I was a Mountain Warfare Instructor at Bridgeport for three years.
What a great assignment that was!

[@Cejo871]

How long is the training that takes place there?

[@Andy_in_NH]

@@Cejo871 my information is dated, but individual classes could be ten days to six weeks long. Unit courses were generally a month long.

Went through in 2012, don't miss doing this, lost 50 pounds in 30 days. Hiking 3am to 1pm straight. Good memories though!

[@dionthomas5418]

Marines always adapt to the training and weather especially Winter Warfare

Thank you devildogs.

I’d thrive in this environment. I lived in the mountains and snow most of my life. I got to the point that I could walk outside with just a tshirt and I was fine. This is my element

[@ProjectAsylum54]

Try leading Marines who aren’t used to this element. That’s the real challenge.

[@joshuawood9055]

Marines do shit that the spec ops community do, and they do it just because it’s Tuesday, that’s why they didn’t bring the raiders back until 05-06 because they literally didn’t need them. the marines literally do everything spec ops do like mountain warfare, jungle warfare and CQC the only thing they don’t do that the spec ops community do is HVT capture or kill raids. Training for airforce pj selection here. Gotta be a special type of person to be a marine.

I had the opportunity to complete Cold Weather Training at Bridgeport, CA 1994. Hardest training there is. Mind over matter Semper Fi SSgt Gamba 0369

1991 went to Bridgeport. They can talk about Ranger school all they want. Bridgeport is no joke!

[@ggamba9729]

[@pohunta]

I went through in 1988.

[@Gabriel.A.A]

I’m going twice in less than six months. I hate the cold field ops as an infantry marine. I hate that my mind thinks of ways to avoid Bridgeport. What can I do to thrive?
