Reserve Forces Commando Course
by Rct Watson, RMR Tyne Det
The Reserve Forces Commando Course (RFCC) for me was an intense and transformative experience that tested all things learned both physically and mentally in the 18 months of Royal Marines Reserves training we had received. After arriving at CTCRM, the first two days comprised of time spent with the PT staff who delivered refresh sessions on the Tarzan Assault Course to offer guidance on the technical transitions and properly prepare us for the coming tests. Timed runs through of the Tarzan and the Endurance Courses were completed to benchmark our readiness for the tests and coordinate the order in which recruits would run.
