Yeah, I think they were just talking about the training aspect, it was way more physically demanding, longer, and more in depth according to them.

I definately wouldn't want to mess with the army guys even though they aren't as "Hardcore" as the marines.

When I said the Marines were the Hardest, I wasn't saying it meaning "Hardcore, badass, etc". What I meant was Harder as in "Difficult, strict, disciplined". I'd be a complete liar to say that all marines were more HARDCORE then anyone else. I'm sure a Navy Seal would rip me apart. But what I am saying is, if you were to see me and a navy seal next to each other, on base, in our old cammies that required ironing, you would have known right off the bat who was the marine by appearance alone. That's because it's drilled into every marine that their appearance will be above and beyond at all times while in uniform. While the other 3 branches don't require creases in their day to day uniforms, Marines require them in all uniforms, at all times while in garrison. We shine our boots, we iron our uniforms, and we shave daily, and get hair cuts everyweek. If you don't do any of that, you can expect an ass chewing. Anywho, nothing against any other branches. Every branch has it's role, and they do it well. Marines are there to follow orders and do what they are told on the drop of the dime, so it is drilled into their brains at all times even on the most minor shit.

If an Army Ranger decided he wanted to leave the Army, and go into the Marines, then he would have to go through our boot camp. I don't see why he'd do that because more then likely, he'd lose just about all his rank. He might come out of bootcamp an E3 at the most.

yeah its the most physical and mentally demanding of the 4 branches.
