Title: Attn: Head Hunter Six.
Post by: Purple Aki on April 26, 2008, 12:22:56 PM

You probably don't remember, but a couple of months ago I told you I was planning on joining the Royal Marines. Well, I passed the four day Potential Royal Marine Course yesterday and go to the recruiting centre next week to arrange my joining date for the Commando Course.

So hopefully I shall start training after I graduate from university in June, and with any luck I should have my green beret eight months after that.

After being told all about the course by the N.C.O's and recruits, it's fair to say I'm getting a little bit nervous.

Congrats and good luck.
Nothing is as ever hard as it seems, remember pain is temporary, and obstacles don't define you, only help you to achieve a greater sense of self.

Can't say I've really thought about it, mate.

Commando course looks unpleasant enough at the moment.
