I’m literally at the airport right now shipping
move fast and be loud!
Good luck. Lifes gonna suck for a bit, but youll make it.....u have to.
Desd ass?
Lol😂
I recommend going to sleep. Your not gonna get much for the next few days.
The “EGA ceremony” you saw was actually family day, the EGA ceremony after the crucible is still held at the Iwo Jima monument
Not when I graduated
I went in 06, we didn’t do the ega ceremony after the crucible, our 2nd month was all the field training, we had our ega ceremony on family day. From what I’ve heard they have been going back and forward with the ega ceremony
mine was this way too.. i graduated June 2019
Same for me, graduated 2004.
Same for me graduated 2019
The crucible is no joke in Camp Pendleton those hills slay your body
That zombie walk will forever haunt me 😂😂
The Crucible was a joke compared to MCT. When I finally got to radio school in 29 Palms, all the Parris Island Marines loved to brag about their run times! They can't run for shit.
Was Mount MFer still a thing? They outlawed that soon after my term in 2000. We all watched a dude pass out and get the silver bullet.
Reminds me of the stairway to heaven at ft benning
@TheOne111 Pendleton isn't nice. Hot as hell during the day and frost at night. In the squad bay it's not bad, but in the hills, it's miserable.
Not all “Hollywood Marines” go to Padres baseball games. My series didn’t do that.
neither did mine
Neither did mine
Mine did, basically all you do is sit around for 20 minutes for the Pledge of Allegiance/Anthem, you get recorded when doing so. Then you’re there for an hour and half eating junk food, restricted to a certain area ( to avoid talking to SD natives and such ), and you end up leaving before the game ends. You get back to your squad bay hours later, and just field day and take massive dumps due to eating hotdogs or burgers. Thats what it was like for me when I went through. Can’t say the same for the other Marines who we’re lucky enough to go to a game. SF
@@danielmcclain107 Baseball games do happen on the west coast. 2019
This must be some digital cammie era BS. Is this a post graduation thing that we’re talking about?
OOOOOH man did I laugh watching this! Love your commentary with this. I’m a mother to 3 Marine’s, 1 being my daughter [who out ranks her brothers lol]. Prepping for BC was key to all of them making it through. They were fortunate enough to have a recruiter who did a great job getting them ready. Good job giving this MoM a giggle this morning.
The ones that disliked this video either failed meps or failed boot camp 😂
I did crack for 2 years and when the doctor ask me if I did it I laugh and said yeah.
I ship out November 9th and just finish my IST, sometimes a sense of humor goes a long way
We had a good laugh

Went through this back in 2003. A lot has changed on the Island since then. Love it Marine Corps forever!!!

18:20.. this is family day. They still do the EGA ceremony directly after the crucible. The next clip is graduation.
The Crucibal and EGA ceremony is about 14 days before family day.
My grandpa was ARVN Ranger and his uncle was ARVN Marine for 20 years.I appreciate them a lot cause i wouldn’t be where i am now. Im 🇻🇳 🇲🇽 🇺🇸
Like ur video bro 👍🏿 👍🏿 👍🏿
My family was with the ARVN 7th infantry division let’s get it brother
I went through MCRD San Diego in '96, pre-crucible. In fact, I was in the last class, before the crucible started. Our version of the crucible was just daily life with DIs, who were all on their final platoon, and hated us. I and five other recruits got treated to the sand box, in our blues, immediately after family day had ended. "And don't you dare get those uniforms filthy! You still belong to me, unless I allow you to live long enough to graduate tomorrow!"
There were no baseball games for us. There were rumors that we were going to be attending a game on July 4th, but we were run to the nearest sand box and given "extra special PT" instead. Later that day, we played squad bay games, as usual. Then several of us were run around to different barracks buildings, and were left in another platoon's squad bay, so a fresh set of DIs could thrash us. The worst part was, as "trespassers", that platoon of fresh recruits decided how much punishment their DIs gave us. I guess they didn't realize that they were getting a glimpse of their own futures. The only reason I remember that day so clearly, is because I received a special nighttime PT session, for getting caught glancing out the porthole, at the fireworks display at the baseball stadium, while I was on fire watch.
There was no such thing as an EGA ceremony either. We didn't put our EGA on any of our uniforms, until the night before graduation. There was no ceremony. It was just another normal evening of straightening out our shit, polishing our boots, and ironing our uniforms. The only difference was that we were adding our EGA to our uniforms that night as well.
We shot iron sights at 500 yards. Do they even teach proper sight picture these days? These kids probably think the front sight post is a rifle hanger for their booger hooks.
Right!!! I'm a female Marine and was at Parris Island in '93. As someone who qualified expert 4 year's in a row (including boot camp) I don't have the words to express how pissed off I was to see these recruit's snapping in with a sight on their rifle!! WTF!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 IMO not all progress is GOOD progress! What happens if you're in a combat situation and your rifle sight gets busted? What then? Just point the thing the direction you want to fire, close your eyes and hope for the best? Without knowing how to fire using proper sight alignment on it's own that's pretty much what you're doing! 🤞🤞🤞
@@ruvoodoo4862 Having been through boot a little over five years ago, the PMI's explain extensively what proper sight alignment and sight picture is and have recruits recite the definition and practically apply it through their ACOG. Yes, an ACOG can break but by god they are rugged as fuck and I have yet to see one get destroyed or rendered unusable (Even witnessed a rifle drop off a balcony and plummet 15-20 feet and the ACOG (TA-31) was still okay. And yes, the Marine who dropped the rifle pushed for quite some time)
Although training with irons has its place, training recruits now on the optic(s) they are likely to use in the field environment post boot & for those going into the 03xx is a much better way to spend their marksmanship time than taking off the optics and doing proper sight picture & alignment with just irons. Realistically and from what I have observed as a CMC is that if Marines have a fundamental understanding of proper sight picture and alignment WITH their ACOG's, they can properly identify how to do so with iron-sights without physically having to take off their optic and replicate it. Thats the power of imagery and understanding the definition across the full spectrum. Also consider that removing the optic means that when they put it back on they will now have to collimate & BZO their optic AGAIN. Which as you know the Marine Corps does not give us the luxury of time on a range.
Training environments like boot camp & even out in the fleet with Table 1 afford the Marine plenty of time for proper sight picture and alignment when truth be told in a high stress scenario you may not always have that luxury of perfect sight alignment and sight picture. They are absolutely critical fundamentals but are not the end-all-be-all of marksmanship nor are they the only ways in which a Marine's combat effectiveness should be measured in regard to marksmanship.
The range is changing now. As of fiscal year 2022 October they’re making it more combat oriented. Apparently it’s a good bit harder to get expert. Like different positions and supported fire.
My son just graduated, PFC, and started with 2 weeks of quarantine ,then 13 weeks of bootcamp. No family day or graduation with an audience. Had to wear masks even during PT. No coming home ,just straight on to continue training somewhere else.
Same i graduated 2 months ago havent been home since

This is awesome to see. My son did it last year at Paris Island. He loved it. Said the Crucible was more fun than hard. Yes, physically tough but not bad. LOL Y'all are the best. Love our Marines. Semper Fi.
Its getting Cornier By the Year Everyone gets a participation Trophy happened from the Early 80s
I went to padres game. It was one day after RFTD in 3rd Phase and we sat at attention until the Padres scored, then all we were allowed to do was raise our hands up and yell ooh rah. That was it. No snacks either. So it was a structured break from training and if I remember we got to go go because we took series final drill.
What year was this?!
I did rappelling in Fire school after being on the job 20 or so years, had done dive rescue. I loved it we had great instructors we went of 60 ft building ya gotta try it all 1 time. Lol I ain’t jumping out no plane that ain’t crashing . Semper fi 🇺🇸 Proud Parent ..Raiders country vmgr 352

@@DOC-Jake- You too man👊🇺🇸
Thanks for your service
Ha! My company went to a baseball game, it all depends on the schedule of the Padres home games synching with the class that's in graduation week. Let's be clear though, we were there for a few innings; long enough to sing the Marines Hymn horribly. We were allowed to eat candy and nachos from the concession; however, upon return to the squad bay, the worst thrash session of the entire boot camp awaited us until everyone puked up their baseball chow. All in all, definitely not worth it.
Haha, worth it thought right?
At 18:30 that isn’t the EGA ceremony, it’s family day, the ega ceremony is a few days prior, family day is just a Moto run then liberty
It depends on when you graduated. We didnt get our Eagle Globe and Anchor until the day before graduation (Dec 2002), which I think was actually family day if I remember correctly. We felt so ripped off. Made it to the top of the Reaper they played Lee Greenwood, and stepped off back to Edson Range. Warriors breakfast wasnt even till we got back to the squad bay. The corps does whatever they want when its convenient for them sometimes at the expense of Marines. Mission completion is more important than morale. EMBRACE THE SUCK..YUT!
@@corneliusbartholemew6725 we got our EGA right after the crucible in 07 then the day before graduation we did the moto run and then graduated the next day
Drill Instructor life sucks at times but damn is it worth it 🗣 love what I do 🙌🏻
That wasn’t the EGA ceremony at the end. EGA ceremony is still at the Iwo Jima memorial right after the crucible ruck. That was family day at the end. Day before graduation the Marines are given liberty to hang out with family on Parris Island for a few hours.
I didn’t prep a bit and yes it was miserable but then I also quit all my drugs cold turkey by going to basic training. It sucked so bad but it was necessary.
Jesus christ.
I hope you pulled your shit together and are doing better now, considering this was commented 5 months ago.
@@grxy5924 i went through basic in 2002. My life is waaaayyyy better.
@@loganknox2452 Glad to hear that brother. ⚒
1995- 3rd battalion plt 3001 lima co san diego....no baseball games here. And the crucible was around in 95 ( but only at parris island). San Diego had the marine march: 3 miles (boots/uses w/ Kevlar and flak vest) w/ rifle @ port arms, max pull-ups, obstacle course, then finish with bayonet assault course. Graduation wasn't in dress blues either. Only guides graduated in their blues.
Oh an impromptu cardio session when I went through 1979 it was called a trip to the rose garden lol
West coast Marine here 01'-09'...never went to a baseball game. Where was I when this happened?? I live on the west coast and I have never heard this in the 8 years I was in or until now that i am out...this is the first time i hear of this. Parris Island has the weather and insects. We have the hills when we go up to Pendleton.... Just gets you ready for all the humps in S.O.I. and in the fleet. I remember going back to the MOUT town in the fleet at the base of the Reaper, it just looked like a small hill..we were even doing P.T. going up and down the hill every morning while we were there...but damn in boot camp ,that thing looked like Mt. Everest. Also, got my EGA on the parade deck during graduation and not during the crucible- 1/1" First of the First" Semper Fi!
LOVE reflection of Old Glory next to Josh! Your contributions to our continued FREEDOM will be remembered always Devil Dogs😉
That wasn’t the EGA ceremony. We got our EGA right after the road march by the monument, no families. All the families are in the stands in that auditorium only if graduation ceremony is indoors. And that was our last day at the island.
M.C.R.D. San Diego Platoon 225, Apr 12, 1965. 13 weeks. Regimental Honor Platoon. SSgt Klunk, Sgt Brown, Cpl Patty. Whole lotta ‘fun’.
Great video nick keep it up.
Excited to see you break down BRC from surviving the cut
Damn ... I missed the work'n party ... don't freak'n tell Gunny!
Bootcamp has changed $hit ton since '81 when I went through, IMHO, today I think recruits are much better trained. IE, 2nd phase, 1 week of working party, 2 weeks at Edison Range for rifle qual, then 1 full week at ITR. That 1 week was barely enough to scratch the surface. I remember when the Corps was talking about "creating" (ya that far back) MCT after bootcamp, we were jokingly calling MCT 4th phase. However, that made complete sense, that 1 week at ITR was a joke compared to the 4 (or so) weeks at MCT. I also remember when there were talks about MCMAP and the Crucible, Jarheads from all over the place were trying to volunteer to test run it. YUT!
Best way to get out a work detail is be right in the middle of one....Plt235 1966
I was a Hollywood Marine in 1990, and we did go to a Padres game. Fuck, I wish we wouldn't have. They wore our asses out afterwards for enjoying ourselves. Great idea Marines. :) I showed up in great shape, but nothing can prepare you for the fuck fuck games. Had a good time, and can sit back and laugh at some of the goofy things the DI's invented for us to do. Great times!
Always hated being in the classroom right after P.T., many bends and thrust were done afterwards. 3081 1989
Just FYI, i never attended any sporting event while at MCRD San Diego! Semper Fi
Yes the baseball game in mcrd San Diego is true...
I went to Benning in '97 and it's nuts how much it's changed.
Also the Boom course is awesome I would do that again any day. And the assault course
we did the movement corse at night also, (graduated may 2020), and we did our ega filthy aswell, and our family couldn't come to graduation
@Cameron Yinger have a solid contract
Lol get fucked boot, quit crying, hazing time is coming
Nothing like when I went for sure
Yeah back in 2014 we still got the EGA right after the crucible. Family day isn't even until like a week after so that was the day before graduation in this video.
Do a reaction to Marine OCS! I'm shipping to OCS in January
🎉I went through Boot Camp at MCRD San Diego in 1967. I knew it was going to physically tough - real tough, so I prepared. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy I did, however no matter how tough we may have been told it was going to be before we joined by recent Boot Camp graduates we met we could not begin to comprehend how really tough it was going to be physically and emotionally (emotionally as in fear and terror). I hardly have the words to describe how hard it was. It wasn’t just physical exercises. If I simply said it was physical torture, that would not describe it either.
Let me just say that it was terrifying physical torture. You see in Boot Camp we didn’t do physical exercises at a normal speed, nor did you just do them until you were exhausted and could do no more. All exercises were done in unison with 70 other Boots at top speeds, wearing combat uniform, with heavy combat boots (no sissy PT uniforms for us), and they went on until the DI gave the word to halt.
Everyone has their physical breaking point - a point at which your muscles have completely given out, and you cannot do one more repetition, or a point at which you are hyperventilating so badly that you no longer have the breath to continue. When this happens in normal life, even when a member of a football team, you quit, but not in Marine Corps Boot Camp in the 1960’s and for 150 years prior to that. In our Boot Camp, naked fear overcame your pain, producing enough adrenaline to do one more repetition of the exercise, and then another., and then another until you passed out. Quitting was not an option.
What do I mean by “Quitting wasn’t an option”, or “fear”? What if you knew that if you quit or merely fell behind the rest of the platoon while doing an an exercise so strenuous that you simply could not keep up with the others, like squat thrusts for instance (I remind you, always at high speed), you would be kicked in the head or face with a running combat boot, most likely breaking your nose? What if you knew this because you saw it happen right in front of you eyes in your own platoon?
OK, let’s say that you are the kind of guy that the thought of having your nose broken by a violent kick in the face by a heavy combat boot would arouse no fear in you. . . What if you also knew that if you were injured during Boot Camp, you would be dropped from your platoon, and sent back to a new platoon which was weeks farther behind in training than your present platoon, thus lengthening your time in the hell of Boot Camp, by weeks? What if you also knew that it was impossible to quit Boot Camp, or the Marine Corps - That even if it took you four years, you were going to stay and suffer in Boot Camp until you successfully completed every day, and exam, physical, and mental.
(I forgot to mention that all of our exercises were executed in a sand pit, of which there were many, surrounded by concrete, which was only large enough to hold all of our platoon if we were standing at attention in it with all parts of our bodies touching the bodies of those in front, to the sides, and the back of us. This meant there was not enough room in the pit to lower yourself down into push up position, or preform a squat thrust without doing it partially on top of each other, since all 70 of us had to be fully inside the pit. Can you imagine performing squad thrusts at top speed where one violently, repeatedly and rapidly falls to the squat position, then violently kicks this feet out behind himself either stomping the fingers of the man behind him, or kicking him in the face, again and again for thirty of forty minutes, then switching to jumping jacks, where each time you rapidly jump kicking your combat boots to both sides you stomp upon the feet of the men to either side of you, or they stomp upon your feet, then when you rapidly throw your arms to both sides you punch the men to your left and right or vise versa. Naturally afterwords, our hands and faces would be cut and and bruised, but those were the least of our worries).
I don’t know how you would react to this, but I can tell you that the mere thought of these prospects (having your nose violent broken, being sent back to start over again with another platoon, or staying in Boot Camp for years ), terrified us, and those of us that prayed did so every day, praying that God would enable us to never be unable to keep up the pace of the rest of the platoon no matter how impossible it was.
Did we cry during this physical pain and suffering? I certainly did, but in the midst of so much shouting, and buckets of sweat, pouring down our faces no one ever knew.
That was the Marine Corps Boot Camp we knew in 1967, and backward in time at least to WW1. . .
Best stuff I have read since I learned how to read!

I started preparing 6 months in advance for Army basic. I was in the top 10 in my company for PT score after the first diag test. But when it came for the first record PT test during red phase there was a drill from a different company that graded me and she mixed up the laps with me an some other person and It got recorded that I ran a 19 minute two mile and she ran a 14. I got kicked out of the company and sent to fat camp. Where I took a PT test the second day I was there and scored above 80 on all events, good enough to go to airborne school. The senior drill at fat camp asked me why I got kicked out for and when I told him he just said "yep sounds about right". I was in and out of fat camp in less than a week.
I graduated January 2020 and we got our EGA ceremony from the crucible, when you see the families, that is known as family day, the day before graduation 2 weeks later
Another tougher training for me was cold weather training in northern Cal. Standing guard 2:00 in the morning 6’ of snow traveling everywhere by snowshoe then add on that shit pain and trying to get your gear off to drop yer deuce WTF. Those are the little things that I hated. Lol
Also the guy at 19:09 was my heavy, bad mother fucker from artillery with a combat action along with many other ribbons, real man's man. God Bless Drill Instructor Sgt. Pauly, probably the scariest man I've ever met when he gets angry lol.
When I went to bootcamp at MCRD in 2010 we went to a baseball game. HAHA, It was great. We were booger platoon too.
Thats family day, family day is the day before graduation now. Ega ceremony is at daybreak at the iwo Jima monument with the entire company and drill instructors. Being there with covid tho I didnt get family day or graduation. I went straight to MCT and now im at Twentynine Palms in California for MOS school. Havent been home or seen family since June.
Do you still recommend joining the military despite the changes they're making? For example the Army getting rid of the 'Shark Attack' and the Marines integrating training and the lowered standards?
Bootcamp is temporary it’s not the military
@Oh yeah yeah Actually they do because if the bootcamp isn't mentally or physically as hard I may not be prepared enough for future hardships like war or adversity after getting out of the military.
@@joshuathornhill8168 I think it's pretty important since it's supposed to give you that initial shock; that way if you even make it through you'll be already used to following orders, etc. Seems logical to me. Why not get a taste of it and find out if it's for you before you get in?
They don't fill the seats at the baseball games with recruits, only on marine week will they allow newly graduated marines to do that
Went to boot camp in San Diego in 1975. No baseball games no females in our area. Lot's of hands on by the DI's. I was not prepared. Went to take the test,physical,oath and was in boot camp the same day! I had about two hours to get prepared. Not a smart move!
Always Faithful - Always Forward!! SEMPER FI
Thanks guys 👦
I did the crucible in 98 and I think that was its first year. Maybe "97" but it was Gen Crulack that made it part of the Corps. He was the Commandant when I went in.
Went through boot camp 1964,been back twice,lot of changes.
Hah I’m a Covid marine so I didn’t have a family day or a legit graduation ceremony with fam present. Still wouldn’t have done anything different RAH!
Haha, thats a thing now?
Same. I graduated 8/14. Covid Marine!
@@NickKoumalatsos82 Yeah also there's a 2 week quarantine apparently so its 15 weeks now
I was there for 6 months due to injury and never once did we go to a ball game. I finally came to realize it was just scuttlebutt to mind fuck us.
I went to MCRD San Diego and we never went to a baseball game. If it ever did happen it was a one off.
Hopefully, I will be on site the first week in February. My son leaves for quarantine in a couple weeks and I am hoping that they will be opening graduations back up for families.
You still get your EGA right after the Crucible by the Monument that was family day when they were cleaned up and there families were in the stands. Family day is day before graduation
I graduated in 18 and in San Diego our cultivating event is up what we call the Reaper its a pretty easy hill now after being an 0311 and we didn't have people around for our EGA ceremony once you make it to the top the sun is just rising they made you sing the hymn and we were handed our EGA. Btw about to use your raider prep and get my ass to A&S wish me luck
Yea...Boot camp over 40 years ago we had to take the mask off inside and start singing the Marine Corps Hymn on the way out.

The Vietnam war there were plenty of veterans and active-duty combat ready so 1975 to 2000, Who are only a few scrimmages yes scrimmages the Marine Corps had first and second same box as they called it over in the Middle East. I myself did not see any come back I came in right after the Vietnam war just search for my back in 1993. Only place I went was Liberia Africa in 1990. Pride and Joy is the Marine Corps expeditionary medal. Semper Fidelis.
I was trained by WW II, Korea and Vietnam veterans. I was in the air wing majority of my time with maintenance control with helicopters CH46’s, sometimes CH53’s, Huey’s and Cobras. And one man flu they were harriers so I got a taste of maintenance control too.
I was a PFC picked Staff Sergeant in less than seven years, I was only one promoted to Gunnery Sergeant just over 12 years in one week. I never had a B Billet but it was good at maintenance control. But I got fired from maintenance Control, because my remaining ulcer was a turd bucket yes I said a turd bucket. Normal discharge
USMC Raider reacts to Army Rangers maybe 🤔
In 1979, there was no such thing as Family Day or an EGA ceremony. We got our EGAs on the morning of our final Alpha Inspection- maybe 3-4 days before graduation. Many things have changed. We were allowed a couple cigarettes every day. No one ran in sneakers without a chit, only boots. We wore Chrome domes. John Wayne passed away while I was at PI and we marched to the theatre and watched The Sands of Iwo Jima. Back then we still had C Rations that came with a small can opener called a John Wayne. After the movie, back at the squadbay we were instructed to no longer refer to the can opener as a John Wayne, from that day forward we were to call it a Clint Eastwood. Here it is 2020 and I still look at my Boot Camp book 15-20 times a year. Retired a CWO3 (mos 2110) in 1999.
What do you guys think about the closing of Parris Island and San Diego to build a new facility to better suit co-ed barracks and training?
Wow I was old school. 00 Woodlands, iron sights, jungle boots. No CFTs, MCMAP was just being planned. We OIF, OEF Vets poke fun but we have been at war from day one. It's just the Corps we enlisted into. I remember when I checked in to Okinawa I had more ribbons than all my SNCO's not all Marines want to deploy
Inaccuracies:
MCRD San Diego baseball games are experienced by a VERY SMALL group of recruits.
The crucible was not new when Nick attended boot camp. I started boot camp in April of 1998 and the crucible wasn’t new. It was distantly new.
That wasn’t the EGA ceremony. That was family day.
*In all fairness, it’s easy to get some of that wrong when you were as busy as Nick was.
In 9th grade and plan on joining the Marines Corps in 2024 or the summer of 2023. My dream is to become a marine raider! I won’t give up! Currently in the ROTC program to at least be a little prepared.
Learn to swim. And study. Learn everything
Went through in 2012. We did that crucible course at night with the Illum rounds
I went throu in 2017….EGA ceremony is still just us I believe…that part of the clip was after the ceremony then we get washed up and prep to for family day
That looks like a blast.
Shit when I went in all I know is that I wanted to be a Jarhead..and I did it..some recruits had people help them..I came from the Barrio nobody helped me tge fuck out..but I did it 💯💯🇺🇲🇺🇲
EGA ceremony and family day are different. Family day is the day prior to graduation
My contact was terminated because of Covid I was supposed to ship March 30th day before I got a call telling me no new recruits were being shipped 3 months later I got a call that I had to redo all my paperwork because Covid
Ironically, the hottest chicks are in the usmc and air force.
Found my motivation
exactly, I've been told wooks are the most attractive out of any branch
@@j.clementec.m.1558 I agree. There is a wook here at JBSA who is a complete smoke show.
Was "close" friends with Army medic women. Hooootttty.
But in general I agree
No dude good lord those Navy girls are something else jeez.
All of you who are present branch of the Navy Army Aviation are volunteers in my country at 18 it is mandatory I went when it was my time I finished it and I am proud to have done my military service
Thank you
You may forget a lot that happened during your time in the service but everyone remembers that 1st day! I know I do!
Lamer
Damn! They didn't let us go to baseball games back when I was at MCRD San Diego. I joined in the wrong decade.
We had to shoot irons at 5 without an acog
Hey Nick infantry training for me was harder than boot. I was series high shooter so did not get fucked with too much but infantry training in SoCal was a bitch we ran everywhere full pack. I did get my ass beat a few times in boor I hit a DI in the face with a swab by mistake as he came through the hatch in the head right after hand to hand trining I was pretending the swab was a bayonet and i heard footsteps running toward the door as I was swabbing the head and when the door opened I thought it was going to be another private ended up being a DI in my series. Big mistake had all 3 DI’s slapping me around so I learned a good lesson. I went through boot back in 76 old drab green uni.
I’ve been in for about 2 years now and the first DI in the yellow shirt was there at Paris island when I was there. 2nd battalion. And the original video came out while I was at mos school so I’m assuming the end of 2019 or beginning of 2020 is when the video was released.
Lol I went to boot camp in SD and no one in our company went to no baseball game
Lol, P.I.G's always trying to throw shade at MCRDSD. Once they rotated to Pendleton, and actually had to kev ruck up some real hills...they fell out damn quick. Also, I never went to any baseball games, I heard some did...after graduation with their families.
yup. they also usually ran slow and couldn't shoot compared to MCRD
I’ve been in a year now and the ega ceremony is still a private thing
Hope everything is turning around for you Nick.
One day at a time and we will come out on top.
Do more of these !
I believe that the Army boot camp has at least of 1/3 of their Drill Sergeants forced into the position. I can only imagine what that does for the training.
Business insider covered the border patrol academy, you guys should review that 🤘🏽💚💚
In 1980 there was no such thing as going to a baseball game, it was basic training day in and day out period to become a U.S. Marine.
I wasn’t in bad shape but I also wasn’t in the best shape going into boot camp and I adjusted pretty quick. There were some that were out of shape and they struggled but they made it.
Ok, when I went through bootcamp in 2006, we never went to a baseball game ever. Of course that's from September 5th to December 6th.
14:27 makes mice out of men good ole H20
He was callin the Army, help me I wanna go to Ft. Jackson got on the wrong bus....🤦♂️
