What is the crucible in marine boot camp?
The Crucible is finale so to speak for becoming a Marine where all of the things you’ve learned come in to play and it’s the ultimate test. You won’t get any sleep for 2-3 days, have very little food, march miles and miles, crawl through mud, water, grass, dirt, etc. Go through various obstacle courses that are somewhat mentally challenging (especially after no sleep for 48 hours) and on and on. Simply put, it’s the hardest training segment of any of America’s military branch’s boot camps so get ready for it.
