No. Marines that go to dive school do so through the Navy.
Airborne is an Infantry unit that has the ability to deploy by air to the battlefield. Marines (if you are just talking about their Infantry) are an Expeditionary group that deploy by sea and work as the Infantry of the Navy. Rangers are a Special Operations Capable group that have the ability to deploy by Air Sea or Land in any part of the world within a few hours notice. Marine Corps Recruits go through Bootcamp and Army Recruits go through Basic Training, although they are very similar Bootcamp is longer by a few weeks and is said to be tougher due to the mentality that EVERY Marine is a Rifleman first. Becoming Airborne is an Army Special School that is Volunteerd for by recruits if they are in Infantry and have the abilities to become Airborne. Rangers are only a part of the Army although some Marines are invited to attend Ranger School. All Rangers must go through basic training as well as Airborne School on top of Attending the Ranger Assesment Program before being allowed to attend Ranger School. Ranger School is said to be among the toughest training available in the Military. Ranger school is an Intense 61 day training program that is divided into 4 phases that pushes candidates beyond their physical and mental abilities. There is an extremely high failure/dropout rate but for those who do graduate, they are considered are among the elite and can be compared with some of the worlds elite special forces groups such as the Navy SEALs MARSOC Marines and Green Berets. - - - - - Airborne doesn't necessarily mean infantry. The 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg has every kind of unit you'd find in any other division--engineers, artillery, supply--but every soldier in the division is airborne. You've got to look at the service past your initial training...and either the 82nd Airborne or the Rangers would be better than the Marines because the Rangers and 82nd jump into battle, and the Marines walk.
No, not all Marines go through Officer Candidate School (OCS). OCS is specifically for individuals who want to become commissioned officers in the Marine Corps. Enlisted Marines, on the other hand, undergo different training programs to prepare them for their specific roles and responsibilities.
Yes. To be a "cook" in the Marines you enlist, go through boot camp, and they assign you your job. They will give you a test to see what you would be good doing, and promise you what you want to hear, but it doesn't mean you will end up where you want. If you want to be a chef the Marines is not the place to be. Go to a culinary school to be trained.
yes, you can go to college through the Marines. but afterwards you automatically HAVE to serve for 4 years i believe
High-school Diploma
War, the air force is the only branch that allows you to go into school first
Well, this could be seen as a trick question - "soldier" is a term exclusive to the Army - Marines are Marines. That aside, the answer is no. If someone receives an honourable discharge from the Marines, and decides to reenlist into the Army, they could go through RIP (if they're below E5) to go into a Ranger Battalion, or, if they're E5 or higher, they could go directly in if they have already graduated from the US Army Ranger School (which some Marines do attend).
No, but if you're being sent to Ranger school, you'll more than likely be sent to Airborne school enroute, if you're not already jump qualified. You must be jump qualified to serve in any of the Ranger Battalions, however.
It doesn't matter they are both very helpful both are very good options in the military but i heard that airbourne troops are not used as much anymore due to the war in the middle east. i was also looking into the airbourne rangers but decided to go with the marines
No they do not, but if someone wants to switch branches into the marines they must go through marine basic
do marines go to training on Sunday
