Basic training (boot camp) is required the summer before you begin at the Naval Academy. If you are thinking of the harshness of it all, the Marine Corps boot camp will be as it is concentrated into 3 months, however, the Naval Academy will stretch it out over 4 years. Due to the nature of the two it is not a fair comparison to think of them in the same context as their missions are different.

The Naval Academy is a 4 year school for training Officers. 4 years is rougher than 13 weeks.
