Born Hunter 17,763 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 ..... and if I was to be a pedantic twat, lol, I'd point out that the Commandos are only 70 years old, the Marine Corps itself is 350yrs old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Win 79 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Their was a documentry on recently about them and the training the young recruits go threw, i was out of breat just watching it lol.

Its_grim_up_norf 577 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Watch commando: on the front line and the 50 year old commando. That new documentary wasn't very accurate. But as before with the 99.9% need not apply advert that actually made recruitment numbers go down, they can't show you what it's really like as nobody would apply Quote Link to post Share on other sites

More harsh ect? I suppose with the cameras being their and the whole of britian watching, they have to watch what they do and say, although it would not be easy i would think?
