The Royal Marines Commando are people who do battle using submarines on the sea. You can join the Royal Marines Commando through their website RoyalNavy dot com.

Tough question, and not designed to improve Anglo-American relations, so I'll have a Walfdorf Salad and say that both are very tough, and I would not want to get on the bad side of either. The US Marines are a much larger unit than the UK Royal Marines, but the US is a much larger country, so it may come out much the same in terms of individual toughness.

Depending on the severity of the offence that was committed and how much time has elapsed since the last offence would be critical with an application.

The law in Britain is that the royal naval service must follow in the same process of a civilian organisation. The processing of an applicant it is as follows, the rehabilitation of offenders act 1974 states that you must declare all criminal(UNSPENT) convictions that have gone through a court service,

this act also states that from the time of the offender has been sentenced a rehabilitation period will be given for example:

A fine that has been given to offender through the courts ,this is 5 years rehabilitation period, there are more stringent periods for custodial sentences.

Here is site's to look at: www.unlock.org.uk ,nacro.org.uk

unlock and narco will give very detailed information on rehabilitation periods.

currently there is a reform in progress of the rehabilitation of offenders act 1974 to change the length of the rehabilitation periods. also updates of were the bills next date announcement will be in parliament.so keep an eye on unlock the website that is listed above.

But in terms of finding out whether or not you can join is solely up to your royal marines local career advisor on this issue. Also some cases of extraordinary circumstance a criminal waiver application can be processed but only this can be decided by the careers officer and you will have no right to ask of this, it will be to the careers advisors desecration and must then be passed on a higher level. This will also be of interest-

br3 naval personnel management June 2013 edition, chapter 7, section 0737,

part (f)this will give you more insight to matter, input this into Google search and should come up.

I wish everyone the best of luck.

The Globe. Granted by King George IV in "1827" in place of the One Hundred and Nine Battle Honours which the Marines Honourably earned. The LAURELS were granted for the gallentry dispalyed by the Marines in the capture of Belle Isle in 1761

Royal Navy Lt Cmr's wear three rings (two full with a skinny one in the middle) Royal Marines dont use naval ranks but use army ranks, so a Lt Cmr would be a Major and carry a crown on his uniform :)

To join the Royal Navy you only need to be 16 for most trades. The exceptions are: * medical assistants, dental surgery assistants and dental hygienists (17) * divers (18) * student naval nurses (17 years, 6 months) * direct entry registered general nurses (21).

Per Mare Per Terram ("By Sea, By Land"), the motto of the Marines, is believed to have been used for the first time in 1775.

once you have been tested clear of it then yes

It's a complete myth that Prince Edward was thrown out of the Royal Marines. In fact, he was half way through the Officers' training course, and coping perfectly well (I know - my cousin was in the same training batch), but decided that it was not for him, and applied for discharge from training on "personal grounds", as he - like any other trainee - was entitled to do. After the normal "cooling off" period for reflection and discussion/ counselling with the Chief Training Officer (again, absolutely standard under such circumstances) he was allowed to leave on "voluntary release from training". This is not uncommon: some young potential officers realise after completing some of the very demanding training that life in the RM is just not for them, and the Corps will not generally try to retain them - what would be the point? To force reluctant people through the course would be counterproductive, and if their motivation is lacking it's unlikely in any case that they'd complete the course!

Many rumours - some nefarious - have abounded about why Prince Edward dropped out. Truth is, he just did not want it - simple. He was a very fit young man possessing good communication and leadership skills, and intelligent, thoughtful, and well educated (respectable degree from Cambridge), and there's little doubt that had he remained motivated he'd have passed, and passed well, to receive a commission in the Royal Marines. The Royal Marines would have loved to have him in their ranks for a few years, but sadly he decided that they were not for him. There was no more to it than that - a young man took a wrong career turn (possibly paternal pressure had pushed him that way - again, not uncommon), and he had the courage to accept that he was a "square peg in a round hole" and leave, rather than continue with something he hated just to live up to the expectations of others. Given the spotlight he was under, and the inevitable criticism, press speculation, rumours etc that would follow, it was a courageous decision. As he noted himself, "the Marines who would have been under my command deserve nothing less than the full commitment of their leaders, something I felt unable to give." Fair one. Certainly, most people in the Corps at the time respected him for his honesty.

To protect the Royal Navy's ships on operations agains CQB situations and to aid the navy in piracy and smuggling.

They are used to assult in sea to land/land to sea combat.

In places like Aufghanistan, theey are an elite force of shock troops that are used for hit and run tactics.

As far as i am aware there were no Royal Marines on board ships or protecting civilians, forts,routes, shipping lanes & cargo from the UK to America, India etc during 18th & 19th Centuries.

However there is substantial proof & evidence that regiments of the Coldstream Guards from the Brigade of Guards were undertaking all the duties as stated above well beyond the 19th Century, until the Royal Marines were formed.

Needless to say the Royal Marines would never admit to being formed from the Coldstream Guards.
