"Hello, my name is Staff Sergeant Montgomery with United States Marine Corps recruiting office in West Valley City, Utah. Today we're here to talk about whether or not Marines train on Sunday while in basic training. Marines do not train on Sunday in basic training. In fact, Marines go to, get the option to go to church or do their laundry or take care of one of the many other things Marines are required to do like iron a uniform or study Marine Corps history. There are approximately 90 days in boot camp. Seventy of those are considered training days. Sunday is not one of them. However, Sunday is not a day off. On Sunday after church, the drill instructor may have you practice marching or field day. Field day is a very thorough cleaning where everything gets moved and mopped and deep cleaned and put back, as well as thoroughly clean their weapons. Again, Sunday is not a day off, however, it is not a training day. If you would like any more information, please give me call at 801-967-9815 or the website is www.marines.com."
