The Marines are a highly mobile amphibious attack force. Marines are trained to attack from the water and establish a beach head, an area of control on foreign soil. After the Marines take territory, other armed forces such as the US Army move in to maintain control, while the Marines move on. Marines are mobile, lightweight, and very rapid. I would compare the Marines to the head of the spear, wedging in to get a foothold and racing ahead once the land has been secured. In addition to acting as a lightweight attack force from the ocean, Marines are also perfectly capable of taking territory on land. Marines are trained for rapid deployment, and are often the first US military personnel on site. Marines also guard American embassies overseas, providing embassy security and safety. In volatile areas, being a Marine embassy guard is a very risky job.

When those two weeks are up they are then aloud to send letters, but they have to earn the credits to purchase the stamps and such needed. At the end of the eleventh week the Pullies go through what is called Hell Week, where they are not allowed to sleep for two days and nights, and still much preform at maxim compasity. When they are finished with their boot camp training they are allowed to see their family for a short amount of time before they graduate. After their graduation they have a ten day leave before they have to eather be deployed or continue on to a Marine Occupations Specialty School, MOS school.

On November 10th, 1775 the Marine Corps was established in Tun Tavern during the Revolutionary War.

Each one of them has gone through extensive and demanding training in order to earn the privilege to wear a certain uniform. Basic training practices vary dependent upon the branch of service in the military. The United States Marine Corps has the longest basic training in the U.S., lasting 13 weeks includes physical training, classroom lessons, close order drill, and military training. Recruits must learn hand to hand combat skills, marksmanship, physical fitness, combat survival, rappelling, close order drill, and Marine Corps history, traditions, customs, and first aid(U.S. Marine Corps [U.S.M.C.], n.d.). They must also pass swim qualification, rifle qualification, a physical fitness test, a combat fitness test, gas chamber qualification, and pass several obstacle courses in order to complete basic training (U.S.M.C., n.d.). Individuals must pass all aspects of recruit training before having earned the privilege of being a Marine. Those individuals spend 13 weeks in a very high stress environment trying to learn and adapt to a new way of life while under constant scrutiny of their drill instructors. After completing basic training, Marines are now required to maintain their uniform perfectly. As with all service members, Marines have a sense (United States v.

Even out of uniform you should be able to tell a Marine apart from everyone else. Intellectual speech, a Marine can positively influence others by their intellect and assertiveness. He or she should be able to persuade others to do better and be better. The Marines demeanor is one that can threaten the enemy but inspire a young child. We are an unstoppable strong force that will bulldoze anything in our way. Motivating, unselfish, confident pieces of hard work is what we are. We take positive risks for things that are better for the greater good. Someone who people can instantly tell that they can achieve anything is what a Marine is. As a junior Marine I look at higher ranked individuals that have those characteristics and learn from them. I am a motivator and have a lot of determination to be that ideal marine.

After the long filled week of research of the four branches of the military, a decision is made. The next step is to contact a recruiter and set a time to meet with them. The recruiters going to ask why they want to join and if they were thinking of going active or reserve; then he asks them to take a practice test of the ASVAB. After the test is completed the recruiter looks at their results and decided if they are eligible to join. After that the recruiter makes an appointment at MEPS where people take the ASVAB and go through a physical. These two procedures are extremely crucial for anyone looking to become a pilot for the military. criteria that they can only take each one of them once.
