Life Away From Home

There is a reason that boot camp is so emotionally and physically draining. The deployed life of a Marine is difficult. While they have the shortest average length of deployment in the military, they have the highest average number of deployments per career. They spend 80% of their deployment time somewhere away from the states, or working 16-18 hour days in support of operations stateside. Marines are also constantly traveling and moving throughout the three divisions, which are Camp Lejeune, NC, Camp Pendleton, and Okinawa, Japan.
