Step 3: Choose The Right Path
Royal Marines Reserve
There are two aspects to consider in regard to the commitment required in joining the RMR.
The first is a time factor. You will be required to give up a portion of your spare time, a minimum of two weeks a year, a few weekends and an evening meeting most weeks.
The second factor is that you should expect to be mobilised for operational service. You can apply to leave at any time. However, if mobilisation is underway it is unlikely that you will be able to leave.
It is important to remember that by joining the RMR you are committing to take part in active service, whatever its nature. Of course, the good news is that you get paid for your time!
Every reservist must be prepared to train in their spare time normally one evening a week at RMR Units, at weekends, and during the annual 15 days training period.
