Thought i would get a topic started on the advantages and disadvantages of a carear in the royal marines. Obviously im not entitled or wise enough to know many but was thinking some of the older lot or people currently going through the process could give their thoughts.
Advantages
Joining An Elite Fighting Force
Gain experiances you would never have in civvie street.
Get taught how to fend for yourself so to speak
Chance to pass one of the hardest training in the world
Meet a bunch of quality mates
And of course ..... behead a chicken
Disadvantages
Low pay ( in my opinion Royal Marines should earn more especailly when you compare it to RAF wages)
Thats as far as my knowledge stretches theres alot more advantages i can think of but i ll leave that for the rest to pop in.
