The first to understand, the first to adapt and respond, the first to overcome – this is the mindset of a Royal Marines Commando. To keep going in the face of adversity, until the job is done. We’ll help you realise the warrior within yourself and achieve things you never thought capable.
Per mare, per terram: by sea, by land.
Because we’re not your typical fighting force.
We’ve got something others haven’t.
The optimism of the green beret spirit.
That lets us power on when others would quit. Even when the odds aren’t in our favour.
This isn’t something you’re born into.
But you can find it. And train it.
Until it becomes a state of mind.
There’s one thing that all our people share – that special state of mind. It’s the foundation of life in the Royal Marines, and to prove you have it you’ll need to demonstrate essential Commandos values, every day:
Excellence: the ability to succeed under pressure
Integrity: positivity in the face of adversity
Self-discipline: physical fitness and mental robustness
Humility: a true team player
You’ll need to be exceptional, just like the rest of your team, with the same state of mind. Combining your courage, determination, unselfishness, and cheerfulness, to embody the Royal Marines ethos at all times.
Life in the Royal Marines is all about bravery, selflessness, and positivity even in the toughest situations – especially, in the toughest situations.
You'll face extreme environments, from deserts to the Arctic, and adapt to them like a local.
You’ll be part of a family and find a place where you belong. You’ll be cold, wet, and tired. But you’ll always get the job done – together.
This is teamwork like you’ve never experienced it.
A competitive salary and pension are just the start. Get 7 weeks' paid holiday, free medical and dental care, defence discounts, and extra allowances for extended tours and time at sea.
Physical ability is critical to your role, so we'll need to know you can cope with the gruelling conditions you'll be put through. You'll also need to meet our age, weight, height and citizenship criteria.
One of the world’s most respected military bands. Adventure meets a rigorous musical education, to play for heads of state, dignitaries and royalty
