72 years ago on the 4th December 1951, 52 members of the Chatham Royal Marine Cadets, aged between 9-13yrs, were marching at the side of the road in full uniform when a double-decker bus collided with their Company along Dock Road, Chatham. 24 Royal Marine Cadets lost their lives and 18 were injured.
The company were marching from Melville Barracks to the Royal Naval Barracks, Chatham, to attend a boxing tournament.
The cadets were marching three abreast on the left-hand side of the road, dressed in uniform wearing Royal Marines standard-issue dark blue battledress and berets.
A military funeral was held for 20 of the boys that lost their lives, at Rochester Cathedral on the 12th December 1951, the other four boys having private Catholic funerals. Thousands of local people lined the route of the funeral procession and gathered outside the Cathedral.
Every year on the Sunday closest to the event, the Chatham Marine Cadet Unit holds a memorial parade at the cemetery where the cadets were laid to rest.

3 Standards for Royal Marines Training

Please note that these are standards you should AIM for.

Not the be all end all.

But from my experience, having these things in the locker will put you in good stead going forwards.

Have a scroll through, identify your weak areas. Make a plan and execute.

A Royal Marines sniper team has brought a Caribbean drug-runners' power boat to a "juddering halt" after shooting out its engines.
US Coast Guard personnel, working alongside the sailors and marines on board Royal Navy destroyer HMS Dauntless, were then able to seize £60m worth of co***ne, which the smugglers had been attempting to throw overboard.
The Portsmouth-based destroyer has now taken her tally to more than £200m worth of illegal narcotics intercepted after hunting down the 35ft vessel.
The Royal Navy said: "During a routine counter-narcotics patrol of the Caribbean Sea, Dauntless launched her Wildcat helicopter and Royal Marines sniper team to close in on the suspect craft.
"When smugglers began to jettison their illegal cargo, their engines were taken out with precision by the commando snipers, bringing the boat to a juddering halt.
"That allowed a US Coast Guard team to be dispatched from Dauntless and 11 large bales of co***ne weighing 330kg to be seized."

RMFA STANDARDS

These are some of the standards I try to hold my athletes to when they’re going to CPC.

Not only does being above the minimums stand you in good stead for that second day.

But it also increases confidence on an already nerve racking journey down there.

If you can hit these. The RMFA should be nothing more than a box ticking exercise.

"If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball!" Yesterday the team were supporting Unit sport as hosted the Dodgeball Championships. It was a great turnout from the Unit’s, taking part in a sport where you can legally attack the opposing team. A fantastic afternoon was had by all and congratulations to the PT Staff who were the eventual winners.

Did you know that now holds all Air Defence capability for the UK Commando Force? In these photos you can see Air Defence Troop showcasing their equipment alongside other members of the force at Lulworth Range a few weeks ago.

Air Defence Troop moved to from 30 Commando IX GP RM last year. It is fully manned by Commandos - in these photos you can see them utilising Starstreak MANPADs. Integrated Air Defence is crucial to UKCF for operating in contested battlespace and conducting high risk operations, where air superiority cannot be relied on.

Commandos during fieldcraft training at the Commando Training Depot 1943. Original wartime caption: Fieldcraft Training : Personal concealment is the object of fieldcraft. In this exercise, the task of the troops is to attack and destroy a troublesome enemy strongpoint, therefore, personal concealment, until near enough to storm the strong point is vital, if the operations is to be a success. Commandos, without a sound, and, or being observed by the enemy, crawl towards their objective. 📷IWM

Support this great new venture offering both adult tactical weekends and semi tactical weekends for parents and their child to team build, bond and create memories. The team are made of various services, cap badges and of course the crème de le crème - bootnecks! 🤪 Repost from

If you are wondering who is this new account I’m following without receiving a notification - then let us tell you …

Our venture started - as most of you know - offering courses that bring parents and children together in the great outdoors, away from distractions and building life time memories.

Since then, we have been asked to run weekends for Adults and felt this was something we could offer - given the skills and experience of the Directing Staff we have.

After much discussion it was decided the RoP brand needed a re-vamp and here we are - Gone Rogue UK!

Gone Rogue will still be offering the Child & Parent courses under the banner of Rite of Passage. However, we will now have a new offering for Adults - Rogue Operator!

Watch out for more details coming soon!
