  1. The Corps is not undermanned. We get more than enough candidates each year. The pass rate has remained at a steady 48 - 52% for 40yrs. The Troops we produce are of the same standard but the journey to produce them is different. And that previous post about the Borrowers was not a result of missed medication it's what the Yanks called us in GW1. If you'd served you'd have known that.

  2.  @theofarmmanager267  - my dear fellow that's the RN & RM combined, not the RM alone. We are, to all intents and purposes, oversubscribed, our full strength is greater than our warfighting strength. This is to allow for Troops drafted out of service, or broken, or in the further training system. Forty-eight new RM Commandos passed out with 320 Troop today and fifty passed out with 319 a fortnight ago, that far outweighs the number of Troops leaving the Corps.

  3. Do you think LCU & LCVP design has evolved somewhere else and left us behind?
