Recruit Study Guide
Recruit Study Guide
"We understand that passing our very tough recruit training program can be difficult. Especially to potential Marines who do not attempt to give an honest try. First I would like to say that the rumors about us are slightly true, we are hard to get into. But, it is over exaggerated. When you first received your email with the links pointing you to this page your now reading, this was probably the first time you saw the level of commitment that is required from you to pass our training. And if your like everybody else, your immediately second guessing your decision. Do not let the very long list of material trick you, all you need to do on your part is some lazy reading in the areas highlighted below and come prepared to your training Orientation Day. If you do that then I can promise you that your chances of making it into this unit will increase significantly." |
In the 3rd Marines we mimic as much as we can off the real USMC and its culture. And as such, what is written above is the first and last time you (as a recruit) will hear us speaking to you during your training as equals. Because in our eyes (like the real corps), recruits have yet to earn the title of US Marine. More about what to expect during your training can be found in the "General Rules and FAQS while your a Recruit" MCI.
In order to pass Boot Camp and become a Marine with the 3rd MAR, you must first pass the final exam. The Final Exam is held immediately after the "Crucible" on the 4th and last day of your recruit training. Below is a helpful chart detailing what areas you should focus on and which areas you are safe to just briefly get a understanding of.

IMPORTANCE |

| Very Important Areas. Be sure to have read through these MCI's a few times and study them like you would a light test in school. The General Orders however, must be memorized. | ||||
| General Orders | E1.1001.4 |  |
||
| Real USMC History | G1.1001.1 | |
||
| Marine Corps Lingo and communications V1 | F1.1001.1 | |
||
| Proper radio use V1 | F1.1002.1 | |
||
| Discharging and Punative Actions | E1.1001.8 | |
||
| Fairly Important Areas. Best approach would be to read through these a few times to get a good understanding of these areas. But do not try to memorize all of it, just get a grasp of them. | ||||
| Etiquette and Policies | E1.1001.5 | |
||
| Mission Statement | E1.1001.3 | |

| 3/3 Unit History | G1.1001.2 | |

| Very Basic Areas. One Read through should do the trick. But remember, there are test questions from even these MCI's, but its pretty obvious what each question will be from each MCI in this category. Others we just want you to read so you have an idea what to do when training in these areas occur during Boot Camp. | ||||
