Was wondering whether anyone knows the eyesight requirement for the royal marines. i wear contact lenses and am really considering a career in the marines, would be annoying if i couldnt join because of this lol.

thx


I'm in a similar position. Have a look at the marine forum on here. There are a few threads that detail the requirements although unless you're an optician I doubt it will mean much. Best to take it along when you next have an eye test.

My pleasure and best of luck.

Incidentally that forum is superb for advice on fitness and the selection process. Well worth keeping in your bookmarks.

I have applied for the Royal Marines as a Comissioned Officer hopefully 45Cdo - Mountain and Cold Weather Warfare!

I have 20/20 vision so i have never needed 2 pay attention to it but i needs to b pretty good, my mate failed cos both his eyes wernt the same (some allowence allowed)!

Good luck chaps! See you all one day! :wink:
