed forces might be best for you?

I tell you something,joining the Marines and then let slip in company what some of your thoughts and attitudes were before you joined and you will get well sorted.

I hope this is more of a value to you? Or would you like to offer another caveman like insult? carry on.

Oh, the fights!

I used to live in Plymouth..............in Union Street for those who know the area I had a flat there three floors up, and when I was bored I would watch out of the window until a bunch of matelots and a bunch of bootnecks passed each other under my window, then I'd throw something at one of the groups. Mayhem always ensued

Oh you poor bugger! Read that, when they were trialling the 'field hospitals' as they dubbed them, to deal with routine scuffles/cuts/stitches etc. on Fri and Sat nights, they chose Union Street as the pilot scheme
