so RM only go on a 6 month tour? i seen on their website that it could be up to 12 months, when would this be the case? how long do they get to go home for R&R?

thanks

Was just wondering if RM get R&R when on a tour? For example, if posted in Afghanistan for 12 months do they get a chance to go home at all to see family like the Army do? In particular it would be RMR im interested in joining.

Thanks in advance.
