I was at Parris Island in 1957. This video makes it look like kiddie camp. It was brutal. Everyone in my platoon was scared shitless by the D.I.s, but, eventually, we got used to it! I'll never forget it and I'm 85 yrs old next month! Semper Fi.
USMC 68-71 PARRIS ISLAND CPL VMO-6 MAG 36 Quang Tri Vietnam/Futema Okinawa. It is literally impossible to explain what Marine Corps boot camp was like. Every documentary (including this one) is a warered down version. It's without doubt the biggest physical and mental challenge you'll ever expirance. I wouldn't change one thing it literally gave me the discipline and intestinal fortitude to be who I am today. I'm 74 yrs old I can still remember what Parris Island was like.
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 !
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.
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...

I remember we must of been a experiment platoon, we wore boots through out boot camp,never saw tennis shoes!!! Must have loved it after 27 years in !!!
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?
This video is pure Marine Corps propaganda. It was made to look like Parris Island was basically a summer camp. I joined in 1965. What a hell hole for 12 weeks. Drill instructors beat the crap out of recruits. Who screwed up. Mass punishment was the norm. This is just pure propaganda.

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.
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...

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.
You know it does not really matter if a man is big and muscular but it only matters if he has a cold black heart as mine is. Love my Marine Corps !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Life taker and a heart breaker !!!!!!!!!
