Lets end this ignorance once and for all fanboy.The Royal Marines have the longest training in the World,but they also get weekends off.also,they combine everything into that 32 week period.

The USMC doesn't combine everything in a 32 week period.They have a 1 week processing and 12 week basic training course so 13 weeks with no weekends off,lol.After basic training they go through 59 days of infantry training.Or,they chose another mos:Radio,Tank Gunner,Cook,Explosives,and ect.A mos can last up to a year.The term used is "AIT".

Lets do the math and end this British flabergasted bullcrap.Royal Marines:32 weeks with weekends off = 160 training days.Then after 160 days the Royal Marines are sent to their unit.

USMC:Basic 13 weeks plus "AIT".Rember USMC training is split into two parts.So,for standard infantry Marines the training is 59 days.So,lets add this to our 13 weeks:150 days.....Then they're sent to their unit for more training.

So,the Royal Marines train 10-20 days longer than the USMC.Like I said folks,the Royal Marines.This British myth has ended here.Let's not even get into the training of the USMC Recon groups,lol.They train for up to another year,and Force Recon trainis up to 2 years more.I wish people would use reality instead of being biased for their country.This is the world I want to live in.
