Should basic training be the same across all Branches of service?

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.

Hell no!

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 it is aarine corp thing only only the strong men can do what the marine corp traning we got and you have to be special to be a marine

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!

No.

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.

No, simply no, different branch’s, different missions, different capabilities. There’s pride in individuality between the branches.

No. Each branch has its own mission and their BMTS is developed around their mission. Therefore each service's BMTS must reflect those differences.

I would say as far as marksmanship, physical requirements, and level of discipline they should all be the same. By that I mean the highest standard that any military branch currently holds. Even if that means extending basic training for branches that have more technical roles. Any service member can be assigned to an area where they need the same skills that are taught to Marines and army infantryman in order to survive. That's supposed to be our base. That enables our leaders to send us anywhere for any reason to fill the need.

It's already watered down enough, making it universal would make it even weaker. Nothing personal, but Marines, or army infantry, require more than many others.. js...

I don't think basic training should be the same across all branches because we all have different missions. Therefore, the training should be geared toward said branch's individual mission.

No. You do not swim in the army

I'll answer that question with a question..."Does the enemy tries to kill you according to the branch you serve?"

No. He has only 1 standard...to kill you.

I think the current system is the way it should be. An airman having to go through all of the Marine Corps training of ruck marches, the Crucible, infantry tactics, etc. would be a complete waste. The same for a Navy Seaman. Those experiences and training would be a complete waste, as they are never going to be used in either service. Marines and Army go through grunt training because there is a high likelihood that they are going to need those skills and training. I guess if we were going to go to a combined "Forces" like Canada, you could do one basic training for all, and have it be similar to the Army or Air Force. Then have the more specialized training happen at technical schools or follow on training when recruits go their separate ways after graduation.

Never happen, until they all have the same pot of money....

Not sure where Space Force is going to learn to use the lightsaber, unless they plain on teaching everyone in basic these same technique.... Do you think Space Force will have an Elite group called the Jedi's?
