Special Qualifications
After gaining experience as a general duties rifleman within their RMR Units Marines, subject to suitability, will then be given the opportunity to attend specialist courses and gain a specialist qualification.
RMR Units have the responsibility of providing a pool of suitably trained volunteers for certain specialisations in order to augment the regular corps if required. These specialisations are landing craft coxswains, assault engineers, heavy weapons (mortars) and swimmer canoeists. In addition there are many other specialisations open to RMR ranks.

Famous quotes containing the word special:
“We cannot set aside an hour for discussion with our children and hope that it will be a time of deep encounter. The special moments of intimacy are more likely to happen while baking a cake together, or playing hide and seek, or just sitting in the waiting room of the orthodontist.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
