B) I live in the US and know littte about the UK. And I know most of the members here are in Europe. So can you tell me how your military is tranied like what classes there are. Like in the US it's army , navy , airforce , Marines , navy seals , rangers. I know some like Royal navy I think.And are your drill instructors allowed to punch the tranies. Don't turn this into a US vs whatever thread. <_< :lol:

Army, Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Royal Air Force
No, they cant physically touch recruits legally.
Everyone undergoes Basic Training..ie basic skills needed by everyone.
Everyone is then trained by the Corps they join....eg Trade Training, Specialist Fighting Skills etc
Finally they are posted to a Regiment/ship/base, and their training is finished off at their place of employment.

in holland it's: Koninklijke Marine (Royal Navy, That includes Royal Marines), Koninklijke Luchtmacht (Royal Airforce), Koninklijke Landmacht (Royal Army)
everybody has basic and special training for his or her Job.

I think Marines come under the Royal Navy (at the top)....but you will NEVER hear them admit that.
BTW
Britain had Marines way before USA....as did most Naval Nations, they are after all the Navies soldiers....
Not sure how many nations train them as Special Forces, like USA and UK though ;)

our marines are a bit trained like U.K. and U.S. we have a special unit for Anti-terror but the marines aren't trained so hard as in the U.K. and U.S.

Leather Necks
But there also called JAr heads :lol:

why Leather Necks
Posted by: El_Jefe
Because they used to wear leather collars as part of their uniforms.
Edit: thought that I'd better edit this.
Leather collars on their uniforms, not wearing leather collars like dogs, or B/D fetish types. :)

The important things are:
Everything having to do with military training and structure originated in the U.K./Europe.
All their forces are ROYAL, too.
Big difference, there.
I have a question:
Which of our European benefactors possessed marines first?
Posted by: lynx
Britain created marine forces under Admiralty control in 1755, 50 companies in 3 divisions at Chatham, Portsmouth and Plymouth.
Before that time, marines were under army control, and were not continuously maintained. The earliest official British marine regiment I have found is Sir William Killigrew's Regiment of Foot in 1662.
