The Potential Royal Marines Course, often abbreviated to PRMC, is the Royal Marines selection course for Potential Recruits. The course is held at CTCRM, and is designed to assess a candidate's suitability for entry into the Royal Marines. The course is composed of four Physical Assessments: A 3-mile run, Gym Test 1, the Bottomfield and a 2.5-mile section of the Endurance Course, which includes a 0.5-mile 'hare and hounds' chase, involving the remaining PRMC candidates to keep up with the PTI. The course lasts for a total of 3 days. == Day 1 == On the first day of the PRMC, potential recruits begin their assessments at 8am. They undertake the 3 Mile Run and Gym Tests. The three-mile run consists of a 1.5-miles-out run as a squad followed by 1.5-mile back individual best effort. The 1.5 miles out is done in 12.5 mins followed by a best-effort run back in under 10.5 minutes.〔(Prepare Yourself for PRMC : How Do I Get Selected? : I Want To Be A Royal Marines Commando : Careers (Old Pointer) : Royal Navy )〕 However, candidates should aim for a return time of around 9 minutes to improve their chances of passing. *Gym tests are conducted in the afternoon of the first day. There are four main physical criteria that must be completed in the gym, each is marked out of 100 points and candidates must achieve a minimum of 180 points. There are: : *The VO2 Max bleep test (also known as the 'bleep test'.) Maximum level is 15 for maximum points, and candidates should aim for at least level 11 to stay on the course. : *Pressups are carried out immediately after the bleep test. A maximum score of 100 points is achieved for 60 press-ups are conducted to an audible bleep. These are carried out with arms locked into sides and shoulder width apart. The partner puts his fist on the floor facing away and counts one repetition for every time the chest touches his fist. Instructors observe to make sure the assessment is carried out flawlessly, and any poor form will result in press-ups being deducted from your final score. If you put your knees onto the floor you will be told to stop. : *Situps come straight after the press-ups. 85 are needed for maximum points, again 100 points, as with every other gym exercise sit ups are conducted to an audible bleep. Carried out with partner holding feet, elbows must touch top of knees and then the shoulders and elbows must touch the floor on the way down for a repetition to count. Knees must remain together or else reps will be deducted. : *Pullups follow situps. A minimum of 3 are required to stay on the course and 16 will gain the maximum of 100 points. Carried out with an over-grasp grip, the candidate is required to pull and hold the position until told to extend the arms; pull-ups are performed to the "bend" and "stretch" commands. The candidates chin must pass over the top of the bar to count and on the way down our body must be straight hanging down from the bar. Your legs must not cross. If the chin does not satisfactorily pass above the bar, or candidates cannot keep up with the commands, the candidate will be told to "drop off". After Gym tests there is a short swimming assessment. This is the final assessment for Day 1 and involves you jumping off the high diving board (3m) in normal swimming kit and swimming a maximum of 4 lengths (approx 100m) of breast stroke. You must complete at least 1 length. If you complete 1 but less than 4 lengths you will be graded as a WEAK SWIMMER and you will be advised to improve before joining and could delay your start date for joining recruit training. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Potential Royal Marine Course」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
