Most disciplined branch of the military?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a real challenge and to build some serious discipline. Which branch of the military is renowned for its rigorous discipline and structure?

a month ago

While every branch of the military instills discipline in its servicemembers and each prides itself on discipline and structure, the Marine Corps is often associated with high rigor and discipline. The Marines Corps basic training is known for its intensity and the focus on discipline, both mental and physical.

Marine Corps boot camp, for example, lasts 13 weeks, longer than basic training for other branches. It is marked by physically and mentally grueling drills and exercises intended to build resilience, discipline, and teamwork. While all branches of the military promote discipline and structure, the Marines' brand of discipline and their warrior ethos tends to stand out in public perception.

However, it's essential to note that the level of discipline imparted to a person also largely depends on their commitment and the specific role they play in a branch, and not solely on the branch they join. Each branch has different challenges and specialized training programs that are rigorous in their own ways. It would also be beneficial to research the mission, culture, job opportunities, and career paths of different military branches to gauge where you believe you'd fit best and be most challenged.
