Balance With Civilian Job

For most people the demands of a job and family are enough. However, Reservists in the Royal Marines also face the challenge of training to the same standard as the Regulars and have to pass the same Commando tests.

It isn't something you simply put aside along with your green beret when you get home from an evening's or a weekend's training. The physical demands of the service mean that you need to keep your fitness levels up in between.To balance your home, work and RMR commitments you'll need the kind of determination and motivation that gets you round our assault course.What's more, being part of a Reserve force doesn't mean you'll be kept in storage. Today's demands on our armed forces mean that Reservists are more likely than ever to be called out for active service alongside RM Regulars.
