Description
Training is a never-ending process in the Corps and to be in the Marines one has to be a trainor or trainee most of the time. Marines spend much of their time for this activity for this is
the only way to keep individual and unit skills at its peak for
combat. Although the Marine Corps Training Center is tasked with the
basic, advance and other career courses for each Marine - unit
commanders conduct their own training to ensure continuity either in garrison or in the operational area. The Marine Corps is the only unit in the armed forces that practice the rotation of its Battalions from
the operational area for the purpose of retraining and reequipping at its headquarters in Fort Bonifacio. Perhaps one outstanding feature of Marine Corps training is from the words of its third commandant, when
he stated "One outstanding custom is the desire of every Marine to
excel in everything he does - to do better than every other person.
This was imbued into each Marine during the basic training and followed through by the officers upon completion of training and then assignment to the line".
