“I feel I have a debt of gratitude to the training team and the Corps”
Managing Director IMS Group, Graeme Alexander
In 1977, Graeme joined Royal Marine Commando Training at Lympstone, joining 101 troop, he was working hard in training but resigned following a week of home leave. Graham says he regretted his departure but his time at CTC inspired him with confidence.
“I absolutely loved my time in training, meeting some great and sometimes crazy guys which I bonded with quickly. But going home to my large family and friends swayed my decision. At 17 I really didn’t know what was best for me. I regretted my departure for some time after. Although my life is good.
However, I had no idea what that short spell did to me and how it shaped my vision and created confidence in my ability and taught me never give up and the harder the fight the greater the rewards, Corps values I would say.
I feel I have a debt of gratitude to the training team and the corps for what that training brought out of me even in that short space of time. This is the reason I chose to support RMA – The Royal Marines Charity, just a little thank you for that short time all those years ago that made me aware that I could face hardship and win.”
