  • Full Marine Corps boot camp documentary covering all phases of Marine Corps Boot Camp on Parris Island. Covers USMC boot camp arrival (receiving) through graduation.
    Understand what it's like at Marine Corps boot camp on day 1 all the way through the USMC Crucible. If you want to answer the question, How do you become a Marine?, this video is your answer.
    Marine Corps IST-Fitness standards for Marine Corps boot camp. Male recruits must be able to do 3 pull-ups or 34 push-ups & female recruits must be able to do 1 pull-up or 15 push-ups. Both are required to do 44 crunches in 2 minutes and run 1.5 miles in under 13:30 for men and 15 minutes for women. Recruits are advised to report to training in much better shape, as the IST run is only half the distance Physical Fitness Test required of all recruits prior to graduation.
    Incentive Training in Marine Corps boot camp is common if they don’t meet standards for Marine Corps training.
    Grass Week is also called “snap in”. The recruits spend time practicing their firing positions, also called “snapping in”.
    In Marine Corps Basic Warrior Training, or BWT, recruits learn the fundamentals of combat; they sleep in the field and eat MRE’s.
    The Crucible is the defining moment of USMC bootcamp. Recruits will learn the standards required to pass the Crucible, they know how long the Marine Corps Crucible is and how to pass The Crucible.
    Marine Corps Emblem “EGA” Ceremony - The Eagle Globe and Anchor emblem is the symbol the embodies what sets Marines apart from other branches of service who delineate themselves by occupation specialty or demonstrate allegiance to a specific unit through the wearing of a patch or emblem. The only symbol Marines recognize is the Marine Corps Eagle, Globe, and Anchor. Receiving the emblem signifies that the recruits have earned the title of United States Marine. They will now stand with their instructors as the Nation’s newest Marines.
    The USMC Boot Camp Gas Chamber experience is intense.
    Marine Corps Inspections are frequent and demanding during USMC boot camp.
    USMC Phase 2 includes swim qualification. All Marine recruits are required to know how to survive in the water.
    “Every Marine a rifleman” is a mantra that is central to the Marine Corps culture. Marine recruits must meet standards to qualify in Marine Corps marksmanship.
    Marine Corps boot camp Phase 4. During Phase 4, the new Marines begin to transition from their roles as recruits into that of United States Marines. During this phase new Marines now call their Drill Instructors by their rank. Instead of “Sir” or “Ma’am,” it is “Sgt” or “SSgt”. The Drill Instructors continue mentoring the new Marines by conducting discussion periods on critical topics that will help the new Marines to be successful in their transition to the operational forces.
    Battalion Commander’s Inspection in Marine Corps Recruit Training in 2019.
    The Battalion Commander’s Inspection is the final opportunity for the new Marines to be evaluated prior to graduation. As in previous inspections, they are measured on their appearance, but more importantly, the Battalion Commander is evaluating them on their confidence, character, and whether or not they embody the Marine Corps’ Core Values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment.
    Marine Corps Family Day
    On Family Day excited families line the streets and try to catch a glimpse of their Marine running by in formation. Family Day starts off with a motivational run, referred to as the “MOT Run” throughout the Depot. All graduating Marines run in formation while singing motivational cadence, loudly signaling successful completion of Recruit Training. As recruits run to the cadence of their Drill Instructors, parents, family members and friends line the streets and cheer as they try to find the face of their loved one among the crowd of new Marines.
    After the MOT Run, the new Marines have a chance to see family and friends for the first time during on-base liberty.
    Marine Corps boot camp graduation is conducted on Friday in a formal ceremony and parade, attended by family and friends.

    I remember the whole Paris Island scene, and the entire 12 weeks of recruit training. I remember my service number, and my platoon...platoon 342..3rd Recruit Training Battalion. It was a sweltering hot South Carolina night in late June, 1963, when we got off that bus, and my life changed forever. I was 18, recently graduated from high school. That was almost 57 years ago. You never forget. Never. And you never forget the pride you felt on graduation day after recruit training, before going to Camp Geiger for infantry training. I was initially a reservist, then transferred to the regular Marine Corps, saw combat in Vietnam (1967-68), discharged a Sgt in 1970. The best friends I ever had were in the Marine Corps. We were like brothers. You just never forget. I am 75 years old, and I still get chills when I hear the Marine Corps hymn, and see Old Glory blowing in the wind. God bless America, our country and our home. The word "USMC" is tattooed on my right forearm since 1966, and I wear it with pride. Semper Fi.

    My brother was a Marine. He went to bootcamp back in 2014-2015, I was only 8 or 9 at the time. We never got along but I missed him while he was away at Paris Island. When I saw him for the first time in 12 weeks I cried, harder than I ever have before. (I'm crying again lol) Seeing videos like these (of which I'm obsessed with) makes me realize that what he went through was so tough. I'm always a little prouder of him and have a little more respect whenever I see a video like this. He was medically discharged but it doesn't change how proud I am of him. He's the reason why I'm pushing myself to be better, and the only reason why I'm thinking of joining the military here in 2024-2025.
    Thank you, bro, for making me a better person.

Went and bought another bike. Sure there were days when I didn't have food, but this Marine fought through... Today April 24, 2020 I have my own apartment. It may be empty at the moment, but I shall have everything the devil stole from me. Receiving my EGA as a Recruit (Recruit 42), this Marine utilized a lot that was taught during basic training at USMCRD Parris, Island to make it through the tough days living on the streets.

      I feel for you brother as I was in a similar situation. You are an inspiration to other people. I know you're telling the truth because Marines(especially recruits)refer to themselves in the third person. I was a Navy Corpsman and later in life as a civilian I was homeless for 8 years. I'm low income but at least I have a nice studio apartment, and a car, that unfortunately has just about had it. I'll be without one soon but I don't live too far away from the store and hospital. I hate the way homeless vets are stereotyped. This is what a lot of people, not all but a lot of them think about homeless vets. "You're homeless because you are a drug addict and/or an alcoholic, you spent all your money or got kicked out of your place." For some vets that's true but not all of us. Some of us have had situations beyond our control that resulted in homelessness. For me, I quit my job to take care of my father who had senile dementia. I had worked in nursing homes previously and I knew if it was possible he was never going in one. I was able to do this for 8 years before my health deteriorated and I could no longer take care of him they way he needed to be. I used my savings until they were gone and when he had to go in a nursing home I became homeless. As my mother and brother had died several years before this I was the only one left and I would take care of him again if I had to and was able. He had a granddaughter and my brothers wife was still alive and healthy but in 8 years I never got any help from either one of them despite my father giving them both thousands of dollars after my brother died. Like you I didn't give up.

    reminds me of my sergeant course back in my home country. we had many of these similar trainings and the only thing that kept us going was that badge of honor and our love ones faces at the end of the course.
    during a 2 week outfield exercise, we had topo, navigation, many different exercises like day and night raids, sentries, etc. on the halfway line of surviving 2 weeks living in the forest, we were called up for a section meeting, not knowing that we will be receiving a letter from our families. even the toughest men cry when reading their letters.
    had one bunk mate who lost his parents very young and was raised by an orphanage. his letter was from all the little kids living in his orphanage writing they want to be like big brother when they grow up and he broke down immediately.

    My older brother joined the marines a few years ago. He's 25 now. He was such a big inspiration to me, and now I can see what he had to go through as a marine. I remember the day my brother came home from the airport to visit family for a few weeks. I cried my eyes out. And after he left, I cried to.. Then the day for them to come home was here. He decided to prank/ surprise us. He gathered a little boys hat that they wear in Afghanistan, and a blanket from the marines, and set it on our table. We came home to see the surprise he left us, but we didn't get it. Then, suddenly my mom burst into tears as she realized what it was and where it was from. My brother was staying at his friends house, as a hideout kind of a thing, and he lived right next to our house. Then, we saw him, crossing the road, coming home. And it was one of the happiest days of my life

Nobody even thought of laughing or even smiling because the instructors had us on our feet the entire time and god only knows what would have happened if someone did laugh out loud. He wound up making it all the way thru but I can’t even begin to imagine how embarrassing that must have been for him, and that reputation probably followed him thru his entire career in the military.

    Great video on US Marine basic. When I enlisted in the Canadian Army Oct/79. Ten rules you will need to help enhance this enjoyable experience?
    1. Stare into the NCO's eyes they love attitude, gets them off big time
    2. Always address an NCO by their first name, yo dog, gee, or playa will do
    3. Try to be a few minutes late for roll call, they love rebellious types
    3. It's okay to sleep in, they understand. Better yet, ask for a wake-up call
    4. Tell the NCOs you know how basic training is, you've seen full metal jacket
    5. Tell the NCOs you know about combat, you've played tour of duty on PS4
    6. Ask the NCOs if you can have the weekend off? you've made other plans
    7. Remember to bring food into the barracks, they understand, guys get hungry
    8. Hey, Sgt. Do I really have to make my bed? But my mom usually does that
    9. Ask the NCOs how their weekend was, they love it when you get personal
    10. NCOs love your feedback, always bitch/complain whining if possible?
    Don't bother trying to outsmart the NCO'S, they went through this just like you, so every trick you think you know? they've already done it, thought about it, or got caught doing it by their drill instructors, who went through the exact same thing. You will remember this experience for the rest of your life, I can guarantee it. Will you make it through basic? depends upon how badly you want it. Like everything in life, being in the military has a cost. Only in here, the costs are much higher. The question is r u up for it? Well, are you?

    I will never forget when I landed on Parris Island and stood on those yellow footprints (14 Dec. 1994), through the day I crossed the Parade Deck and became a United States Marine (3 March 1995). This brings back a lot of memories... It takes weeks to turn a boy into a young man and a young man into a Marine. Such a story cannot be told in less than 1/2 an hour. This peek into the process is entertaining, but the real story is much more compelling.

      There is a very interesting series about the Marines and Army during the Korean war. Many of the Marines that fought at Inchon and Chosin had never been to boot camp. They were reservists who had gone to a couple weeks of annual training, got called up and were sent to Korea where they filled the 1st Marine Division. Many were in the 5th Marine Regiment and made the landing at Inchon as soon as they arrived in Korea. Those non-boot Marine apparently did and outstanding job, based on OJT, they did not go to boot camp after they returned to the states. There were many of those reservist who were WWII combat vets and that may have had a great impact on those Marines who had little training before combat. I have interviewed Marines who fought on Iwo and who subsequently fought in Korea, and to a person they said Korea was much more difficult and brutal than Iwo. The first Marine Division, the 7th Army Division and the 3 Army Division, with the ROK 1st Division, did a pretty outstanding job at Chosin considering they overwhelming odds against them.

When we were finally issued ACOGs in the Fleet we were issued back up rear iron sights KAC micro w/ USMC engraved. That wasn’t till my 3rd deployment. One MEU pre 911 and 2 trips to the sandbox.
      It’s easy to teach how to operate and shoot with an ACOG, but first you must learn the basics with iron sights. Also all those exercises in the gas chamber were done without the mask and when instructed you could put it back on. I didn’t really see anybody coming out crying with snot coming out mouth and nose.

      @@DanzeyInDistress Cause you aren't allowed to move I was in 2 battalion Hotel Co. summer of 93 we were in formation right outside the barracks and the recruit next to me moved and our Company First Seargent guy named Brummer was driving down the main drag in a white military truck they used to get around the Island and he locked it up got out and smacked me on the chest in front of my DI and then they wore me out on the quarter deck later on. Now I'm not saying we were abused or anything because that was not the case and I was shocked he did it where he did it but I had no problem with it. It's a mind game but a disciplined fighting man is the most dangerous one and the one who goes home.

    This is a great video. I went to Paris Island in 78..I did 4 years. 3 years as a CH46 Crewchief. This video brings back a host of emotions. Id say the mental break and rebuilding process was pretty brutal but necessary. The physical training was tough but doable if you got yourself in shape BEFORE getting to paris Island. Dont go there, not in shape. Today, im 64 years old. Im still in good shape. Every marine on earth is my brother for life. Its just the way it is.

I am a former County employee and we have colaborated on using public County golf links for his annual charity golf tournament. Sarge Keith is a great guy. One time he fooled me when we finished our workout.....we bid good by .....see ya later....and then he said: "oh, Tim.....by the way "GET A HAIRCUT." Love the guy.
