What Makes the Marines Different

While members of every service branch take pride in their jobs, Marines put more emphasis on the pride of service and fulfillment of mission than any of the other nonelite services. Partly this begins with the nature of Marine recruitment appeals: the Marines attract a different population. While being too gung-ho can be a criticism in other service branches, it's nearly a requirement for joining the Marines. Marine Boot Camp, the required basic training that every new Marine goes through, is notoriously tougher than basic training in the other services. The Marine Corps three largest basic training camps have significantly higher broken bone rates than the other services. Marine Corps death rates over a 13-year period commencing in 1980 are also highest among the services and highest among the youngest Marines, 17-to-24-years-old. Contributing factors may be that a Marine Corps career appeals to young persons able to tolerate increased risk and Marine Corps traditions emphasize honor, bravery and a willingness to accept that risk.
