Marines!
I knew a guy, who didn't make it through Boot Camp in 1974. He was able to get back in the Corps in 1978, and didn't make through Boot Camp then either. What is current Marine Corp's policy?

It depends on why you didn't make it through. I know a handful of guys who made it through on their second try, but it wasn't because they "couldn't make it," rather something medical popped up, in one case an undiagnosed allergy, that had to be taken care of, in another it was a 92 day reservist who couldn't pass the rifle range and ended up dropping out of school and going back through.

The kids who "fail to adapt" probably don't get a second chance, nor would I think they would want to.

Thanks. This guy may have had an attitude. I never got the real story. Needless to say, when I went it was "Club Med", when he went it was "Devil's Island."
