Answer 1

This quote is probably all that matters.

"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem."

President Ronald Ragan, 1985

Answer 2

Before I say just one question. Who are you voting for? If it's obama go join the iranian army.

You have to like camping. In combat you just pull something over your head to sleep. You really need to be at your very best when someone is shooting at you, or about to. Physical conditioning is very important. Obeying your superiors with no questions or hesitation is important. You have to Love your country. This is very important!

Answer 3

You need a new attitude bro.  Marines are a different class, they don't care about "camping" and sleeping outside, they care about being a hard ************ and killing some folks

Answer 4

Become an 0311. That's a Marine Rifleman. You will go to boot camp as an 0300 but at Infantry school they will ask you what you want to be. You can be a mortar-man, machine-gunner, rifleman, assault-man, or a lav crewman. In the infantry you will spend around 2 weeks a month in the field minimum. Field Artillery spends time in the field as well. I was an 0311 so I only know what 0300's do not artillery. If you live on the east coast you will be going to Parris Island for bootcamp and you will learn to love sand flea's. If you live closer to the west coast you will learn to love "hills".
