#TheStruggle
The 12 week training camp is not an easy road at all. However, most people who enlist are able to make it through, about 85%. The usual reasons for not making it through and graduating on time is due to injuries during boot camp. Along from the grueling physical exertion of energy that the recruits have to go through, they are also cut off from all forms of communication with others, aside from sending letters. They are not allowed to have phone calls, emails, or even see their families until the day prior to graduation. The aspiring-to-be marines are also held to a single title - "recruit." They are called nothing else throughout the boot camp, and must earn the title of Marine.

I think that's really admirable of you to want to become a Marine :) Yeah it's a lot of hard work but wouldn't you want the strongest people who were able to endure such a grueling process protecting our country? But as long as you're dedicated to the program it's definitely possible :)
