How do marines train in Camp Pendlton?
Camp Pendleton is a combat training base. Please note "COMBAT TRAINING".
The US Army has stepped up their training for the war in Afghan Are the Marines going to step up their training as well?
The Marines train harder than anyone. If they "stepped up" their training, Marines would die before getting to Afghanistan. Even though the Army may have stepped up their training, it's not even half of what the Marines do.
What is the toughest branch in the military?
The USMC is currently the most difficult to get into. USMC basic training is arguably the hardest boot camp of all branches. Sorry dude, but SEAL training is ridiculously hard, and even though Marines definitely train like hell, SEALs take the cake. Also, surprisingly few people are actually kicked out SEAL training, the vast majority D.O.R. (drop on request) cause it's too hard. SEAL training is SPECIAL FORCES. Look at the answer: toughest BOOT CAMP (BASIC). No doubt SEAL training is the toughest but, for basic the CORPS is the toughest, even SEALS have to go through BASIC. I agree. The Marine boot camp is the toughest. *Comment from personal experiance. ;)
What does a platoon guide do in the Army National Guard basic training?
There is no Army National Guard basic training. It is basic training at one of the US Army's active duty training base. All active, reserve, and guard members train together as one. The platoon guide is basically a leader of the platoon.
How many years does a marine train?
Marines train for 13 weeks in boot camp and then go to the school of infantry for a while and then get their MOS training at special Marine schools. So I would say about a year.
Why can a colorblind person join marine sniper but not army sniper?
I believe it is because the Marines train there snipers to look at shapes not colors because colors can be camo and blend with the surrounding area. In WWII they used colorblind people to spot camo because they didn't see the color just the shape of what it was hiding.
Do marines use airsoft guns for combat training?
Yes, I believe they do. They use systema airsoft guns, which are the best you can get. The marines used to train with paintball guns several years ago, but they switched to airsoft because airsoft is more realistic.
Do women marines train with men?
Yes marine woman train with marine men.
How do you get selected for sniper training?
First, you have to volunteer for it. You'll be selected based on the need to train snipers in your unit, your physical abilities, your marksmanship abilities, and whether or not you're judged to be ready for such a course.
Who has the hardest basic training in the military?
i think that the royal marines commandos have a reputation for being one of the toughest 32 week basic training course, but there are other American forces like the U.S navy seals who also have a very hard training course. Navy SEALs hands down have the toughest training in the US and second toughest in the world, Spetznaz being first.
Do marines train with paintball?

How do soldiers train for the navy?
