I’m proud of the boys. At fifty-plus years, we demonstrate the Royal Marines Commando ethos, that we never leave a man (or woman) behind. Be proud to talk about mental-health, because Royal Marines do!
Royal Marines veterans take on the infamous 9-mile speed march
By Cpl (Rtd) Steve Boden RM
An RMA North Devon led team of both current and former Royal Marines recently completed the Spean Bridge Train Station – Achnacarry Speed March in support of RMA – The Royal Marines Charity.
It was also completed to raise awareness of the ongoing Mental Health challenges faced within the RM and across all the Armed Forces. This iconic route was first undertaken by Commando’s during WWII, whereby when individuals arrived at the Spean Bridge Train Station, they had to complete the 7-mile (11Km) route to Achnacarry Castle with equipment and weapons, within an hour. Those who were unsuccessful were returned to their unit the following day. This speed march was not only relevant 80 years ago, but also remains key today were a comparable march (9-mile) is completed as one of the Commando Tests at CTCRM. It remains a rite of passage with gaining the coveted green beret.

The Battle For Mount Longdon | A Falklands War Special | #186
The battle for Mount Longdon features James O’Connell, formerly of 3 Para, speaking about his experience during The Falklands War in 1982.
The Battle For Mount Longdon | A Falklands War Special | #186
Under cover of darkness 3 Para began their assault on Mount Longdon in June 1982. The three platoons of B Company each approached the mountain silently, treading carefully through a series of defensive minefields. Following on from an explosion, fighting quickly escalated with shocking speed and severity. The ensuing battle resulted in some of the harshest close-hand fighting experienced by British troops, since the Korean war.
Transcript from ‘The Battle For Mount Longdon’ podcast.
Chris – James, was it disappointing that you were being inserted by boat as opposed to coming from the sky?
James – With the distance you knew it wasn’t going to happen. We sailed down on the Camberra with all our parachute kit. We were ready to go any way we could. It would have been legendary wouldn’t it?

The World’s Hardest Man WOKE UP | Lee Morrison | #185
The world’s hardest man woke up, features Lee Morrison, chatting with Chris Thrall. Lee runs the Urban Combatives course and here he talks about his life as a street-fighter, doorman and martial-arts experience.
The World’s Hardest Man WOKE UP | Lee Morrison | #185
Former Royal Marines Commando Chris Thrall chats with Lee Morrison from Urban Combatives – a no-nonsense-approach fight school. Lee grew up in violence on the streets, but now focuses his efforts on tackling the oppression facing all of us.
Transcript from ‘The World’s Hardest Man’ podcast
Chris – I was looking at your stuff on the internet earlier. You look like the world’s hardest man.
Lee – Yes it’s not just about being how to handle yourself, it’s about being able to control your mind. I think it all comes down to that because you know, if you can control your thoughts on a regular basis you become a master of your thoughts. You can control your feelings and if you control your feelings, that’s your entire state of being so I think that’s very important. It’s not so much what goes on around us, although that’s horrendous enough, but it really comes down to how you respond to it.

Transcript from ‘A National Disgrace’ podcast.
Chris – I will hold my hand up and say when I first saw that footage, because of the power of the media, it really just seems like, ‘Oh my God, this is British soldiers behaving badly. You know, what are they doing oh lads, you’re letting us down. When I watched your documentary again, I just felt the way it had been completely spun and yes, all of the backstory and the context was stripped out to make it look like you were the biggest, you know what on the planet.
Martin – What was it all for? I’ve spent the last ten years with therapists trying to figure out who I am. You’re always constantly looking back and reviewing. Through ‘Diary of a disgraced soldier’, I couldn’t have made that film any better, it’s just the untouched frustration of what what I’ve been through.

Fastest Man On Earth | Jason Hardrath | Podcast #181
Jason Hardrath is an extreme endurance athlete and a school P.E. teacher. He holds the fastest known time (or FKT in running language) for Mount McLoughlin. He made it to the 9,495-foot summit in just under an hour and three minutes. This extreme endurance athlete has also qualified for world-championships with the gruelling Ironman competitions. After a severe car-crash, he’s gone on to become an expert mountain-climber & he is currently in training for his next challenge – climbing some of The U.S.A.’s toughest peaks, back to back.
Transcript from ‘Fastest Man On Earth’ Podcast
Jason – I was just out chasing cool things I’d accumulated with rock climbing, mountaineering and orienteering skill sets. I’d also had a traumatic car accident that kind of took away my running for a while and when the running came back, I’d accumulated this skill set as part of my process of finding something to do with myself. When my running came back I was like, oh well now I’m going to run between these big mountain objectives and deep back-country things. So it made it really easy to go for fastest known times.
Chris – I think the thing we always need to remind ourselves is, some people are just really not very well and we have the same thing in the military. We call them Walter Mitties and they’re the these individuals that dress up with all the military regalia. One knows they’ve got the beret of some special forces unit and of course they’ve never served. It’s incredibly sad but I had one of these gentlemen on the podcast, who’s let’s use the word, recovered from this delusion. When it came down to it, he suffered some severe abuse as a child.

Chris – Now we’re gonna talk about Robin of Sherwood, which was which was huge in the nineteen eighties.
Mark – I don’t think that show could be made now Chris, to be honest with you. Not for the money and again, it was of its time and it was almost like a time capsule in a way. Not just the contents of the show. I’m actually proud of the fact for those whom don’t remember, God what was her name? Her name flipped through my head she was was the lady who was the moral arbiter of the U.K.
Chris – Mary Whitehouse
