Welcome to the platoon page of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) Recruit Training Regiment (MCRD).

We make Marines for the U.S. Marine Corps platoon, if you want to be a member, you've got to take part of this platoon. You will learn important skills, such as breaching, marksman training, stealthy- and tactical movement and EVAC movements.

Not everyone is going to pass. That is for sure, but to make it, you must be able to listen, and do as you've been told. If not? Then we can not use you. Also, you might be good on your own, that's not what we want. We're a team. If you do no fit in the team, nothing personal, but you'll have to leave.

I think you should think twice about this. Don't whine if people are yeling at you, listen to them, think is they might be right. If you're sure, then feel free to apply.
