Question
What achievements have to be met to be in the marines?

Answer
Hello Ethan,
Not sure what you mean by achievements, but to be a marine you will need to be of strong heart and mind. While you are in Boot Camp, they will push you mentally and physically to your maximum, and then continue to push you harder and harder. The saying of a Marine is Once a Marine your always a Marine.
If you have anymore questions please let me know.
Thank You,
Eric
