What is boot camp like for marines and how difficult is it?

Question

BTW, im not really interested in what people have to say that havent been through it or dont have any idea of what it is.

Answer 1

boot camp is split into 3 phases. in your phase we break u down mental and physically. 2 phase we teach to how to survive. 3 phase is transtion from recruit to marine. it challenging but it worth it.

Answer 2

It's tough it's challenging. It turns a civilian into a Marine you do the math. Very intense, you'll be a different person coming out of it. Not a Marine but brother went through it. Good luck!

Answer 3

I believe everyone asks this question, maybe not of others,  but of themselves.  All you have to do is to want to be a Marine, and if you want it bad enough you'll make it.  It will be the hardest thing you have ever done to that point in your life, but it will also be the best thing you have ever done for yourself. You will be tested, and the final days of boot camp willbe the tests of tests, the Crucible will test you mentally and physcially to your limits, there will be very little sleep and you may only eat one meal during the entire ordeal.  It is not a picnic but when you graduate from Boot Camp there is a feeling of accomplishment that few othere will ever experience.  I medically retired from the Marine Corps 31 years ago, I spent two tours in Vietnam, and 12 years in the Corps, and I don't regret a single day of my serivce.  Neither will you -- GOOD LUCK !

Answer 4

It is not too difficult, as long as you show motivation and dedication. Try your best at everything, and when things are bad, keep going. Never quit, never cry, and never say die!
