Royal Marines, 4 Commando Tests - in 24 hrs
On the 16th November 2011, six Royal Marine Physical Training Instructors COMPLETED all four Commando Tests, in 24 hours raising funds for the Royal Marines/ Royal Navy Children’s Fund and Children in Need.
These normally take place over 8 days AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED IN 24 HOURS.
"An epic challenge even by Royal Marine standards. I admire these guys commitment to achieve something extraordinary in an effort to make a difference to many soldiers families lives. You have my full admiration."
