what made me realise i want to join after college is when I saw a vid about the 30 miler and a couple miles before the end they went into a forest to get their shit together so when they finally pass the finish line its like absolutely nothing touched them and it was a walk in the park

I was in the RMR and failed the 9 miler. I could not believe the pace that was set from the word go. Stil... Proud to have tried.

Same. I managed most of the Endurance course, the tunnels etc, but the "Speed March" did for me. Mind you, I was RNR (List One) doing a stint at BRNC Dartmouth, rather than a Green Machine candidate, so I was neither surprised nor embarrassed by my failure. My now grown up son's were impressed that I'd even attempted it when they found out!

Marching back to the 'grots' after the 9-miler felt better than the pass-out parade. The fact the trained ranks and officers clap you in felt really special. Plus, I knew I only had three tests left and I thought the 9-miler was by far the hardest.

I remember my first nine miler. The easiest of the commando tests. Years later, as an instructor I completed four more with my recruit troops. The endurance course was the hardest for me. Claustrophobia made the tunnels a bloody nightmare. If it was all easy, it wouldn't be worth doing.

thank you for gave training to GGK in the 60's. Now they became 1 of the best commandos in south east asia.

Holy cow! Most people can never appreciate how hard this is.

at pirbright in the 70s , we done what we called the march and shoot . 3 miles , all run over rough terrain . over the assault course , 1 mile long and then a scored shoot at the end on the range . all with 56lb and full webbing . it was bloody tough , but worth while . big respect to the marines though . they are very good .

Total respect for the Royal Marines. Finest in the World.

Great stuff, very inspirational. Fit, strong focused on the task. We all need that.

In the RAF we had a 1.5 mile run in under 13 minutes for the men. I used to try and take the piss out of the marines, until I researched their training. I then had a bit more respect for them. I done press ups with one of them this was in my late forties, I collapsed after five, while he was on one arm waiting for me to catch up. I tried planking the other day for a minute, as I was watching some youtube videos, sadly I lasted 47 seconds, but I am in my 50's now. I was an air frames tech and used to work with a lot of chemicals, it has caused quite a few of us to be old and knackered in our old age, but the thing that I hated most about the RAF was that they stopped PT once you had passed out into the real man's force. We had SGT's who could not even tie up their own shoe lace without getting out of breath. Hell a lot of them could not even see their dicks as their bellies were that fat. If you had a nine miler in the RAF, I don't think a lot of us would has passed out, well we would have passed out, but on the floor.

In the Finnish school institution from grades 7-9 and then in the military, we use a cooper test... 12minutes of continuos running.... The standard is to reach as far as you can.... ...most run over 1,5km and usually get above 2,5km in my school days +3km wasn't abnormal, and in the military +3km was the norm.... Mine was due to recent medical problems only 2,7km in 12 minutes and 3,1km at the end of the conscription period....

I was a Drill Instructor - I was with the Royal Army Dental Corps. We even made Marines nervous. Fancy a weeks drilling with us? Our Motto? Ex Dentibus Ensis; (from the teeth a sword) Unofficial Motto? We make the Strongest Quake.

I just got back from vacation and I'm exhausted. Drove from Colorado to Michigan and then watched this video! I'm going to get into better cardiovascular shape. I'm strong but im to big. Time to get a little more serious! Thanks for the video.

I remember doing this at aged 15! (Work experience) way back in 1981 for 5 days. Completed the 9 mile endurance course at woodbury common, done the tarzan course, indoor rock climbing and best of all indoor firing range using live ammo with the 7.62 automatic rifle. Imagine that now! Health and safety and all that nonsense would have a field day. I absolutely loved it.
