FFS, why do potential Recruits keep asking stupid questions about the Corps/RMR.
If your really considering joining the Royal Marines, wouldnt it be more beneficial to ask questions relevant to training. You know, things that might actually help you prepare for the course!!
Eyeballjon - if you want to "prepare yourself", stop posting fckn stupid questions on here and get your arse out training!!! If/when you pass the Commando Course, then you can worry about whether you will get to Skydive or not.
In answer to your question however NO, you will not learn to Skydive as a Bootneck (unless its an adventure training course or you join the Corps Skydive team).
ML's and the like attend the basic military Parachute course at RAF Brize Norton. This is the same course attended by members of the Parachute Regiment (remember Parachuting and Skydiving are two totally different things!!).
The only people with a requirement for Military freefall is UKSF, pathfinders etc.
