Comment on What should I know before I leave for USMC boot camp? by Travis

You sound very confident, that's awesome! You need to memorize the ranking structure, general orders, the 14 leadership traits, and the Marine Corps hymn. Your recruiter will give you a list of things to to bring and the things not bring. You don't really need to study for the ASVAB, its mostly general education. The main score is the AFQT which includes Arithmetic reasoning, paragraph comprehension, word knowledge, and mathematics knowledge. I got a 74 on the ASVAB without studying and I've been out of high school for four years. You'll do fine.

The 11 general orders of a sentry, the Marines' Hymn, the Marines' Rifle Creed (not mandatory, but always nice to know), and just exercise like crazy! Running, pull ups, sit ups. Boot camp will take care of the rest for you. Good luck!

Yelling, bunks, haircuts, yelling, physical endurance, sweating, yelling, sleeplessness… did I forget to mention yelling?

But the end game is worth the price or the horrors of boot camp.

Comment on I want to know all about the USMC boot camp and how to prepare for it? by Izzy

I don’t know why everyone thinks you run everyday.You won’t be running miles everyday and theres not torture running or any of that shit.Boot camp is 13 weeks, but the first week is reception.You probably will hardly get any sleep during reception theres so much to do.It’s not pt or anything just filling out forms, shots and so on.I suggest you check out this site http://www.mcrdpi.usmc.mil/matrix/matrix.pdf it basically gives you a brief glimpse about how the weeks go in boot camp and so on.

You’ll start running 1.5 miles at the start they slowly build you up and no they aren’t gonna force you to run fuckin fast it will be a steady pace.At the end of boot theres a 5 mile "fun run" if you can’t do that then you really fucked up and don’t belong there.Just work on running push ups and pull ups and also sit ups make sure your in decent shape when you go so it will be much easier.You don’t wanna be that guy who can’t do shit.

All hell will break loose, and men you don’t even know will begin yelling at you at the top of their lungs. Nothing you do will appease them, and you will begin to regret your decision to join. You will sweat more than you ever have before, and sleep less. About 3 months later you will have something to be proud of, and an experience that you will never forget.
