Coronavirus (COVID-19)

[Duality]

There's a pdf on here somewhere which has some great corps history info.
My son got asked about school, hobbies, work, family - what we did. Explaining my job was fun. Also got asked things to show his understanding of what becoming a royal marine entailed.

 

[The guide]

You interview is split into 5 sections:

1. Home a family background, Where you live, who you live with, your parents thoughts about you joining, and a bit more besides.

2.Education, - What you did or did not like, sports teams, exams, how you got on at school.

3. Work Record, - any and all jobs you may have had - and details about them

4. Spare Time activities - groups you have been in , clubs (incl what physical training you do - be ready to give facts and figures - press-ups, sit-ups, and run distances and timings, in particular, the 2.4km runs) & VPJFT.

5.Motivation. Why do you want to join, what do you know about the RM incl some basic history , where are RM unit based roles available in the RM, what does training entail, pay, what doe the contract you sign entails.

This is not exhaustive but a rough outline of what you may be asked, most of the above you "will definitely " be asked about.

 

[PMP_25]

I recall looking at Spain and Italy in utter disbelief when they were in the range of 10k deaths. Now the UK has had over 40 thousand COVID deaths. Surreal.

The statistics, for those interested. (https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/covid-19-daily-deaths/)

@Harry McRunFast where did you hear those statistics out of interest? Seems as though there is a bit of exaggeration from various outlets regarding this figure

@PMP_25

I mean from back a couple of months ago, when it all really started.

Would having COVID say a year before application and of course be fully recovered result in a PMU? Met someone who had it recently so I'm currently quarantined, hopefully shouldn't have caught it but nevertheless a question that's currently on mind.

Best,
