Being a Former US Marine myself { 3RD Amphibious Assault Battallion 5Th Marines } I can tell you that Basic training can be pretty rough but pales in comparrison to anything that the Marine Corps Snipers ,Aviators and Recon have to go through. My training was pretty hardcore in terms of close in combat and beach landings ,it gets really nasty when you actually have to engage someone up close and personal so you train accordingly. But that is nothing compared to the mental and physicall attrition it takes to make it through any of the more specialized forms of training that are associated with flying or anything stealth related Marine Corps or otherwise.
I have had the privelage to meet and work side bye side with some SAS forces and those guys are just plain freaky, they are almost machine like in their toughness, they really do live up to their reputation of being bad asses and thats no joke.
Ok if you'r not lying then answer me this. Do you believe that there's some people that have never went to the military but can handle a gun,and act like a natural on the battle field when they've had no training?
