Marine boot camp - 12 weeks Army boot - 8 weeks Marines are generally known to be more strict and disciplined while the army has greater numbers.......of course it depends on if you ask an army cat or marine. I was both, and the Marines train all the time and are EXTREMELY strict on physical fitness tests, so I would say the USMC does.
Marines
The marines wing of the military has better opportunities and responsibilities as compared to the army.
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.
Because they have better training and firepower against the drug cartels.
It depends on what you mean by army. The army doesn't include marines who experience some of the toughest training in the world. Personally I'd say the SAS as even after their initial training stage never actually stop training.
The main points of differentiation between the Marines and Army are their primary mission, size, training, and culture. The Marines are a smaller branch focused on amphibious operations and known for their rapid response capabilities. The Army is a larger branch responsible for land-based warfare and has a more diverse range of missions. The Marines undergo a more intense and specialized training regimen, while the Army has a broader range of career options. Culturally, the Marines often have a stronger sense of tradition, camaraderie, and pride.
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.
The Marines are Marines. The Army has Army Special Forces AKA Green Berets.
Royal marines join full time and do 32 weeks training Royal marines reserve are like the territorial army, you still have a job (teacher, doctor) but you do one weekend a month training for 18 months and support the full time marines
do marines go to training on Sunday
They go to Ft. Benning for the Army Airborne training. There were a few in my class.
They're the same throughout all branches of the military.
