Train, so they are prepared when they go to war, the same as other branches of the Armed Forces when they are on a base, and not stationed in a war zone such as Afghanistan or Northern Mexico, or the border with North Korea.
In the sea, that is what 'marine' means.
Yes, Marines stationed on a Naval Base still have a Marine Corps Ball. The Marine Corps Ball is a traditional event that celebrates the birthday of the United States Marine Corps, and it is observed by Marines regardless of their duty station. The location of the base does not affect the celebration of this event.
they should but you will have to check
Several things, such as go to the PX and shop, on base bowling alleys and game rooms, tattoo shops, strip clubs, if you have enough time and distance isn't too far go home for visits to family and friends, hang out in barracks with fellow Marines, and there are several activities throughout the base and off base for you to keep busy... it just depends on which base you are stationed at.
Camp Pendleton is a combat training base. Please note "COMBAT TRAINING".
The US Marine Corps is not a university. They don't offer degrees. There are opportunities to acquire college credits through classes sometimes offered on base. You may also have the oppurtunity to attend college while in the USMC.
Definitely not. The strength and location of military units is not made public. The base location of the HQ and the mailing address are public knowledge.
A Marines recruiter will not intentionally lie to get you to join. However, they are taught to persuade you and in the course of doing so they may stretch the truth (i.e. your chances of getting a base or a job that you like over others).
I would have thought that you need to tell the Marines about your allergies and let them deal with it rather than trying to treat yourself while in training. Bear in mind that if your allergies are very bad it may be that you are medically unsuitable for a career in the Marines. For instance if you were on active service some place where you could not get the medication you need, you may become ill and place yourself and fellow marines in danger.
The Marines are part of the Navy. Originally they were solders who fought on ships, hence the name Marines. When pirates would try to take over a ship, Marines would fight against them. Later Marines were also used for land battles.
