You were on the bachelorette right? You represented the Marine Corps in a professional and mature manner. That other guy that was fighting with all the other guys on the show wasn't representing the Corps in its best interest. Great job and Semper Fi
Brother, I graduated 1968, and yes i lost many brothers in NAM, But my fond memories of all the ass beatings and profanity that was worse than that Hollywood full metal whatever couldn't even come close to what we went through in NAM, Times change, careers are ruined if we go back to the old hazing standards vintage 1968. SEMPER FI my brothers and sisters. 🇺🇸👍
Probably should also mention that there can and will be some drill instructors who do not care about their job at all, and despite this, do not get discouraged. Just because the drill instructor loses integrity, doesn't mean the recruit should. On top of this, learn how to swim prior. Marines who are looking to get far at the star lose all sense of leadership privileges if they are iron ducks. Other than these two the advice you gave covers a lot. I hope people appreciate it. -Semper Fi brother
Malice The fame Not in boot camp it's not... Boot camp is a check in the box with shit like swim qual - you can always re-test when you hit the fleet...
I agree with you there. I but my point was that if you are looking to get far at the start.. Etc guide or a squad leader. My point is basically that not knowing how to swim can be a reason why a drill instructor will not put you in that position, or even worse take you out of that position. But your right in that sense. All in all boot camp is all checks in the box.
Malice The fame When I was in boot camp, we didn't so swim qual until week 10 out of 13. The guide and squad leaders were already established for the remainder of boot camp at that point...
Ever since I was 8 years old, I've always wanted to be a United States Marine. This past November I spoke to my recruiter and am currently in the Delayed Entry Program. I leave in 90 days. This video has some awesome information. Great tips. Can't wait to be a fellow Marine. Semper Fi.
I leave for MCRD Parris Island in 16 days, and your video has definitely helped me out. I was so stressed and worried and I'm that guy who asks a lot of questions. But, following your advice, I will learn from their mistakes, not mine. Semper Fidelis and God bless.
I'm having trouble choosing between Marine Corps and Air Force, I feel like the Air Force appeals to me more yet I want a challenge that the Marines will certainly give.
videofreakmanic123 Air Force is for pussies, eh? Guess Marines never need air support then. Not in combat, not for transport and not for logistics. A Marine just pretends to be a bird and flies all by himself, using his arms.
This doesn't just apply for Marine recruits. I wish I had this knowledge when I went through Army BCT. Anyone looking into going into the military, take note of this video. This guy is spot on!
Went to Parris island 42 years ago. And i had no clue as to what i was getting myself into. Spent the next four years as a grunt (0311). Would i do it again? Ain't no fucking way! Four years was more than enough for me.
Finally decided this is what I want to do in life, no not from the video, but earlier this week. best Advice I've found yet. Thanks and ill keep it in thought.
Boot Camp really isnt difficult, if your fit, agile and know what your getting into. I knew from my older cousin what Marine training was like. Here's a tip. If you don't take shit from anybody, your fucked. Because, you have too in this situation lol. Have fun, your going to make awesome bros. Im deployed in the ugliest country. Kandahar, Afghanistan. Im Sgt. Mike Sims. You might know me.
The two biggest concepts that I did my best to apply when I went through basic were listen and learn. Listen to everything that your DI's teach you whether you understand it or not and learn as much as you can from them. However you lived your day to day life before you got to boot camp has zero applications once you are there. Your most important goal while in boot camp is to learn everything you need to know so that after you graduate you can go on to be the best Marine that you are capable of being.
+soflo23 is hazing really that big of a deal in the USMC? i really want to enlist, but im indian and im sure there's not too many indian people in the marines
***** lol im indian in ethnicity, but i was born in America. Im not really talking about Hazing in boot camp, im sure everybody gets their fair share of that. im talking about like if i make it to fleet.
I'll never forget feeling snake bit in MCRD... just little things like having my shower shoes stolen as a joke and my bunk mate as well so I gave him my shoe and got ITed rather then have everyone dump their locker... later other recruits got my shit back. They failed to register my pullups on the iPFT and I nearly failed because of it also failed to write down pass on my swim qualification even though I passed it with flying colors. There was the time we were washing our clothing outside in the wash basins and two guys were talking shit and I got blamed for it. This kind of shit happens to some recruits and the best way to deal with it is to just accept the blame and take the punishment. This will earn the respect of your fellow recruits even if it does make it impossible to ever attain a leadership position.
I'm turning 26 in a few months. Am I a bit too old to be joining the Marine Corps? I know as long as you're under 29 you're qualify to join, but I don't want to be an old shit bag around a bunch of 18/19 year old kids.
do as your told, be as loud as you can from the moment you get there, pay attention, and don't stand out. Also try not to be front post during fire watch ;)
I don't agree with the advice to leave your girlfriend. Writing my girlfriend worked for me throughout basic and we're even getting married during HBL. You should never have any questions at boot camp. If you don't know, your buddy will know. If he doesn't know, then they haven't fucking told you so don't ask stupid questions. Questions waste time and it's just a trap for drill sergeants to fuck with you. A lot of people think the Marines will only take fitness studs. The military will make you fit.The minimum standards for the initial strength test are as follows: - 2 Pull Ups - 35 Sit Ups (2 minutes) - 1.5 Mile Run - 13:30
AndrewDangerously It's allways good to make yourself fit before you join the Army. Trust me guys. Because I only had 1 week to prepare before I joined. Nothing worse than joining the army and running around like a cripple. btw, what happened to this channel?
My point wasn't that you don't need to train. My point is that Marines are just like any other branch, they will take you as long as you can meet very minimal fitness standards. Bare in mind, there's a lot more to getting into the service than just fitness.
Basic Combat Training; a lot of people call it "basic". There are a lot of people who lie about military service, but it's a bit goddamn ridiculous to accuse people based on absolutely nothing. What, do you want to see my fucking DD214?
Going to be enlisting in two months. Taking the time to get mentally and physically more prepared for my personal success. Thanks for the video and the advice man.
Why would you want to be a jerk in boot camp? Yeah, I get you're in it for yourself but you get no friends and just enemies. It's not even a necessary way to act. You can still be a nice, cool guy and still be successful. But after boot, we beat up the kids who treated us like crap. Don't think that just because you are in boot camp or training that you get to treat others like crap. I was successful in boot and I made friends. The guys that were above me who treated me and others like crap, ended up not geting the awards I got. So what was their purpose? Always remember, the people you crap on are people and they won't forget what you did to them.
I am not a military expert but I believe the marines go thru much more advance training. Do not get me wrong the Army goes thru training but the marines are the first to go usually when we have a conflict.
Depending on the type of mission, different elite units are first to deploy. This includes Army Special Forces, Army Delta, Army Rangers, Navy Seals, and Marine Recon.
im at my first duty station now in the AF. I wanted to be a marine before joining but that didnt permit. Honestly i feel like ive made a huge mistake every time i see a Marine video. I love the AF and love my job in it. But in the next 5 years if i decide to reenlist it will be under the USMC.
Hey. I'm a Muslim US legal resident who wants to join the Marine Corps, and my question is: If I join the Marines would everyone be ok with it? I mean I won't be discriminated or anything right? That's what I'm afraid of, I feel like I won't fit in
Yes. I'm a Muslim and had no problems. I was meritoriously promoted 3 times, Battalion Marine of the Year, NCO of the Quarter, Decorated Combat Veteran 2 tours in Iraq and one stint in the Horn of Africa...don't let a religion turn you away from being a Marine...no matter what religion you claim we are brothers in the Marine Corps...
Minus the typos... I didn't mention this was a great video. Remember their are hypocrites in all religions. I had an awesome career in the Corps and my Marines will attest to my loyalty in Combat Theater as well... Semper Fi

Im a 14 year old freshmen in sports. Im an A-B student. coaches and teachers say I have a good attitude. Im graduating in 2017. So i will be going to marines bootcamp at 17. Thanks for the advice
Here is a good tip from personal experience. Make sure that you really want to go through with it. Don't do it just to satisfy, and/or please your mom or dad. Otherwise, you'll end up regretting it. I got screwed over many times in the Marine Corps. Don't ever listen to anyone's persuasion except your own. My father told me that women like a man in uniform. That turned out to be an empty lie. Every time I wore the uniform out to a bar, or a restaurant; I have never received any type of attention from the women there. I didn't even get a look
Thanks for the video. My son just went to boot camp and this is week 7 and I have not heard from him. Your video is very reassuring. LOL…he had the same attitude about the "girlfriend".
Canadian infantry 20 years boot camp 1988 they physically assaulted us and I was fine with that made us hard as medal at the end.I agree with your philosophy I went with no baggage, same as you completely focused. Was rewarded top candidate, physically fitness award . You are a credit and superiors will notice. One day they came and wanted to make me a officer big regreat I did not. Stayed in the ranks. Loved every minute of it now 48 and I'm hurting physically you will to but would do it all over again.
Newkidvid if you still monitor your channel message me! Looking for some advice! Have a few friends that are/went through bootcamp and I'm leaving soon myself i have some good questions.
Sir, you need medical help! I think the goal of the drill instructor is to make you feel like a prisoner of war. The drill instructors I had told what they couldn't do, and they chose to disobey their orders. Marine instructors are not allowed to hit or curse recruits, they did it anyway. Marine bootcamp is a transition period from being a civilian to military. You spend a lot of your day marching. That is a waste of time when they could do a better job of training Marines that might be sent into combat. Marines have a nickname, "Devildogs." As we bordered the bus after graduation the drill instructor said and I quote, "if you hate us when you leave here, we did our job." My thought was,"I hope you get hit by a car on the way home."
***** hope your still checking your channel. Im joining end of summer 2016. Looking for some pointers of how to prepare myself what type of fitness should i focus on or what i could be researching to prepare myself.
Hey bro. Loved the video. I'm enlisting after I graduate high school next year. And I'm pretty stressed. I mean being a marine has been my dream since I was 10. What's life like In the marines Where will it take me. Is it fun and adventurous. Or am I gonna be miserable. I guess Id just like to know what life is as a marine
I am considering joining the Marine Corps. All of my friends tell me nothing but great things about boot, but I am still a little afraid of the unknown. Anyway to ease the nerves and move forward with joining?
If your overweight and have to diet to get into the marines join another branch because what will happen is you will lose the weight in boot camp cause of the workout and diet they will put you on. Then when you are done with all your training and get to your new duty station and you don't diet and exercise because you want to relax when you get off work or have a life etc. and become overweight. Your command will make you get up everyday for the next 4 years at 5 am to PT while everyone else is sleeping. It will be hard. They have high standards and if they think you don't look right in your uniform your going to PT. Also same goes for if you fail the PT test. I did not have this problem but a lot of marines I know did and it sucks.
Since you were guide maybe you can answer this question. Should you volunteer for things? I've heard about a lot of stupid shit people got into because they decided to volunteer for something.
I would really appreciate if youd reply to give me advice an what not, but im 18 an out of school, grad late but got it. Home financially is not so good an to me family is always first so im helping out but by next year im hoping to join the marine corps. My older brother is a marine but just got out of his contract but still has that 2-3 yr deal where they can still call him back. I want to join because, and i will admit, im a lazy fuck. I will get shit done but I am pretty fuckin lazy an I want discipline so i can be a better individual so to speak. But I want to do infantry, my brother doesnt want me to but he says if its what i want then do it. Its really something I want to do despite the cons of it so by next year after i help out around the house im going to enlist. I guess I want your opinion..
hey newkid theres only 1 thing that scares me the most and believe it or not it is not bootcamp but its the fear of not being able to do mathmatics thats what scares me the most im now 15 but i really realy wanna join the (Marine special operation commandos) MARSOC it has been a long life dream for me to join the force i ask a lot of amazing ppl who told me to be marine i dont specificly need mathmatics but i ask mostly everyone with exp to be 100% sure :D
***** I plan to join the Marine Corps in two years after I graduate from college. I started training 3 months back for the marines even though working out and dieting is something I do everyday. One thing im worried about is the fact that I have a low arch on my feet or "flat feet." Will that effect me negatively on joining?
I heard from my fiancé that a lot of people were getting IT'd in the chow hall. Do you have any advice for avoiding what should be the easiest place to not get IT'd?
Any advice for someone who is joining but has a family already ? I have a 5 month old and my wife . I'm doing this to make my daughter proud and to do something meaning ful with my life . But any advice when it comes to being in the Marines and having a family ? Any advice is welcome and thank you !
Hey new kid I wanna be a marine but I'm worryied about the asvab test that I might fail it , could you give me so info about that thank you I'm only 17 turning 18 march 3
I'm 17 and I'm about to graduate high school I love the idea of being a team and accomplishing a goal as a team I'm a captain on my high school hockey team. I've wanted to be a marine since I've been a little kid my sister who is 24 is a marine. I'm just nervous about joining cause I don't know if I really want to be one. I am also nervous about how hard it is to becoming a marine
I juss. Passed my asvab and I hope to do recon and sniper mabey even delta force or homeland security if they pick me by my question is how long do u think I'll be dep program if I have nothing holding me back no kids no record not married my recruiter said it would be around a 6 month wait
+*-its been over 50 years since I received my eaglr globe and anchor but ym quite sure the onlr advice I got is still good for toda keep yout mouth shut snd eyea and ears open
Ive been thinking of recruiting. And what questions do alot of recruiters ask? Also i smoked cigarettes so what are some good ways to get into shape in i would day a 3 month period??
I assume that you're not the type that incorporates politics in your daily life (though you still may find it relevant), but I have a question that effects me personally. What are your thoughts on gays in the military?
I am going to be joining in about three or four years, and this is the way I sort of looked at it.. But didn't think much of it until I watched this. I can tell this video will be a great help to me in bootcamp. I appreciate it!
***** i have a question ive been getting my ged to enlist and right now i feel my piss would be hot, say if i get this ged bs done by the end of november, and then go in, how long after i go in will they be dropping{testing} me? i wanna know if i woould have enough time to work out sweat, drink water and get that all out of my system, i need prolly bout a month-month and a half, do you think i would have the time? thanks so much god bless
Hello, I am leaving to boot camp in a month and i was wondering if there are any tricks or easy ways to memorize the general orders, leadership principals and/or any other basic knowledge that will make boot camp easier, if i already have it in the back of my head?
Hey I'm 17 nearly 18 and in pretty good shape, I'm supposed to sit down with a Marine recruiter next week and talk about everything because after school and next August I intend to enlist. I lift all the time and I have decent stamina, I was wondering what else I need to do before I enlist, sorta as prep?
you got any advice on preparing for bootcamp? im currently overweight so i dont qualify but im trying to change my life around and really want to join the marines so since i got a lot of weight i gotta lose, any advice on things i should work on for when/if i do get to qualify to enlist?
So I'm planning to go to boot camp after I graduated high school bit everyone one is tell me not to but I really want to be a marine like my father wat should I do. By the way this video really helped
my only question to you is, if someone like me who doesn't go to the gym or isn't that big but still can endure a good amount of physical exercise.. will that affect me in any way for boot
also when you are studying for that t 55 test and your in front of the tv taking a practice test and off to the side your drill instructor is it'ing the fuck out of some guy, dont walk up and ask that drill instructor a question.
if you have any advice on what to do before i go to boot camp lemme know, im open to learning anything new, any workouts that helped you that might help me lemme know please.
What if the girl u are with understands what u are doing and is willing to sacrifice time and other things. Im doing reserves so I plan on continuing with her after I graduate
Fun fact for all who saw this video before: This man, and his twin brother, eventually became Marine Raiders (MARSOC). How badass is that
Who cares? Its not like they were Marine tankers!

Hey. I'm a Muslim US legal resident who wants to join the Marine Corps, and my question is: If I join the Marines would everyone be ok with it? I mean I won't be discriminated or anything right? That's what I'm afraid of, I feel like I won't fit in
i look middle eastern, and my recruiter makes fun of me....dont worry you will be fine :) just do your thing but dont blow us up lol (no offense)
Yes. I'm a Muslim and had no problems. I was meritoriously promoted 3 times, Battalion Marine of the Year, NCO of the Quarter, Decorated Combat Veteran 2 tours in Iraq and one stint in the Horn of Africa...don't let a religion turn you away from being a Marine...no matter what religion you claim we are brothers in the Marine Corps...
VINCE MOSTWANTED thats one of the biggest reasons I am joining the USMC.
Minus the typos...
I didn't mention this was a great video. Remember their are hypocrites in all religions. I had an awesome career in the Corps and my Marines will attest to my loyalty in Combat Theater as well...
Semper Fi
No, you shouldn't join.
BOOT CAMP ! is not fun ..... have a good time.... this boot is already a marine.... WTF

Im a 14 year old freshmen in sports. Im an A-B student. coaches and teachers say I have a good attitude. Im graduating in 2017. So i will be going to marines bootcamp at 17. Thanks for the advice
Here is a good tip from personal experience. Make sure that you really want to go through with it. Don't do it just to satisfy, and/or please your mom or dad. Otherwise, you'll end up regretting it. I got screwed over many times in the Marine Corps. Don't ever listen to anyone's persuasion except your own. My father told me that women like a man in uniform. That turned out to be an empty lie. Every time I wore the uniform out to a bar, or a restaurant; I have never received any type of attention from the women there. I didn't even get a look
What happened to this channel? Did you guys got deployed? Can't find you on Instagram neither.
Thanks for the video. My son just went to boot camp and this is week 7 and I have not heard from him. Your video is very reassuring. LOL…he had the same attitude about the "girlfriend".
Canadian infantry 20 years boot camp 1988 they physically assaulted us and I was fine with that made us hard as medal at the end.I agree with your philosophy I went with no baggage, same as you completely focused. Was rewarded top candidate, physically fitness award . You are a credit and superiors will notice. One day they came and wanted to make me a officer big regreat I did not. Stayed in the ranks. Loved every minute of it now 48 and I'm hurting physically you will to but would do it all over again.
Bro I got 49 days left till MCRD PI and I cannot wait. I hope your vid pays off in Parris island. If been pt and IST since December.
Newkidvid if you still monitor your channel message me! Looking for some advice! Have a few friends that are/went through bootcamp and I'm leaving soon myself i have some good questions.
Sir, you need medical help! I think the goal of the drill instructor is to make you feel like a prisoner of war. The drill instructors I had told what they couldn't do, and they chose to disobey their orders. Marine instructors are not allowed to hit or curse recruits, they did it anyway. Marine bootcamp is a transition period from being a civilian to military. You spend a lot of your day marching. That is a waste of time when they could do a better job of training Marines that might be sent into combat.
Marines have a nickname, "Devildogs." As we bordered the bus after graduation the drill instructor said and I quote, "if you hate us when you leave here, we did our job." My thought was,"I hope you get hit by a car on the way home."
***** hope your still checking your channel. Im joining end of summer 2016. Looking for some pointers of how to prepare myself what type of fitness should i focus on or what i could be researching to prepare myself.
Lmao. Why do I need a girlfriend in the marines. I dont need that Dear John shit. :LOVE THIS GUY
Hey bro. Loved the video. I'm enlisting after I graduate high school next year. And I'm pretty stressed. I mean being a marine has been my dream since I was 10. What's life like In the marines Where will it take me. Is it fun and adventurous. Or am I gonna be miserable. I guess Id just like to know what life is as a marine
Quick question. Im going to be in SOI during thanksgiving and Christmas would i get those days off or would i just train through them?
I am considering joining the Marine Corps. All of my friends tell me nothing but great things about boot, but I am still a little afraid of the unknown. Anyway to ease the nerves and move forward with joining?
im shipping out one December 9th for boot, I leave December 8th, this video help a lot time to run 2 mile pt
If your overweight and have to diet to get into the marines join another branch because what will happen is you will lose the weight in boot camp cause of the workout and diet they will put you on. Then when you are done with all your training and get to your new duty station and you don't diet and exercise because you want to relax when you get off work or have a life etc. and become overweight. Your command will make you get up everyday for the next 4 years at 5 am to PT while everyone else is sleeping. It will be hard. They have high standards and if they think you don't look right in your uniform your going to PT. Also same goes for if you fail the PT test. I did not have this problem but a lot of marines I know did and it sucks.
Damn I graduated December 2nd too. But in 2005. Crazy...
Since you were guide maybe you can answer this question. Should you volunteer for things? I've heard about a lot of stupid shit people got into because they decided to volunteer for something.
I would really appreciate if youd reply to give me advice an what not, but im 18 an out of school, grad late but got it. Home financially is not so good an to me family is always first so im helping out but by next year im hoping to join the marine corps. My older brother is a marine but just got out of his contract but still has that 2-3 yr deal where they can still call him back. I want to join because, and i will admit, im a lazy fuck. I will get shit done but I am pretty fuckin lazy an I want discipline so i can be a better individual so to speak. But I want to do infantry, my brother doesnt want me to but he says if its what i want then do it. Its really something I want to do despite the cons of it so by next year after i help out around the house im going to enlist. I guess I want your opinion..
Why the fuck am I watching this? I EASed almost 2 years ago...
hey newkid theres only 1 thing that scares me the most and believe it or not it is not bootcamp but its the fear of not being able to do mathmatics thats what scares me the most im now 15 but i really realy wanna join the (Marine special operation commandos) MARSOC it has been a long life dream for me to join the force i ask a lot of amazing ppl who told me to be marine i dont specificly need mathmatics but i ask mostly everyone with exp to be 100% sure :D
***** I plan to join the Marine Corps in two years after I graduate from college. I started training 3 months back for the marines even though working out and dieting is something I do everyday. One thing im worried about is the fact that I have a low arch on my feet or "flat feet." Will that effect me negatively on joining?
I heard from my fiancé that a lot of people were getting IT'd in the chow hall. Do you have any advice for avoiding what should be the easiest place to not get IT'd?
Any advice for someone who is joining but has a family already ? I have a 5 month old and my wife . I'm doing this to make my daughter proud and to do something meaning ful with my life . But any advice when it comes to being in the Marines and having a family ? Any advice is welcome and thank you !
Hey new kid I wanna be a marine but I'm worryied about the asvab test that I might fail it , could you give me so info about that thank you I'm only 17 turning 18 march 3
I'm 17 and I'm about to graduate high school I love the idea of being a team and accomplishing a goal as a team I'm a captain on my high school hockey team. I've wanted to be a marine since I've been a little kid my sister who is 24 is a marine. I'm just nervous about joining cause I don't know if I really want to be one. I am also nervous about how hard it is to becoming a marine
I juss. Passed my asvab and I hope to do recon and sniper mabey even delta force or homeland security if they pick me by my question is how long do u think I'll be dep program if I have nothing holding me back no kids no record not married my recruiter said it would be around a 6 month wait

+*-its been over 50 years since I received my eaglr globe and anchor but ym quite sure the onlr advice I got is still good for toda keep yout mouth shut snd eyea and ears open
Ive been thinking of recruiting. And what questions do alot of recruiters ask? Also i smoked cigarettes so what are some good ways to get into shape in i would day a 3 month period??
I assume that you're not the type that incorporates politics in your daily life (though you still may find it relevant), but I have a question that effects me personally. What are your thoughts on gays in the military?
Recruit school is basicaly just mind game ..
I am going to be joining in about three or four years, and this is the way I sort of looked at it.. But didn't think much of it until I watched this. I can tell this video will be a great help to me in bootcamp. I appreciate it!
***** i have a question
ive been getting my ged to enlist
and right now i feel my piss would be hot, say if i get this ged bs done by the end of november, and then go in, how long after i go in will they be dropping{testing} me? i wanna know if i woould have enough time to work out sweat, drink water and get that all out of my system, i need prolly bout a month-month and a half, do you think i would have the time? thanks so much
god bless
Hello, I am leaving to boot camp in a month and i was wondering if there are any tricks or easy ways to memorize the general orders, leadership principals and/or any other basic knowledge that will make boot camp easier, if i already have it in the back of my head?
Hey I'm 17 nearly 18 and in pretty good shape, I'm supposed to sit down with a Marine recruiter next week and talk about everything because after school and next August I intend to enlist. I lift all the time and I have decent stamina, I was wondering what else I need to do before I enlist, sorta as prep?
Yeah, I leave for boot camp July
you got any advice on preparing for bootcamp? im currently overweight so i dont qualify but im trying to change my life around and really want to join the marines so since i got a lot of weight i gotta lose, any advice on things i should work on for when/if i do get to qualify to enlist?
he's right. too bad nobody told me when i went to basic but despite it all, the leader in you will ALWAYS emerge
Even if you don't want to be an officer is college still a good idea for the Marine Corps? (could a Marine answer that)
god bless you guy and good luck on your career. My father was a marine in ww2 and I now regret not joining up when I was younger.
So I'm planning to go to boot camp after I graduated high school bit everyone one is tell me not to but I really want to be a marine like my father wat should I do. By the way this video really helped
my only question to you is, if someone like me who doesn't go to the gym or isn't that big but still can endure a good amount of physical exercise.. will that affect me in any way for boot
I take off June 23 2014
also when you are studying for that t 55 test and your in front of the tv taking a practice test and off to the side your drill instructor is it'ing the fuck out of some guy, dont walk up and ask that drill instructor a question.
if you have any advice on what to do before i go to boot camp lemme know, im open to learning anything new, any workouts that helped you that might help me lemme know please.
outta here april 15..
i have talked to a lot of people about the corps, but this video helped the most.
thanks man.
Please make more of these videos amazing.
It's like school, you hated it when you are in it, and you miss it when you are done, just enjoy the moment
I am actually leaving to marine corp boot camp on September 15th with my twin bother
What if the girl u are with understands what u are doing and is willing to sacrifice time and other things. Im doing reserves so I plan on continuing with her after I graduate
Do you lose muscle mass in boot with all the running if so how much. Its all cool if it happens there's always weight rooms once you get to the fleet
That looks like Wallace Creek. Lucky son of a bitch.
any advice on having a girlfriend while your in bootcamp ?
leaving 7/25/14 cant wait
So it's not very good to write letters? Damn I wanted to write letters to my friends and family
