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.
