The Embedded Instructor Program, or the "Shadow Program", is a program instituted by the organization to allow foreign interests and other military organizations to spectate and observe the entirety of the Basic Indoctrination and Training Process for either Marines or Sailors attempting to enlist. It is orgamized to establish transparency between the United States Marine Corps / United States Navy and the public. By allowing third-parties to "shadow" our BITP, we seek to help other organizations develop a Standard Operating Procedure for indoctrinating future prospects for their organization.
Rules
In order to apply for the Shadow Program, the pre-requisites are as follows:
• Applicants must be respectful, and courteous to all service members in a session. • Applicants must obey the instructions of the Officers and NCO's. • Applicants are highly encouraged but not required to wear formal attire.
• The applicant may only bring two additional personnel besides themselves.
• Applicants may not equip any firearms or weapons of any type while within 1 kilometer of US Military personnel.
• Applicants must not interrupt or impede the progress and rhythm of the BITP.
• Any applicant will be treated as a civilian spectator when in the presence of 11MD personnel, regardless of rank/respect within their organizations. That being stated, if an individual comes from another military organization, their rank will be respected, but not honored as having any command or authority of 11MD personnel.
• Any and all applications for the Embedded Instructor Program will be reviewed thoroughly. Comments in the forms' box should be checked by the applicant for grammar and formality before submitting.

• Applications for the Shadow Program can be denied or revoked at any point should the applicant or one of the applicants' entourage violate the terms of the program.
• Any act of aggression in a 11MD session or on US Military property will be punished swiftly and with lethality if required.
