What do you do in Marine Boot Camp?

Answer 1

The toughest of all the branches, but not like "Full Metal Jacket" tough.

It's tough and humid and hot, but then you'll be prepared to take on anything. Good luck, Semper Fi and God bless!!!

Where do you go to Marine boot camp? It was EXACTLY like "Full Metal Jacket" tough during my time (1981). The movie IMO was the closest thing you can get to without actually going through it. Movie was fully detailed ---down to the black toilet seats in the head. Just be prepared to endure the hardest thing you ever did in your life. Maybe you will come out of Marine boot camp "Full Metal tough".

It is the SINGLE toughest thing you will ever, possibly, accomplish in your life. "Full Metal Jacket" is a dead on balls accurate depiction (with one exception...those ropes the actors are climbing do NOT..repeat DO NOT have knots in them..lol). Spent a record 319 days aboard the Island, (93-94) ran on a broken left leg for 10 days of BWT. USMC Boot Camp is DEFINITELY hard core. It's ALL mental, though. The physical part will come with a lot of hard work and sweat. The mental part is what you gotta work through. You hafta WANT IT. Semper Fi!

Answer 2
