the mariens have the longest and toughest boot camp. everyone who wants to be a marien has to go through their basic this includes newly comissioned offciers and transfers from other branches of the military. you need to do some serious thinking about joining the corps!

Make sure that before you go you can run 3 miles in 20 minutes, do 100 situps in 2 minutes, and at least 15 pullups. If you can do that, that is a great start. Then to be really prepared, it would be a good idea to practice running with a backpack with 30-40 pounds in it, swimming with a full set of clothes on, and lots of mountain climbers!

It would also be a good idea to learn your 11 General Orders, complete rank structure, and any general Marine Corps history you can get a hold of.

I don't know if this is any good, but the official US Marines website is :
