Marines Bootcamp

I feel that marines of all ranks should read this book. Near the end of boot camp, I remember my Drill Instructors telling my platoon about how terrible marines sometimes acted when they were clearly taught otherwise in boot camp. I remember them telling me that they wanted to be a Drill Instructor because they wanted to make a positive and long lasting impact on people. They also told us that no matter how hard they’ve trained and honed us in the way they wanted us to be, as soon as we leave, we would still be whoever we wanted to be, it would be our choice whether or not to keep those teachings with us. And they were right, I’ve met a lot of marines that have abandoned them. This book emphasizes on the importance of keeping our transformation, not only for our Marine Corps career but also for the good of our

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.

The Marine Corps has a twelve week required boot camp. When the New Marines, also known as Pullies, first arrive to either Paris Island or Sand Francisco, they have one scripted phone call to allow their families to know that they made it safely. For the first two weeks the new Pullie, cannot have outside communications to family or friends. 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.

I would like to share with you some of my experiences. I joined the military in 1996, after high school and I went directly to Marine boot camp. There I learned some of my most important personal values such as pride, perseverance, team work, and attention to detail. Marine Corps boot camp is an experience like no other I have had in the world and one I am immensely proud to have. I rose in the ranks quickly, I started as

Have you ever experienced one of the hardest and most challenging things on the planet earth? Boot camp, also known as basic training, is one of the toughest programs you may go through. It requires a lot of physical and mental preparation and strength. Depending on which branch of the military you go into, there are different requirements and needs but one is just as challenging as the other. The length of boot camp is about three to four months long depending on the branch you go into. Boot camp is very mentally and physically challenging but prepares you for your duties in the United States Military.

After graduation I'll have a couple months until I leave for boot camp. I'll be away from home for 13 weeks. One of the hardest things will be being away from my family. The payout will be worth it though. Everyday in boot camp will start out with physical training. Week 1-4 will consist of recruit's first stop called “Recruit Receiving”. This is where i will spend the first few days of recruit training experience. This is where i will receive my first haircut and initial gear issue, which includes items such as uniforms, toiletries and letter writing supplies. During this time I will also be given full medical and dental screenings, and take the Initial Strength Test. This test consists of a one and a half mile run, sit ups and pull ups to test to see if I'm in shape to begin training. I will also learn the Marine Corps values of honor, courage, and commitment. The rest of this phase is spent learning weapons handling from trained experts and completing the Confidence

“All this for a guy?!” I thought to myself as I lay in my rack staring out the window at the night sky. It had been three days since I was able to sleep. Since departing home, there were days of signing papers, collecting uniform, getting yelled at by drill sergeants, marching here, marching there… of all branches of service I decided to join the United States Marines. My reasons were none other than to elope. Whether or not it was good for me to leave, I look at my life now and feel blessed and privileged, but I also wonder what circumstances I would find myself in or if I would have grown up had I stayed in my home town of Union City, California. To keep my family safe, to figure life out on my own and discovering faith are

I had no idea what I had gotten myself into when I signed that dotted line. I stared out of the bus’s window, stomach in knots afraid she would catch me looking. I decided to put my head back down into my green laundry bag and take a nap. “Maybe it would be as bad as I think it will be,” I said to myself trying to calm my nerves. I was wrong.
