Marine recruit dies after collapsing during Camp Pendleton training

An investigation will reveal any issues with the training. Marines have to train hard because combat is harder.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Sad to hear of another recruit passing away during his quest to earn the title, United State Marine. Semper Fi Brother. R.I.P.

Sometimes news writers forget that the primary care of the Corps in situations such as this is assisting the parents and family of the Marine involved. Notification is more than a recruiter sending a note and I can remember more than one case where the information in the Marines record was not adequate to meet the "normal" timeframes.
