What New Marine Corps Recruits Go Through In Boot Camp | Boot Camp | Business Insider

We got an inside look at the United States Marine Corps’ intense 13-week basic training program. Senior video correspondent Graham Flanagan spent five days at the Marine Corps Recruit Training Depot in Parris Island, South Carolina, where he observed different companies at various stages of training.

Recruits endure a series of intense physical challenges such as entering a gas chamber, rappelling down a 47-foot-tower, and fighting each other with “pugil sticks.” The Marine Corps is the only US military branch that separates male and female recruits during basic training. In a statement to Business Insider, a spokesperson from the Marine Corps Recruit Training Depot at Parris Island said, “The same gender platoon model allows for appropriate acclimation to the training environment, development of key relationships with drill instructors, and optimal focus during the beginning of their transformation.”

After weeks of extreme physical and psychological challenges, training culminates with “The Crucible,” a 54-hour event where recruits endure exhausting combat scenarios while running on minimal food and sleep.

  1. I have so much respect for everyone who serves and protects our country. But Mental, and Physical pain for only 20k a year really??????? These brave Men and Women are putting their lives on the line for us only to be making McDonald's pay thats really ridiculous.

  2. In 1969 Basic Training was a little shorter. At least at Parris Island. If you are in fairly good shape and let a lot of stuff go in one ear and out the other it really isn’t that bad. Just my opinion.
