A fascinating short documentary on the manner in which the United States Marine Corps trained its recruits in 1959 at Parris Island, South Carolina, home of the larger of the two Marine Corps Recruit Depots. Recruits are shown arriving at the base, being shorn of their hair, fitted for new uniforms, and taught military discipline and bearing. Training in hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, close-order drill, and first aid is provided, and physical training through exercise, obstacle courses, and swimming is emphasized. Recruits who succeed in their training graduate as United States Marines.
An incredible time-capsule to the era just before the stresses of the 1960s and the Vietnam War era on the USMC.

Some of these marines went to Vietnam and didn't come home
😢😭 May God Bless our Veterans
Great to see that we were trained basically the same way they were trained and that was 70 years ago. Once and always Semper Fidelis
... sure
@@Nobody-dc8dp Nobody says it all POS
Just got home from bootcamp last Friday, and I can tell you rn we are not trained the same 😭
SSgt. Robert Drewicz, KIA fall 1968, joined in 1958 . He was on his 2nd tour in the Marine Corp and was on his 2nd tour in Viet Nam . I was with him in Viet Nam in 1965 and we are from the same home town of Toledo , Ohio....." All Gave Some , Some Gave All " Semper Fi Bros !
SEMPER FI!!! (Semper Fidelis)
an error was made in this movie. What was described as the " Confidence course " was the obstacle course. I ran that obstacle course twice a day at Parris Island in 1965.
Semper fi
I was 9 years old when this happened in 59 in 1968 I was catching hell from the DIs..third battalion..
They need to bring back this type of boot camp. Sadly today's boot camp has gotten weak since they allow joint male and female boot camp. It's now summer camp now...
You mean male and female in the same barracks?
MCRD San Diego July-Spt 1957.
Platoon 102 Jan-1959 to Apr-1959. Eight man squad drill at 09:58. The drill instructor’s voice at 10:02 is from Platoon 100.
This was the best time to make a video about marines
Wached from Jamaica and like what I saw. Had a few family and friend who joined but never had the previlege.
I went through MCRD San Diego in 1961 at the age of 17. I was in receiving barracks alone for a few days since I got there a few days before Christmas. We spent all day watching football games on
New Year’s Day. It was boring. Then the next day the shit hit the fan.
OBVIOUSLY PRE- JUNK FOOD... NOT A FAT KID AMONG 'EM
Pre hormone and chemicals being shoved into food. I don’t think Americans are just eating fast food by intense numbers but I do believe the food has been altered.
Serious question: I graduated MCRD Parris Island in 1992. It felt a lot tougher than this video portrays. Did MCRD get tougher since then or was this video intended to show a less intense version than actual training at that time?
We of C Co 2nd ReconBn 2nd Mar Div in 1958, were the “first” Marines to use Helicopters,
I was 3 years old in 1959...
I wish we would've started out with a hight & tight haircut like in this film instead of the baldy haircuts we got upon arrival... our last 3 haircuts were hight & tights... Semper Fi!!! USMC 1985-91 here..
What was the point of the music played over the film? Certainly, this is all in the Public Domain by now. Especially since it was released as a 'Public Service Message' by the DoD to encourage voluntary enlistment... It's distracting hearing two music tracks over each other; I had to look to see if one of my background programs had audio playing!
October 59 and I was there! NiSan Huts in third Battalion! Until I got an infected eye. Then it was First Battalion one month later!
They missed out on Elliot’s Beach and the Gas chamber! Fun times!
I'm guessing/assuming these real men used the pronouns of he/him/his!!!!!!!!
The recruits were given a towel first so they can dry their eyes from all the crying they're gonna be doing!
🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
i liked full metal jacket better than this
"How to die for someone else." No, thanks.
Would not want you around me! Not worthy of my life or anyone else’s.
