I was wondering if any of the new Marines read the book "Into the Crucible" before boot camp. I am reading it now and if the challenges are the same it seems almost unfair to those who don't read it before going. It's a wonderful book and I think I'll probably read it several times. It goes into such detail about each challenge and how they completed them, what they did right and what they did wrong. It talkes about what they could have done better.
I think it's a must read for everyone before going to boot camp. My son will be leaving next June and I'll be sure that he reads it. Even if the challenges change from time to time, they will still get a lot out of reading the book before boot camp.
Please let me know if any of you know if things are the same now.
