I am going to say no, heck even the Army has different standards for different MOS's. We should not have different standards but we do.

They have been trying to develop the Super Soldier Military across the board since before my time.If you have the slightest imperfection such as hearing,vision or find irregularities you will be turned down or be asked to sign a waiver.With that said I believe they are looking for a higher standard in each military branch.Is a reform needed across the board I'm not the expert but times are changing.

As far as discipline and being woke up with trash cans being smashed, things being thrown and lots of yelling, then yes. The Navy and Air force need to experience that then maybe they wont be so soft

Each branch has its own needs.
While some things might be successfully "shared", there is too much that MUST be specialized for the Mission.

The content would be dependent to each of the services content and needs but the way is taught could use Marine methods and standards.

No. There is a reason for each branch to have the training that they provide. If wouldn't make sense to elongate the training at the Naval Training Centers to be equal to that of Marine Corps Recruit Depot. The Navy is training for an entirely different mission.
Same goes for Air Force and Army. They're training levels are based on what the mission is and also, in part, on tradition.
Let's hear it for the differences!

Until each service needs the same thing out of each volunteer prior to reaching their operational unit, the answer will remain no. Everyone always talks about how the Marine Corp boot camp is so much harder. Well I would certainly hope it was harder when they are a much smaller force. Do not get me wrong, I love and respect the Corps, however I think people fail to remember that each service has their strategic place in the grand scheme of unified land, air, and sea warfare.
