There really wasn't very much training shown in the series. In reality they did train and practice landings, but the training craft were often not the ones they'd actually use. Sledge trained on one that had a ramp that let down, so he wasn't used to climbing over the side.

(A book by another marine that I read said they didn't have the tracked ones on his beach, and they all got dropped off on a reef and had to wade to shore while getting shot at.)
