Are you fit enough to join the Royal Marines?

[squigader]

I'm 32 and yep I could pass it now. Spent plenty of time with them, and ROK Marines also.

Anyways, think thats impressive, go look up the requirements for RIP. Not entirely sure I would be able to do them right this second but give me a couple months and I could easily be there.

I mean really thats a 3 mile run in 22.5 minutes. Pogues in the Corps can make that easily. 60 pushups and 80 situps in 2 min each is a joke. Thats borderline min standards, and only 6 pull ups after? Lol.

Sorry but all the RoyMars I know would laugh at that also. If you can't do those, you're either A: Overly huge and should just be a MachineGunner and hump around a .50 all day, or a out of shape useless POS that deserves to be in that crappy office job with fat, ugly secretaries.

Yeah, I think those are the requirements just to enlist.

Entrance requirements for elite units are never as difficult as they should be. But after you meet those requirements they only get harder. Its staying in once you're accepted that is the real challenge.

I think that's just to pass as a potential recruit. There are or was 18 yrs ago two other blocks before you got the green beret. I never got it as I got diabetes in between that put an end to it

Probably can't speak to the running, but at the Arnold where the USMC has a "boot camp booth" w/ a pull-up bar, the last time I watched, it was a 5-6 yr old little gymast girl who was kicking all the big boys' asses in bodywt pullups.

Are you fit enough to join the Royal Marines?
Ever dreamed of night-time boat assaults on an enemy beach? See if you could pass the Royal Marines entrance fitness test.

The basic test is:
- do a 1.5 mile run in under 12.5mins
- 1 minute rest
- do a second 1.5 mile run in under 10.5mins

Then a gym test:
- press-ups in 2 mins (min target: 60)
- 2 mins rest
- sit-ups in 2 mins (min target: 80)
- 2 mins rest
- as many pull-ups as you can do without letting go (min target: 6)

There's also a bleep test and assault course, but we'll let you feeble civilians off for now.

Any score greater than 0 - congratulations, expect a call from the Marines any moment now.

Less than 0 - well, your score says it all! Work hard, work fast, work-out!
