What is a military training course?
My question is, what is an equivalent course of training for the civilian population?
I’ve heard people say that you have to go through a course, but I don’t think that’s the case. You don’t have to have a formal military course to become a soldier.
Training in the military is a good thing. The enlisted will train on a regular basis, and then you can get into a regular course with a civilian. I’m aware that Marine Corps and Navy are different things, but I think military is a good place to start. The military, unlike the military, has many different traditions.
If you want a combat training course,go to a college or a temple, learn basic stuff from there (like british culture,etc) and put your money where your mouth may be. It’s not about the results. It’s more about the experience. The more you practice, the more you realize, and become better at it. (Not sure how to say this, but it’s my opinion). For now, this is just a starting point, and I can’t guarantee you’ll be able to have all the answers you need.
Army training course?
I don't think you're a veteran. You're an ex-Marine Corps combat veteran. Training for a combat mission wasn't as easy back in the day.
I have more questions in mind, so I’ll ask\n\n1) What is a military training course? Can you help me?\n2) How do I get through a general audience interview?\n3) How do I get through a media event?\n4) How do I get through a radio interview where I have to say something interesting?\n5) How do I get through a TV interview?
