One thing that got me through Marine Corps Boot Camp was realizing the with all the recruits and only four Drill Instructors, they can't always be in your face. But when they are, sometimes all at once, it is pure HELL.
I'm not American, but I really dig the USMC Marines. I remember going to US Embassy and saw US Marines guarding it. I first thought these guys are stoic and strictly strict, but they were very nice and not to mention courteous as well. I just want to say... SEMPER FI! (Please correct me if that's wrong, thank you)
Alain Kurniawan you're a great person for saying that and on my part I thank you for saying that and if you dig the Marines join will be doing great thing
I went through marine boot camp at mcrd san diego in 1984.my drill instructors were tough,uncompromising,mean as hell at times,and intolerant of any misconduct or breach of rules,yet they were fair,and solid professionals who cared about what they did and who they trained.i didn't always like them,and 1 of my drill instructors ill hate til I die,but ill also respect all 5 of them til I die.they were the truth.semper fi
@@danielrousseau4842 from a future marine. Thank you for the dedication, inspiration and sacrifices you guys gave. I’m happy your still around and kickin! 🇺🇸💙
This brings back memories. When I joined the armed forces my drill instructors screamed, hollered and pummeled me endlessly. They subjected me to all sorts of humiliating punishments and PT'd me half to death. The only time I almost cried was when my basic military training was complete and I realized I'd never see these fine men again.
Im not a marine but it is probably something to do with being sure your rifle doesn’t get stolen. Probably more discipline than anything else. Then again, I’m not a marine.
@Alvaro When a Marine fails to secure his/her rifle to his bed(lock away), long story short, they pay a price during training. In a time of war, someone dies.
I showed up 15 lbs heavy. Master Guns used to love to single me out every few days with... Jokes. When I'd finally crack a smile, my gunny would PT the heck out of me. I didn't realize till the end that they are truly helping and not hazing. I would still do it again as it definitely makes a more apt person for war.
MORE DeRp my son was 65 lbs over weight before boot camp and lost it in four months. When I went to his graduation in SC I couldn’t find my son (he was in front of me) (family day) 😂. That’s how strong he looked, muscles in three months and his face changed.
carmen arocho think your son might have gone under my dad’s platoon. My dad (a Drill instructor) had a kid who showed up heavy. The entire time he didn’t let him eat sweets at the chow hall and was a completely different kid by the end. 1st Battalion by any chance?
Thank You for your service. My Grandfather went through Parris Island in WW2. He said there were so many people being sent in at once, they didn't get uniforms for 2 weeks. And most of the DI's had only been in for about 4 or 5 months themselves since everyone was in combat. Aside from one brother who fought in Europe with the Army. His other 2 brothers were also USMC in Korea, and Vietnam. And until the day he died at age 86, he always said I AM a United States Marine.
Lol its funny because some people dont realize that these drill instructers were once those recruits. whenever your getting yelled at in bootcamp just think about that it
im army infantry and i can say that there is very little difference between them but as pride would have it , a marine will crucify you if you disrespect the marine and a 11b grunt will crucify you if you disrespect the army, lol ...all friendly rivalry, when it come time to ride out we all ride out together
S T A Y x S A V A G E™ says the person who was never in the Marines NOR Navy. If you were in the service, you would know what the hell I'm talking about. Unless the military is now "politically correct" and "sensitive". I'm old skool.
I dont have to justify shit to any one via internet, my name is on the wall in FT Benning GA, home of the Infantry, and ive been to combat and actually been in it, nuff said here, C-CO-1-18 INFANTRY ..
Joined the marine corp and my instructors where more of a father than my own. Taught me how to be a man, a fighter and a marine. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
My nephew is a SGT in the US Marines and I'am so proud of him! I'm prior Army and Navy. If I could do it all again - I would have joined the US Marine right out of high school. I like their SPIRIT!
something bout the way the drill insrtuctor screams out "GET UP THERE NOW!!!"" sounded motavating as shit lol i wouldda got up there or died trying lol
I was 17...11/10/82 at MCRD San Diego. I was in perfect shape. My first PFT was the same as my last. I really had no problem going through boot camp. It was not easy. But being in shape before you go really really helps.
By the way, thank you for your service. I myself am Air Force, but I have nothing but respect and admiration for the men and women of the Marine Corp. Semper Fi.
I'm older but I want this. I know a lot of older recruits seem to have a problem with obeying younger DIs but I have no problem listening to someone who could bench press me lol
Just by Watching this I remember every Saturday when I go to Young Marine school in El Paso and I'm a recruit 1 more week to graduate to be a Young Marine Privet, I want to be a Sargent Major, And I love Marine Corps Push ups hahaha And its awesome, To be a Marine is my Dream and I always say Dreams will become true, Good job Marines I Support you all, "We" Support you and keep doing what you doing and stay the Best
i may be signing up for the marine corp anywhere from 2 to 3 years, my parents taught me discipline but arent super strict but its respectable why these guys are, also i love the fact that they have more confidence in you then you have in yourself.
Hell yeah I love it. The fact (they know how) to boost others confidence (in their voice). I want to pick that up as a trait. Because the way I talk makes it seem like I was never talking to you in the first place and (in a arguing tone🤦🏾♂️😢). It’s limiting me rn but I’m only 17
My dad is a Marine. He's been in for 18 years. Joined right after he graduated high school at 18. He fought in Afghanistan, 2003 Iraq Invasion, & deployed 11 times. Missing almost every Christmas, all of my birthdays, & my 8 school talent shows, all if my important gymnastics meets, my baby brother being born, etc. I love you, Dad. Semper Fi (Always Faithful)
That's what kills you the time away from family, Me and my brother were in the Army at the same time, I didn't understand how this affected our parents until years later since we were the only children.
Boy is this a watered down version of boot camp! Plt 2045 at P.I. back in 2002. Yes, my RUclips pic shows me in an Army uniform. I switched over and got to experience Army boot camp from week 2 until graduation at infantry OSUT at Sand Hill and it was a breeze. Army had nothing on boot camp. However, I'd imagine if I had never experienced Marine boot and been to war two times it would have been difficult. This video sure did bring back memories, lol.
I graduated from Alaska military youth academy 2015-2 1st plt. I miss it very much. This summer, I’m joining the marines. I’ll comment back with my progress in March of 2021
I loved every second of bootcamp. If I didn't have the desire to MECEP, I would definitely become a drill instructor. Too many recruits in the Company I was in "earned" the title but were straight trash and it showed in MCT, School house, and the fleet. I thank God we aren't in a major conflict right now.
Even though I went through boot camp and didn't graduate because of rifle range from 10 yrs ago. i wish I had to have a second chance to earn the title. I thank all the service men and women who fought hard for this country. Marines taught me confidence, integrity, honor, courage, & commitment I will never forget.
Either drill instructors are becoming soft or they're just putting on a show for the cameras. I went through in '05 and remember much more cussing, throwing things, and getting pushed and slapped around by the DI's. And when the Senior drill instructor wasn't home? game over
Scotty Z The US military and the Marines are sabotaging theirselves because of liberal and LGBTQ influence. They even changed the names of several ranks because they were sexually discriminating women. Also their training programs have become way softer because of these liberal influences.
Of course it's a show for the cameras. I went through MCRD San Diego in 1986 and the recruit training filmsI saw before I got there didn't have DI's tearing the bark off you with cusswords.The Corps has been fighting this PR battle regarding boot camp since the 50's. The Marine Corps is still part of the larger American society it draws its recruits fromand every now and then has to reign itself in or be reigned in by Congress.This mostly happens during times of "relative"peace. Nobody ever seems to make videos where amother says her son got home in one piece thanks to the DI who slayed the shit out of him.
I'm a former Marine. After seeing this video I had to look in my graduation book, and realized that SSgt Bragg, and I were in the same platoon at boot camp lol. My 1st, and only time to Fuji I ran into my senior drill instructor from boot camp while I was with 2/7 E. Co, and I think he was with 1/6 B. Co.
Glad to see that rifle range training has to turned more ground level and hands on instead of getting methodology, by the book training. This will build great marksmen.
I'm pretty sure my drill instructor was in one of the clips of this video. I spent a week at Parris Island with my JROTC unit. I'll never forget his face. I'll never forget Parris Island. :)
I remember getting out of boot camp and going to Itb afterwards, there was another marine who called the combat instructor sir instead of Sgt , so because of that we got to be recruits the first week of Itb
Bootcamp is pretty tough, the physical and mental part wasnt a problem for me, the frustrating part of bootcamp were the people who never listened. WE ALL payed for their mistakes. Everybody will face their own challenges, but you'll make it through! OORAH
In the early 1950s my Dad was a JDI and then SDI at the MCRD in San Diego after he was wounded in combat in Korea in 1951. Things have changed a great deal since then but looks like the DIs are still getting the job done!
Just graduated Bootcamp Nov 10th 2021, They can and do all that and more. You just won't ever see it advertised. Had a DI in my company throw a recruit in a dryer at Pendleton when I was on Firewatch and put it on spin, i'd pay to see that in a commercial.
@@joshtreola968 congratulations brother💯🙏🏼 my friends older brother who served in Iraq told him that he was beat up by a DI, How often does stuff like that happen?😂😂😂
@@shaquille_0atmeal69_ Quite often, Had a DI in the same company as me get fired for kicking the shit out of a recruit in another platoon. That stuff still happens but its a lot more policed now. DI's will get NJP'd or admin sep'd if they get caught going overboard on recruits. So now it usually happens when the officers aren't around.
@@joshtreola968 ohhh okay I gotcha😂😂 damn that’s wild. He had to like stay extra time to graduate because they broke his arm and made him lie about it lol this was like in 2007 tho lol a long time ago
@@shaquille_0atmeal69_ Yeah I didn't see anything like that. Heard there was a kid who got forced to drink from a canteen by chugging it and filling it up 7 times until his stomach exploded. kid has medical benefits with Sgt's pay for the rest of his life and the DI got discharged.
LoriLinks maybe, maybe not. You could have no combat experience for 20 years of being a marine. It just depends on what is going on . The time I’m joining is when, if we’re going to go to another war in the Middle East, it will be startinf
My friend told me that, too. The more you Volunteer, the less likely the D.I.'s will mess with you, but it won't completely get them off your ass, obviously. They will completely lay off of everyone at a certain point, though. I like how the Army has OSUT(where you do Basic Training plus your MOS at the same time) because then you don't have to worry about doing more training and getting yelled at again. it's all mind games and how well you can handle stress.
mega .E Yeah know, it was a lousy place, but at the end of boot, I wanted to do it all over again. I could take on ANYTHING.......and we were bend proof. We literally could do push ups, mountain climbers, sit ups, leg lifts, and bend and thrusts for HOURS. We were all animals!! The memories a Marine will NEVER forget.
Rachel Reid for what seemed like HOURS. Those were easy, it was the bends and thrusts you had be afraid of. A Marine in BC literally creates a puddle of sweat under their body during a good thrashing. Sliding in that caused a few broken noses during push ups, mine included.
I'm going to enlist in a few weeks. I'll be going to MCRD San Diego. It's kind of cool that I'll be going there since I was born in San Diego. It won't be cool that I'll have to spend my time there at Marine Boot camp, though.
I want to join the military, but I can't understand wtf they are yelling. the DI would yell at me to do something and I'd be like "what?" and then they'd fucking kill me lol
Crazeddude1000 what out of anything I said implied that? no. I can't understand what orders I'd be issued when they sound like barking dogs. "BAR-RAR-RAR--RAR-RAR!”
Oo-fuckin'-rah. I didn't think so while I was in it, but looking back, boot camp was one of the best things I've ever gotten myself into. Semper Fi, Drill Instructors, and thank you for keeping our Corps alive!
Great Men! God Bless the Marines and our military. I will always have your 6 and fight for you to get the job done. Unfortunately, there are a lot of Americans that don't have your back but I'll fight to the end to protect you guys... OOHHRRAAAAHHHH!!!
If I could go back to 19 I would join the Marines or go for Navy Seals I'm very athletic strong and tough I just mean I can take a lot. But now I'm over the hill LOL
There is a reason for the madness, it works. I went thru PI over 40 years ago and if my DI's didn't smack me up along side my head at least once a day i thought they didn't love me anymore. Now would i do this all over again, "ain't no fuckin way".Once was more than enough for me. 0311.....
Hello, I am trying to find more information regarding my Father’s time in the service. He recently has passed away, were you at MCRD San Diego 40 yrs ago as a PI? He was SDI SGT Ratliff. Not yet a DI at that time, I don’t believe.
Joy Woodworth yes there is always a Drill Instructor with the recruits 24/7. When taps play there will be one Drill Instructor in the office all night. They also get a certain amount of days off per month witch is only a few days. When a Drill Instructor has duty the night before he usually gets part of the next day off. A lot of friends had marriages end, just because of the amount of time they are away from their families. In the fleet we usually have a 12-16 hour day, for a Drill Instructor, even if he isn’t the duty over night, his day can consist of 18-20 hour days depending on what training day they are on and how early said training day starts.
So even the most trivial thing must be done immediate and THE correct way. This makes the first phase--the breakdown phase--just as important as learning to fire a rifle. THANK YOU Marine DIs
Robert Bowers Do you know the point of one? It's a system to break down and bring everyone to the same level regardless of age, gender, race, etc. So they can build everyone up as a team.
Robert is a stupid civilian...how do we know ladies and gentlemen? ‘Cause he called them “drill sergeants”!! Fact of the matter is “drill instructors” are usually the first person the recruits look for and thank after graduating. My guess is that his boyfriend was stolen by a female marine.
I ship July 23rd next summer after I graduate high school. I know it’ll be hard and draining, but I’m more excited for boot camp than I am for my high school graduation
This makes me high to see this and know that I accomplished this in my life. It has reflected through out my life impressed upon me that I can do and go towards instead of running away. Thanks to all the Drill Instructors that take these young people and make fighting men that is feared the world. SEMPER FI to all the DEVIL DOGS - GET SOME!!!!!!!!!
0:37 When did Wolfman Jack become the inspiration for the stereotypical DI voice? I've lost count of how many DI's I've watched on RUclips that sound identical to him.
Funny thing for me was 2nd phase was the worst part of Marine boot camp. I had never fired a weapon before and they taught me very well. I kept hitting the black every time (Expert) and my Drill Instructors hated me for that. Every morning during that phase I got blasted by them. Kept saying things like, "you think you're a Marine huh?" Or "your p***y ass ain't gonna shoot like that on qualification day!" But I did. I shot Expert my whole time in the Corps and my last qualification I even shot Expert left handed. Expert on 9mm too. I was SAW gunner in the fleet. I'll never shoot another weapon again in my life.
I am considering joining the mil but was slightly dicoraged because of the fact i have never operated a weapon...it nice to hear what the DI said about almost all the new guys not havimg any exp either..
its fine it will be easier for you. Most people that own guns have a comfort zone like a way they like to shoot. they have to brake that habit and shoot the way their told but you don't you'll be fine.
I was in Paris Island in July of 1968 platoon 396 boy that was a hot 2 months…I love the corps semper fi.. OoHARH Remember once a marine always a marine…even at 71..
Ugh recruits... down fall of being stationed new P.I. Sucks to the ones that have to put up with it now, glad I did that a years ago. Just got to keep your head up and push forward. Fastest way out of boot camp is to finish it.
One thing that got me through Marine Corps Boot Camp was realizing the with all the recruits and only four Drill Instructors, they can't always be in your face. But when they are, sometimes all at once, it is pure HELL.
Yea, it's like, ok Im safe and they are right behind you

Glad to see that rifle range training has to turned more ground level and hands on instead of getting methodology, by the book training. This will build great marksmen.
I'm pretty sure my drill instructor was in one of the clips of this video. I spent a week at Parris Island with my JROTC unit. I'll never forget his face. I'll never forget Parris Island. :)
I remember getting out of boot camp and going to Itb afterwards, there was another marine who called the combat instructor sir instead of Sgt , so because of that we got to be recruits the first week of Itb
98% Never fired a rifle? Wow lol
Markie I doubt that very much. Maybe that number is lower for the USAF but he probably meant the specific rifle (M-4 I think?) he trained them on.
When I was 16 i was firing my uncle's ak47 every weekend, I sucked
Conner Clark no when they say that they mean any rifle. Realistically it’s probably 75% max
4:40 is so comical the way the DI screams lmfao!! makes me crack up every time!! XD
Bootcamp is pretty tough, the physical and mental part wasnt a problem for me, the frustrating part of bootcamp were the people who never listened. WE ALL payed for their mistakes. Everybody will face their own challenges, but you'll make it through! OORAH
I work with a marine in Ammo and that dude is the hardest working man i have ever meet a lot can be learned by following a well trained marine
In the early 1950s my Dad was a JDI and then SDI at the MCRD in San Diego after he was wounded in combat in Korea in 1951. Things have changed a great deal since then but looks like the DIs are still getting the job done!
I think Everybody should have a boot camp before they hit 20yrs old.
Me Keeping it real What if they want to go to college first?
+Johnny Spence boot camp to get into college haha... Of wait that's just air force
Then that’s not freedom.
It would do a lot of good im sure
Im 27 shipping too bootcamp in September...0311
Man what sucks is that the Marine DI’s can’t do that anymore. I’m crying more than the recruits that had to go through all the screaming.
Just graduated Bootcamp Nov 10th 2021, They can and do all that and more. You just won't ever see it advertised. Had a DI in my company throw a recruit in a dryer at Pendleton when I was on Firewatch and put it on spin, i'd pay to see that in a commercial.
@@joshtreola968 congratulations brother💯🙏🏼 my friends older brother who served in Iraq told him that he was beat up by a DI,
How often does stuff like that happen?😂😂😂
@@shaquille_0atmeal69_ Quite often, Had a DI in the same company as me get fired for kicking the shit out of a recruit in another platoon. That stuff still happens but its a lot more policed now. DI's will get NJP'd or admin sep'd if they get caught going overboard on recruits. So now it usually happens when the officers aren't around.
@@joshtreola968 ohhh okay I gotcha😂😂 damn that’s wild. He had to like stay extra time to graduate because they broke his arm and made him lie about it lol this was like in 2007 tho lol a long time ago
@@shaquille_0atmeal69_ Yeah I didn't see anything like that. Heard there was a kid who got forced to drink from a canteen by chugging it and filling it up 7 times until his stomach exploded. kid has medical benefits with Sgt's pay for the rest of his life and the DI got discharged.
Reality's gonna set in real
Quick now do you understand? As soon as you get on that plane and you're on your way to Afghanistan
do you get sent to war at some point of being a marine❓
LoriLinks probably
LoriLinks maybe, maybe not. You could have no combat experience for 20 years of being a marine. It just depends on what is going on . The time I’m joining is when, if we’re going to go to another war in the Middle East, it will be startinf
I was in boot camp parris island when this video was posted. 3rd battalion Kilo Co. PLT 3034. It's interesting to see this video now in 2020.
i was commissioned in 1970 but still remember my DI and have lot of respect for him he first broke us from civilians and made us into soldiers
I remembered getting thrashed on the day of graduation with my dress blues on.
Why did you get thrashed on graduation day?
Believe it or not some of them ask for it ONE LAST TIME
@@audemars_piguet13 Is my teacher the only person that showed us this
My friend told me that, too. The more you Volunteer, the less likely the D.I.'s will mess with you, but it won't completely get them off your ass, obviously. They will completely lay off of everyone at a certain point, though. I like how the Army has OSUT(where you do Basic Training plus your MOS at the same time) because then you don't have to worry about doing more training and getting yelled at again. it's all mind games and how well you can handle stress.
I wish I could go back to bootcamap sometimes
why would you go back there
mega .E Yeah know, it was a lousy place, but at the end of boot, I wanted to do it all over again. I could take on ANYTHING.......and we were bend proof. We literally could do push ups, mountain climbers, sit ups, leg lifts, and bend and thrusts for HOURS. We were all animals!! The memories a Marine will NEVER forget.
mountain climbers damn
Rachel Reid
for what seemed like HOURS. Those were easy, it was the bends and thrusts you had be afraid of. A Marine in BC literally creates a puddle of sweat under their body during a good thrashing. Sliding in that caused a few broken noses during push ups, mine included.
OR's Lonewolf we call it I.T. now or "incentive training" thrashing is a better term
Mo Good to see you in this, Much Love and Respect, Semper Fi.
I'm going to enlist in a few weeks. I'll be going to MCRD San Diego. It's kind of cool that I'll be going there since I was born in San Diego. It won't be cool that I'll have to spend my time there at Marine Boot camp, though.
The mind programming begins from the time you step off the bus!
And thank god for that because look at 55% of the rest of the
world's military force. Most are very undisciplined.
I want to join the military, but I can't understand wtf they are yelling. the DI would yell at me to do something and I'd be like "what?" and then they'd fucking kill me lol
scoobydoob 1 You think combat is calm quite and collective?
Crazeddude1000 what out of anything I said implied that? no. I can't understand what orders I'd be issued when they sound like barking dogs. "BAR-RAR-RAR--RAR-RAR!”
It’s one of those things u get used to
Thanks for your service Marines!
Kris Johnson your welcome from a Marine mom. Proud of my boy!!
Oo-fuckin'-rah. I didn't think so while I was in it, but looking back, boot camp was one of the best things I've ever gotten myself into.
Semper Fi, Drill Instructors, and thank you for keeping our Corps alive!
I’m not American but love what the marines do hope we bring back conscription here in Australia
Great Men! God Bless the Marines and our military. I will always have your 6 and fight for you to get the job done. Unfortunately, there are a lot of Americans that don't have your back but I'll fight to the end to protect you guys... OOHHRRAAAAHHHH!!!
Смотрю департамент марине
Эстребители производить надо маринес дьявол
If I could go back to 19 I would join the Marines or go for Navy Seals I'm very athletic strong and tough I just mean I can take a lot. But now I'm over the hill LOL
There is a reason for the madness, it works. I went thru PI over 40 years ago and if my DI's didn't smack me up along side my head at least once a day i thought they didn't love me anymore. Now would i do this all over again, "ain't no fuckin way".Once was more than enough for me. 0311.....
Hello, I am trying to find more information regarding my Father’s time in the service. He recently has passed away, were you at MCRD San Diego 40 yrs ago as a PI? He was SDI SGT Ratliff. Not yet a DI at that time, I don’t believe.
I get to sit at home, surfing the internet, not a care in the world because of these men and women, and the generations before them. Thanks :)
speeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaadddd! that Drill Instructor is AWESOME!!!
RIP rolled sleeves
Zombie sleeves... March 9th.
ANDDD they're back👍🏽
Well it goes once a marine always a marine I love y'all devil dogs semper fi
Had a good time.
I'm going to enlist this Thursday.
Hated every minute of the first four weeks when I was there. Can't stop laughing looking back at it 10 years later.
"I guess you talk in port arms to" I could never understand what he said until today...
Im Irish hope can enlist easily
Thanks really hope I get the chance
Evan Mc Donnell did u go?
Are you in?
I love how so many people mistake Discipline for brainwashing.
This is probably a dumb question, but is the PMI a “Primary Marksmanship Instructor?” Thanks!
I miss these days believe it or not. Been in for a year now, Boot Camp was the most motivating part. 3rd BTLN mike co.
Are the drill instructors told to talk like demons?
they scream just as much if not more then the recruits do they lose there voices and get even less sleep
Charles Gerbino and are with their rcts 24/7 for 13 weeks
Joy Woodworth yes there is always a Drill Instructor with the recruits 24/7. When taps play there will be one Drill Instructor in the office all night. They also get a certain amount of days off per month witch is only a few days.
When a Drill Instructor has duty the night before he usually gets part of the next day off.
A lot of friends had marriages end, just because of the amount of time they are away from their families. In the fleet we usually have a 12-16 hour day, for a Drill Instructor, even if he isn’t the duty over night, his day can consist of 18-20 hour days depending on what training day they are on and how early said training day starts.
I wanna be able to say i did this one day (:
#ThankYouMarines
4:48 screeeeam!
I can't wait to see my son when he graduate next month
So even the most trivial thing must be done immediate and THE correct way. This makes the first phase--the breakdown phase--just as important as learning to fire a rifle.
THANK YOU Marine DIs
I ship this weekend, can't wait to embrace the hell I'm going to get put through. The di's can't stop time from running out, woooooooo
embrace the suck brother
How was it?
Update?
Yo dude how was marines???
4:45 SCREAAAAMMMM
Drill sergeants were the ones bullied in school
You know like half of them get volentold to be DS and DI's right? It's not their choice...
No excuse for being a jerk
Robert Bowers Do you know the point of one? It's a system to break down and bring everyone to the same level regardless of age, gender, race, etc. So they can build everyone up as a team.
Robert is a stupid civilian...how do we know ladies and gentlemen? ‘Cause he called them “drill sergeants”!! Fact of the matter is “drill instructors” are usually the first person the recruits look for and thank after graduating. My guess is that his boyfriend was stolen by a female marine.
Erma Gurd your comment is as gay as your picture
Can't wait to serve my country just like my brother and all past and present marines.
I guess we talk at port arms too.......love it...
SEMPER FI MARINES
👍💪❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️💪👍
Thu yea thurrr!!!
I ship July 23rd next summer after I graduate high school. I know it’ll be hard and draining, but I’m more excited for boot camp than I am for my high school graduation
This makes me high to see this and know that I accomplished this in my life. It has reflected through out my life impressed upon me that I can do and go towards instead of running away. Thanks to all the Drill Instructors that take these young people and make fighting men that is feared the world. SEMPER FI to all the DEVIL DOGS - GET SOME!!!!!!!!!
Watching this kinda makes me feel a little bit better, and i can't wait to be a Marine!
0:37 When did Wolfman Jack become the inspiration for the stereotypical DI voice? I've lost count of how many DI's I've watched on RUclips that sound identical to him.
What the senior being interviewed is saying still applies to this day. Take it from someone who learned the hard way.
These young men are the reason why the United States of America is the greatest country in the world.
Funny thing for me was 2nd phase was the worst part of Marine boot camp. I had never fired a weapon before and they taught me very well. I kept hitting the black every time (Expert) and my Drill Instructors hated me for that. Every morning during that phase I got blasted by them. Kept saying things like, "you think you're a Marine huh?" Or "your p***y ass ain't gonna shoot like that on qualification day!" But I did. I shot Expert my whole time in the Corps and my last qualification I even shot Expert left handed. Expert on 9mm too. I was SAW gunner in the fleet. I'll never shoot another weapon again in my life.
ill be right there with you im heading to san diego
I am considering joining the mil but was slightly dicoraged because of the fact i have never operated a weapon...it nice to hear what the DI said about almost all the new guys not havimg any exp either..
its fine it will be easier for you. Most people that own guns have a comfort zone like a way they like to shoot. they have to brake that habit and shoot the way their told but you don't you'll be fine.
You're correct,and as a Drill Instructor you remind them of that at every opportunity.
I was in Paris Island in July of 1968 platoon 396 boy that was a hot 2 months…I love the corps semper fi.. OoHARH
Remember once a marine always a marine…even at 71..
Ugh recruits... down fall of being stationed new P.I. Sucks to the ones that have to put up with it now, glad I did that a years ago. Just got to keep your head up and push forward. Fastest way out of boot camp is to finish it.
