SGT (Join to see) Does the Army have anything as detailed as the MC program? Would imagine the Army has a lot more occupational specialties to analyze and evaluate to come up with something similar.

I don't know anymore. I found a site to be an infantry soldier in the Army. It's not as defined as the Marine infantry is. It sounds like the basics you would need to know to be in the infantry. Here's the URL.

Very comprehensive article and program. I would hate to be tasked with coming up with the program or reducing it to writing in the form of an OpOrder.

It's a lot more detailed than I thought it would be Capt Tom Brown. The Marine corps is not only looking for a few good men and women. They are looking for smart men and women. Their physical tests are tough but it will weed out the wooses.

You can't be a wimp and expect to lead.

You can't be a wimp and expect to follow as well as lead.

SGT (Join to see) - I was looking from the other side of the coin.

I didn't mean anything by what I wrote. I think if a person is a wimp, they can't lead or follow.

SGT (Join to see) - I've met some that were worthy of their rank, and some that weren't worth spitting on.
