There is just something about United States Marines...
Perhaps it's the iconic dress blues or the mystique of Boot Camp as is portrayed in popular film, but when you look into the eyes of a Marine, you will see an intensity that is seldom matched. Marines are just different, but why are they?
In its recruit training, known as Boot Camp, The United States Marine Corps nearly replicates the level of stress, fear, and intensity of combat. It is this experience which separates Marines from other branches of the U.S. military and instills a lifelong pride within its members.
If you are drawn to the Marine Corps or perhaps have the title of Marine for yourself, then follow this journey onto the hot training grounds of Parris Island and read the thoughts of a Marine recruit. You are invited to United States Marine Corps Recruit training, where a recruit's world is ruled by intensity and violence of action.
