I had an idea last night that I thought I would share as I thought it was quite interesting and may spark debate.
When recruits pass week 15 you are considered trained soldiers, you are not a 'Commando' but a trained soldier none the less.
What if they offered the option to opt out of training at this point and start your career as a 'Royal Marine' battle ready and able to be deployed wearing a blue/black beret (i'm not sure of the colour you get before your green beret). Generally you would be deployed in support of 'commandos'.
At a later stage you could train to become a commando and get your green beret and therefore be deployed as a 'Royal Marine Commando' on more advanced deployments.
Penny for your thoughts?
