Here's a trailer for a USMC recruit training documentary. Of all that I've seen, this seems to capture the intensity. Hollywood waters things down and hypes a lot up.

A South Texas news station had a 3 part special which overviewed training.

Just thought I'd share a little bit of what I had the pleasure of doing.

The Marine Corps doesn't have a medical/dental division. So, we rely on the Navy. For that reason, the Navy gets my respect. However, their physical fitness standards post boot camp is a joke (unless you're a SEAL). There's certainly a given allure with becoming a SEAL but compared to USMC Force Recon, they're just another elitist covert operation group. Everyone has a purpose and the SEALs have a legacy of doing well.

BUUUUUT,
