Yup, you read that right. The Royal Marines have their very own channel on YouTube.
The new channel is targeted at potential Royal Marines recruits – young men with an interest in serving with the armed forces and who want to learn more about life in the Royal Marines.
.... features four sections – RMC Training, Extreme VS Marines, State of Mind, and Ambush and Assault. Each section showcases a host of rich video content, bringing to life the Royal Marines' state of mind – the ethos which sets the Royal Navy's amphibious forces apart from any other armed forces.
The videos will be reviewed monthly, with fresh new content and training videos added on a regular basis. An additional section featuring exclusive interviews with serving Royal Marines will be added to the channel in May.
I've watched several so far (like this one, a mud run! Royal only had to go through this once during training. It's super tough). There is some really interesting stuff, take a look when you get some time!
I remember watching a lot of this when my grand-son was contemplating an army career.
Sadly he couldn't take it but at least is now employed - fingers crossed.
