Everyone there is laughing, not because it's funny... but because they all went through the real thing at one point. Every Marine (past & present) knows what's coming when the Commander releases the Platoon to the Drill Instructors. Damn I miss it!
Earlier that day, in the barracks: Ssgt: "Boots! I need two of you in cammies with go fasters, meet me down at the duty hut by 1400!" Boots: "What for ssgt?" Ssgt: "You'll find out. Trust me, you'll find out."
@@goldenhide iunno, they made me and a group of recruits clean the racks that Marines stayed at MCRD. Once we were done the CPL there was just holding us in a storage room and told us to go to sleep until they found some new stuff for us to do and becuz they didnt want the DI and other Marines know that we weren't doing anything. We literally sat on the hard floor in the room and fell asleep for 2-3 hours.
@@iplayfoofee3547 I got to do team week at Edson Range. One week before everyone else in our Company got to Edson... I guess that was our reward for winning Initial Drill? Lol ... I got assigned to be a vampire. Best week of boot camp. We would finish prepping all the food around 2ish. The LCpl who was in charge would give us 3 minutes to grab as much junk food as possible before watching television the rest of the shift. Wasn't bad. Probably like 8 of us total. Maybe less.
Super boot to discuss on here but when did you go through? I was in Mike from January to April of 2014 and I remember "THIS IS INDIA!!!!!!" all the freaking time.
Question, since your younger brother was a Drill Instructor, maybe he would know this: Do USMC Drill Instructor wear campaign covers that are one or two sizes too small for their heads? It looks like they do.
That time I got caught by the drill instructor from upstairs calling another recruit "Yoohoo" my first week with all 4 D.I.s! Wiped his spit off my cheeks for about 10 minutes!
I did 20 years in the Marine Corps, throughout my entire career, I have seen or heard of 1 B-Billet PME done by any of the squadrons or units I had been with. It was way back around 1995, our SgtMaj "Hard Dog" Jones for VMGR-352 pulled the strings and planning to have all his squadron's NCOs hold this PME. SgtMaj Jones went above this for one particular day as it was a "Career Day" of sorts within the Corps. We were stationed at MCAS El Toro, about 45 minutes north of MCB Camp Pendleton. We got on one of own KC-130s and flew to NAS North Island in San Diego. From there we hopped on a bus and visited USS Boxer, which was only commissioned in 1995. Talked of shipboard life, Marine Corps Security Forces, MARDETs, etc. From there we hopped on the bus again and went to MCRD San Diego. Over by the parade deck we were in this conference room where we had the B-Billet PME for us NCOs. It wasn't the only time SgtMaj Jones held PME with us, he did it numerous times back at El Toro, different things you can do in the Marine Corps, how to improve your career, etc. Looking back at it after years in the service, what he pulled off numerous times to take care of his NCOs was a big deal. The military life, your job there, is a grind. There is a daily mission and often times what's happening with your average Marine to take care and improve him gets lost... Because the mission comes first. It gets busy, there's little time for anything else, so it's easy for a lot of things to get swept aside. SgtMaj had to have had a lot of clout, planning, connections to get what we had for our trip down south done. A lot of external organizations, a different service, had to buy off on it to all go down on a single day. This went down in my first enlistment, I have never heard of, seen, or been part of any unit where something like this was done the way SgtMaj Jones did for us. He was a good man, good Marine, and a good Sergeant Major that had a lot of respect, and well liked in the squadron. He regularly visited us in the Maintenance Department to see how we were doing, chatting with us. When we had to work weekends, he was upstairs in his office until maintenance went home. He would turn out to be the best SgtMaj I would ever have served under in the Marine Corps. It was a good unit at the time. Morale was high, and the best indicator was how a lot of guys were re-enlisting. The funny part was that since that was my first unit to be a part of in the Fleet Marine Force, I did not know how good it was until I left it and be part of other units, different leadership, etc. When I got orders to go to Okinawa, the squadron and environment there was the complete polar opposite. The rank and file Marines, we were tight knit, but that was it, it was an awful squadron to be in at the time.
No offense Brother but thats why you were in the wing and others were in the grunts when its game time a quarterback does not play on the line but thanks for your service Semper Fidelis C 1/5
SDI is the epitome of a Drill Instructor…a specimen of high speed, low altitude hatred intent on motivating his recruits to attain physical and mental toughness, agility, and lethality required of a Marine. 🦅🌎⚓️
When I was a young Sergeant in 1990, I called my monitor to request a B Billet and he said " sorry, your MOS is currently at 105% of Sergeants needed for B Billets. Wait until you pick up SSgt and try again." When I finally got in zone for promotion to SSgt ( 5 years later), I made a mad dash to the phone and called the monitor again. He said, hey we will be at Camp Lejeune next month, make sure you come and see me. When the monitors got to Lejeune, I went to the field house and got in line to see my 08 monitor. When I finally got to the front of the line, he said " hey man, we just went over our allotted SSgts for BBillets, but now we need Sergeants." I never bothered with monitors again until my 20th year and that was to tell him I was retiring.
Returning from the Gulf War, I too remembered the monitor visiit to the CLNC Goettege Memorial Field House. So many were scrambling for jobs as the defense budget reductions took place. I ended up leaving the Corps, kicking and screaming, then went to college, and retired a mustang with a couple degrees. I was 2dLdgSptBn (red patchers) in the French Creek area.
Damn it's been since September,8,1992 when I met .y DI's, and it is something you will NEVER FORGET!!! And no one that hasn't been there can never understand what it is like. I loved every second of my time at Parris Island. My second biggest mistake in my life was getting out and not staying in. Semper Fi to all Marines, past and present. Our Corps will NEVER die, for as long as there are Marines alive we all will never be forgotten.
It's a nice comment you must have been a great Marine. My dad was a drill structure and we lived in Oceanside but I was a kid and Semper Fi is in my blood.. and I'm the daughter my granddaughter is the wife of a Marine stationed Camp Pendleton. I'm also the great grandmother of two little baby boys that's on the war path concerning the derelictive duty by the leadership down Camp Pendleton. As a polar bear protecting her Cubs I've made it quite clear when I called last year about the 73% of the Dead from this whole 20 years of nightmare has happened on American soil and training exercises. So they know somebody's called and now it's come around a year again and it popped up on my newsfeed because they knew I wouldn't let it go after having their report on what happened with the amphibious vehicle. But it's a lot of other things so light armored vehicle rollovers. So you know what it takes to be a Marine you are a killing machine but you go through the 13 lakes and you become one went for all and all for one. The training of these marines boys in the vehicle that drowned had no stress training that is on their command up up. So just thought I'd leave a comment that this stage of my life having lost my 23 year old son and having to find out how and who was responsible I owe it to him that he's not here with me to stand up anytime I see another parent looking for answers and being told oh we have a 2000 page report it was an accident. Well they don't seem to realize that there are people like myself that go in and we research everything took a dog with a bone and I know that it was not an accident when you take a vehicle that's been sitting for a year little oil in it take it out in the ocean with boys inside that have not been stress trained and they're locked in the back the fear must have been paralyzing as they're going down a thousand feet to implode because my older son is a master diver who trained with the Coast Guard. So anything goes on they'll be somebody looking over to make these big fat brass guys knock them right off their pedestals. And anybody wants to skip by because they have a college degree yeah right 🤭 Semper Fidelis 🕊️🇺🇲
I'm damn near 60 years old and to this day I talk about my time in my Marine Corps almost on a daily basis. I've had friends, family, etc., ask me "Can't you just forget about it?" They just don't get it nor will they ever understand it. Semper Fi, Marines.
I’ve been out of the army infantry since 2000 and I still sometimes have dreams I’m back in and at a good old fashioned shark attack before they got soft 😂🤣🤔
2bn golf company platoon 2107 senior DI ssgt Ornales, DI Sgt. Nunery , DI Sgt Wilson. Best god damn time of life. I hope and pray those three marines that made a US Marine are doing well thank you
Fuck man I still remember our Black Friday as if it were yesterday. Lol I love my Corps so freakin much man. Sometimes I wish I were still a Marine but god damn, I love my hot showers and hot chow too damn much. Rah brothers and sisters (1/5 0311)
SSgt Hutson, (Sgt Hutson at that time in 2013) was my senior drill instructor. I forgot my platoon I have extremely bad memory. Was there August 25 2013 till November 2013. He was scary and badass
I have yet to hear a video with a drill instructor in it that I have been able to understand. They scream so loudly and quickly it's unintelligible. I'd just wait on a pause and shout "aye sir".
Most of them operate on lack of sleep too! They go to bed after it's lights out for the recruits (sometimes one even stays up all night supervising the designated recruit on Fire Watch, or on Fire Watch duty themselves), and wake up BEFORE the recruits do to get into uniform and commence reveille. And still they run MILES around the recruits during PT and formation.
CHRISTOPHER TIJERINO... yes SADDETH, when you're in the Marines you are taught how to give a class and you must do it the Marines way. It is called "Gaining their attention" to start into what their learning objectives are; and then the class starts (per say). So don't knock what you didn't learn from McDonald's,,, SADDETH!
Im assuming those were Marines dressed as recruits correct? Or was this done at a Depot where recruits were "Donated" to be recruits in front of the class?
@@karl28560 That way has been putting young Marines to sleep for decades. I've only seen a few guys who actually could gain your real attention. One of those guys taught a class about sexual harassment and assault by using Tea as an allegory. It was the best class I had.

I spent 3 years as a recruiter in the Corps. Was promoted to SSgt. Fairly quickly, but didn't enjoy the experience. For me it was either Drill Instructor or Recruiter (8411). Glad I didn't choose DI.
eeh, I was a high school/some college wrestler. Failure (DI most motivating tool at the beginning) was never the slightest stigma. Basic was relaxing. Classroom boredom was my worst enemy. Hence, some college.
Having Wrestled for several years prior and right up to Basic...was a HUGE advantage for you as far as physical fitness aspect of recruit training Wrestling is by far the most physically demanding HS/University sport and demands of excellent Cardio and muscle building. Probably (to a point) helped you with some of the basic military knowledge - your academy is.
Man I got HSST'd like a month or two before I got out at the end of my 2nd term. Didn't have nowhere near as cool as presentations, but then again it was every E-5/E-6 elligible on MCAS Miramar crammed into the base theater. I think the Combat Instructor presentation had a pretty sweet video, but this was 2013 when they were beginning to push CI's *really* hard because they needed them bad. Ofc I got one of the DI monitors for the screening and had to look at her and be like "Gunnery Sergeant, I EAS in two months" and she gives me that look that only DI's give you right? lol Anyways, I'm sad I didn't get to latmove to 0211, and I shoulda stuck with my original plan of trying out for MSG, but ended up panicking and reupping in my MOS. Which wasn't bad, I got really good at it and met some of my bestest friends from the Corps in my second enlistment. Too bad my depression and anxiety worsened and with my mental health when my physical health and weight :( I bet the algo recommended this because of I watched the "snap back to reality" introduction from DI School a few weeks ago. :D
This is so....true....I nearly died when a MSgt was struggling reading the medal award ceremony. I died and couldn't stop laughing after trying so hard to control my laughter. The guys though I had a hiccup because of how hard I was struggling to stop my laughing.
It's colloquially known as "Frog Voice." They absolutely have blown voices. By the end of the first cycle and going on to the next, and the next and the next without that much of a break, you're going to be blown out. But, DI's need 110% intensity all the time, so they still need to be loud. Some go to "the frog" and stay there because it's the only way to keep at it. Others, like him, I imagine still have some of their voice left, but not all of it, and use frog voice for emphasis. Going from what I used to be taught in singing: you can't just yell from your vocal cords, you'll physically tear them, and it doesn't allow you to get as much volume (certainly sustained for periods) either, so you work from the diaphragm, but in something like Boot, that is still gonna tear you up. I'd reckon, there's some science behind this about how frog voice moves to a different, stronger, and not normally used part of your vocal cords that lets you keep at it and not shred them nearly as fast.
What’s with them (DIs) looking down? In the Army, you always keep your head forward, ‘eyes front’ and hands along the seam line of your trousers. Not too mention, straight up body posture. Plus, I could barely understand some of the DI’s instructions. Spoke so fast that it sounded like he was mumbling.
The very fact that it is necessary to tell a recruit they will not be physically, or verbally abused "should" tell you that is exactly what goes on there
If it weren't for the long hair, I would've thought that the Marines in cammies were recruits. :-D Also cracked me up how he took a breather while the "recruits" were in the other room.
For the uneducated, being a Drill Sgt is easy among recruits. While your ethics dictate all the right decisions and fairness in training, recruits will follow you blindly accepting everything as fact and legit. Among the PEER Marines, the "hats" don't intimidate the crowd. Among the SENIOR crowd, the discussion is more of an evaluation while performing in front of those that may have already performed the tasks. Nov 1983, San Diego.

How long ago were you in?? I’m currently residing in the US (from Australia) thinking either Army or marines, only thing that’s disappointing is the integration of females with males. Is it worth joining the marines or army?
Alaskan Whiskey that sucks man, political correctness is ruining the marines... this has been happening to the Aussie army the last 10 years, it softened up and lost that grunt
Alaskan Whiskey I’m going in to serve the country that’s taking me in (first and foremost) it’s also a way for me to absorb into the country (get quick citizenship) I’m aiming 4 years and that will probably do me, I think. I’ll take your advice, 4 years and out. Are women ruining the marines too?

I worked with that senior DI, now a gunny, man is a machine
Highly motivated, truly dedicated USMC !
ashamed to say but this just unlocked something deep and forgotten...how could i ever let my passion get buried by the stress of life
Why does the song why can’t we be friends why can’t we be friends sticks in my head 😂
SSgt Plambeck was one of my drill instructors. Semper Fidelis
From the thumbnail pic I thought the drill sergeant was gunna do a Michael Jackson dance.
He's a Drill instructor!!!! Now push!!!!
these are all India Company Dis MCRD San Diego
They are so good at their job it’s unbelievable
Most of them operate on lack of sleep too! They go to bed after it's lights out for the recruits (sometimes one even stays up all night supervising the designated recruit on Fire Watch, or on Fire Watch duty themselves), and wake up BEFORE the recruits do to get into uniform and commence reveille. And still they run MILES around the recruits during PT and formation.
hey saddeth, itmwas a PME on Special Duty Assignments. that was just the gain attention for the DI portion of it. :)
CHRISTOPHER TIJERINO... yes SADDETH, when you're in the Marines you are taught how to give a class and you must do it the Marines way. It is called "Gaining their attention" to start into what their learning objectives are; and then the class starts (per say). So don't knock what you didn't learn from McDonald's,,, SADDETH!
Im assuming those were Marines dressed as recruits correct? Or was this done at a Depot where recruits were "Donated" to be recruits in front of the class?
@@karl28560 That way has been putting young Marines to sleep for decades. I've only seen a few guys who actually could gain your real attention. One of those guys taught a class about sexual harassment and assault by using Tea as an allegory. It was the best class I had.
@@karl28560 I think Sadeth may be a Marine as well unless there's a different Sadeth in the comment section asking about HSST.
He says that speech almost like he expects those ncos to still believe it lol.
Discipline and spirit are the hall marks of a marine
The senior , was our J hat back in 2012, India Co. plt.3203 senior d.I. Ssgt Chavez, kill hat Sgt Tarvis, the hardest mfkers I’ve met in my life , thank you for training me into my best damn self gentlemen, Sgt Hutson (back in the day ) had us walking that tight rope throughout the depot , best days of my life.
Yep it is still very clear in my memories of Parris Island October 1973 - 1993 3rd RTBN Company "I" Platoon 395.
I served w SSGT Hudson in Iraq, BP Okinawa. Damn that’s crazy that’s my dog!! We were workout buddies. I hope you see this Hud. I love you brother!! RAIDER!!! - Gill
Damn i just had a flashback of 3rd BN kilo co 3029. 1998.
Damn. I was 3rd Bn, Kilo Co. Graduated May, ‘86.
I spent 3 years as a recruiter in the Corps. Was promoted to SSgt. Fairly quickly, but didn't enjoy the experience. For me it was either Drill Instructor or Recruiter (8411). Glad I didn't choose DI.
Sometimes videos like this make me wonder where I went wrong in the recruiting office
eeh, I was a high school/some college wrestler. Failure (DI most motivating tool at the beginning) was never the slightest stigma. Basic was relaxing. Classroom boredom was my worst enemy. Hence, some college.
Having Wrestled for several years prior and right up to Basic...was a HUGE advantage for you as far as physical fitness aspect of recruit training
Wrestling is by far the most physically demanding HS/University sport and demands of excellent Cardio and muscle building. Probably (to a point) helped you with some of the basic military knowledge - your academy is.
Marines have some impressive drill instructors
Oh shit Sgt Miller! (SSgt now) that was my J-hat!
He was the senior when i was in bootcamp
He was my kill hat Dec 2014! Lmao and ssgt plambek was in another platoon. Small world
Man I got HSST'd like a month or two before I got out at the end of my 2nd term. Didn't have nowhere near as cool as presentations, but then again it was every E-5/E-6 elligible on MCAS Miramar crammed into the base theater. I think the Combat Instructor presentation had a pretty sweet video, but this was 2013 when they were beginning to push CI's *really* hard because they needed them bad. Ofc I got one of the DI monitors for the screening and had to look at her and be like "Gunnery Sergeant, I EAS in two months" and she gives me that look that only DI's give you right? lol
Anyways, I'm sad I didn't get to latmove to 0211, and I shoulda stuck with my original plan of trying out for MSG, but ended up panicking and reupping in my MOS. Which wasn't bad, I got really good at it and met some of my bestest friends from the Corps in my second enlistment. Too bad my depression and anxiety worsened and with my mental health when my physical health and weight :(
I bet the algo recommended this because of I watched the "snap back to reality" introduction from DI School a few weeks ago. :D
An amazing example of Military Intelligence....
This is where SNCO's learn to read promotion warrants with a 3rd grade reading level.
🤣🤣🤣
This is so....true....I nearly died when a MSgt was struggling reading the medal award ceremony. I died and couldn't stop laughing after trying so hard to control my laughter. The guys though I had a hiccup because of how hard I was struggling to stop my laughing.
That's some good training,id luv to do it again!!!! Oohhhh rraaahhhhh !!!! Drill instructors
Intense, but highly motivating!!!!!!!
I can't understand a word they're saying. How the hell do recruits get through that?
Very carefully
That’s the point...
@@24Mossberg Oh I see. Yes.
It sounds much slower when you're on the receiving end for real. And that's exactly what it's designed to do.
I like the way Marines give instruction…The Army, Air Force, Navy and Cost Guard at to soft..Marines are number one.
You aint catching me ever doing DI school i refuse to get treated like a boot again
Can anyone explain why Senior DI changed his voice like that? Never understood the purpose, just always thought their voices were blown out.
It's colloquially known as "Frog Voice." They absolutely have blown voices. By the end of the first cycle and going on to the next, and the next and the next without that much of a break, you're going to be blown out. But, DI's need 110% intensity all the time, so they still need to be loud. Some go to "the frog" and stay there because it's the only way to keep at it. Others, like him, I imagine still have some of their voice left, but not all of it, and use frog voice for emphasis.
Going from what I used to be taught in singing: you can't just yell from your vocal cords, you'll physically tear them, and it doesn't allow you to get as much volume (certainly sustained for periods) either, so you work from the diaphragm, but in something like Boot, that is still gonna tear you up. I'd reckon, there's some science behind this about how frog voice moves to a different, stronger, and not normally used part of your vocal cords that lets you keep at it and not shred them nearly as fast.
What’s with them (DIs) looking down? In the Army, you always keep your head forward, ‘eyes front’ and hands along the seam line of your trousers. Not too mention, straight up body posture. Plus, I could barely understand some of the DI’s instructions. Spoke so fast that it sounded like he was mumbling.
When you set the tone people listen.
The very fact that it is necessary to tell a recruit they will not be physically, or verbally abused "should" tell you that is exactly what goes on there
If it weren't for the long hair, I would've thought that the Marines in cammies were recruits. :-D
Also cracked me up how he took a breather while the "recruits" were in the other room.
Senior drill coming to bring the pain.
That's my Senior Drill Instructor Ssgt Hutson PLT 3203 India Company! Kill! 2013...
I would give just about anything to go back and finish my recruitment.
awesome impression
Watch this with cc on!
Why are some filming with their phones.????
Is that something that's in the arsenal?
I can't understand half of what is being said...am I alone?
Why do marines march with shoulders forward and head down?
"A Marine never Steals"
Me: "indeed, but history has shown that numerous items have been 'tactically acquired', when in situ....."
I really want to know how those two recruits ended up having to relive receiving day in desert Cammies and go fasters
I don't even know wtf I was watching. But it was cool
For the uneducated, being a Drill Sgt is easy among recruits. While your ethics dictate all the right decisions and fairness in training, recruits will follow you blindly accepting everything as fact and legit. Among the PEER Marines, the "hats" don't intimidate the crowd. Among the SENIOR crowd, the discussion is more of an evaluation while performing in front of those that may have already performed the tasks. Nov 1983, San Diego.
What was the purpose of that? All the Marines in the room went through boot camp and experienced that first hand.
2 years running out of time. I'm willing to invest a third
"...only when i tell you to, do it now move!" At that moment I was like oh shit bootcamp officially started
0:40 "I will now reaffirm the commit to you and to the Marine Corp by administering the Drill Instructor Creed, x raises right hand as 3 D.I. follow suit x
"These recruits are entrusted to my care"
D.I's : "These x yells gibberish x entrusted x more gibberish x to my care!"
"I will train them to the best of my ability"
D.I's: "I will train em to da best of ma abilt!"
"I will develop them into..."
D.I.: "I will develop into..."
"Smartly disciplined..."
D.I.: "Smartly discipline..."
"Physically Fit..."
D.I.: "Physically Fit..."
...eh close enough! :D
Put down those damn phones and pay attention
This is almost as intense as air force bootcamp
Always better when it wasn’t you.
Mike Co. Plt. 3271, for us it was 5,4,3,2,1,0! “DIE!” And after any command it was “deep move” haha good shit
20170424?
What is b-billet pme lol (asking as someone in the navy)
What's with the ones who were on their phones the whole speech?
They’re all already marines. This whole thing was an act lol that’s why they were laughing. Just reminiscing on recruit training
Great memories! Love USMC🇺🇸💀🤙🏽
Ahhh....what memories.
I know you....you were my SNCOIC of RS Greenville
Can someone explain what's going on here
Great speech
The marine corps ways played the best games.
One of the hardest things I have done. SFMF
How long ago were you in?? I’m currently residing in the US (from Australia) thinking either Army or marines, only thing that’s disappointing is the integration of females with males.
Is it worth joining the marines or army?
Alaskan Whiskey shit!! What’s made it so shit??
I just got married in America, applying for a green card, Aussie army is just as shit man
Alaskan Whiskey thanks, but what is it that you’re warning? Has the marine corps lost that “grunt”?
Alaskan Whiskey that sucks man, political correctness is ruining the marines... this has been happening to the Aussie army the last 10 years, it softened up and lost that grunt
Alaskan Whiskey I’m going in to serve the country that’s taking me in (first and foremost) it’s also a way for me to absorb into the country (get quick citizenship) I’m aiming 4 years and that will probably do me, I think. I’ll take your advice, 4 years and out. Are women ruining the marines too?
Looks like fun, but I got Selected to be a recruiter instead 😆 I’ll get fat and nasty
Great video
Why does he change his voice like that?
Is That You John Wayne?
Is This Me?
those poor boots😂😂😂
the one smiling was like "ah man. good times"
Why were those marines in their desert Cams wearing go fasters?
Northeastern Woodland traditions It was a skit for attention gainer on a PME class for SDA
Yes Sir
What kind of PME is this? Are all them on the room on the HSST list?
Sadeth Cheng They are all NCOs so they are showing them special duty assignments
Light the fire back in some NCOs that might have lost the passion. Remember... encourage the wayward.
Not screaming
