Are goals in the Marine Cadets:

Marine Cadet training is based on the true traditions of the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines.

Becoming a Marine Cadet is not an easy task. It takes Desire, Courage, Strength, Hard Work, and most of all Sweat. We take the title "Marine" very seriously and we expect those who join us to do the same.

Fun:
Not everything we do is hard work and you will have fun. Once you get past Recruit Training things are not as intense. You will have by then learned what is expected of you and how to carry out your duties. At that point you will begin to see the enjoyment that the challenges before you can bring. You will have overcome your fear and you will be confident in yourself and then begin to teach and encourage the recruits who come after you.

Pride:

Every time you put on your Uniform you will feel it. Knowing that what you have learned and accomplished is more than what you ever thought you could do. Ever time you put on your Uniform you will remember the sacrifices that were made by those that wore that same uniform. Every time you put on your uniform will feel the pride of having the guts to put it on. Every time you take it off, know that you are still a Marine Cadet and you are one 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 day a year which means that a lot will be expected of you and you will not fail. Fail is not in your vocabulary anymore.

The Warrior Spirit:
The Warrior Spirit might not be what you think. The warrior spirit is an Attitude and strong confident presents that you emit through your body and your personality. The Warrior Spirit is the tough exterior and the brains to back it up. The warrior spirit is doing the right thing even when it is hard to do. The warrior Spirit is taking on a challenge and not giving up until it you have mastered it. The warrior spirit is looking out for and helping others. The warrior spirit is respecting others and demanding the same respect in return. The warrior spirit is not something you are handed, it is something you achieve through hard work and the challenging of your body and mind. The warrior spirit will help you master yourself and life.

Family:
Through all the challenges you will face and all the fears you will overcome, you will never be alone. You will make new friends and you will become part of a new family that will always be apart of you. They will always understand what you have been through because they either have been there or went through it with you. This new family will be very special.

How is the training broken down?

Recruit: You will start off as a recruit, your recruit training will take about 8 weeks, and you will learn drill, ranks and rates, uniform cleaning, knots, fire drills, and most importantly, what the Royal Marines cap badge means.

Marine Cadet:
On a unit level, new Marine Cadets start with Customs, Courtesies, and Traditions; Drill and Ceremony; Marine History; Survival training; Field Skills; Infantry Tactics; and lots of Physical Training. In addition we conduct the classes and training that work on their development as young people, these skills give a young person with the courage to succeed a basic understanding of military life and will challenge them both physically and mentally.

During this time the Unit Staff Instructors and Senior Cadets will teach individuals how to care for themselves and others; and how to function as a member of a team to achieve success together. The Unit Staff Instructors and Senior Cadets are responsible for ensuring that Marine Cadet are fully prepared to meet the challenges that lay ahead. Marine Cadet training includes the knowledge of First Aid and Survival skills; Firearm safety, Marksmanship training, and Rifle qualification. If you do graduate from Marine Cadet Training, you will not only have a special bond with those you graduated with, but you will earned the title Marine Cadet.
