I posted on this footage six years ago. I cannot count how many times I’ve watched it since then. Many memories of being a Drill Instructor in 1994 and 2002.

Being a prior Drill Instructor circa 2011 and a recruit in 2004, it’s awesome to see how much the SDI speech changed.

😂 Emptying out perfectly arranged foot lockers coz one recruit f*cks up! Of all the mean spirited things to do. I remember it like yesterday back in 1993. The DIs had us empty out those monster skybags thatt some of the shorter girls barely reached hanging at the back of those bunk beds. Best part was running repeatedly up and down the stairs. I was on the "quarterdeck" team always, even when I did nothin wrong. Good chaotic times at Parris Island. Fattest mosquitos or sand fleas exist there for perfect tortire during drill inspections. Lesson learned, use that bug spray or else endure the bites from the little buggers. They go inside your ears and attempt to go in your nostrils. One trick is to quietly blow them away from your face without getting caught. I got caught doing one quick dig when one sand flea made it to my ear canal. I couldn't just allow it to get completely in there😅.

Hello, I was in Platoon 1086, graduated in August of that year (1992). Anyone know whatever happened to GYSGT Ulmer or SSGT Cagigas?

WHERE’S THE HEAT?!?! Sugar Platoon!

3rd Bn Lima Co back in 97-00. Oh yess I remember this well...

Old School Barracks!

3068 Mike Company. 1995

Just begin

What happened to our corps?

Platoon 1050 Bravo Company PI Graduated June 20 1986

Bliss, this is Will...SSGT Williams at that time. I worked with Draughn, Deck and Couglin.....

I was a Drill Instructor in this series. This is around 1991-93. Parris Island SC. 3d BN I Co. Oorah!!

I remember a recruit 💩 himself on Black Friday.

Army BCT 1981. I remember "get your sorry effing ass to the position of attention/parade rest." and "Any of you bad-asses wanna take a swing at me you go right ahead".

Left the Corps in 1980 ! And after watching dozens upon dozens of these various , " Marine " Boot camp videos, I believe that having these videos, takes the edge off the recruit ! As the D.I.'s lose their advantage of, " Shock ond Aw " that else would be intact ! Just as not knowing what to expect on the battlefield, keeps your head on a swivel, and in the game, so should going to Boot camp be ! Seems too, that the already changes made, and ones of long standing, Military courtesies being considered, are in my opinion attacks from within the Government itself ! And with that, to the detriment of the safety of the United States ! Since the Genie is already out of the bottle, I doubt it's going back in ! Sad as it is ! Just my Two cents ! And as this too will one day likely come under scrutiny, SEMPER FI

12:57 I remember my DI's yelling like that all the time.

They’re saying “Freeze, Recruit, Freeze.” But in 1984, it was “Freeze Private Freeze.” And it was “Sir Yes Sir” instead of “Yes Sir.”

3082 - 3rd Bn Kilo, 1991. And why the hell are that Marine's pants so high?! Unsat my friend. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I remember... 3rd Bn, 3031, H Co, 3013..

That's GySgt Mason walking around behind the new hat on initial drill.

I never met a Marine I didn't get along with.

The SDI may be laid back in this part, I bet catching his wrath would be Hell

I respect the hell out of the Marines. I ended up in the Navy, but wish I would have went in the Marines. I went to RTC Orlando the same year as these guys. Hard to believe that these guys, and I as well, are around 50 now. Man how time flies. God bless the Corps.

"Thoroughly indoctrinated in love of Corps and Country". Graduated November 20th, 1981. It used to be thoroughly indoctrinated in love of God, Corps and Country. I guess they took God out of the equation when they allowed LGBT to serve "openly". And sure this nation becoming too PC they don't want to offend any atheists. I think God stopped blessing our nation quite some time ago. Semper Fi to all real Marines. Not femmes or WMs. (Men formed the history and battle traditions of the Marine Corps, not WM's. So Semper Fi does not apply to WM'S) That's hard Corps!

I can guarantee you they had this Platoon lean mean killing machines.

Sir where you a 2nd platoon Di during the summer 1994.

Music to my ears. I went to MCRD San Diego Aug-Nov 1989 Platoon 3075. Just had a nephew ship off to San Diego a couple weeks ago. This is the day that every Marine remembers. I love the sense of calm you get the first few days at Receiving. DI's aren't really going crazy, just a lot of being rushed around...and then you form it up and go to your real platoon. Series Commander is all calm, the Senior is calm, then come these monsters! Love it.

I went through 3rd BN Lima CO about a year after this. Plantoon 3129 SDI SSGT Shoemaker

3045, 82 PI....

Now this is boot camp I remember. It's been 24 years for me and I remember this like it was yesterday.

Its has been 39 years ago since I step on the foot prints of MCRD SD and I don't forget single day of my recruit training. Semper Fidelis

weak sauce

They were ASSHOLES

No Thank You Let the fighters be real men. I watch TV all day.

Went through in 81 , loved all of it . I knew it was a big game to weed out the useless ones however it’s a numbers game to graduate a certain amount of body’s 😢

2065 Fox Co 1976

3073, India Co. 3rd Herd. Sept 1992, Sunny San Diego. Semper

This looks a lot more relaxed than I remember. As soon as our CPT left, all Hell broke loose. I went to Boot Camp in 1998 though. This says 92'? Hmm, ok. I just remember the CPT left and then, receiving was over.......and holy buckets of monkey shit. Just like that movie Aladdin, It was a "Whole New World" LOL.

1/29/1980 arrival to Paradice Island

I was in 3118, this guy was our platoon's senior DI also.... he went on to get a doctorate in education

How true it is completely different the DI'S back when I was going through boot camp were like u have no idea they were the toughest that they had back then when the Cold War and Nam was getting started
