I’m going to Marine Corps boot camp in a few weeks. I’m not a physical badass or anything, but I can easily exceed the physical strength requirements for Marine Corps Basic Training. I don’t consider myself stupid. I can recall the 11 general orders without difficulty. I can follow instructions.

However, one issue just popped into my mind. I’m not a full American. Although I have U.S. citizenship, I came from a different country, so I have accent. I look different (I’m Asian as the title implies). But, I’m fully capable of understanding, speaking, and writing English… Well, sometimes, I make people repeat themselves because I couldn’t understand them the first time, but no major difficulties. And most importantly, I’m willing to serve this country.

I’m kinda worried that I would be treated differently because of my ethnicity. I’d be singled out and picked on a lot by Drill Sergeants. I DO NOT mind taking on the challenges that every other recruit does. If others have to crawl in the mud, then I will crawl in the mud too. If they do 50 push-ups, I will do 50 push-ups too. But I wouldn’t like it if I get some sort of punishment from Drill Sergeants just because of the way I look or speak.

I won’t be stupid at boot camp. I will shut my mouth and open my eyes and ears. I won’t look for any negative attention from Drill Sergeants. If I mess up, I will take responsibility for that. But, will they pick on me a lot beccause I’m Asian? I know there aren’t many Asians in U.S. military, but theres gotta be at least 1 or 2. right? And I bet some of you that went to Marine Boot camp saw how Asians were treated there.. any comments?

was replaced by a "mentor" drill instructor? instead of a drill instructor screaming and belittling you a drill instructor that takes you under his wing and teaches you with firmness and respect? i think the "mentor" approach would make for a better fighting man. alot of techniques in Marine boot camp is outdated and needs to be changed because people change, killhat drill instructors are no longer needed in this day of technology. how many of u agree?
i know from experience because im a former Marine and the things the killhat done were unnescessary, brutal, and not productive

im a 20year old healthy male, i leave for boot camp in San Diego on June 22nd next month. So far i can do 13 pull ups, 50 situps, 40 push ups and can run a mile and a half in 10 minutes. I would like this question to be answerd by Marines, What type of workouts should i work on, what do most of the workouts in the Marines consist of, should i start running with a back pack full of weights up a hill and do all kinds of pullups and situps and push ups or what, please give me all the advise possible so i can make a workout routine that will get me prepared for Boot camp. And how hard was Marine Boot Camp? is it almost to the point of being impossible?

The Marine Guidebook of Essential Subjects is one book that you will need to know before you graduate from Marine Corps Boot Camp. You will need to know this book inside and out and from top to bottom. You will need to learn what is on the pages and be able to recite to your Drill Instructor when you are asked a question that is referenced in the book. To offer an incorrect answer or to hesitate in providing that answer will not be a good thing to happen to you.

What most individuals do not realize before they go to Marine Corps Boot Camp is that the material that needs to be memorized is in and of itself, not that difficult to master. The problem with most recruits is that they spend all of their time exercising and doing sit ups and pull ups and running. More often than not the academics of Parris Island, or San Diego MCRD go unnoticed. This is where recruits slip, stumble and sadly fail in boot camp.

When we say “fail in boot camp” we are not suggesting that many people flunk out because of their grades. What we do want to point out to you is that Marine Corps Boot Camp is all about stress. Let me say that once again…Marine Corps Boot Camp is all about stress.  The stress comes at you from every angle from learning how to eat and how to get dressed and how to go to the bathroom. You will need to learn it the Marine Corps way.

Learning to do things the Marine Corps way will place an amount of stress on your emotions that being able to learn and comprehend simple basic facts becomes difficult.  The entire environment of boot camp is designed to be fast paced and with a lightening frenzy.  To be able to control your time in boot camp you should learn and memorize the mundane facts before you arrive and stand on the little yellow footprints.  By knowing much of the “stuff” before you arrive will mean that you will have less stress to deal with and since you have less stress, you will have a better cahnce of completing boot camp and graduating as a United States Marine.

As you can see in the Table of Contents from the Marine Guidebook of Essential Subjects there are quite a few things that you need to learn, memorize and live.  When you do that is of vital importance to your ability to be a success in Marine Corps Boot Camp.

It is our suggestion to you that you order the book and learn what is inside the covers.  You do not need to memorize the entire book but you really need to be exposed to the material before your Drill Instructor gives you one.

The choice is up to you.  Prepare now academically or cram to learn it later when you have less time to do so.  If you learn it before you go it will increase your odds of not only surviving boot camp but it will also provide you with the ability to excel.

Whatever you decide to do the choice is yours, but the wise choice is to prepare now. 

Semper Fi!

Marine boot camp should take it easy alittle, maybe they would get more recruits, how many of u agree?
just talk to the recruits, they dont have to get yelled at, recruits dont have to be hit on, they dont have to be blanket partied. just talk to them and teach them thru classroom instruction and applied field training, how many of u agree?

battle gear on, floating on water! i mean combat boots and all! is this training only unique to the Marine Corps? and one other question for Marines and former Marines, did any of you notice that during third phase of Marine boot camp, even though it is still challenging the drill instructors dont scream at you as much as they have during first and second phase? lol, one more question during the week recruits are assigned to mess duty do the drill instructors have a week off during the training cycle? i dont remember seeing any one of them during this period

How much personal time per day does a recruit get in US Marine boot camp? I’m thinking about enlisting in the Marines and I’ve been playing guitar for ten years but if I do enlist I’d still like to be able to practice each day and I was wondering if that would be possible in boot camp with all the other training you have to do?
this was kind of rhetorical BUT i think it’s dumb at the same time because i’ve seen guitar players in the marine corps jazz ensemble and i don’t know how i’d be that proficient in an audition if i didn’t practice for what would be the equivalent of a season
