'''Basic Marine Training''' for enlisted personnel consists of an intensive 32-week program. Basic training is a combat oriented course focused on making the Recruit a formidable fighting force to defend and protect member worlds throughout the United Federation of Planets. | |||
Enlisted recruits enter basic training at the grade of E-1, Private. The Private is trained during basic training in a multitude of subjects ranging from the academic to the practical. Some examples of academic training the Private would train in would be Xenobiology, Basic Linguistics, Alien Culture, Strategic and Tactical Studies, Communications, and Drill and Ceremony. | |||
Practical exercises physically train the Private for the duties the Private will encounter as a SF Marine. Physical exercises include physical training and fitness, Hand to Hand Combat Skills, Marksmanship, Land Navigation, Use and Care of Equipment, and Leadership Training. The Marine is first and foremost a combatant, and the Private is taught this philosophy from the beginning. It is understood that Starfleet’s first focus is scientific exploration and diplomacy, but the need for defensive combat capability exists and the Marines fill that need. | |||
Most recruits graduate the Marine Basic Training with a grade increase to E-2, Private First Class. After graduation, the PFC undergoes additional training in his/her chosen OS (Occupational Speciality), which will be that Marine’s chosen job within the Marine Corps. The length of this specialty training varies depending on the OS chosen by the recruit at the time of enlistment. | |||
Once the Marine has successfully qualified in the chosen specialty, the Marine is assigned to a unit where the chosen specialty will be applied. There are Marine units assigned to planet based Federation facilities, starbases, and starships throughout the Federation. | |||
