Royal Marines and their Marching!

Post by Sortezy »

Something I have always heard is how much weight the RM's pack into their Bergens during Basic and after. How much weight do the RM's actually pack in their Bergen's for recruit training. I've heard from 50-110 pounds... Also when it comes to marching with the Bergen I'm guessing it doesn't have a waist strap to put some of the weight on your hips its all on the shoulders? Saying this because I have never seen anyone use it in any of the recruit vids!

Thanks,

Sortezy

You get used to it during training, after a while it is not such a problem
