The weight we carry is not in the packs we wear, but in the tremendous responsibility we bear, to win for our Nation and each other. This is the reason for our demanding recruit training process, to prepare aspiring Marines for the hardships they will have to face in future battles. To prepare young men and women for these immense challenges, there is the Delayed Entry Program (DEP). Recruits are expected to report to training able to do more than the minimum for entry, and it is through the DEP that their Marine Recruiters can help them prepare for the battles ahead.
