Since I was a kid, I wanted to be a soldier in the Army or Royal Marines. However it developed more recently that they will not allow me to even start training due to medical reasons. I will never be a Commando. However, I now take this as a metaphor for the struggle for the choices I have now made to be successful in my life choices. The Commando course is one of the most demanding courses there are, but so can education and the struggle to make it in the professional world.
I can relate to this, I can probably join but I have underlying injuries that may flare up using heavy kit. Try starting a martial arts club and challenging your self. You can still become a civilian beast don't give up
I trained as an Infantry soldier, (69/70) thought that was hard. Realise now I was on a picknick compared to what these guyes go through. Well done the lads.
I was in the US Army as an infantryman, and you're right, the RMC endure some really hardcore training. Much respect to the RMC and the British military in general. It's a very good thing that our countries stopped fighting each other. We were the deciding factor in both world wars.
@@thatguy22441 Thank you for your positive comments from someone who had a taste of RMC training as a recruit at Lympstone back in the mid 80s when I assure you the training teams were a lot less approachable,and far more brutal to us than in this TV show. US Army Rangers are excellent soldiers(very fit and hard as nails)and are similar to RMCs(goes back to WW2 when your brave men came over here to our rescue which should never be forgotten). US Airborne,Marines and many other top tier US military units are superb and you don’t need me to tell you their training is also very hard and brutal. I’m so glad our two countries patched things up after that falling out hundreds of years ago. You have a great country with an excellent military…oh and US equipment is awesome…Chinooks,Hueys,Cobras,etc etc.The list is endless.
Chris Terrill is one heck of a documentary maker. Had the pleasure of meeting him in 2018 while he was doing the "Britain's Biggest Warship" documentary.
i would say that past and present royal marine commandos only have the right to judge terry and civvies shouldnt say that a nine miler is easy because the have not completed it before
Absolutely right. As a fully confirmed civvy, and even as a pretty fit bloke, these guys are in a different league...a different species of human being, even.
It's pretty tough but a 4 mile run/speed walk isn't "a different species level" It's pretty clear terry had an injury or hadn't been using the gym correctly. He tried hard
@@cubeh8331 it really aint at that speed. their body are also smashed from all the other activities. its not like they wake up after lots of sleep and food to go a nice run. nope. Also they have added weight.
I'm sad for him, he seem nice but I wouldn't want someone like him with me in difficult situations. He changes mood and gets discourage too often. You want someone more constant that wont slow you down.
He's fecking Bette Davis!!! And the award for Best Actress in a camouflage Outfit goes to ... Why was he crying? Why couldnt he run, was his pink knickers too tight? Fooking can't believe the crying bellend ... "oh no sargent ... no!! ... sob, sob, sob". Fooking good job I wasn't there or I'd have shot the emotional little tw@t... Sgt.

"" [sound of rifle shot: BANG!] Recruit Terry: "... eeeee ................................................ "
He had compartment syndrome. It's a medical condition that prevents his muscles contracting in the affected area. It's a wonder he made it that far, and is actually a testament to how well he performed.
I didn't. Personally, I liked the kid Terry, but cannot help feel that he was inserted in there as a cheap gimmick, unbeknownst to him. "Young black kid wanted to leave the day he joined, but he's thriving under the control of whitey, and now he's showing the natives how it is done". Too bad.
Terry was an amazing spirit and I read below that he still joined the royal engineers and did his service. Great effort here and I'm sure you were an asset and still are to your troop
He became a sapper. That's also quite elite. What sappers do is go out ahead of the main force and look for booby traps, mines, etc. and make sure the infantry can get through. Sappers are basically demolitions/explosive experts who are also infiltrators.
@@MrBikboi Go through RMC recruit training, and you'll probably have a lot of the same complaints. A lot of guys in my Basic Training (US Army term or what is more commonly known as "Boot Camp"), and EVERYONE complained a lot. US Army Basic is a fraction of what RMC recruits endure. Most people in that situation become philosophical and start questioning everything that landed them in that predicament.
It says a lot that these guys are able to basically destroy themselves and fail by a whisker, then the following day do it all over again. That's true determination and there is no way I could ever muster that. Even during my time in the Army reserves I'd probably have said "eff it". Terry gave it everything and he is genuinely gutted, I feel so bad.
The number of times I ended up in the back of that f-in wagon. 36yrs later and it still feels like yesterday. The pain of not making your dream never leaves you.
Mackenzie Rand Are you in the Army? Should you really say that? 101PublicEnemy is more of a man than you'll ever be and you are too afraid to admit it so you are trying to blame him for nothing. So shut up.
I can't imagine being a 22-year-old lieutenant fresh out of training having to lead a platoon into actual combat. I mean, a little over one year ago you were at uni getting a BSc (I believe Bertie studied Philosophy and Economics based on his Linkedn profile), and now you are going to war with the additional responsibility of actually leading men. It is surreal.
That's probably why potential Royal Marines officers do a 64 week course. Unlike Sandhurst, Cranwell or Dartmouth all officers of the Royal Marines are based at Lympstone does it make them better than the other services I don't know but I can imagine that they aer 'grouded ' alot more .
i think beside the life in getto, be strong and allow the true spirit of real soldier to cover you,coz everything is possible for those who believe, go for it...
+zone angel Yeah, I read the story - apparently a former marine was flying and attempted a loop too close to the ground. He survived, Rogers was a passenger and didn't make it. Sad loss.
It's a kick in the slats when you get back trooped. I got back trooped twice in basic training - on one occasion going from week 13 all the way back to start with another troop at week 4. Didn't make it in the end but went on and joined the French Foreign Legion - which was nowhere near as hard physically. I also served 4 years in the RAF Regt - and by the end of basic training was fitter in there than I ever was in either the Royal Marines or the Legion. Still Corps pissed though and have many Royal Marine oppos from those days back in the 80's. It is indeed a family like no other.
I was in the Scots guards and in basic there was a lad in the Coldstream who did three years in the foreign legion and went awol, he said the guards depot was tougher than the legion because of all the bullshit.
I didn't see him barf or faint . . . ah but as I see in Episode 5, the young man had very reasonable medical reasons why the run was not doable. Poor fellow. Hopefully he did well in the alternate military role he followed.
It's 21 years since I passed training, but I do remember there were always a handful of young officer recruits from the various Caribbean defence forces at Commando Training Centre - I think it had something to do with raising standards back in their respective regiments. Anyway, the chap you’re referring to isn't a Royal Marine, hence the different 'rig' (uniform); but will have successfully completed training, and so does get to wear the green beret.
Before entering Marine training, one should train as an athlete first. Then training would not be so difficult. It's eye-opening to see all they go through. May the good Lord continue to bless and keep them.
Pity you Brother Terry, one Love.I love this Royal Marine Commando,it's Remind me my Late Father who was G.A.F Commander 1996 He Was Shoot Dead by Helping this fucking m war's There is no Ending.
It’s becuase the further through the course you get the more you’ve proven yourself and the more they actually respect you that’s how it is with most militaries I would hope otherwise all the others don’t stand a chance😁
Let’s face it, no ones gonna pass the re-run the DAY AFTER the first try, their bodies will be fucked, give them 2 days rest to properly recover and they’d smash it, the next day is waaay too soon their muscles fibres won’t have healed at all.....but of course it’s obviously done to simulate real situation, you ain’t getting rest days on operations.
It’s actually more to do with the training rota and the fact that it’s usually planned out so that it is either pass or fail, that’s why the next morning its the re test because that’s the only time they can do it again.
who ever hates on the soldiers ur wrong would you sign up to be a royal marine to risk your life for your country probaly not so before you comment think about what you say
Terry was a great man. Sadly his moodswings didn't help him. In war you do sadly see your friends go, buy you need to continue and can't dwell on it, needing to continue to shoot/make contact. He got in the royal engineerers
Ever realise that people who get half- way through training and then fail, are still pretty good soldiers and deadly fighters? If you think about it they've spent like 4 months commando training they could probably operate guns accurately and kill with their bare hands hahha
20-41: And so they march off to face - who knows what?! Suffice it to say, our valiant politicians who sent/send them off to face that future will - in most cases - not have faced such a life with all its threats themselves!
Terry was a good guy but he's not cut out for infantry. He came into training unmotivated and developed artificial motivation over the months of training, but anyone whose been in the military knows that's not enough. Your instructors aren't going to be there when you deploy. I've seen others get rolled back in training and it's sad but honestly if you can't do a 4 mile jog with 30-35 pounds of gear you shouldn't be in the Royal Marines. The Royals marched 70+ miles with a far heavier kit in the falklands under the stress of war, lack of sleep and nutrition, that's why those training runs truly are mental. You are always capable of way more than you think. Terry said he would need to get badly injured to quit and that simply wasn't true and that's why he did not deserve to graduate with the troop.
I was a Terry Johns character during my commando course, I quit 1 month towards pass out after going through hell and shit. I am still serving in the army though.
Terry seems like a very likeable guy who has a good degree of wisdom on his shoulders. I wish him all the best.
Terry passed the all arms commando course after joining the royal engineers, so he finally got his commando status! 💪🏻
How did you find this out?
How do u know ??
I hope what you are saying is true.
As a WAFU I worked and trained with the Booties in Norway. A fabulous bunch of guys to be sure.

So sad to hear Orlando died not long after this, was an absolute machine and despite how tough he was with the recruits he seemed a good bloke. RIP

Was he killed in action?
No, in a stupid accident which wasn’t his fault.
