Before marines become true marines, they must undergo extremely tough and physical training. This training is known as boot camp. In boot camp there are drill instructors who discipline and teach the marines. The drill instructors are usually always screaming or yelling at someone for something, to toughen their marines up. There are two places where these boot camps are located. One being Paris Island, South Carolina. The other being in San Diego California. The recruits west of Mississippi are more likely to be sent to the San Diego boot camp. The recruits in the east are sent to Paris Island in South Carolina, which is also where women are sent to train to become marines. While in boot camp you are not only expected to be in tip top physical shape, but also the amount of studying that is done is a large amount. On the non training days, your are training mentally, it may be how to take a part and put back together your weapon. Also it is highly recommended to start training well in advanced before arriving at boot camp. If you come in out of shape you will be placed in the PCP program (the physical conditioning platoon.) This is usually a 21 day program, but you are not allowed to be out of the program until you can do 3 pull ups, 40 sit ups in 2 minutes, and run 3 miles in 28 minutes.
