You do not have me on ignore? - but do not respond to my post?  Sorry dont buy it, you put me on ignore me when I called you out on your smashing windows for social justice, you may have removed it at some point - then why did you not respond to me, instead of where you did?  Usually the only times we see that is when you can not respond correctly because the person you want to respond to is on ignore.

Found this - in terms of training, marines had a much longer schedule then others.  Army was hand to hand and weapons training with basic rifle marksmanship in weeks 4-5. 

So glad to know that our safety depends on people whos brains will not mature till 25ish, another 8-10 years down the road for young recruits.

Training Week One

On Monday, expect a rude awakening. Drill Instructors are fierce and will address every mistake a recruit makes at this point.

You will be instructed on Marine Corps Core Values: Honor, Courage, and Commitment.

You’ll meet your new best friend—your M16A4 rifle. And you’ll learn the Rifleman’s Creed.

You will disassemble, clean, assemble and drill with your rifle until handling it becomes second nature.

You will run everywhere you go.

Sound off until your voice is hoarse.

When you’re not running, you’ll be practicing drill in formation with the platoon.

Week Six

Marine Boot Camp training week six consists of another PFT, the bayonet assault course, pugil stick fighting, martial arts training, and a written test on Marine Corps Customs, Courtesies, and Traditions.

There is also ongoing instruction and testing on Marine Corps history. A large part of recruit training, besides physical fitness, is understanding the history of the Marine Corps, which the recruit will soon be joining.

If recruits are training at San Diego, they will take buses to Camp Pendleton for Weapons and Field Training Battalion. Up next? Firing the M16 rifle.
