      @@babybuddah187 I would say they would pick on you just to gain confidence in speaking, but if you don't want to get noticed then do everything exact and finish before the count down ends.(which is almost impossible sometimes) don't be worried. There are people going in that will easily be noticed because of height, weight, face or just the body type they have. The purpose of being picked on is to instil confidence in someone or stop a bad habit when the drill instructors first see it. Don't worry man, everyone usually get there fill lol.

They send you to MEPS to see if you pass the medical side of joining. Don't be too worried about the physical aspect of the whole process. The recruiters will prepare you before hand. It might be tough at first but keep pushing through new heights. Pain is weakness leaving the body...

We have a saying....What are they gonna do-shave our head and take away our birthday? I’ve done a lot in my life-business, farming, coaching football, hunting, etc...on many occasions (usually bad situations) some one would look at me and say. “hey, you were in the Marines so you should know what to do”. Funny thing is, they were mostly right. I defiantly learned/cultivated the habit of being able to stay calm when things were going south.

      I turned 25 at MCRD San Diego. I was the oldest recruit in the platoon and I had a BS degree also. Yes, I was singled out in mostly a good way-more was expected of me. The fit hit the shan when my senior DI (SSgt. Chester) found out that my identical twin brother was a Marine 1st Lt. I remember getting stressed out in the duty hut and he asked why I didn’t tell any one that my identical twin brother is a Marine Corps officer and I said that no one had ever asked me...he told me to get the F@#k out of my duty hut.

  • @broaddusmarines
    @broaddusmarines 3 года назад +9

    The first two weeks of Marine Corps boot camp (first phase) can only be described as being dropped in a blender. Just total chaos.
    Very confusing, constantly sweating, and constantly out of breath. By the time you fall asleep, it seems like it’s time to wake up again.
    Second Phase was when you actually felt like a Marine. The Drill Instructors are still rough, but not the psychos they were in First Phase. The main thing any recruit in Second Phase talks about (if you’re a Hollywood Marine like myself) in the late 80s are the humps. The hump up Mount Motherfucker was the main hump. They don’t use that mountain anymore after people kept dying from heart attacks humping it.
    That being said, I absolutely loved being in Third Phase. You’re in the best shape of your life. Going to the quarterdeck is more of an annoyance than anything. The Drill Instructors are not psychos at all anymore. They’re just assholes now.
    By Third Phase, my DIs were actually funny and always tried to test your bearing. They will try to make you laugh, but you’re gonna be on the quarterdeck or the pits if you do laugh. You’re basically drilling most of the time because the DIs want to win Final Drill.
    But yeah, as someone said, you get out of boot camp totally motivated to run through a wall.
    You lose all that motivation once you get to the Fleet and deal with the silly “games” and burn happy NCOs that had absolutely no leadership skills.
    The fleet was a total letdown compared to boot camp. Boot camp set the bar pretty high. Boot camp was an EXPERIENCE. The Fleet felt more like a dead end job. It was pretty much forgettable.
    And I’m speaking as a someone who was in Operation Sharp Edge (Liberia, Africa), Desert Storm, and then Cold Weather training at the Arctic Circle.
    I have four rows of ribbons in only one tour, yet the most exciting time I had was in boot camp. The other three years and nine months was basically doing dumb and soul draining 🐴 💩.
    I’m a proud (former) Marine. Good experience, but four years was more than enough. Heck, I would have gotten out after two years if I could have.
    There’s a reason why the Marines has the lowest re-enlistment rate. I heard only 25% of Marines reenlist. The rest would rather take their chances in “the real world” than do another second in the Marines. I know most of us were counting down the days until we get out (“the wake up”) as if we were prisoners.
    They don’t call it “the suck” or the “green weenie” for nothing.
    I got out of the Marines in 1992 and never once regretted that decision.
    But yeah, Marine Corps boot camp was a life changing experience. Everything after that? Not so much.

    I did it - 1986 - Parris Island - 3rd Batallion - Platoon 3062. I probably weighed 140 lbs. soaking wet back then so you don't have to be some kind of super athlete to go. You just have to have a good mindset and take it day by day and be motivated to get through and you will make it. The guys that quit along the way - I feel sorry for them because I bet they never live that down. There was no way in hell I was not making it. Then you get to the Fleet (03 MOS here) and you realize Boot Camp was a cake walk. Then the real works starts. Changed my life for the better and once you are in, you are in for life and no one can take that title away from you. Not a lot of people can claim the title so go for it! Semper Fi - Do or Die!

      I had at absolute flippin TYRANT during receiving week...I couldn’t WAIT to get picked up and get the hell outta there. Our days in receiving were about 0400 to 2200- horrible. I got more sleep after I left receiving. I fully admit that we had it easier than other platoons in Alpha Company Follow Series; we were the last platoon for our SDI before he went to Warrant Officer School....he went light on us as long as we didn’t mess up. He would send his green belts away on fridays and stay with us all weekend, it was incredibly nice....you just get through the week so you get senior on the weekends. He didn’t show up one friday because we messed up all goddamn week- we acted right from then on.

      3 miles and 2 min for crunches and for pull ups it is till you drop (if you max crunches and pull ups you can take it easy on the run) you can also search up the scores for the pft. You also have to do the cft which is a 880 run, ammo can lifts, and you have to do another run with other implements.
