Youth Marine Recruit Training

Upon joining a local Young Marine unit, youth undergo a 26-hour orientation program, generally spread out over 3 months of weekly meetings. This orientation is called Recruit Training. The youth learn general subjects such as history, customs and courtesies, close order drill, physical fitness, and military rank structure.

At the heart of our mission lies the commitment to foster a generation that is well-prepared to meet the challenges of tomorrow with confidence, integrity, and a deep-rooted desire to contribute positively to their communities and the nation at large.
