What does it take to become a United States Marine? Kids will find out in this exciting look inside the U.S. Marine Corps' grueling, 13-week basic training program. Readers will learn all the details of boot camp from enlistment through graduation, including a look at "The Crucible," the 54-hour final test where recruits have to prove they're worthy of the title "Marine" by completing a number of physical tasks. Kids will also meet real-life recruits like Steve Dellinger, who successfully completed the journey from civilian to marine in 2007. Combining large, full-color photos with a narrative format and controlled text, Marine Corps: Civilian to Marine will inspire young readers as they learn what it takes to become one of the world's finest soldiers. It's a must-have for readers beginning to have an interest in the military, as well as for kids with parents in military careers.

      Busy photos dominate this series that introduces readers to American military forces. Each superficial text begins with descriptions of hypothetical scenarios, then discusses training and education offered by each service, and ends with a one-page summary of candidate requirements. However, the differences among the services are not clearly delineated. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind.
