Selection
Recruits are subjected to psycho-indoctrination and conditioning, strengthening their resolve and honing them into dedicated and merciless warriors. Not all recruits survive the brutal training, of course, and not all are accepted.{{Fn|1}}
==SelectionRecruits==Recruits are typically chosen from Due to the best warriors among humanity. Naturally, this makes [[Death World|Death]] and inherent scarcity of [[Feral Worldgeneseed]]s prized recruitment grounds, as such harsh and primal conditions produce the best warriors. However, [[hive world]]s are considered the ideal source of potential recruits; while the populace of the lower levels are often composed of ''always'' subjected to ''some of the most murderous scum in the human [[Imperium]], more importantly, the higher the population of a world'' testing by all Space Marines, the higher the chance to find truly impressive individualsloyalist or otherwise.

===Requirements===
Recruits must be fairly young, because implants often do not become fully functional if the recipient has reached a certain level of physical maturity. They must be male because the geneseed zygotes are keyed to male hormones and genetic structure. Only a small percentage of people are compatible with the implants and hypno-suggestion necessary to turn them into Marines. Before the process of implantation begins , the potential recruit receives tissue compatibility tests and psychological screening. If the testing proves successful , the recruit becomes an [[aspirant]]. After the organ implantation process begins , he becomes a [[neophyte]]. When the final implant is in place and the requisite training and hypnotherapy complete, he becomes a full [[brother]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|3}}
Even once the organs are implanted they are generally inactive or useless without associated training, hypnotherapy, and chemical treatment. Most recruits join the ranks as a [[brother]] between the ages of 16-18 years.{{Fn|2b}}
