Members who wish to join the Chinese Marine Corps must first undergo the test of "beast camp" training at the Marine Corps' field training base. Military subjects such as Sanda, grappling, fighting, assassination, and hard Qigong are A must for every Marine to master. After rigorous training and selection, qualified candidates can enter the ranks of the Marine Corps.
Recruits of the Marine Corps must also undergo various forms of rigorous training, such as resistance to high temperatures, severe cold, and dizziness. The standard for high-temperature training is to be able to withstand 3 to 4 hours of exposure in the scorching sun; the cold-tolerance training is to spend a night in the wilderness at minus 30 degrees Celsius, relying only on a quilt and a military coat. In the swimming training, each person has to swim 3,000 meters to 5,000 meters, and they have to swim 500 meters with full gear and a weight of 20 kilograms. In cross-country training, each person is required to run 5 kilometers in full gear and carry a weight of 20 kilograms for no more than 20 minutes.
After completing the first year of physical fitness and basic subject training, recruits will begin special professional training in the second year. Every year during the hottest season, the Marine Corps pulls troops to the Beibu Gulf to receive up to 25 weeks of basic tactical training and maritime armed crossing training. The Marine Corps refers to this training plan as "sea training." In the first few weeks of participating in "sea training", the Marines had to complete 30 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 200 sit-ups, and 200 horseback punches every night before going to bed. They would also be hit by a rush of energy at any time in their dreams. The emergency muster whistle sounded. In addition, Marines have to conduct a 10-kilometer armed cross-country trip every day.
In addition to exercising your physique beyond ordinary people, you must also cultivate a strong will. At the Marine Corps tactical training site, reporters saw military coaches driving Marines down trenches and then firing machine guns at their heads with air-burst bombs with a certain lethality. The team members had to instinctively lie on the ground. Listening to the loud noise in my ears. The coach said that this is to allow the Marines to experience the "rain of bullets" on the battlefield firsthand, so that they can face it calmly in future actual combat.
Diving training is a special training course for training Marine Corps "frogmen". In the 20-meter by 40-meter swimming pool at the Marine Corps training camp, "frogmen" must dive into 5-meter-deep water as required, tie 6 knots on a rope accurately according to the required size, and then Unlock it according to the signal given by the instructor. Only after successfully completing this project can the next step of "underwater survival" training be carried out.
The main purpose of underwater survival training is to enable trainees to build survival confidence and to cultivate the "frogman's" psychological endurance, behavioral self-control and courage to overcome difficulties in dangerous environments. During training, "frogmen" are thrown into the water with their hands and feet tied, and they must find ways to surface to breathe oxygen. During diving training with oxygen bottles, instructors often unplug the "frogman's" oxygen tube, turn off the oxygen supply knob, or tear off the oxygen mask. This is a technique for training "frogmen" to breathe underwater. The "frogmen" must solve the problem of survival in anaerobic conditions by themselves. It is this kind of cruel training that enables Chinese "frogmen" to develop extraordinary underwater survival skills.
During the entire service period of the Marine Corps, in addition to mastering hundreds of sea, land, air, and police weapons, they also have to master parachuting, demolition, diving, climbing, skiing, vehicle and boat driving, and grappling. Skills such as fighting, position judgment, and map recognition. In addition, it is also necessary to master the methods of obtaining intelligence information such as reconnaissance, prisoner capture, prisoner interrogation, photography, and video recording, as well as the skills to transmit intelligence through multiple channels such as coded communication.
The Amphibious Reconnaissance Team is the "team within a team" of the Marine Corps. They are responsible for special tasks such as sneaking into enemy islands for reconnaissance and assault. Compared with other ordinary team members, their skills are more extraordinary. And on the edge of this sharp knife, the unique style of Chinese women also shines - in June 1995, the Women's Marine Corps was officially established as part of the amphibious reconnaissance team. Since then, another beautiful scene has been added to the masculine male world of the Marine Corps. On the training ground, female team members jump steps, run stairs, practice single and parallel bars, and do cross-country training just like male team members; they also have to learn grappling, lurking to capture prisoners, landing on beaches, and surviving on desert islands. Today, they have won the reputation of "amphibious king flower".
If you join the Marine Corps without being fully prepared, you may suffer from depression if you cannot withstand the training.
