The most overlooked factor by Marine Recruits is how mentally tough the training can be. If you are in superior physical condition when you enter it will help. Only early childhood training can provide you with the "Can Do" attitude needed. If you enter the program lacking the zeal, without the love of a challenge and a full commitment, you will surely fail. You've "Gotta Have Heart".
