MARCOS

#ashokasays Did you know 41:

MARCOS
 MARCOS or Marine Commandos is India's most lethal special force. Though they are trained to engage in battle on all terrains, MARCOS commandos are super-experts in maritime warfare. The physical test to join MARCOS is so gruesome that more than 80 percent of the applicants drop out in the first, three-day long, physical fitness and aptitude test. Those who successfully complete the test are subjected to a five-week-long process called the hells week where commandos are put through extreme sleep deprivation coupled with the most difficult physical tasks. These commandos are even capable of firing while lying down, standing, running full-sprint, even backwards and looking into a mirror “ with a reaction time of 0.27 seconds. The final stages of the training include an 800-meter long thigh-high mud crawl called the death crawl, loaded with 25 kg of gear which is concluded with shooting a target 25 meters away with a man standing next to it.
