I looked it up on Google. From what I've read it's more of a stereotype of Marines (that they're dumb enough to eat crayons) than it's an actual joke with an actual punchline.

The assumption was that you'd get it. I guess the meme is too old for you.

I never thought of MCT (Marine Combat Training), SOI (school of infantry), or a POG (person other-than grunt) school as "Marine school" but thats an interesting description of them. lol Bootcamp is more "Marine school" because it focuses on traditions and basic weapons like a saw or m16
Marines in non-0300 MOS's (jobs) go to MCT, and infantry MOS's (0300's) go to a much longer training because its their job once they get to their unit. After MCT for POG's, they go to a MOS school, that can last up to a year sometimes if its military police. I was an 0352 in the infantry. Congrats to your brother, the Marine Corps is a great organization

He's definitely more of a boots on the ground kind of guy, I'm not sure how much you're able to choose your own path when serving, but obviously I would love it if he went into something more administrative or computer sciencey haha. |

It is yes, but the Marines are more rigid about it than the Army, Navy, and especially the Air Force. Those branches let you keep a smidge of your identity, the Marines wipe your hard drive clean and do a fresh install.
