Hi Tom,
I was playing a little with "Nathan Branden" in ASA this evening and a
question occured to me and I'm sorry to say I don't know the answer.
My understanding is that Marine Corps Officers don't go to boot camp
(Mustangs excepted). I know they must do some kind of training but I
have no idea what the requirements are.
I should be ashamed to admit it but I guess I'm too old to let my
crappy memory bother me.
Thanks for any help in enlightening the vast empty spaces in my mind.

PS...I know there are other Marines in the Group but you were the
first one that poped into my mind. )
Sometimes it doesn't pay to stand out. LOL


I'm not Tom and not an ex-jarhead .... (Navy) ..... but if the Marines are
like the Navy, the officers do indeed do a "boot camp" although it is much
shorter in duration than the boot camp the enlisted attend. Of course,
Navy training was a bit tougher, so maybe the Marines don't have to.
(Remember .... the Marines are a branch of the Navy)

Squiids - can't live with 'em, can't get there without 'em. :)

And it's former Jarhead thank you very much. :)
