SECTION I - WHERE DO I ENLIST
To Enlist with the 3rd Marines you must fill out THIS FORM. You must fill out the complete form truthfully or risk integrity violation and refusal of your enlistment form. For personal security options you are authorized to be allowed to change your name and location as long as your name change is a realistic name and your location is within the country you reside.
ARTICLE II - WHAT ARE THE REQUIRMENTS TO JOIN
There are no disqualifying terms associated with being able to enlist with us except for hacking history and VAC Bans. Age, Gender, Race, Ethnicity, Sexual Preference and Religious Beliefs are not disqualifying terms. Microphones are not needed to enlist with us either, however, on Day 3 of recruit training recruits with microphones stand to make higher scores on their leadership evaluation scores over Marines without microphones. In addition, a working microphone is needed for promotions beyond the PFC rank.
The only requirement that we consider a must is self motivation to learn our material before coming to Boot Camp, willingness to give us your all and expectations of high standards of maturity and discipline.
ARTICLE III - WHAT DO I NEED TO DO WITHIN 24 HOURS
Check the email that you provided with your enlistment form you submitted. Within 24 hours a 3rd Marine from IPAC will email you providing crucial information to help you establish yourself as a recruit in this unit and get your account permissions in order. This Marine will also invite you as a friend on steam in which you must accept. He will then invite you to our member only steam group and begin conversation with you and helping you until Boot Camp begins.
ARTICLE IV - WHAT DO I NEED TO DO WHILE I WAIT FOR BOOT CAMP
While you are waiting for your training to begin you are in our Delayed Entry Program (DEP). During this time you will be invited to drills, events, discussions and meetings hosted by the 3rd Marines though your presence in these events is optional. A week before your training begins one recruit out of your training class will be selected by IPAC as your recruit training platoon's "Platoon Guide". Your Platoon Guide will hold training sessions periodically that week leading up to Boot Camp to ensure every recruit is thoroughly prepared for Orientation Day.
ARTICLE V - WHERE CAN I SEE WHO ELSE IS IN MY TRAINING PLATOON AND WHEN BOOT CAMP STARTS
To see who else is in your training platoon and when your first day of Boot Camp is go HERE.
ARTICLE VI - WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO HAPPEN AT BOOT CAMP
On the first day of your recruit training which is called Orientation Day, recruits will be tested immediately on how well they individually prepared their mind and devotion for the weeks ahead. Recruits who appeared to have not prepared will be immediately removed from the training class or recycled into the next training platoon three months away. Your Drill Instructors are not expecting recruits to even have half of the material understood, but they will be able to know of any attempt at all was made by the recruit to prepare themselves and those are the recruits your Drill Instructors are searching for.
Orientation Day is a very stressful event in which your Drill Instructors intend to break down their recruits and divide them among themselves. It is on this day that most of the final testing material will be covered along with an extensive overview of how our unit operates itself without a central leadership figure.
Day two of recruit training capitalizes on the prior days training and recruits are expected to know and follow the program by now. Minor offenses or breaks in tradition are dealt with through individual and group punishment further dividing the classes amongst each other. It is on Day 2 of training where more emphasis on our units procedures and formalities are covered as well as a crash course in our Day 3's testing involving leadership.
Day three is your first official test day that focuses on your small unit leadership capabilities, military lingo, situational awareness and cohesiveness as a unit. The day is meant to instill reliance amongst your recruit peers and begin bringing you all together under one banner. The test is a practical application exam which means you will be operating in live fire exercises and military training.
Day four is your final day of recruit training and involves your final test to become a Marine. After the famed "Crucible" in which your Drill Instructors will finish bringing your class closer together in Marine Corps tradition fashion recruits will be lead away to take their final oral test that covers the information you have learned up to this point. Recruits must pass with a combined score from Day 3 and 4 tests of 80.00 or higher to pass Boot Camp and become a Marine in the 3rd Marines.
ARTICLE VII - WHAT HAPPENS AFTER BOOT CAMP
If you passed Boot Camp you will be assigned orders to report to one of our fireteams under a fireteam your Drill Instructors think your normal playing times and personality best matches. For the next three months you are considered a "Boot" while in the unit until the unit holds its next recruit training cycle in which time you will be considered a senior Marine in the unit.
Recruits who do not pass the final test on day four but who decide to be recycled and try again in the next training cycle will have 10 points added to their final score when their next recruit training class begins.
