What It Takes To Survive The Marines' 54-Hour Final Test | Boot Camp | Business Insider

- Before they officially become United States Marines, all recruits must endure "The Crucible," an event that tests them physically and psychologically for 54 straight hours with minimal sleep and food. Chief video correspondent Graham Flanagan spent four days at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in Parris Island, South Carolina, embedded with the gender-integrated Hotel Company during its Crucible event.
Among the recruits were a brother and sister both experiencing the event together. Recruits hike for miles in the cold darkness wearing about 50 pounds of gear, face off in hand-to-hand combat inside the "Octagon," experience intense combat scenarios, and work together to overcome obstacles that test their bodies and minds. The event culminates with the emotional Eagle, Globe, and Anchor Ceremony, where the recruits receive a pendant that symbolizes their official transformation into United States Marines.

literally all i heard through my crucible haha
My uncle was in the Vietnam war, his job was to run out open to check for enemies, he even suffered a grenade explosion during his sleep, and yet through all that he survived and I have massive respect for him. His story is one of my inspirations to join infantry
Which branch did you choose to join?
@@DarkZerol None, He/She is like 13, Look at their videos.
To answer the title, "What It Takes To Survive The Marines' 54-hour Final Test" is to keep remembering there is an end, you gotta make it through, there is an end, you gotta make it through. Even climbing Mount Everest is just one foot in front of the other a bunch of times until you're at the top (oversimplified, but you get the idea). As long as I could just keep putting one foot in front of the other, and accept that this will be physically and mentally uncomfortable, I will get through it and it will be over eventually.
This thought has been with me ever since. I went in 2005 and now I am a teacher and disabled veteran. On my hardest days, I still tell myself that each day has its end, I can get through it, just keep marching forward.

I remember my parris island drill instructor had a newborn he didnt get to see, so he was very angry and would literally have aneurysms. He made me walk around the table with my food for 3 days until everyone was done so I couldn't eat and would regularly sucker punch me in the gut if i made eye contact or did anything out of line.
After 3 days I fell in the chow hall and started crying, completely broken. It was horrible and I finally got to eat but that's what it took to get the last of the child out of me and I really respect these guys for giving up so many other parts of their lives to train warriors. It's really selfless. I'd like to think they helped me survive afghan.
Thank you for your service solider.

The hardest part about the crucible for me was the log drills. Absolutely broke me because I was used to carrying my own weight instead of something heavy. My DI was brutal with it too, we had to do 25 reps and every single mistake he caught would bring us back to 0 and sometimes -10.

I almost wish we had something similar in basic training. Battle stations was definitely an experience, but I would’ve loved to see what the field was like
Being in the military really makes you appreciative and grateful for everything. Just like at the end with finally getting good food after 12 weeks. So many people are starving in this world by just being human and existing. Many people in this world have nothing. Once you experience that first hand, you start to be more understanding and compassionate.
And that's the good side of the military.Hope its more often than the brutal and racist side.We really need it.
Me: I could do that
Also me: lying in bed at 1pm fat as hell
From what I'm heard from people who served, Boot Camp is more of a mental thing than physical. I would assume that the hardest part is being deprived of sleep over anything else.
@@xero4158 you actually get 8 hrs of sleep a night at boot camp aside from fire watch, bwt, and the crucible

Throw in a lot of physical training and 4 hours feels like 30 minutes.

My Dad’s a marine, and the thing he taught me is that no one is going to hand you things on a silver platter unless you’ve earned everything on it. I want to make him proud and follow his path and his fathers path before him.

it's been so long
I went through boot camp in 2008, and back then we only got 3 MRE's for the 3 days of the Crucible. It's great to see younger men and women making it through with the same kind of motivation we had back then.
For the female recruits, not only did we get little in the way of food, but we also had to give our Drill Instructors all the "candy" stuff that was in an MRE. Some of the MREs had M&M's or Skittles, and we had to give that to the Drill Instructors because "it'll make you fat, and fatties don't graduate boot camp." They pulled this a lot on us, I don't know if they were supposed to but they did.
We only got 3 MREs in 2019. That was in San Diego so could be different than PI
WE HAD 2 MRE'S BACK IN 2002...
I've decided recently that I want to be a Marine. The idea has played around in my head for years but I was always talked out of it by my family because I had a brain. It's a huge misconception that because you're "smart" you're better than the military. THAT IS THE BIGGEST LIE I'VE BEEN TOLD. I'm 24, I wasted the last 12 years of my life playing video games, going to school and missing out on crucial life experiences that the military WILL provide to anyone who wants to join. I'm in the process of enlisting and expect to be heading to boot camp on Oct. 3. I know it will be tough but I look forward to the challenge, I'm tired of being soft and underdeveloped mentally. I will give everything it takes to become a Marine.

It takes guts. Not everyone makes it all the way through. Most do, since you've already been doing these things individually in your 11 weeks prior to the crucible. But it takes all of your effort, all the time. You'll be exhausted within your first few hours of the crucible. But you'll have 50 more to go.

But after a while it tends to settle into a “it’s all of us, together” mentality. A one of unconditional support. In that one regard you lose tour individuality and become a a symbiotic colony of people who live, breath, train, and work together. It’s one of the most unifying things.
@S Hendriks yes it is you conspiracy theorist
@S Hendriks young children they are literally close to twenty years old already also invading other countries you freakin live in a cave the us military is literally leaving those countries already and all troops will leave by September 11 this year.also your countries troops are also fighting in wars for your information cause British French and German troops are all engaged in war Italian and polish too idk what country you from but as you can see these west European country you mentioned are all in war also brainwashed puppets for your notice us marines are one of the best trained troops in the whole wall including forces such as delta force navy seals and green berets these forces are way better than your so called troops with own mindset and American troops are not like your countries troops crying like a baby with some training yeah brainwashed puppets are at least way superior soldiers than your countries cry babies
@S Hendriks I'm starting to feel like you're the brainwashed one.
@S Hendriks u need to direct your talking point to the rich politicians who put these kids in those foreign wars, when the nail is driven in ,is it the hammer's fault? or is the arm swinging the hammer at fault?
@@weasdf8718 Oh shut up. I'm conservative and right wing, but it's basic logic that it is indeed brainwashing. That lack of individuality in war is what psychologically eases them into being comfortable with killing. It's of no doubt in my mind, that most soldiers are now in hell. Burning forever
I went through all that, and it sucked! I was the one that carried my team for the crucible. And on the IED sweep, someone called freeze as I was still looking around for what could possibly be an IED. One of my DIs caught me still moving because I didn’t see the “freeze” and so he ran up to me and said, “you’re dead! Now carry him”. Which made the crucible suck for me, but on the parade deck (Pete Ross) that same DI came up to me and gave me my EGA and said something along the lines of “those tears you’re crying, is you realizing how much you pushed yourself to be a better you.” And so I still feel pride from what he told me and plan to honor his name, even after the hell he put me through.
Incredible attributes towards the 2nd training recruits. they have surpassed many of what is normal. Family is always a factor.

I went to boot camp in October of 1997. The crucible was still a new thing and had been started by the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Krulak a few months before I got there. When my platoon went through it we were still on of the first groups to do it. Everyone was nervous about it and it seemed like an impossible task based on the rumors. At the time it was extremely hard, and after completion when we were at the ceremony where we received our Eagle, Globe, and Anchor pin and were finally referred to as Marines instead of recruits ( or much worse ) that was the proudest I had ever been up to that point in my life. However, I would go on to serve in the infantry as a 0331 machine gunner. Compared to the training and real world missions I did once I was in the actual fleet the Crucible seemed simple looking back.
One of the last duties I had as a troop before discharge was attending a focus group with the Commandant in the formation of the Crucible. Looking like the reformation of the old Basic Warrior Training is going well. You’re welcome.

"I barley tapped him"
Had a drill Sgt who only cared about marksmanship. “You’re not gonna have a push-up contest with hadji, it’s going to be a shooting contest!” He had more medals then most generals, not that it matters now but back then when I was still wet behind the ears, I looked up to that.
makes sense. You kill him or he kills you. Bad guy dosent care how many push ups you can do. However the physical training is also important. But bottom line. You have to shoot good. Very good. If not the rest dosent matter. Go marines.
You have to be able to get to the shooting position first. Takes strength to get there first and arrive with enough wind to precisely make the shot. Strength and endurance matter quite a bit. Not that marksmanship should be neglected, but it’s definitely not an end all.
I was a machine gunner in Afghanistan. Went into a building that had already been cleared to set up supporting overwatch only to find a sonofabitch laying in wait in the corner of the first room. It wasn’t my rifle or my marksmanship that killed him. It was the strength of my mitts and the heel of boot.
It wasn’t marksmanship that carried the casualties to the medical either. Strength was needed to cart all the ammo and ordinance for that marksmanship too. Strength is very important.
More medals then most generals?? Yeaaaa right 😂😂 there is no way. Go google a general and I can tell you a sargeant did not have a stack that big.

@@howndown3867 Ohh thanks for the clearup
No matter how much you see in the videos - nothing can really explain to people how hard it is until you go through it. And I am talking the ENTIRE boot camp experience. It is f'ing tough. Tougher mentally than physically. When I went through boot camp I saw guys that if you saw them on the streets you would NEVER want to eff with them - literally break down at times because of how tough it was.
A lot of respect for anyone that goes through 90 days of this shit. It is not easy at all.
As someone who feels this may be something I do in the future (still a teen) should I prepare somehow in any way and if so when?
@@chumpylumpy8072 yes, get as physically fit as you possible can. I mean REALLY fit. That will make it easier for you to get through the physical part.
The physical part is not easy, but it is the mental part that is the big difference. Learn all you can about the General Orders. Learn how to salute properly.
Learn as much as you can BEFORE you go in, it will make things easier. But in the end run it is going to be tough no matter how prepared you are.
Also, if you don't know how to swim - learn how to swim NOW. Really learn how to swim and be comfortable in the water.
Even though Marine Corps water survival in boot camp is NOT nearly as tough as it could be - learning to swim well will make that part a lot easier.
I saw numerous guys nearly drown. The swim coaches, at least when I was in, would let you struggle and struggle to the point you would think they were going to let you drown. That is not fun.
“you would NEVER mess with them in the streets” means nothing. They’re used to being their own boss. Now that THEYRE being bossed, it turns out that they’re pussies.
I know that's right and I have been through "BOOT CAMP" 5 times. Navy, Air Force, Army, Police academy and Special investigations academy. Now retired from both.
@@chumpylumpy8072 Absolutely, get in the best shape as possible. You will not pass otherwise
I love All of y'all guys and thank y'all for everything ❤️
Its awesome to see guys I went through this shit with become DI's. The one at 11:30 (Delacruz) stood right across from me on the line in Plt 2100 H Co. Back in 2014. And to say that he's a DI for the same company he got his balls busted in! Love to see it.
For people like the girl that wanted to go to medical school that wanted to look towards the military, please look into HPSP. Most typically join the Air Force, but kudos to her for joining the marines
i felt bad for her but at the same time i felt happy for her that she was improving herself as well as doing something that is so brilliant
the country should be proud to have her as a citizen
Is the air force easier?
@@gidd leaps and bounds easier, you can't even really compare the two, the marines is pretty widely considered as having the most difficult boot camp, while the air force is considered as having the easiest.

My son is at Parris Island and he is the first in our family so this video and the one on marine recruit training helped me not worry about him as much.
Respect to Marines your boot camp is the hardest. I am in the Army and our culminating final event of BCT, the forge, is 96 hours. On the first night we ruck out to the night fire range, shoot and get cleared off the range, then ruck to the first biovouc site. The next day is practicing tactical move and shoot movements on bunkers with paint rounds, flanking, react to fire. There's also medical training (tourniquets, bandages, nine line call in, etc.) Then another ruck to the next biovouc site. Then there's the night Infiltration course, another day of practical knowledge tests, and then the final 10 mile ruckmarch on the last night. I'd say over the 96 hours I probably got about 14 hours of sleep and we had one mre per day. To be fair the last afternoon we had to rest and stay in our patrol base at the final biovouc site, no sleeping of course but it was rest.
