What you would do
Could you become part of the world’s most elite amphibious force and wear the coveted green beret? It’s not for everybody, that’s for sure. Digging deep to aim high, you’ll stop for nothing. In the most hostile environments, and on the most treacherous terrain.
Day to day
There’s no such thing as an average day in the Royal Marines, and there’s no such thing as an average Commando. You’ll need to be exceptional just like the rest of your team, with the same ethos – and the same state of mind.
- Play a key role in dealing with manmade, humanitarian and naturally occurring crises

- Deploy to where you’re needed most, from the coldest climes and the hottest deserts, to the most hostile jungles and the highest mountains
- Whatever challenges you face, you’ll need to adapt to get the job done
- Develop your military skills, before selecting a specialisation to become anything from an Armourer to a Mountain Leader
- Travel the world, protecting your nation’s interests as part of a team renowned for its unity and brotherhood
