xxxrocknroll asked:


What kind of clothes do they give you? Will I be freezing in my bunk? Won’t everything, especially running, be 10x more difficult? Would everything still take place outside? =\
Obviously bootcamp isn’t going to be a breeze, that’s a given. I was just asking if it was harder in the winter? =\

Final Justice asked:


I’d like to remain competitive. I feel quite ill at ease entering marine boot camp with the knowledge that I am only capable of the bare minimum. Thanks! As usual, feedback from all armed forces members will be much appreciated!

mairdo51 asked:


Is it significantly different from just being a Marine?
Is it harder to adjust to the more physical focus of the Marine Corps Infantry?
Do they integrate fully into offensives, or must they stay back in case someone gets hurt?
