@ddtr12 Raider training in generally was primarily focused on actual challenges, not hazing. You complete the various challenges, you complete the program, so the theme of Hell Week, sort of. The raiders were recruiting hotheads, fighters, scrappers with enough discipline to take orders, not outright robots for brainwashing. Unit fatality rates were very high, so there were no illusions of what the game was. Not a hazing ritual for high status unit but training of selected people.

The U.S. Marine Raiders are amazing and truly inspirational! Just had our yearly reunion and need more of YOU to join us.

@tedcopy12 wow he was a battalion all by himself? I guess these raiders really were something special

Anybody still around who remembers Joe (Irish) McDowell? He was first marine raider battalion in the pacific and was wounded on one of the islands. A great guy I knew from a brief stay boarding with my grandmom in 1952.

@nitroxl85 and @Iniedbal Sorry about both your losses, take pride in the fact your relatives made history, and helped the USMC defeat the Japanese in their own element. Semper Fi and G-d Bless.

My father enlisted with a couple of hs high school buddies after the Japs hit Pearl Harbor in December of 1941 and was at Quantico by January of '42 nd hitting the beach at Tulagi by August. He was a BAR man in Company A of Edson's Raider's. He never talked about his days in the Marines even though his 4 sons loved playing army as we grew up in the 60's. He passed away in May of 2009.

My Great Uncle PFC Ashley Hicks was a Marine Raider. He gave his life for this country on Makin.
