"Pretend Marines" is an insult, they are trained marines and have the right to wear the green beret and serve alongside 3 cdo brigade on operations. They are infatry man trained in a specialist role. Are engineers attached to 16th air assault pretend paratroopers? no. Same goes for the rifles.

The Rifles and its antecedent regiments, at least the Light Div ones, had a reputation for producing 'thinking Riflemen. I think you'd make a great Para/Marine.

Right, I'm going to give Mason1987 the benefit of the doubt, he's come here asking for information on Infantry regiments, leaving aside his poor spelling, grammar and a possibly badly worded post this is a serious thread and a request for information if you're not going to offer advice then I suggest you stay in the NAAFI.
