- Each and every Marine Corps recruit has to survive 12 weeks of Boot Camp. It is perhaps the toughest 12 weeks anyone can imagine - especially for those whose average age is 19. To become one of the few and the proud, these recruits must first learn just to survive.

Movie Reviews of Making Marines
Movie Review: If you want to become a Marine, or if your son or daugher is signing up
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very good documentary to show to your son or daughter if they are considering the Marine Corps. The young men and women who are energized by it, are the right ones for the job. The documentary is not a sales job and it doesn't make the challenges look easy.
This is also an excellent DVD if your son or daughter is signing up and you are being drafted as a Marine Corps parent. (No one tells parents of Marine recruits that they have just been drafted but, ah, welcome to our world.) You might want to show it to Grandma and Grandpa too. The Corps, for all its traditions, has changed quite a bit since the 1960s.
I was impressed that the Marines allowed this documentary to be made, but that just shows how much I had to learn about the Corps, and how different they are from the other services. Kids who are going to get through this are the ones who are excited by what they see here.
Boot camp is a psychological test and it weeds out those who won't be right for the Corps. But in addition to stress this documentary shows humor (those Drill Instructors can be hilarious--though a smart recruit will not crack a smile) comraderie and the enormous value that the Corp places on teamwork.
