Belonging
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.
Within you is the best you. Let’s find it together.

About you
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.
