Served 20 years and was a Drill Instructor back in 2011-2014 but nothing I can tell you would ever prepare you for the experience! Earning the title will be remembered for life.
Also get some 🐱 while you can because if you try that while you’re in then you will find out just how easy it is for you to get in some serious trouble. Not to mention it will just be a whole sausage fest during those weeks
No matter what your told or how many videos you watch, nothing can prepare you for what happens when you're there. Always remember DOR is never an option. Embrace the suck. Semper Fidelis
Good thing you pointed out. People outside don't get you can quit the Marines in that early phase, without too many issues. The DI's excel at "motivating " poor performer's. Its in their oath. We will not give up on you, even after you've given up on yourself. Its sad when you see it. DOR is rough when you observe good intentioned people that volunteered to join get sent home.
Yeah, it's one thing looking in from the outside. You have to want tha EGA! The Drill Instructors will do their best to break you. Plt 3013 I Co 3rd Bn 4/1977 Oorah...
To all the soon to be shippers always remember; be loud, be fast, do what you are told, don’t make yourself too known as a troublemaker. Fastest way out of boot camp is by graduation. Other else than that, keep your motivation up and drive through one day you’re gonna look back in boot camp and think all the shenanigans you went through and laugh about it.
I was Army Infantry for 8 years, went to Fort Benning (Fort Moore now) 20 years ago (I'm 37). It's always good to see younger people joining up, regardless of branch. They are definitely doing something that most of the population won't or can't do. 🤘🤘
You dont need to be a tri athlete to make it. Train accordingly and rest a full week before you ship out. Make sure you can run 3 miles in 24 minutes or less (aim for 21) make sure you can do a 1:30 plank (aim for 2 minutes) and make sure you can do at least 5 pullups palm out from a full dead hang (aim for 8-10) if you are at those numbers before you ship you will be physically ready for what Boot Camp will hit you with. Physically, the mental part will be up to you and how you deal with it (homesick, being told when to shower, when to move, waking up at 4 in the morning etc.) Its what you make of it. If you quit, you will spend an extended period of time in receiving a place called RSP. RSP is where your soul can truly die, so the fastest way out is to graduate.
I run 12mins for 1.5m miles, 2 minutes on plank, 19-20 pullups. at 17, you think i will be able to handle what they make me do at bootcamp? i go next weekend
@@d33738 Physically you will be fine for the IST and probably even the PFT, those pull up numbers are excellent. But just remember man it's a lot more than the physical aspect at Boot Camp. The initial high of going will wear off after a week or two and that's more or less when the real mental test begins. Fatigue sets in, homesick sets in, the games start getting to you a little bit ( like running back and forth from your rack to the line with your ruck bag because someone keeps fucking moving on zero) getting smoked in the pits (IT sessions) early in the morning because you didn't get to shave because you were instructed to help make the racks proper for other recruits while everyone else was shaving and brushing their teeth. Shit like that. It gets better after first phase dude, just remember that. When you go on Fire watch, enjoy the silence. Reinforce in your mind why you went there. It's not impossible, move fast, do what you're told, scream when spoken too, keep your head low ( don't be the fucker always getting in trouble) listen and pay attention to what the DI's tell you and you will be fine. Good luck man.
Advise to everyone going to bootcamp, Have plenty of cardio exercise by that means make Sure you can run 18 min in 3 mile. Sounds off all the time, take it one day at a time. This will be the most memorable and biggest achievement in your life. been out for 20 yrs.
In addition to cardio, if you're going to San Diego for boot camp, I'd get into rucking and do it on his as much as possible. This is because West Coast Marines do their field training on Camp Pendleton where it's very hilly. So I'd seriously start practicing rucking up and down hills, the steeper the better.
Just remember, one thing you’ve chosen the branch that cares about their personnel the most I’ve worked with all branches Marines take care of their own
I remember this day back in 2013 . I remember watching life as a marine over n over again to get mentally prepared but when I arrived at MCRD San Diego it was a whole different ball game . Just stay strong
@@xcnj444 it's easier when you are younger. It will build character and there will be the suck, but also a lot you'd never do or see in the civilian world. There are benefits like the VA loan for homeownership. Pick an MOS that translates to civilian jobs or if you are combat arms, make sure you are getting specialized training that can help get gov or LEO contracts when you get out. Don't wait, just do something, be it this or something else. Stagnation is your biggest enemy and acting when young and hungry will pay dividends later on. Don't expect to have roots for a while, deployment and stations will change your living situation a lot. You will miss your family a lot. "Your heart may belong to Jesus, but your ass belongs to the Corps." Don't quit, don't become an alcoholic and most importantly - don't marry a stripper.
Just graduated 6/21/24 Bravo Company, Platoon 1026. Shit doesn’t get easier you just get used to the suck. I came in barely passing all events on the ISA and made it out with first class PFTs and CFTs. Good luck to you shippers. Keep Pushing and Semper Fi.
Yeah, I remember how that was too. It first got real for me when I got my head shaved. But after that first long night and day ti didn't seem that bad to me. Little did I know at the time that the first week was just receiving and things would really get real at the end of the week when we got dropped ot our real DIs.
My Grandad Alex was Marines my Moms dad RIP 😞🥺 1936-2021 he served 10 yrs way back 1956-1966 he was an MP E6 Staff Sgt after the Corps he was a Cop for 30 years 1966-1996 he retired a Captain 🇺🇸👍🏽
These kids made the right choice on joining the only branch that still has credibility, they will be firm and discipled men & women when they get their EGA.
the bus load at the 39 second mark is some of the first batches of us that went in in September 2023. cant wait to see if they have more of Charlie company from September 11th through December 8th.
I arrived at Parris Island on 9/11/23, and thus began 3+ months of hell, including having to endure a drop from Hotel to November Co. Still earned that EGA and graduated, so it didn't matter. OORAH!!
I went through this exactly 2 weeks before 9/11. After I crossed the Parade Deck, I was a new man in a new world. Then, little over a year later, I was in the invasion of Iraq. It was never worth it but I am still a Marine and did my duty.
I remember being at the end of the o course when you're supposed to dead hang from the cable. It was extremely hot that day and when I was hanging there, staring down at the glistening water in the pool, thinking about how cool and refreshing it would feel... I let go. I got absolutely smoked when I got out but it was so worth it.
🤣🤣🤣 That is so True, I served as a Paratrooper/Infantryman with the 82nd Airborne division for 12 years, I am a lot older now, and just like you Marines, I am always and forever be proud of my self worth to this country in having served as and will always be a PROUD PARATROOPER, only the few take the hard road only a few volunteer to do that, My hats off to those that still have that spirit in their hearts and mind to do that... Airborne all the way and a shout out to the USMC SEMPER FI!!!

My dad is a marine when i enlisted back in 79 he didn't tell me anything about boot camp when i graduated boot camp my brother and cousin said if i could do it they could do it they enlisted same month i graduated great memories
Sometimes on my monday evening runs, I'll see the busses full of soon-to-be recruits on their way from the airport to MCRD. I laugh at them, really hard, knowing exactly what it feels like to be on that bus.
Last time I watch a marine boot camp video it was soooooooooooooooooooioooo different than this video. Not going to lie. This seems soooo easy compared to the old boot camp videos I’ve watched
The scene with the boot camp haircut reminded me of a couple of movie scenes where guys had their long hair get cut down to nubs. Then I also thought that some of the haircut recipients were paying homage to the barbers for their service as well by giving the barbers some long locks to cut. This somehow also reminded of a time when I was walking to my office with a Gunny from the parking lot to the entrance, and I shoved my hands in pockets because it was chilly. The Gunny immediately looked at me, and sternly asked if I was testing her. My hands quickly and promptly came out of my pockets with the reply, no, Gunny, absolutely not. BTW, I was a LtCol at the time.
Yes sir I said that in regards to uniforms they don't have to spit shine boots anymore and I've watched several videos addressing how they don't treat recruits like they did when I was in I will always love my fellow devil dogs they just have it easier than what we did my mos was 0311 so I was a hard charger anyway but love my corps love to all that served in every branch we all signed the dotted line to protect our beautiful country
My little brother is going in a few weeks to do this shit. Scares the shit out of me with all that is going on in the world. Already lost one younger sibling. I believe in him tho. Ughhhh
Was there May 28th 1982. What was odd is in the contraband room we weren't allowed to say a word. No sounding off whatsoever. We had to have those Skilcraft pens in our mouths the whole time. Anyone caught talking had to get up and sing. I laugh at it now, but it wasn't so funny then. Ah, the memories!
Stay strong and remember - we here in Europe count on you. You're NEVER alone, you're the bulwark of values, qualities and history which are larger than life and which ONLY the US could defend globally in an effective way. Good luck and after its all over come to Europe and even check out Ukraine - Ukraine needs everyone's help now, if the US and Europe are to live in peace. Respect and much love!
@@aj.1k922 hey man, I got out in 2012, did 11 years and 4 tours to Iraq, I went to paris Island, just do what your told and do it quick and "sound off" meaning, YELL, you have to scream everything you will loose your voice a bit but just do what you are told, do it quick, go to church service on Sunday, it gets you out of the squad bay for a few hours. you will be fine, keep updated brother!
Jesus H Christ on a Harley! GIRLS AT SAN DIEGO??? Hell is freezing over. I spent three months there from June to October in 1976, and the only girls I saw were in photographs.

You think so. I’m a gen Z ( sadly) but I acknowledge the things that are off here. Do you mind being specific as to what’s changed in the corps that made it softer
this is extremely similar to coast guard boot camp. except you dont ever really say Sir. you never call an enlisted person sir in the coast guard. Only officers. but we had EARS! OPEN! EYEBALLS! CLICK!
Good thing this is San Diego AND these Recruits and all get to make calls regardless Of where they do training . If you aren’t a Hollywood Marine you def did get to make a call get to make a call unless you are Chesty Puller or Archibald Henderson . Before the invention of phones
Initial speech from head DI "Mhu whif mile on mybase, dyo unsdtan?" Yes sir "Mis pesion when spen to shaw or meen dyo unstand?" Yes sir Mumblemouth DIs confusin the shit out of boots since the beginning
This crap is dumb. They're busy doing this dumb crap looking like fools while their peers are making hundreds of thousands a year on social media as influencers. Rather be an influencer making $100K/yr at the age of 19 then a tool running around screaming and stroking drill instructor ego's. And these tools will get into the fleet and realize that Marine Corps real life is lame and depressing. At 25 they'll be busy saluting grown men and women, some of whom will be younger than them while their peers are buying homes and making 6-figure salaries. So lame.

Yes sir I said that in regards to uniforms they don't have to spit shine boots anymore and I've watched several videos addressing how they don't treat recruits like they did when I was in I will always love my fellow devil dogs they just have it easier than what we did my mos was 0311 so I was a hard charger anyway but love my corps love to all that served in every branch we all signed the dotted line to protect our beautiful country
You can’t spit shine the new style boots.
My little brother is going in a few weeks to do this shit. Scares the shit out of me with all that is going on in the world. Already lost one younger sibling. I believe in him tho. Ughhhh

Ship out in 6 days yall cant wait to call myself a Marine in 13 weeks Semper Fi
Was there May 28th 1982. What was odd is in the contraband room we weren't allowed to say a word. No sounding off whatsoever. We had to have those Skilcraft pens in our mouths the whole time. Anyone caught talking had to get up and sing. I laugh at it now, but it wasn't so funny then. Ah, the memories!
Taking my asvab soon respect to all my future brothers and sisters
Man I ship out August 5th. Getting closer each day
PI or san Diego?
Stay strong and remember - we here in Europe count on you. You're NEVER alone, you're the bulwark of values, qualities and history which are larger than life and which ONLY the US could defend globally in an effective way. Good luck and after its all over come to Europe and even check out Ukraine - Ukraine needs everyone's help now, if the US and Europe are to live in peace. Respect and much love!
@@aj.1k922 hey man, I got out in 2012, did 11 years and 4 tours to Iraq, I went to paris Island, just do what your told and do it quick and "sound off" meaning, YELL, you have to scream everything you will loose your voice a bit but just do what you are told, do it quick, go to church service on Sunday, it gets you out of the squad bay for a few hours. you will be fine, keep updated brother!
I leave tomorrow so thats going to be fun
Enjoy yourself and embrace the SUCK!!!... ooRaah!!❤😅
the pit kicks butt.
Went in '74. I cut my hair before i got there. Wasnt a kiss ass nor a trouble maker. Stayed in the woodwork. Worked for me
Jesus H Christ on a Harley! GIRLS AT SAN DIEGO???
Hell is freezing over.
I spent three months there from June to October in 1976, and the only girls I saw were in photographs.
I ship out June 24th this year. (2024) Wish me luck🤘
I went through this Oct 2011- Jan 2012. Echo Co. PLT 2103, Lead Series. SDI SSgt Curran, DI SSgt Ratliff, DI SSgt Casias and DI SSgt Barton
Don't wanna sound dumb but the Drill Instructor on the thumb was probably our drill hat for Lima company plt 3243. Drill Instructor Ssgt Pelkola. He's as real as they get and when he ITs u you might as well claim a heat case lol.
I served from 94 to 98 as an 0311 the corps has changed so much I feel like it's gotten soft
You think so. I’m a gen Z ( sadly) but I acknowledge the things that are off here. Do you mind being specific as to what’s changed in the corps that made it softer
this is extremely similar to coast guard boot camp. except you dont ever really say Sir. you never call an enlisted person sir in the coast guard. Only officers.
but we had
EARS!
OPEN!
EYEBALLS!
CLICK!
We never got to make a phone call when we arrived at PI.
Good thing this is San Diego AND these Recruits and all get to make calls regardless Of where they do training . If you aren’t a Hollywood Marine you def did get to make a call get to make a call unless you are Chesty Puller or Archibald Henderson . Before the invention of phones
I went to PI in 1990 and we did NOT get to make a call home on arrival I assure you.
The footage was dope but the music killed it for me.
Just graduated charlie co good luck yall
Don’t care

Mumblemouth DIs confusin the shit out of boots since the beginning
I’m not ready to go but I know I have to go either way
Was in from 2013 to 17. The good times lol
DI's see the busses, says "Ahhh, fresh meat!!"
This crap is dumb. They're busy doing this dumb crap looking like fools while their peers are making hundreds of thousands a year on social media as influencers. Rather be an influencer making $100K/yr at the age of 19 then a tool running around screaming and stroking drill instructor ego's.
And these tools will get into the fleet and realize that Marine Corps real life is lame and depressing. At 25 they'll be busy saluting grown men and women, some of whom will be younger than them while their peers are buying homes and making 6-figure salaries. So lame.
I ship out in about 10 hours wish me luck boys
OH YEA, DON'T CRY AT NIGHT WHEN U HEAR THE PLANES LEAVING THE AIRPORT THATS LITERALLY RIGHT BEHIND THE PT FIELD N CHOW HALL😂😂
Why does this look appealing to me!?!?!
thumbnail that was my senior drill instructor for first 3 weeks
Hell. Absolute hell.
