Topic	19 y/o Marine is DEAD after NO FOOD OR SLEEP for 54 HOURS in HARSH Training!!
wackyteen 06/08/21 9:11:19 PM #16:	Paragon21XX posted... According to military.com, the Crucible allows a total of 8 hours of sleep for the entire 54 hour drill and 2.5 MREs (about 3,000 calories). https://www.military.com/join-armed-forces/marine-corps-crucible.html This checks with everything I've heard from prior-service Marines about the Crucible. It's designed to suck. I'd mark the recruits death up more to a failure of leadership than the harsh training. Thousands of Marines graduate basic training every year, so it isn't like the Crucible is killing dozens or hundreds of recruits. Though I'm inherently biased so my opinion may carry less weight in that regards --- The name is wackyteen for a reason. Never doubt. <cite>wackyteen posted [p:954793607] in 19 y/o Mar...
