What is the training to be a Royal Marines Commando?
The Royal Marines Commando course takes place at the Commando Training Centre, (CTCRM), Lympstone, Devon and lasts 32 weeks. TV fitness guru Rosemary Connelly is currently head of commando development and has taken over from GMTV’s Mr. Motivator who retired from service in 2003. All recruits start the day at 0400hrs with 5lbs of raw liver and groin injections of cattle steroids. The training programme is based around the James Caan film, ‘Rollerball’, with less rules and more violence. The day ends at 2300hrs with systematic beatings dished out by senior recruits.
