"Hello, my name is Staff Sergeant Montgomery with the United States Marine Corps Recruiting Office here in West Valley City, Utah. Today we're here to talk about a typical training day for a United States Marine. A typical day starts at five a.m., followed by breakfast, then a fast paced schedule, jam packed with everything from physical training to Marine Corps history. Maybe even first aid. Finishes with a couple hours of marching, followed by shower, shave, and a hygiene inspection. You are then in the rack, usually by 2100. A typical day outside of Marine Corps boot camp, or in the fleet, is, waking up at 06 in the morning every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, to go for a three mile run, as well as pull ups, push ups and crunches. Then you would go to your job in the Marine Corps. For example, a Marine Corps infantryman. A Marine Corps infantryman might train on proper patrolling techniques, as well as firing positions, and troop formations. Basically everything he's going to need to know to master the Marine Corps Infantrymen. Again, my name is Staff Sergeant Montgomery, and if you would like to learn more about being a United States Marine, please, give me a call at 801-967-9815. Or visit our website at www.marines.com."
