Army infantry are trained from day 1 to be grunts then depending on the unit they are going to may attend another school like Airborne or Air Assault. Still all services go the Army's Airborne School at Fort Benning when I went through we had around 10 Air Force guys, 4 Navy guys who were going to be SEALS, and 15 Marines 12 of whom were going Recon and 3 were going to be riggers. Also a lot of services will send their people through the Army Ranger School as well. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Benning for Infantry, primarily those in one of the for special forces/special operations, as well as airborne and quite a few other things. It is very true that the Army Infantryman is the best trained Infantryman in the services, and in fact, in the world. I once heard a great speech, by a retired General, who said the entire purpose of every member of the Army, is to support the Infantryman. They feed, cloth, supply, give tactical support, intel, communications, and every other function to the Infantryman, because he IS the Army. Do, to say they do it best is an understatement. And that is why the other branches of service use the Army Infantry School. It is actually a wise use of resources, a practice that continues today. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

We also attend the Armys airborne school. And Marine Infantry is definitely the best infantry in the United States. No armyman will argue that point. If you have anymore questions about Marine infantry training, just email me. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

2009-03-26 09:53:59 +0000	Untrue. The Marines conduct their own infantry training. They do go to Ft. Benning if they then go into Marine Recon, as the Army is the only branch that conducts Ranger and Airborne training. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

They didn't have all the professional school's that they have today. Even Marine Boot hasn't always been the same, it has went from 8 weeks, to 10 weeks, back to 8 weeks to 4 weeks, back to 10 weeks, to 8 weeks, back to 10 weeks, back to 9 weeks , then slowly increased to what it is today. Before 1915, Marines didn't have Boot at all, all training was done by the unit you were assigned to. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
