I just had my interview and it went extremely well. The questions were quite easy and my interviewer liked my responses. Thank you for your videos sir.
@@mmm-bi1my Hello. My interview was done virtually. I believe that that's how interviews are being done post covid. There's no dress code, but just make sure that you're in a well lit area and are audible. When you join the interview the interviewer would introduce himself and would let you know that he won't press the record button right away. He'll ask you a couple of questions, mostly about the physical aspects of the Royal Marines training, commando units and their roles and where they are based etc. If you get them wrong then he'd ask you to write them down and quickly mesmerize them so that you'll be able to answer them when he hits record. The rest of the questions would be quite easy and would be about you, your family members, your hobbies, your education, your qualifications etc. You'll also be asked about why you want to join the Royal Navy and especially the Royal Marines. After the interview the interviewer would tell you that he'd take a 20 minutes break and would ask you to join the interview after the given time to let you know whether you passed it or not. Keep in mind that the interview itself is very easy and it's harder to fail it than it is to pass. All the best for your interview.
I have my interview on the 3 rd of April and very nervous being a marine has been my passion since I was young I feel this video has helped tremendously thank you sir for these awesome videos
Hi Johnathan, good luck with your Royal Marines Interview - try not to be nervous. Just give it your best and display confidence. I'm sure you'll be fine. You have nothing to lose, so go for it :)
Passed my NSRT and have my interview booked for the 13th , good luck to anybody going through the recruitment process and thankyou for the help and information :)
Going to enlist straight after college, something I have always wanted to do. I started researching how much it takes to join the Royal Marines as soon as I got out of secondary. Not going to lie, It looks like a challenge, so I have been pushing myself into fitness and teambuilding activities more and more as of late. I'm not going to lie, as the time draws closer, the more anxious I get. But I'm certain if I hold my head up high, walk and speak with confidence, and give it my very all, then I'm very certain I will pass.

@@CareerVidz hey sir I m thinking to join marine however I m bad at study and theory test..what should I do to pass the written test any tips for that?
I really don't recall my interview, i recall the paper test at Liverpool, then the medical in the same building. Then I recall going on the PRMC. This was 97. I was 16 and wore school trousers and polo t-shirt.
@UC06vamPdWd3wHmIbfTyds3A bllody hell it was a long time ago. It was basic maths, English, and sort of similar to an iq test, which basically tests problem solving and spacial awareness. It wasn't just a RM paper, it was a standered navy paper, every non officer had to sit it. Depending on what roll you was applying for, deemed how well you had to. To join the marines you only needed a very low score, something like 35/40%, a sub mariner needing something like 90% to gain entry. I can't recall if it was multiple choice or not, I know at that time the army test was, but that was on a pc. I applied for both Paras and marines, I couldn't wait to leave home, which was shit.
hey mate I've applied to the marine reserves a couple of days ago, I'm 16, exceptionally fit but I have no idea what to do about the interview. I'm Manchester based too. Is it ok if I ask some questions?
Thanks this video was really helpful got my interview soon and honestly been a bit nervous but this has given me a little more hope and that’s just what I needed cheers 👍😁
Perfectly detailed video a huge thanks can not wait to get to my interview I’m seriously nervous but I got to go for it with my head held high and this video puts me at ease knowing I can confidently answer most of theses questions I know for a fact I’ll struggle with the teamwork questions as I’ve never really had cemented teamwork experiences but now feel I should go out there and start working with a team to get that experience behind me thank you sir.

Had my interview just now and this video was a massive help. The hardest question asked by the recruiter for me would have to have been when he said “So tell me about when you have been the least proud of yourself” that’s a tricky one to answer 🥴
BRAVO! I wish I had this very impressive Motivational Video!! I served in the U.S. Military over 26 years, training and Combat. I am still improving and self analysis self , serving with a purpose Training in a civilian based Operational forces forum. Thank you.

I'm 26 and I've been thinking about it on and off for years. I think I would like to be an officer but I'm not from a military family and everyone in the comments seems to already want it, whereas I'm interested just unsure. I could describe myself as an "amateur naval enthusiast". It seems like people who join the forces were born that way or grew up that way. I'm not sporty I've never done team sports but I've trained as a teacher, managed a sales team and taken on quite a bit extra in my current role. Basically I want someone to tell me if I have what it takes or not.
@@CareerVidzalso just wanna put that I very much struggle talking in such prim and high standard environments but with the guides and wording you used was able to sound like fkn James Bond 😂
Hey, good luck and focus on your goal. You can do it and become a Royal Marines Commando. If you need any further help or guidance, I recommend this: www.how2become.com/careers/royal-marines-commando/ Good luck! Richard
If the content of this video is correct recruitment has changed beyond all recognition from when I went through the recruitment process in 1979 - six weeks from walking into the RN/RM Careers Office in Glasgow to getting off the train at Lympstone Commando, no PRC just straight into training. OARMAARM
I’m currently in joining process for the Royal Marines I have my entry test soon but I have severe dyslexia would I get any help with reading in my test
Hey Robyn, thanks for posting your questions. Yes, I am sure you will get some help with the test. I recommend letting the Careers Advisor know beforehand and I believe you should get some extra time. I hope that helps. Cheers, Richard
Glad I found this video it will help me a lot to becoming an commando but I need to ask about that family question personally my family don’t want you to become a marine but I can’t see anything else as my future career I get up at 5 just to go gym and bout weights for home but I know my family still don’t want me to do it what should I do?
Hi, thanks for commenting. I think the important thing is to be honest in your reply. Tell the interviewer that your family doesn't want you to join and explain the reasons why. Tell the panel you have done all you can to reassure them, but at the end of the day you are an adult who has his/her own goals and ambitions and nobody is going to deter you from achieving your goal. Finish off by saying that you believe your family will eventually come round to supporting you, once you commence training and they see a positive difference in you. I hope this helps. Richard
@@CareerVidz Thank you for replying i was worried the panel would suggest not becoming a commando if my family wasn't behind me, especially since i'm trying for the officer role. Again thank you for the reply
I am not currently in a sports team but have spent most of my life in sports teams is it wise to state the fact that I am not currently in one but always have spent time in teams
My son age 18 has everything going for him for the Royal Marines in terms of fitness and mindset, everything you mention here. He’s strong positive confident and super keen. His best 1.5 mile run time is 8:06. He is strong in all the physical tests and all his health is great. But the only concern is that he has mild eczema on his hands and a bit in his elbows. Usually not visible and not on his medical record. His integrity is paramount to him and he does not want to lie. Does he still have a chance of getting in?
Hi there, thanks for posting and it sounds like your son has the potential to pass the selection process. My advice is to go for it and see what they say at the medical. I am sure it will be fine, but I recommend checking the medical requirements on the RN age below: www.royalnavy.mod.uk/careers/joining/get-ready-to-join/royal-marines-commando/am-i-eligible Like I say, my advice is for him to apply as he has nothing to lose! I hope that helps and good luck to your son. Cheers, Richard
And make sure you get rid of it before the medical. At the medical they check your elbows and knees. I have no doubt if they find some they will note it down and in many cases, rejection.
I'm an Australian training to join the Royal Marines, is it harder for commonwealth folks to join? My determination is significant, I was formerly Obese and lost all the weight and now i go to the gym and lift heavy weights trying to get strong as possible without any drugs, just whey, creatine and diet, am I doing something wrong? Should I prioritize cardio over weights or keep them in balance? Cheers.
Hi there, it's great you are looking to join! It's not harder for people from the commonwealth to join - you will need to meet the criteria detailed on the following page, but go for it with the same vigor and determination you are showing in your message. You don't necessarily have to lift heavy weights. Go for lighter weights with more reps, swim, use a rowing machine and do copious quantities of situps, press ups and burpees. Good luck. Here's the link: www.royalnavy.mod.uk/careers/joining/commonwealth-and-non-british/royal-marines Cheers, Richard
My interview is tomorrow , It’s a phone consultation due to coronavirus , I’ve done research about 10 memorable dates and about operational units and so on .Wondering if you have any last thoughts or specific areas I should nail . Thank you video is perfect 👌🏼

Hi I was wondering. It’s there a pass percentage you must achieve for the Royal Marines recruitment test which you take? And is it an over all score or are you passed on each subject?.
Hi Dom, you need to take the Royal Navy Recruiting Test and details are here: www.royalnavy.mod.uk/careers/joining/get-ready-to-join/practise-for-rt-test/reasoning The pass mark is dependent on what you are trying to join. There's also details on this website: www.how2become.com/careers/royal-marines-commando/ Cheers, Richard
CareerVidz yes thank you I’ve been practicing on the full Royal Marines test everyday now and I’ve hitting high scores. I’m also doing revision on there back ground. And the command units along with the values of a Royal Marine. Plus the top 10 memorable moments in the marines history.
I'm not sure as of to whether I should get a job after college but stay fit, or risk joining the Royal marines for a year or so after college, learn the necessary skills for life and then get a job. What do you guys think would be the best choice?
Hey! At the momment i am 14 years old and i've had the royal marines as an oppurtunity for me in the future on my mind for a while. I have a year and half left in school and i was wondering if you have any advice for me about getting ready for training. I understand that i am still young and i have plenty of growing left but i was wondering if you could give me any ideas on how to train but not too dangerously. Thanks and this video helped understand what the royal marines ask and what answers are relevant!
Hey, thanks for your comment and it's great you are thinking of joining the Royal Marines I think it's great that you are looking to prepare early on. As you quite rightly point out, I think it's important that you don't do anything dangerous. I recommend looking into running, swimming, press ups and also pull-ups. These will give you a good base for getting fitter! Make sure you have someone with you to guide and support you when you're taking part in these activities. Good luck and we are sure you will achieve your goal of becoming a Royal Marines Commando if you work hard.
Triggz hey I'm the exact same 14, and want to join the Royal Marines, I'm a lcpl in the Royal marine cadets it really gives you good experiences you should come down one day to you're local unit.
@@michaeltripitani1044 I'm also 14 and planning on joining when I'm 18 I'm going to start exercising more and working out more than usual so that when I'm 18 I'll be prepared for it
I am a Nigerian and would love to take this journey. I am currently going through my online application. I am fit and determined. I would like to know how while being in Nigeria I will be able to take the test , interview and medical test .
I have never really been apart of a team in sports as have always trained alone or kept to myself, aswell as this i have had an injury requiring surgery on my collarbone from a mountain biking incident ( which does not cause any problems since ) and ontop of this i wear glasses, would these effect my eligibility or will i be okay? All ive ever wanted to do was join the marines and i was in army cadets when i was younger and travelled to France for the D-Day 75th anniversary. I go to the gym every day aswell as working both Saturdays and Sundays as a Kitchen Porter/ chef and then have school all other 5 days of the week. I have also grown up without a father figure or any real male role models with two younger brothers who i felt responsibility to care for and so i feel i am very mature for my age. I am in my first year of sixth form and am hoping to join when ive finished my A-Levels.
Very informative video. How many times a year do the marines recruit? I am a British citizen living in republic of Ireland. Would this fact hinder my chances?
@@CareerVidz I was wondering when you ask a young man why he wanted to join the Royal Marines.. if you were looking for a generic PC answer or an honest answer. I am way too old to join. But if I could, I'd say : Serve Her Majesty and kill her enemies. Would that be an instant fail ?
Thank you so much. Worth mentioning to anyone reading that the RMC currently take 1 in 8 applicants! I'm mentoring a 13 year old who wants to get in, but won't if he carries on in the same vein as he has, so this is gold dust. 👍
I believe the requirement to be an officer is 96 ucas points. I have heard that if someone has 196 they don’t need A-levels or GCSEs . I currently am doing math and English gcse and will be learning french until fluent. Could you confirm any of this?
I am not sure myself, but hopefully someone here can confirm whether that is correct or not. You can also contact here to get confirmation quickly: www.royalnavy.mod.uk/careers/royal-marines/what-can-i-do/royal-marines-commando
I’m old enough to join in August and have already been to the careers office talking about my career in the Royal Marines and I have noticed in this video that the answers to the questions are mainly based around the training side and not the full nature of the job. I was wondering if I should mention that I’m joining to make England a Safer place and free from terror and not touch on the subject of training so much (even though I know the thirty two weeks of training will be hell) please help me out with any information you have that could help me and others with answering the questions truthfully
Hi Sam, you could say that if you want to but remember the Royal Marines do so much more than that. I personally think the training is an important aspect of the role to discuss at the interview. More information can be found here: www.how2become.com/royal-marines-interview/
For the family circumstances part: I don't have a particularly good relationship with my parents. They probably wouldn't fully condone any career choice of mine and especially not the infantry. If I'm asked about it should I be honest or evasive?
Hi Lee, my advice is to start taking swimming lessons. Which county in the UK are you based and I will send you some details of where to start learning?
Hi Sudeep, yes I believe you will have to. Full details on the Royal Marines selection process, including fitness test can be found here: www.how2become.com/careers/royal-marines-commando/ Good luck! Richard
I got a selection Test on Tuesday. I hope that I can get it. If for the difficult task question should I mention that I am a 3 time cancer survivor? Or should I not talk about that for fear of trying to get them to pity me?
Joe Johnson went well thank you he only asked a couple questions about sports but more about other times in life where I’ve had to work as a team I feel like he just asks about sports because it easy to answer (if you’ve played sports before) but I wouldn’t worry too much I’d just stress mostly about knowing your six modules of training and corps history 👍
I would personally go and do some structured physical activity and try and win something - you could go and work in a charity shop which would show good values too.

To join the marines you only needed a very low score, something like 35/40%, a sub mariner needing something like 90% to gain entry.
I can't recall if it was multiple choice or not, I know at that time the army test was, but that was on a pc. I applied for both Paras and marines, I couldn't wait to leave home, which was shit.
hey mate I've applied to the marine reserves a couple of days ago, I'm 16, exceptionally fit but I have no idea what to do about the interview. I'm Manchester based too. Is it ok if I ask some questions?
Thanks this video was really helpful got my interview soon and honestly been a bit nervous but this has given me a little more hope and that’s just what I needed cheers 👍😁
You are most welcome and I hope you do well! Go for it and be confident :)
Perfectly detailed video a huge thanks can not wait to get to my interview I’m seriously nervous but I got to go for it with my head held high and this video puts me at ease knowing I can confidently answer most of theses questions I know for a fact I’ll struggle with the teamwork questions as I’ve never really had cemented teamwork experiences but now feel I should go out there and start working with a team to get that experience behind me thank you sir.
Thanks!

I'm 26 and I've been thinking about it on and off for years. I think I would like to be an officer but I'm not from a military family and everyone in the comments seems to already want it, whereas I'm interested just unsure. I could describe myself as an "amateur naval enthusiast". It seems like people who join the forces were born that way or grew up that way. I'm not sporty I've never done team sports but I've trained as a teacher, managed a sales team and taken on quite a bit extra in my current role.
Basically I want someone to tell me if I have what it takes or not.
Well I will let you know something tim. The Royal Marines takes on all walks of life
enthusiasm, high standards and persistence will show through.
Got my interview for RMR in 5 weeks. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I’m currently in joining process for the Royal Marines I have my entry test soon but I have severe dyslexia would I get any help with reading in my test
Hey Robyn, thanks for posting your questions. Yes, I am sure you will get some help with the test. I recommend letting the Careers Advisor know beforehand and I believe you should get some extra time. I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Richard
Glad I found this video it will help me a lot to becoming an commando but I need to ask about that family question personally my family don’t want you to become a marine but I can’t see anything else as my future career I get up at 5 just to go gym and bout weights for home but I know my family still don’t want me to do it what should I do?
Hi, thanks for commenting. I think the important thing is to be honest in your reply. Tell the interviewer that your family doesn't want you to join and explain the reasons why. Tell the panel you have done all you can to reassure them, but at the end of the day you are an adult who has his/her own goals and ambitions and nobody is going to deter you from achieving your goal. Finish off by saying that you believe your family will eventually come round to supporting you, once you commence training and they see a positive difference in you.
I hope this helps.
Richard
@@CareerVidz Thank you for replying i was worried the panel would suggest not becoming a commando if my family wasn't behind me, especially since i'm trying for the officer role. Again thank you for the reply

Yes you can say this :)
My son age 18 has everything going for him for the Royal Marines in terms of fitness and mindset, everything you mention here. He’s strong positive confident and super keen. His best 1.5 mile run time is 8:06. He is strong in all the physical tests and all his health is great. But the only concern is that he has mild eczema on his hands and a bit in his elbows. Usually not visible and not on his medical record. His integrity is paramount to him and he does not want to lie. Does he still have a chance of getting in?
Hi there, thanks for posting and it sounds like your son has the potential to pass the selection process. My advice is to go for it and see what they say at the medical. I am sure it will be fine, but I recommend checking the medical requirements on the RN age below: www.royalnavy.mod.uk/careers/joining/get-ready-to-join/royal-marines-commando/am-i-eligible
Like I say, my advice is for him to apply as he has nothing to lose!
I hope that helps and good luck to your son.
Cheers,
Richard
CareerVidz thanks so much for this encouragement. Really appreciate it.
If he says he has eczema, he will get rejected. Don't tell them. What does he want more - the green lid or his "integrity"?
And make sure you get rid of it before the medical. At the medical they check your elbows and knees. I have no doubt if they find some they will note it down and in many cases, rejection.
@@Adam-eu8hm Yeah. Encouraging lying from the offset. Good effort.
I'm an Australian training to join the Royal Marines, is it harder for commonwealth folks to join? My determination is significant, I was formerly Obese and lost all the weight and now i go to the gym and lift heavy weights trying to get strong as possible without any drugs, just whey, creatine and diet, am I doing something wrong? Should I prioritize cardio over weights or keep them in balance? Cheers.
Hi there, it's great you are looking to join! It's not harder for people from the commonwealth to join - you will need to meet the criteria detailed on the following page, but go for it with the same vigor and determination you are showing in your message. You don't necessarily have to lift heavy weights. Go for lighter weights with more reps, swim, use a rowing machine and do copious quantities of situps, press ups and burpees. Good luck.

Hi I was wondering. It’s there a pass percentage you must achieve for the Royal Marines recruitment test which you take? And is it an over all score or are you passed on each subject?.
Hi Dom, you need to take the Royal Navy Recruiting Test and details are here:

I'm not sure as of to whether I should get a job after college but stay fit, or risk joining the Royal marines for a year or so after college, learn the necessary skills for life and then get a job. What do you guys think would be the best choice?

Hey! At the momment i am 14 years old and i've had the royal marines as an oppurtunity for me in the future on my mind for a while. I have a year and half left in school and i was wondering if you have any advice for me about getting ready for training. I understand that i am still young and i have plenty of growing left but i was wondering if you could give me any ideas on how to train but not too dangerously. Thanks and this video helped understand what the royal marines ask and what answers are relevant!
Hey, thanks for your comment and it's great you are thinking of joining the Royal Marines I think it's great that you are looking to prepare early on. As you quite rightly point out, I think it's important that you don't do anything dangerous. I recommend looking into running, swimming, press ups and also pull-ups. These will give you a good base for getting fitter! Make sure you have someone with you to guide and support you when you're taking part in these activities. Good luck and we are sure you will achieve your goal of becoming a Royal Marines Commando if you work hard.
@@CareerVidz Tank you for the advice. I will make sure i consider all of these in the future for my training!

Hi, sure thing... here is some information for you: www.how2become.com/blog/join-the-royal-navy-as-a-commonwealth-citizen/
I have a day in palace barracks on Friday what should I prepare for
I have never really been apart of a team in sports as have always trained alone or kept to myself, aswell as this i have had an injury requiring surgery on my collarbone from a mountain biking incident ( which does not cause any problems since ) and ontop of this i wear glasses, would these effect my eligibility or will i be okay? All ive ever wanted to do was join the marines and i was in army cadets when i was younger and travelled to France for the D-Day 75th anniversary. I go to the gym every day aswell as working both Saturdays and Sundays as a Kitchen Porter/ chef and then have school all other 5 days of the week. I have also grown up without a father figure or any real male role models with two younger brothers who i felt responsibility to care for and so i feel i am very mature for my age. I am in my first year of sixth form and am hoping to join when ive finished my A-Levels.
Just go for it... don't worry
Very informative video. How many times a year do the marines recruit? I am a British citizen living in republic of Ireland. Would this fact hinder my chances?
Serve Her Majesty, defend the Realm. ( can't print the non PC version ) ?
Confused, sorry?
@@CareerVidz
I was wondering when you ask a young man why he wanted to join the Royal Marines.. if you were looking for a generic PC answer or an honest answer.
I am way too old to join. But if I could, I'd say :
Serve Her Majesty and kill her enemies.
Would that be an instant fail ?
Thank you so much. Worth mentioning to anyone reading that the RMC currently take 1 in 8 applicants! I'm mentoring a 13 year old who wants to get in, but won't if he carries on in the same vein as he has, so this is gold dust. 👍
Glad it helps! And thanks for sharing the info!
I believe the requirement to be an officer is 96 ucas points. I have heard that if someone has 196 they don’t need A-levels or GCSEs . I currently am doing math and English gcse and will be learning french until fluent.
Could you confirm any of this?
I am not sure myself, but hopefully someone here can confirm whether that is correct or not. You can also contact here to get confirmation quickly: www.royalnavy.mod.uk/careers/royal-marines/what-can-i-do/royal-marines-commando
I’m old enough to join in August and have already been to the careers office talking about my career in the Royal Marines and I have noticed in this video that the answers to the questions are mainly based around the training side and not the full nature of the job. I was wondering if I should mention that I’m joining to make England a Safer place and free from terror and not touch on the subject of training so much (even though I know the thirty two weeks of training will be hell) please help me out with any information you have that could help me and others with answering the questions truthfully
Hi Sam, you could say that if you want to but remember the Royal Marines do so much more than that. I personally think the training is an important aspect of the role to discuss at the interview. More information can be found here: www.how2become.com/royal-marines-interview/
For the family circumstances part: I don't have a particularly good relationship with my parents. They probably wouldn't fully condone any career choice of mine and especially not the infantry. If I'm asked about it should I be honest or evasive?
Be honest - honesty is the best policy... always! :)
I want to join the marines but i can’t really swim what should I do
Hi Lee, my advice is to start taking swimming lessons. Which county in the UK are you based and I will send you some details of where to start learning?
Does one need to bring their own Shoes during Physical Test ?
Hi Sudeep, yes I believe you will have to.

Should I be worried about my interview as I have never really taken part in sports teams or had many experiences in my past?
I have my interview Friday I shall let you know
Jacob Daniels how did it go?
Joe Johnson went well thank you he only asked a couple questions about sports but more about other times in life where I’ve had to work as a team I feel like he just asks about sports because it easy to answer (if you’ve played sports before) but I wouldn’t worry too much I’d just stress mostly about knowing your six modules of training and corps history 👍
Jacob Daniels thanks a lot for letting me know, best of luck
Joe Johnson same goes to you mate 👍
What if you have no previous achievements to say of haven’t done many physical activities
I would personally go and do some structured physical activity and try and win something - you could go and work in a charity shop which would show good values too.
You could still apply and just see what they say - nothing to lose!
