I was curious as to how many recruits are seriously injured during boot camp? do events such as the marine corps confidence course have any safeties to prevent these injuries? I was just curious as I had read that people were getting seriously hurt during boot camp.

Serious injuries and deaths are very rare. These soldiers are very closely supervised and the assumption is made that they do not know enough to do _anything_ in a safe manner.
There are a lot of minor injuries (as should be expected in any intensive program to improve physical fitness).

I come from a military family and have a fiance who is also in the military, I do not think that the statistics would be very high at all. I would say that there is a chance of getting hurt during boot camp but I would say that comes at your own risk. The majority of these injuries come from recruits either trying to show off or as bad as this may sound, some of the injuries could be intentional because the recruit is looking for a way out.

until eventually you'll discover an legal professional who's keen to document an good criticism, with you because the complaintant, hostile to america, you question is moot, in spite of how many newspeople or those contained in the american public experience. very few human beings are keen to "handle" america authorities. Your "humiliation" got here about over 2 many years in the past. You and your fellow Marines chosen now to not chat. supply it up. apparently, no man or woman cared about then you definately, and no man or woman cares about you presently.

Serious injuries are very rare. Most medical problems are the sissies trying to get out of duty.

I wouldnt say too often. It happens, don't get me wrong, but not as bad as you would think. I actually bruised my chest wall and some ribs during training, but i was back in 2 days, wasn't too bad. They truly take many precautions to ensure it is safe, sometimes it feels like they treat us too well. One guy broke his ankle while i was in boot, but hey, you can break your ankle walking down the steps in your house.

Well I guess if you are in the military, then the answer would be secret....If you go to civilian Boot Camp, they would have to be oh! so careful...public liability insurance and all that !!...(I think they must settle out of court, as I don't hear much about it)!!...hahaha
