"Making of a Marine" (1959) - Parris Island Boot Camp Documentary

  • Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
  • A fascinating short documentary on the manner in which the United States Marine Corps trained its recruits in 1959 at Parris Island, South Carolina, home of the larger of the two Marine Corps Recruit Depots. Recruits are shown arriving at the base, being shorn of their hair, fitted for new uniforms, and taught military discipline and bearing. Training in hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, close-order drill, and first aid is provided, and physical training through exercise, obstacle courses, and swimming is emphasized. Recruits who succeed in their training graduate as United States Marines.
    An incredible time-capsule to the era just before the stresses of the 1960s and the Vietnam War era on the USMC.

    USMC 68-71 PARRIS ISLAND CPL VMO-6 MAG 36 Quang Tri Vietnam/Futema Okinawa. It is literally impossible to explain what Marine Corps boot camp was like. Every documentary (including this one) is a warered down version. It's without doubt the biggest physical and mental challenge you'll ever expirance. I wouldn't change one thing it literally gave me the discipline and intestinal fortitude to be who I am today. I'm 74 yrs old I can still remember what Parris Island was like.

    I went through MCRD San Diego in 1961 at the age of 17. I was in receiving barracks alone for a few days since I got there a few days before Christmas. We spent all day watching football games on
    New Year’s Day. It was boring. Then the next day the shit hit the fan.

    Serious question: I graduated MCRD Parris Island in 1992. It felt a lot tougher than this video portrays. Did MCRD get tougher since then or was this video intended to show a less intense version than actual training at that time?

      This video is pure Marine Corps propaganda. It was made to look like Parris Island was basically a summer camp.
      I joined in 1965. What a hell hole for 12 weeks. Drill instructors beat the crap out of recruits. Who screwed up. Mass punishment was the norm. This is just pure propaganda.

    What was the point of the music played over the film? Certainly, this is all in the Public Domain by now. Especially since it was released as a 'Public Service Message' by the DoD to encourage voluntary enlistment... It's distracting hearing two music tracks over each other; I had to look to see if one of my background programs had audio playing!
