Transformation

Last week I went over the fitness procedures that are required upon joining the United States Marine Corps. Herezwhatwegonnado. This week I will be researching and sharing with all of ya'll what goes on when you have completed the fitness tests and are enlisted in boot camp. The first thing that you do is contact a recruiter. They will share all the necessary information that will be needed to get to boot camp. You will have a date set and pack. Then you'll be shipped off to begin your boot camp experience. You'll get off the plane and your 12 week experience will begin. Week 3 will send you right into the action with bayonet practices. Week 4 will be pugil sticks, where you will have to face a live human being in combat for the first time. Week 5 will be MCMAP, or Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. Week 6 will be rappelling, 7 will be rifle safety, week 8 is firing week, 9 is confidence course, week 10 is simulation of actual combat, week 11 is 54 straight hours of demanding physical exertion, and finally, week 12 is the emblem ceremony. As you can see, the 12 week transformation into a Marine is a difficult and demanding process but with it comes a lot of self pride and respect.
