    Police men are wannabe marines:rolleyes:..just dont have the balls thats all

    Maybe we'll make men out of you yet..actually hold that thought there is donuts to be eaten

    Its a state of mind being a marine....its the state of your body being a police officer

    "We"? You're nothing as of now, you're nothing more than a civvy. I suggest you read the 5 core ethos of the Royal Marine, you will very quickly piss off a lot of actual Royals with your attitude if you ever do get down to CTCRM, and that'll just be for your PRMC let alone RT.

    WTF is with all this gay **** on here....I'm not fcuking gay:mad:

    I just need more hormones when I'm training to improve the size of my muscles...I've given up sex and beer as I'm in training...I know it will be worth it in the end

    what do you mean by night watch looking for IEDs on the streets

    and not being funny but nuts is good for testosterone eating them for snacks and keeping to a healthy weight not sliming down finding a weight that suits you will help plus hot to cold like sauna then cold shower twice after training from what iv read/been told

    Well you have to give up on beer. I've heard that when you are on HRT beer just goes STRAIGHT to your hips. and you need to hold onto that slim svelte look, otherwise no marine will ever look at you.

    It's amazing how many people completely miss the point of my posts
    What I'm trying to say is that a RMC will remain optimistic, even when hungry, cold, tired, scared, whatever. It's a state of mind. The right state of mind to get the job done.

    I'm going to upload some of my training videos for those of you who want to acquired the RM state of mind

    But you are not a Royal Marine and your mind set is all wrong. Take a trip to the recruiting office and have a chat, telling them all the preparation you are doing. Taking hormones to build muscle is not recommended and when you do the medical, it will show up and you are out on your ear.

    As a suggestion, find an airsoft site near you and go along for a day's play. You will most likely meet former armed forces members and maybe even serving DF members. You might learn something and you will probably enjoy it too.

    Airsoft forum is first one on the Sports drop down

    What is also stated within the RMC core ethos is professional standards and humility. You portray neither of these due to your overwhelming arrogance in relation to the RMC's, a corps of which you play no part in so far.

    Wind your neck in or when you get down to Lympstone, you're going to get an awful time from the real Commandos.

    The royal navy are the navy that all other Navy's are judged by

    Are their Irish marines? Just imagine what they do...:confused:

    Are you sure about that IQ figure?

    investment are ya still here, or did ya stumble upon an IED on your night watch patrols of your local scummy area,s while dodging old people looking for euro,s and scumbags looking for a fight!!!?????

    With an IQ of 180 you should be able to arse your way into a cushy little number in CERN!

    I reckon he did indeed encounter an IED (Inebriated Errant D1ckhead) and has come to the conclusion that some IEDs are worse than the other IEDs, but not as bad as the VBIED (very boll0cksed IED) and that perhaps this wouldn't be the life for him.

    Sounds just like a Saturday night in Rotherham come to think of it ... I swear the locals are not right in the head here. I hope he doesn't live near me.

    Would I be right in saying the selection process you got quiet far in was for the Irish defence force?

    If so..I would not be suprised if you are right...The Irish defence force want people with no attitude and no arrogance so they can development them into peace keepers i.e Standing outside a bank with an unarmed gun

    And earlier we had "navy's" instead of "navies" and various other howlers.

    Seriously, was this IQ test one of the ones advertised on the side bar on a porn website or something?

    Good spelling and grammar do not equal high IQ, but they are a bloody good indicator.

    Edit: read a few more posts - the OP is pulling our legs, nobody is that stupid. Well played OP, joke is on us.

    A five-year old granddaughter is usually taken to school, daily, by her grandfather.

    When he had a bad cold his wife took the grandchild.

    That night she told her parents that the ride to school with granny was very different!!

    "What made it different?" asked her parents.

    "Gran and I didn't see a single tosser, blind bastard, dick-head, Asian prick or wanker anywhere on the way to school today!"

    Not necessarily, some great writers and leaders inc Churchill could not spell to save their lives. Some very bright people are dyslexic.

    Thast qiute teru. [King Carl Gustav of Sweden is dyslexic, and look where it got HIM.]

    As for our old pal/palette 'investment', I note that we haven't heard anything from that direction for a while. I can only hope and pray that nothing trivial has happened to him/her.

    Yet another ill informed individual who thinks dyslexia is linked to bad spelling.
    Educate yourself please.

    Yet another ill informed individual who thinks dyslexia is linked to bad spelling.
    Educate yourself please.

    Thank you for those words of encouragement, much appreciated.

    I had the privilege of being dyslexic in three languages before I even began school at age five, and count myself fortunate that I had a some great parents and teachers to help me, in spite of the fact that dyslexia, or 'word-blindness' as it was called in those far-off days, was a little-understood problem.

    People like me just have to try a lot harder harder, that's all, and to my credit and that of my helpers, I have achieved a state of literacy, using correct spelling and syntax, that you see before you here.

    It's odd to find out so many years later that being a principally left-handed ambidex could have been so useful - being able to write with either hand in either direction was the key to learning to fit in with the rest of humanity. My solution, and they are all, it seems, quite different, came about one day as I was sitting in a bus driving by a series of large department stores in central London. I was amusing myself by reading the reflection of the advertisements on the bus side and all of a sudden it all clicked for me.

    From then on I had little trouble, and can write as well as anybody else - and better than many others, it seems. I was the author of over a hundred text books used by certain parts of the British Armed Forces and NATO, and for five years the Chief Instructor of one of the joint training establishments.

    BTW, the word 'ill-informed' is hyphenated.

    Best wishes

    PS - I've deleted a few spockling mistales, and incorporated a couple, just to give you something to take the p!ss out of, right?

    TBH I have always thought Dyslexia manifested itself in reading and spelling issues , if its unconnected with spelling then what is it all about ?
    Genuine question btw.

    Mods - Please forgive the necessary thread drift, or pehaps let us start a new one.

    Anyhow, responding to Mr Delancey's post - This seems to sum it up quite well -

    Dyslexia is a very broad term defining a learning disability that impairs a person's fluency or comprehension accuracy in being able to read, and which can manifest itself as a difficulty with phonological awareness, phonological decoding, orthographic coding, auditory short-term memory or rapid naming. Dyslexia is separate and distinct from reading difficulties resulting from other causes, such as a non-neurological deficiency with vision or hearing, or from poor or inadequate reading instruction. It is believed that dyslexia can affect between 5 and 10 percent of a given population although there have been no studies to indicate an accurate percentage.

    There are three proposed cognitive subtypes of dyslexia: auditory, visual and attentional. Reading disabilities, or dyslexia, is the most common learning disability, although in research literature it is considered to be a receptive language-based learning disability. Researchers at MIT found that people with dyslexia exhibited impaired voice-recognition abilities. Accomplished adult dyslexics may be able to read with good comprehension, but they tend to read more slowly than non-dyslexics and may perform more poorly at nonsense word reading (a measure of phonological awareness) and spelling. Dyslexia is not an intellectual disability, since dyslexia and IQ are not interrelated, as a result of cognition developing independently.

    As I mentioned in my earlier post, much of this descriptive is non-applicable in many cases, my own especially, but is a generalisation used to accommodate remedial treatment.

    I have never had any subsequent problem in reading; in fact, the average paperback is gone in an evening and going back over to Canada is a two-book journey, so obviously my problem was outside the scope of that description. As I noted, it was a sudden 'click 'in my head, and one that was pretty upsetting at the time. I remember instantly getting off the bus and going back home to tell my mom and dad, and how they were as amazed as I was.

    One of my BAs is in modern languages, BTW......
