It is a pittance, but there are no pogie bait machines to squander it on.
You make about $150 per month in boot camp .
There isn't much of a difference as the Marines are both water and ground based Only major differences are ranks, boot camp is harder in Marines, and Navy is all Sea.
Your pay rate depends on your rank.
That depends on several things. First you must be in tremendous physical shape. If you are not, you will go through hell during boot camp and may even wash out. Second, you must be absolutely committed to the Marine Corps, or again, boot camp could overwhelm you. If you are not determined to make through boot camp, and you have any doubts about joining the marines, boot camp will be extremely hard and you won't have anything mental strength to continue. You must absolutely want to become a marine more than anything else in the world. Thirdly, you need to have some intelligence. You can't be a marine without some brain power. Yes, in boot camp, its all "do as your told", but after that, there are marine schools in everything from electronics, finance, human resources, ordinance, computers etc. The marine corps is no place for dummies. Fourthly, you must have a reason to go. Why are you joining the marines? Why not the navy, or the air force. If you can't come up with a good reason to join the marines, you don't belong. Fifthly, you should have a support group back home that wants to see you succeed there. Your parents are the best and you will find that joining the marines is much easier if they support you. Marines is no place to go to "run away from something". and last, find all you can about the marines before you sign up. talk to recruiters, talk to ex marines in your family or neighborhood. go on line and read everything you can. be knowledgeable and you will be better able to answer your own question.

Unfortunately, not much. My college transferred only 3 credits for Marine Corps boot camp.
Marines are part of the military, many will argue that the Marines are the best/highest trained military branch in the US military (now im not saying that there arnt special forces for other branchs that arn't better then Marines, all im saying is for basic training i'd have to say that the Marines are the best)
Marine Boot Camp does not cost money. Those that enlist are provided their uniforms, food and shelter as well as their training. They even pay those that are going through boot camp!
For the Navy, at least for the CEC, you'll train with the marines in Pensacola. You won't be able to call home much at all, but it will be the hardest part of your career. After that, life will seem easy.
Boot camp costs between $5000-$10000. This is for a 30 day stay.
A PC is much better than A Mac With Boot Camp because you do not have to run bootcamp.
No, it is not. It means an early part of military training that is very rigorous and some things they have you doesn't make much sense. One is to never walk on the grass. It can be so drilled into you that even as a officer, you will never step on it. In boot camp, if you did, they would make you do many, many sit ups or other intense drills.
The average price of a MSCE boot camp will depend on exactly how long you are going as well as which company you are going through. Cisco for example costs $7,000 for a 14 day course.
