Don’t get me wrong, AI is an incredible tool. I use it myself. But I’m still seeing mistakes, and I’m still seeing lads arrive at CPC and recruit training after following generic AI programmes, only to find they’re under conditioned and lacking the knowledge they actually need.

There are plenty of careers where being “good enough” is enough. Royal Marines training isn’t one of them.
That’s why it frustrates me when people only ask what the minimum standard is, instead of aiming for the maximum. You’re not preparing to scrape through. You’re preparing for one of the toughest military training pipelines in the world.
Whether people want to believe it or not, the statistics don’t lie. Troops are smaller, troop amalgamations are becoming more common, and CPC pass rates have fallen, despite elements of the process being different and, in some areas, less demanding than they were before COVID.

What does that tell us?

Too many lads are still turning up unprepared.
Some are relying on generic AI programmes. Others are paying ridiculous amounts for poor coaching from people who don’t understand the Royal Marines training system. And some simply believe they can work it all out themselves.
I genuinely respect every bloke who’s willing to walk through those gates and earn the Green Beret. That’s exactly why I’d say this.

Do it properly. Do it once.

Recruit training is a game of preparation, probability and a bit of luck. You can’t control everything, but you can control how well prepared you are before you arrive.
Stop guessing what you think you need to do when you can learn from people who have lived it, taught it, and understand exactly what’s required for less than the cost of a couple of takeaways each month.

I want every one of you to succeed and achieve your goal.
You just have to want it enough to give yourself the best possible chance. 👊🏾

Hope you are all well guys,

I’ve had a few people ask how the programming works, so I thought I’d explain it here.

The main Royal Marines Group Programme is the core plan that everyone follows, with weekly training objectives, leaderboards, nutrition guidance and a supportive community.
Alongside that, I’ve added optional training tracks for anyone who wants extra work in specific areas. These aren’t separate programmes, they’re designed to complement the main plan. So if you’re struggling with your RMFA, need to improve your running, or want some additional rehab work (coming soon), you can simply add those sessions alongside your normal training.
The idea is to give you more flexibility to focus on your individual weaknesses without overcomplicating things. Whether you’re just starting your application, preparing for CPC, or looking to improve specific areas, you can tailor the programme to suit where you are.
My aim is to provide the same standard of training and coaching I’ve used with recruits, while giving you the structure, guidance and support to arrive at training in the best position possible.

If anyone has any questions about the programme or their preparation for the Royal Marines, feel free to ask,I’m always happy to help.
