‘It’s not impossible: A woman will become a Royal Marine’

She is now considered one of the toughest women in the UK armed forces and said: “It was so much harder than I expected it to be because there’s so many more factors to it, sleep deprivation, self-induced pressure, doubt.”

In June 2022, Lt Fisher, who is based in Yeovil, Somerset, proudly put on her green beret, which is worn exclusively by those who pass the commando course, sealing her position as the only current serving female Royal Navy Commando.

“It was the best day of my career, if not my life… it’s something I am extremely proud of,” she said.

Lt Fisher echoed Ms Birch when she said “it is not an impossible task” for a woman to pass the Royal Marines training.

“It will just take the right woman with the right mindset. I don’t think it matters about size or shape… it is if you’ve got the right mental resilience, perseverance, determination, stubbornness,” she said.
