The initial course which snipers go through to be selected as snipers is longer in the Marines. However, once selected, training is going to be intensive for snipers in both branches, and they'll end up being on par with each other.

Do snipers have to go through the same special operations training as other soldiers or marines?
Snipers have their own training program, in all branches. For a sniper serving in a special operations unit, such as the Army Rangers or Special Forces, Marine MARSOC, Navy SEALs, et. al, they will also have to undergo that training, as well.
How many months of training do Marines have to go through?
Boot Camp last for 13 weeks followed by training in the assigned specialty.
How many weeks of training do Marines have to go through?
Boot Camp is currently 13 weeks.
How do Marines go through Airborne school?
They go to Ft. Benning for the Army Airborne training. There were a few in my class.
Do all marines go through OCS?
No, not all Marines go through Officer Candidate School (OCS). OCS is specifically for individuals who want to become commissioned officers in the Marine Corps. Enlisted Marines, on the other hand, undergo different training programs to prepare them for their specific roles and responsibilities.
I am are going to join the military but before I do you want know who has better training the Rangers the Airborne or the Marines?
Airborne is an Infantry unit that has the ability to deploy by air to the battlefield. Marines (if you are just talking about their Infantry) are an Expeditionary group that deploy by sea and work as the Infantry of the Navy. Rangers are a Special Operations Capable group that have the ability to deploy by Air Sea or Land in any part of the world within a few hours notice. Marine Corps Recruits go through Bootcamp and Army Recruits go through Basic Training, although they are very similar Bootcamp is longer by a few weeks and is said to be tougher due to the mentality that EVERY Marine is a Rifleman first. Becoming Airborne is an Army Special School that is Volunteerd for by recruits if they are in Infantry and have the abilities to become Airborne. Rangers are only a part of the Army although some Marines are invited to attend Ranger School. All Rangers must go through basic training as well as Airborne School on top of Attending the Ranger Assesment Program before being allowed to attend Ranger School. Ranger School is said to be among the toughest training available in the Military. Ranger school is an Intense 61 day training program that is divided into 4 phases that pushes candidates beyond their physical and mental abilities. There is an extremely high failure/dropout rate but for those who do graduate, they are considered are among the elite and can be compared with some of the worlds elite special forces groups such as the Navy SEALs MARSOC Marines and Green Berets. - - - - - Airborne doesn't necessarily mean infantry. The 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg has every kind of unit you'd find in any other division--engineers, artillery, supply--but every soldier in the division is airborne. You've got to look at the service past your initial training...and either the 82nd Airborne or the Rangers would be better than the Marines because the Rangers and 82nd jump into battle, and the Marines walk.
What was the largest marine corps unit at the invasion of Normandy?
General MacArthur strategy to defeat Japan would go through the occupied islands held by Japan. The Marines had amphibious training. So it made sense for MacArthur to utilize the Marines to defeat Japan. So the Marines did not have a unit at the invasion of Normandy.
You have completed Marine Basic Training Do you have to complete army as well to re enlist in the army?
No, you do not. The Marines is the only branch of Service that the US Army accepts people without going through any form of introduction training.
How many different Marine jobs are there?
There are many kinds from snipers to infantry to air force. Each and everyone of them are in the USMC. Plus, there are different types of Army, Navy, and Air Force.The list can go on and on. But in the marines you have to go through several steps such as a 14 week workout plan at the base, plus writing, which you must pass. In return you get more training but better results than the army and more high-tech equipment.
Would you have to go through marine basic training after the army?
Yes. All enlisted Marines must complete boot-camp and either school of infantry or Marine combat training, regardless of previous service in another branch.
Can a soldier in the USMC transfer to the army rangers?
Well, this could be seen as a trick question - "soldier" is a term exclusive to the Army - Marines are Marines. That aside, the answer is no. If someone receives an honourable discharge from the Marines, and decides to reenlist into the Army, they could go through RIP (if they're below E5) to go into a Ranger Battalion, or, if they're E5 or higher, they could go directly in if they have already graduated from the US Army Ranger School (which some Marines do attend).
Will the marines put you through college?
