"I hope that recruit DIES!" - Drill Instructor's SHOCKING Reaction
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 май 2024
- In this powerful video, former U.S. Marine Austin Hancock shares a chilling tale from his boot camp, experiences with drill instructors, and much more. As an Anti-Tank Assaultman who served from 2006 to 2010, Austin witnessed a shocking moment when a recruit attempted to take his own life by jumping out of a third-story window. What followed was a reaction from a Drill Instructor that left Austin stunned.
Austin's story delves into the intense and often brutal reality of Marine Corps boot camp, where recruits are physically and mentally pushed to their limits. He describes the Drill Instructors as "salty bastards" who have been through the most demanding challenges the Marines have, including combat deployments and earning prestigious awards like the Purple Heart.
Through his gripping narrative, Austin sheds light on the extreme pressure and psychological toll that recruits face during their training, which can sometimes lead to drastic actions like the one he witnessed. His account also highlights the complex and often controversial role of Drill Instructors, who mold raw recruits into battle-ready Marines.
As you watch this eye-opening video, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and sacrifices that Marines like Austin endure during their service. His story is a testament to the resilience and fortitude required to make it through one of the world's most demanding military training programs.

Bro,
Your story is the same as my son's. He is now a Gunny and will retire in four years.
Had a guy hang himself when i was in Army basic in 1983. The private on fire watch found him and ran to wake up one of our drill instructors. The drill instructor stood there looking at him hanging for probably 10 seconds, seemed like forever, then told a couple of us to untie him. He was fucking blue but still breathing. A few other drill instructors came in and carried him away and that's the last we saw him.
That's horrific and I'm sorry you had to see that. Do you know if he survived? And was there a lot of violence against recruits while you were in basic?
The Army has Drill Sergeants. The Marines have Drill Instructors.
We had a guy drink Brasso. I’m not sure how much long term damage it caused him but the fact that he wanted out bad enough to take it that far was enough to get him booted out.
He was still breathing and yall just let him die?
@@tonyjones1560 what's brasso
2006 Marine Corps bootcamp was the f'n thunder dome. Seen DI's physically beat recruits, recruits seizuring from severe dehydration during quarter deck sessions, breaking their legs during up downs, having recruits knock each other out, it was wild.
You're speaking truth. My husband's good friend was in at that same time at MCRD. Took a flying squirrel kick to the chest by a DI, was regularly elbowed, and even said aDI put a kids head through a glass window (the kids got all cut up, and when the higher ups investigated, the DI's told the kid to say he slipped and fell through the glass).
For better or worse, the Moms of the Marine Corps organization seem to have simmered things down greatly since then, he said.
Went through in 2020 got my senior to use my body to bust racks apart lol told the LT I slept hard real hacksaw ridge shit but grateful it was hard
I always tell civilians , u want to be Rambo go active , u want a gut check go reserves , right before graduation you’ll see all the active duty guys wishing they went reserves , and if u love the suk , just go active duty , gives yourself options , that what life is all about and I do respect 4th battalion WM’s best booty you ll ever find , Semper Fi
Truth. I went through in Feb 07. That shit was crazy. A guy in the deck above ours got his head split open with a moonbeam. We got stiffed armed across footlockers by DIs. They were old school. All of my SOI instructors were Fallujah/Ramadi vets who were in the shit there. Hardcore dudes with a lot of experience. We learned a ton and our senior NCOs were hard on us. Paid off on deployment
I guarantee they wouldn't do much of that. If they knew for a fact, they would get hit back.
I got out of the Marines in 1981 and didn't get to scratch that itch. I joined the Army in 1985 and finally got down range in 1991, Desert Storm.
If you'd stayed in im sure that you would've seen desert storm as a Marine. But hey, it happens that way sometimes.
Seeing it as a marine probably would have been a lot worse, do you regret your decision? I find everything about Marines and Iraq so damn fascinating ty
@@JoshuaDavoli Combat is combat no matter who you are with. When you are in the middle of it is just as bad as what the Marines are doing. Getting hit won't hurt any less because you are a Marine, although a lot of them want you to believe that!
I was in a Cav. unit. A little different than the Average ground pounder. It seems like in the Cav you do a little of everything. Especially if you were a scout. I was a Nuclear, biological and chemical warfare specialist. I was in a recon platoon. We did a lot of scout work and did it better than the guys who were scouts by MOS. We beat them at ranges all the time! Good times!!!
What made you choose the Army on your 2nd enlistment
@@nf1370 Something different. I knew I was going to go to Germany if I went in the Army so I went in, became an NBC specialist and got into an NBC Recon platoon with 3/7 Cav. Mannheim Germany. Got a German wife. Been married 36 years.
I understand building toughness but damn that's fucked up. Thats still a American kid that already had signed the oath.
Those DIs lost some of their humanity out there.
They wanted absolute men ready as they can be without actually seeing combat yet.
Instead of thinking of it as building toughness, picture it as them trying to kill you inside lol It’s more akin to that. The DI saying he hopes the recruit dies is exhibiting behavior that the recruit probably experienced some of, hence leading him to wanna jump to his death lol. Maybe that helps put that mindset and environment into perspective for you somewhat
An oath to not destroy gov property and not suicidal tendencies before joining
My Cousin joined army 2001 immediately post 9/11 I think he was in Fallujah with 10th mountain. Probably not as deep and combat heavy as the Marines but Ive never really spoke to him much about his time in combat other than about his 2 purple heart wounding incidents. One from a mortar blowing a sand bag into his head and another from a really massive Car Bomb IED that hit his Humvee. They said it was basically a miracle the 4 guys survived. He was passenger seat and it blew up on the drivers side from maybe 1-3 road lanes away. Car filled with multiple rigged artillery shells. He did 2 tours in Iraq and 2 in Afghanistan. He got out in O8 or 09. The guys who came back from those early days like him but stayed longer were probably battle hardened savages and probably raised some tough soldiers but used some questionable means to do so. A lot of them were probably fucked up from their experiences too and what they saw probably desensitized them to the recruits complaints and underperforming during trainin and they had zero tolerance.
He chose to traumatize those around him and force some random corpsman to clean him up, he's not to be respected, he was a liability and a danger to his own. Now, boot camp is designed to train people to perform a job under extreme mental and physical stress, it is not for everybody or even most people. It demands so much because the enemy will demand even more, so there is zero point in pretending any of this is wrong because it's not. The standards need to be high and the experience brutal because war is going to be significantly worse than anything the DI can throw at them. Nobody is forced to be there, anyone can leave at any time and it's fine to do so, nobody is going to think less of somebody that admits it's not for them. The worst thing that possibly could and now has happened is taking all of this away as then you get ineffective troops that will fold under fire and have wasted precious resources on creating a civilian militia instead of a professional force of warriors.
We lost 3 reservists on my 2nd pump in Helmand to an insider attack....attached to my line platoon. Rest in Peace Ssgt. Dickinson, Cpl Rivera, Lcpl Buckley
1/10? Those names sound super familiar
None of those Marines were reservists. They were from Kbay in Hawaii, 3rd Reg, attached to 3/8 for an ETT. They were murdered by a chai boy on FOB Delhi, while they were working out at the makeshift gym.
@Hostile_x I always thought they were reserve MPs. I was with Kilo Co at Dehli
Nah, they were motor T originally back in Kbay, but active duty. RIP.
Platoon 2079 SDI Sgt. Madrid. Graduated May 19th 2006. That shit was crazy!
I’m glad you told the story of the recruit that thew himself off the building. I get the feeling most people never believed me. You explained DI’s the way I remember them. Terrifying!
The way I see it is if an occasional recruit doesn’t die in boot camp Marines aren’t made. It’s gotta be that tough considering the places we deploy.
Your entire story and message is spot on. Thank you and Semper Fi.
That was my platoon number too! 2079, Echo company, 2nd battalion. SDI SSGT. Harma. Graduated Feb. 17, 1995. Semper Fi.

😂 FACTS
I was a Corpsman in the Navy. I once had to recover the body of a fellow saior who killed himself.
This was in Japan in the summer. He was discovered about 3 days after he did what he did. I am not going to go in detail because it was too awful and disturbing.
I can remember too much detail. It was one of the worst memories of being a Corpsman. It was the worst part of the duty.
Why'd he do it?
@chasechiamulera7704 He probably had mental health problems. There were a lot of rumors. The reality is that only he knew why.
Glad to hear the military gave him the discipline and structure he needed.
👊🏼
They are pretty good at that
Dude! SSgt Gant was my platoon sergeant in 3/7 Lima Co. Dude was actually a very cool and calm guy in the fleet but could go back to that DI mode in an instant.

Had a guy from my battalion who hung himself in his barracks room after deployment. His SSG walked up to me when I asked what was going on and told me what happened, he said " I'm glad he did it, I fucking hated that kid". You have a bunch of "killers" all under one roof, that's just how life goes. Not exactly the "Band of Brothers" days, and life in an Infantry battalion is ruthless.
"if you kill yourself let me watch so I can get a day off" 😂
I went to boot camp in 2010, was 3rd BN on PI. I’ll tell you that 3rd BN was off in the woods, and our DI’s did not fuck around. Even watched two of them duke it out while we are in formation doing rifle manual. Then because they fought we disappeared for 4 hours in the woods
3BN Mike Company, 2008... was WILD. 😂 that sh*t could never be done today.

I was at PI in 2010 as well 1st battalion, there was some shit going on with 1st battalion barracks at the time so I spent my entire book camp at the rifle range barracks, talk about being in the back of the woods that was about as far back as you could get there haha.
I was in PI in 2010 as well, Aug time frame, then went to SOI for Nov, shipped out for work up to Afghanistan a few months later. Was in 1st BN C Co.
Another Great interview❤. Thank you for your service Marine. I Am happy to hear you've succeeded. Hope in the near future we can build homes for our homeless military personnel. Gratitude 🎉💝🕊️
I saw a fellow recruit in the Army try to kill himself too. He was in a closed bathroom stall and there was blood all over the floors. The drill sergeant just laughs, busts open the stall door, and taunts the kid to kill himself, "Just fn kill yourself!" The recruit had slit his wrists. He didnt die, but i wonder what happened to that kid, and still wonder if hes okay today. Hed be in his forties cause that was in 2001.
25:30 Marine Reservists got slayed as much as Active Duty. We had reservists with us, and I saw plenty reserve companies out front. Many of those guys had a crazy operational tempo.
Sounds like you needed what I needed. The ability to fight and cause chaos but in a controlled environment with consequences. It just took me 20 years to realize that and I miss that environment and the deployments every single day.

Fun and inspirational video. His going through boot camp and having DIs riding them hard to weed out recruits who they claim could get them killed reminds me of Full Metal Jacket. I wonder if he saw this movie.
We came back from chow on sand hill Benning, the buffer machine was hanging out the window, well there was a guy tied to the other end of the power cord
So inspiring
We had a dude in boot camp jump and another dude hang himself. One in receiving and another in Company. I also heard a DI say about the same thing.
Nowadays all these stories about him fighting people would end in death from a gun. So many cowardice teenagers and young adults carry guns illegally.
Thankfully that's a problem that's almost exclusively in the inner cities. Kids from any other areas almost always have way more respect for life than that.

Ft. Knox KY summer 08 we had a recruit hang himself. He was put into our platoon about half way through basic and was only there a few days before he made the move. He looked mentally unwell, you could just tell. Not sure if it was from basic training or if he already had struggles before joining
I had charges. Got a deal joined in 2006. Got out 2011 same story. Semper terminal combat lance.
Kevin Wilson is correct; he knew what no one told me in college: That veterans are also people who do not go to conflicts--I did not know that until now. I got a recent side-eye from someone about this (the last legitimate side-eyes given were from Prince--where you get decently, silently patronized nowadays, who knows, but it's probably not in Minnesota). As far as I knew, veterans were people who go to wars (or "near them," anyway: we went to Desert Storm but saw no oil abused, that's because we were so far away from the excitement it was a joke--as a result, I still do not consider myself a veteran and never will--there is no comparison to Tarawa and Desert Storm--there is also no comparison to catching a cab in Fallujah and Desert Storm).
Anyway, I was unaware of that until just a minute ago (which still doesn't make much sense to me--what's the big deal about doing four years at Lejeune or at Ft. Bragg--how a half-baked enlistment--like the majority of them are, qualifies you as a veteran remains beyond me but it apparently does qualify you). I thought Wilson was selling people in CA and elsewhere a pile of hooey--it is unfortunate that I have found that to be common so am always skeptical when I think I smell something--that added to the problem, my perception and assumptions based on past claims of others but my being wrong was also clearly a factor; in fact, someone else claims we went to Iraq but you can tell in photos we had a good time in the UAE--the civilian clothes and bags of KFC ruin "the hardships" we went through on liberty--also in Oman, it's just us, chilling in large groups--fighting holes aren't seen because we rarely dug them; there are no buildings because the Bedouins aren't slackers like us needing shelter; there are also no concerning uni-brows growing on future, amateur airline pilots who are also passersby; everyone also comes back alive with all their extremities--not one chocolate chip was lost--the only terrorist was our platoon sergeant but he was a good terrorist so wouldn't have fucked-up necessary ordinance (that were meant for other people--not his people as a result of red wires accidentally touching that other red wire). We also didn't fight the Bedouins occasionally seen in photos of "Iraq"; they were the neighbors with better things to do, so we never even learned their names (the only conflict worth a flip was laundry duty on ship--people fought over that because laundry duty was so skate, victory was sweet).
Did you write that yourself or is it a copy and paste?
I scribed it.
@@alexanderwalle3568 is scribe AI?
@alexanderwalle3568 Basically I'm wondering if youwrote that yourself, because if you did I'd be interested in reading more of your writing. I've read a lot on my life. You've got skill (assuming you wrote all of that yourself).
Artificial Inference.
If you fold in training, when there are safety rails a mile wide, then how can that same person face combat without it's unpredictability, chaos and savagery? It may not be appealing, it may seem barbaric to the outside, but the Corps deals with these things through application of discipline. In 2006, I was leading Marines in combat, and it was a singular honor. Semper Fidelis.
No such a thing as friends much, just coworkers in the military, don't get personal with anyone, no such thing as friends. Alot of rats as in fake friends, backstabbing.
you wanna talk about it bub? I take it you got the broom stick treatment
@DREKOWICK69 I will never trust anyone in the military again once I go back into the military again.
No friends, just coworkers, that is all, yes, still talk to other's and treat others as humans with respect and have fun and stuff but still...not friend's, best to avoid it all by accepting it still to be coworkers and to avoid things getting personal, negativity, grudge, etc.
Sounds like you you've got some issues, dude. My husband is former Army. His best friends to this day are guys he's served with. Seems to be the case for most guys that were in.
Been out 20years and I’m still brothers with my old Marines
@YeseniaV92 No, not me of issues, as in me that is the problem.
I mean do wanna have friends but I realized the truth of it.
To those that seved.. I love you! Thank you for you service and sacrifice! Had I not been diagnosed with cancer and had of my spine removed I would have been right there with you. That is my my mentality and culture! Was places like Ramada worse than Afghanistan worse? If so, was that because the troops were better trained? I don't know the exact stats but it seemed like a bunch of people passed away there comparatively speaking.
Love the new title card.
We had a dude get pulled because of the way he answered a mental health question. After that we had 2 other people think it was the easy way to get out of basic… it was AF basic, it’s not like it was hard! But I ended up pulling guard duty in my flight, then having to go down to a squadron CQ bunk area where these guys laughed about it and then 2 days later return back like it wasn’t a big deal. I was so pissed! The one kid that got flagged and pulled out of training was still there long after I left.

A lot of his story from being in trouble t boot camp etc... is like mine when I went in 88
What he says about looking for the fight while you are punching a clock leaves a guy with his tank half full. I went from a super kinetic deployment to a jobsite and it wasn't good. I was fortunate to meet the right people and got on a great path but it's hard to say killing people is a great thing but battle is highly addictive and you need to find an outlet quickly upon departing active service. This brother did it right and is living proof you do not have to have an MBA to be successful but you have to go get it!!!
I wonder what company he watched graduate badic , my buddy just graduated Basic training.
"Why won't people join the military?"
Sounds like how Chief Davis was when I went to boot camp and how a lot of the dis was in that time period in the navy before it got limp wristed
I seen a TI removed for assaulting a recruit. Stuff like that happens..in every branch. It's sad as well...that is the first step in their journey towards becoming a marine or airman or seaman..etc. That is not how any of those branches want young recruits to began their journey.

I struggle with the repeated reference to being a "man", and how that seems to describe something more than your male genitalia? I don't understand this and I had a similar background, only I didn't join the service I went to drug rehab and just straightened myself up with no further help than just wanting to be a law abiding citizen. If I could point to 2 differences between myself and this story is that I never like to physically fight, so instead of focusing on physical strength I just got a gun and everyone left me alone because they knew I was packing heat in school at age 16 to 17 yo. I grew up in Chicago is the other difference instead of Oklahoma small down and I deal smoke with hardened criminals not college punks, so I was well aware of what a real murderer looks like, but in all this I never considered myself as aspiring to be a "real man"? What defines this other than one's genitals?
We had a recruit in our sister platoon smoked himself in Marine Corp boot camp in November 88. He took a round from a night live fire the next morning when they were counting off in the morning he sucked the muzzle.
I was so pissed off that day cuz we should been throwing grenade that day instead we got stucked on the bleachers with the Pastors talking about our feeling of what happen.
I being a smart ass, I asked are we going to thrown the grenades or talk about feeling. Well I did either, I got smoked by Dill Instructors laughing their ass off.
Wait, is this a gang member or somebody respectable?
Hard to tell.
You think he's a gang member because he's got tattoos?!? He's a veteran, a very successful entrepreneur, a husband and a father. He's winning in all aspects of life. You could llearn alot from him, kiddo.
I am a police officer with no felony record, so, I'm doing better than you and mr tough guy.
@hansblitz7770 You clearly didn't listen to the interview. He doesn't have any felonies. The deal he made with the court was that if he was honorably discharged, then his record would be expunged.
You're a cop and I respect that. Tough job. But you're not married, you don't have kids, and there's no way you earn nearly as much as this guy does. Like I said, you could learn a lot from him if you put aside your fragile ego for a minute.

Even if you're in the highest paying police dept in the country your entire 20 year pension is peanuts to what he made annually in the middle of a recession. But go ahead and tell us how youre better than somebody with a felony😂
@@hansblitz7770 the fact you have to brag about having no felony record shows just how awful the police are wow
Covered in vile tatts, “entrepreneurial journey”, now selling wisdom, fast talking
Don’t believe a thing this guy says
vile tats? omgosh,are you offended?
Hey Dave…….GFY over and over again 👍🏻
@@christopherE47051 that's vile. You're a sinner
This same shit happened at Lackland right before I got there and our TI told us about it- the kid strung a cord from a vacuum around his neck and jumped off the third story stair well platform, but the cord was so long that it didn’t work to hang himself and rather he smashed all his bones, landing on the bottom floor. The TI emphasized that he yelled at him for not being able to successfully kill himself lmfaooo
Hahaha you guys had vacuums! You AF guys are a riot!
I knew hashimoto once he got out great guy worked with me at San onofre
Why their children are nothing, because of me.
His teen stories are fucking lame 😂
This channel absolutely sucks, I still remember the fake vets he posted before
So you come onto a channel you don’t like just to comment that? Lol 🤦🏿♂️
I'm brand new to this channel, but I can assure you Austin is as real as they come. And if this channel got scammed once or twice in the past by guys that lied about or over embellished their service, that shouldn't negate all of the legit vets they've had (and will continue to have on). I'm sure the owner of this channel learned from that experience (if it even happened)
@@YeseniaV92 I really like this channel. Still watch it all the time. At the same time, is it really that hard to check if someone is a veteran? Fact, it isn't. Simple FOIA request. That's irresponsible as hell.
I like the channel and think he’s had some good guys on here but yeah some of the stories are bullshit.
This Channel is for Vets by Vets Brother. Kick rocks
