green lids for submariners?

[pjmliverpool]

Is it possible to go for the all arms (commando) course and get a "green lid" when you are a submariner?

Can anyone tell me?

 

[dhoby_bucket]

Not that I'm aware of. Why would a sundodger be required to have a green lid??? Try being an ex sundodger to get one. There are some ex sundodger MAs around who then done the AAC to serve with the booties..

Yes, but I don't know much about it or how you do it. It can be done, I've meet a few that have a green lid.

I echo what dhoby says. The AAC is hard enough to get on as it is, I cannot see the Navy paying for a Submariner to go on it! And why on earth would you need to?

I must admit that it is difficult to see the service need, boats deliver booties, they don't play with them.

At least 1 ex (R) ex submariner MA has been Green lidded as have lots of other RN skimmer medics.

Is this question something to do with some sort of super kudos hunt? Wanting to be a member of two elite organisations at once seems to be stretching the imagination a wee bit methinks.

The two that I’ve met, one was an CPOMA who was attached to the RM before ending up in S/Ms and the other did err, some interesting duties at some point in his career.

Possibly MAs, doctors and bish's.

You don’t routinely get bish’s on boats.

True but they do tend to be bashed a bit :shock: :shock: :wink:

Exactly, a serving submariner isn't going to get a course.
