Congrats on picking up ssgt! You were my knowledge hat for plt 3060 in 2014. You told me “it doesn’t matter if you’re shoveling shit out of a barn, take pride in what you do”
@@D-Mill6174 Congratulations too on your promotion SSgt! I was also in 3060 in 2014. I remember seeing you working with recruits in the middle of the night to help them with their PFT, which left me a lasting impression on how to be a leader. I still feel guilty for fucking up the final knowledge test, I should've been hazed for it but it never happened.
@@D-Mill6174 Are you the person in the video giving the speech? If so, even though I am German I would go to your group anytime to do the training! Hats off to you!
SSgt Miller was our Drill Master in 2015. Badass to see he got back in the squad bay. I'd bet money that this plt won initial drill and final drill and probably everything else. This guy is a savage!
Ssgt Miller, you have my deepest respect. Even though I have no desire to be in the military, especially the Marines, I highly respect those serving our military to protect our beloved nation.
Look where TH-cam took me once again. Brother, lots of people concerned with your lack of duty belt for your PRACTICE SPEECH! Haha. As always, f-ing stunning my man!
Memories of Plt 395, India Company, 3rd Battalion,Oct - Dec 73, thanks Ssgt Stewart, Ssgt Jonigan, Sgt Valentin and Sgt Guest. We were the last platoon to be dismissed for 1973. Semper Fi.
we had 2 DIs + SDI and I remember looking at platoons with 3 thinking"f that sucks, can't get away with nothing". SDI SSgt Bodette from history channel....
i graduated from platoon 3053 lima co august 11th 2023 (two days ago). it’s super weird seeing a whole different group of drill instructors with my same platoon number and company
I graduated February 24 2017 from 3rd battalion Lima company platoon 3009 SSGT Olivera was my senior drill instructor for the first half of the cycle and then got moved to kilo company as a chief drill instructor from then on my senior was SSGT Seabol
March 4, 2016 is when I graduated. 3rd Battalion, L Company, Plt. 3020, Follow series. Senior was SSGT Carillo, Heavy was SSGT Jones, and 3rd was SGT Polite.
Steve Coronado, it ended with a 3 hat team and was actually nicer that way. Done my fair share with 3 hat teams and even a one man show for about 2 weeks at one point.
When i was in i was talking to this other recruit in a different platoon and he said his SDI forgot part of his speech and the other DI had to tell him 😂💀
My son was in charlie company and graduated from parris Island in December of 2013. He was honorably discharged in October of 2017 as a full corporal. They offered him an extra stripe to reenlist. He declined.
When I was in India company platoon 3096 back in 2011 the kill hat for my platoon name was Sgt Miller. I wonder is this the same guy or not? My heavy hat was sgt Prograis(i think thats how its spelled) and my SDI was SSgT Gentry.
SSgt O was my senior in 2016 for Lima co 3086, very professional Marine. Just submitted my SDA volunteer package last week, if you see this do you have any advice on the school house or any thing you wish you knew before becoming a hat?
He doesn't have a youtube account but I let him know you commented. He said you can reach out to him at oliveira1818@aol.com and he can give you some advice.
Dustin M oh ok that make sense just thought it was after because of the date posted and he was an SStg when he was my SDI so that’s bad .. I was suppose to graduate July 16th 2017
No, it's not something new. It really just depends on the number of personnel in the company. Some cycles there were as many as five. Other cycles there were only three. This one started with five but ended with only three.
fellow marines, i need your help locating my former d.i.'s and privates from my platoon # 2032/april 93' here/ golf company , i do not have f.b. , just email + y.t. channel here , thanks > tom !

Very moving SSgt. Miller - well done!
Thank you Dustin for your service
I remember him as Sgt Miller, showed up half way through my cycle as a new DI, glad he moved up the ranks. Made life hell 😂

I remember SSgt Miller jesus christ lol
kevin l Brown yeah bro he was my chief and Sgt Oliviera was my senior,( the one wit the sleeve)
As flawless as it gets!!! Ooh Rah!
Remember when you would stand in formation and just fantasize about food?
Happened all the time especially during training weeks 9 and 10
He's a DI. Yelling is what they do. Lol
we had 2 DIs + SDI and I remember looking at platoons with 3 thinking"f that sucks, can't get away with nothing". SDI SSgt Bodette from history channel....
It’s so weird seeing Lima’s barracks without the lockers
I think I was in one of “Sgt Miller’s” first platoons, if not his first: 3100 in 2013
@kidzbopsux, You are 100% correct. Started with 3100, then went to 3096 for a couple weeks, and then back to 3100.
Same here 3100 with SDI Ssgt. Mattingly!
SSGT. Olivera was probably the best senior drill instructor in the island when I was on the island.
Great Intensity!

I remember having 3 DI'S in 1983 and in those days things were totally different. PLT 3051 I Company
I graduated February 24 2017 from 3rd battalion Lima company platoon 3009 SSGT Olivera was my senior drill instructor for the first half of the cycle and then got moved to kilo company as a chief drill instructor from then on my senior was SSGT Seabol
SSGT Olivera was my senior in 2016. Graduated October 21st.
You must be very proud, Dustin.

Andrew Marsh “SGT Polite”
lol
I was in Plt. 3016 graduate the same day
Wtf! 5 man team! Must be nice!
Steve Coronado IKR?!
This is practice
Back in 1999 at Alpha Company all 6 platoons had 5 man teams. I've seen some with 6 Green Belts and 1 Senior.
Steve Coronado, it ended with a 3 hat team and was actually nicer that way. Done my fair share with 3 hat teams and even a one man show for about 2 weeks at one point.
I had 6. PLT 2174 H Co
I'm a Marine and would never expect my partner to fold. It happened 16 years broken.
When i was in i was talking to this other recruit in a different platoon and he said his SDI forgot part of his speech and the other DI had to tell him 😂💀

Highest respect for these hats, even while I’m still a civilian. I’m actually looking forward to some intense commanding by my DI’s.
I’m gonna be 3rd battalion Lima company when I ship June 17th.
Err.
I just graduated from Lima 3 days ago.. Lmk if you get SGT Espinoza, SSTG Calderon, STG Curry, SSTG Paige etc
Bro I also ship on the 17th probably see you there.
I will be too!
Ace04869 dude I’m gonna be in the same company and ship out the same day
"Sit up straight and look at me" Those two guys slouching at the front not looking at him...
That's because the two guys in the front are also Drill Instructors. This is a practice speech as the title of the video says.
I didn't read the title lol. I was just clicking from one video to the next 😂😂😂

No, it would’ve been another Miller. I was there from 2013-2016 and was only in Lima Company.
@@D-Mill6174 oh ok thanks

Smart, you were in 3086? That’s awesome man. I was to. Don’t know if you remember me though.
I doubt the Senior DI Instructor ever had problem motivating recruits within half mile or so.Rahhh
After watching this, I feel like eating a whole box of crayons
I was 3253 at San Diego graduated August 13th 2021
What happened to their duty belts?
It's a practice speech... Actual speech; th-cam.com/video/7Gknll45Qog/w-d-xo.html
Good oh Sgt deo man motivator
That man was my kill hat in his first cycle I believe.....
DI Sgt Manskie the second green belt was my Senior Drill Instructor right before this platoon
He may have been your SDI, but I can assure you it wasn't before this platoon. This platoon graduated July 8th, 2016.
Dustin M oh ok that make sense just thought it was after because of the date posted and he was an SStg when he was my SDI so that’s bad .. I was suppose to graduate July 16th 2017
He was a heavy in a different platoon and he was terrifying every time i saw him. Absolutely terrifying
@@joem3115 I can only imagine I had him as my SDI probably would’ve shit myself if he was my green belt he
I was in plt 3053 in San Diego .
Do they not wear duty belts anymore as DI's? Or am I missing something.
You’re missing something. Read the description.
3rd Battalion Lima company I leave on the 7th🤙🏾
How did it go?
Hey 😊 Brothers
2002 my hard hat punched a recruit in the face ( much deserved ) and well not sure where I was going with this but love the intensity..
When did they stop wearing duty belts?
They didn’t. It’s a practice speech so no one is wearing a duty belt.
A total of FIVE DI’s? Is that something new? When I was in (1979), we only had three!
No, it's not something new. It really just depends on the number of personnel in the company. Some cycles there were as many as five. Other cycles there were only three. This one started with five but ended with only three.
Where are their duty belts??
If you read the title and description of the video, you’ll see it is a practice speech during pickup week, thus, no belts.
No duty belts? Is that not a thing anymore or was this some kind of exception
Nathan, it’s a practice speech like the title suggests.
whatever happened to the p;hrase "never lies, cheats, or compromises!"? Is compromising now allowed in the newer softer marine corps?
Wasn’t he a drill master at one point ?
Sabastiano Saya, yes
Did he say DI Day and DI Night?
vishe307 Deo and Knight
Dustin M Gotcha.
TO THE USMC RECRUITS:
GET YOUR AFFAIRS IN ORDER!!!
No more black belt?
If you read the title and description, you’ll see it is a practice speech, thus, no belts.
No duty belts???
Read description
Umm y r they not wearing there belts?.
Bobby_Bill it’s a practice speech. The real one is posted in another video.
Is That You John Wayne?
Is This Me?
That guy on the left doesn’t look like he’s sitting up straight. And haha that dude on the right who raised his arm when they were saying the creed
I thought no one else noticed that
3017. Sdl. Ssgt. pippin
Wait these drills instructors are not like the others no duty belts, what's next no campaing cover/hat.
This is a practice speech. Not the real thing. Thus no belts. Real speech: th-cam.com/video/7Gknll45Qog/w-d-xo.html
@@jacksonmiller6679 those are Drill Instructors. Just to have an audience for practicing.
Is that Sgt swain sitting closest to the camera?
fellow marines, i need your help locating my former d.i.'s and privates from my platoon # 2032/april 93' here/ golf company , i do not have f.b. , just email + y.t. channel here , thanks > tom !
Err
Whats with the yelling
Joseph Arcoleo why not?
Drill instructor Miller is a drill instructor he needs to do he’s job 😐
5 drill sgts for 1 platoon,yikes!!
Where are their duty belts?
In the duty hut. Since it’s a practice speech.
