I am 60 now and went through bootcamp in 1979. I so wish I could do it all over again. As tough as that time was it was the best time of my life. It taught me courage and I was in the best physical shape I have ever been in after that.
Face the red bins now! Aye aye, sir! Take one step back now! Aye aye, sir! Take one hop foward now! Aye aye, sir! Cha cha real smooth now! Aye aye, sir!
Best advice for anyone going to boot camp is do not take anything. All you need is the shirt on your back, your jeans, i.d. card and that's it. It will make your life so much easier.
All I had when I got off that bus was my Marine tee shirt, my jeans, wallet with i.d. card, social security card and that's it. You don't need money because as soon as you arrive at the airport, you can go to the USO and get a soda or food before being picked up. And if you need to call home, take a phone card to use at the USO phone booth. Leave your cell phone behind.
when I went that is all I took with me. just my ID my cloths I had on my back and that was it. but a good recruiter will tell you this. People that show up with cell phones radios, think they get to keep it haha. not. I did take a camera to take video on the way there and back. when I arrived it was put with storage, and didnt get it until later. like a day or so before Graduation. but yea its better to not take anything at all.
He is one of the best drill instructors that have been filmed and released on TH-cam. I'm sure there are many others, but from what I can watch he is the best. Do you understand?

Do drill sergeants demoralize these young men that bad? They join the military to fight for America and nobody's getting to fight for America.

5:45 The DI said sorry to that guy because he kicked a paper and it almost hit him! He must be a higher rank? I got mad respect for that DI, while he's in the zone he still aware of his actions and respected the guy in the Cammies.
AMotivatedIndividual the guy in the cammies was probably an officer or at least a high ranking enlisted. He looked like an older guy and walked around like he was in charge
Regardless of rank, once you’re a soldier or marine and out of basic/boot and earned your title you’re treated with equal respect. Well, for the most part. I knew some shitbag leaders when I was in the Army but myself and others around my rank treated our lower enlisted with the same respect as we gave the Sergeant Major.
I appreciated the very clear instructions. It was very satisfying to be prepped for what you're about to do in very clear commands before you do it, so you can all execute the move together in one swift motion. When I was in boot camp, I didn't feel lost, I always knew what I needed to do. It was the first time in my life I felt I could accomplish anything.
Because your one of the many who can’t think for themselves but have to have to feel the security of knowing that someone is barking it to you within the hierarchy of a military structure. The type that thrives on having someone else tell them what to do. Like so many of the braindeads of todays society. Another robot.
There was a Marine Corps video where the drill instructor was yelling at a recruit wearing a T-shirt that said pain is weakness, leaving the body. The drill is gonna keep saying I want it. I want it now intensity hurry up. Does anybody have that video? Please send it to me. It’s funny as hell.
10 AUG. 1965....Ya gotta love these Admin. Instructors. We as well, stood before a wooden bench. We were handed a cardboard box. You stripped down , placed everything in that box. You sealed that box and addressed it to your home. You were then issued a pair of skives , T-shirt , socks, BDU's and our favorite....The old `Yellow` sweat shirt. Then you received a wonderful `Aluminum bucket` , accompanied with a pack of clothes pins & scrub brush. Going back a little , we were brought in to MCRD in a covered 6X...so you didn't know how ya got there or where ya were. We spent "I believe" Ha ha...2 days in that barracks , then marched to our proper platoons at our Quonset huts. 8 weeks later we graduated from boot camp & went to Camp Pendleton for I.T.R & A.C.T. for 4 weeks. Home for a week....Then to staging for Vietnam. We did in 12 weeks , what they now do in 16 weeks. This was due to needing replacement Marines in Nam. By Feb. 1966 ( 2 1/2 months in country) I was 12th senior man in my company , I was told to take my R & R then or loose it. My platoon consisted of....My squad 2 of us....1st squad 6 men....3rd squad 3 men. 4th squad was gone. This was by June 1966. By the end of Oct. 1966 , I had been standing in one spot to long , bad hair day. MediVaced out. 18 months later & 21 operations , released from hospital to Marine Re-hab Company. 1 Jan 1971....Med. Retirement. As Archie Bunker would say, "Those were the days my friend" !
First off, thank you for you service and sacrifice. Secondly, ignore the negative comments that have an obvious political agenda, or are just bored people " trolling " for an angry reaction from you and others like you that have served. Those people don't seem to understand they wouldn't have the ability to make absurd comments online if it were not for men/woman like you. Thank you.
What's funny about being an older guy who's been through it as a kid I actually feel bad for the DI's. Tedious work especially for the guys who are on duty to fill in on arrival night. They have to go through this organized stupidity they've seen a million times and keep up the orchestrated intensity.
+Robert “TangFiend” James In other words, they get to start the very significant change at the very beginning. Honestly, I'd imagine DIs say that's one of their most favorite aspects of the job. If they see transitioning civilians into Marines as tedious, I seriously don't think they'd last long as DIs. A passion for the transformation is essential to do this, day in/day out, I'd imagine.
My favorite part. A close second being 6:35, "YOU'RE DONE! YOU'RE DOOOOONNNNNEEE!!" *starts to walk away but realizes there was no response. Aggressively steps back.* "AYE-AYE SIR!!!" *scared everyone so bad that they all responded*
So this is what my little brother Loren went thru. I would not have been so brave. Lol... Thanks to all news recruits and veterans for their service. 👍👏🙏 prayers for you all on journey.
xKonceiitedx Gaming he was talking about the war bag not the white net bag thing. If you know your rights from left you would also know the DI specifically states on your left arm up to your shoulder like you’re carrying a purse and he was carrying the war bag on his right not his left. Last I checked your right arm is your 3 o’clock and your left is your 9. 9:25 if you click that time stamp you can see the DI lifting up and showing his left arm as an example so they understand.
I love this video. The dedication and passion for training those recruits comes through. To mold Marines and to not dishonor the Veterans and the fallen Marines abd their families. There is a level of respect, tradition, and dedication that must be reached in order to attain that title.
I went through Air Force basic training in the 70's and Officer Training School in the 80's. Both were tough programs; lots of drop outs; however, there was a lot less screaming by our instructors. These recruits when they graduate will turn out to be dedicated, loyal Marines - willing and able to defend the country. To all my fellow military members - as well as their families - Happy Independence Day holiday. Be well and stay safe.
I went thru USAF boot camp in 1965...July. We had three DI's..the first one got moved, the second one lost his fucking mind aand the last one paid little attention to us. It was really weird. Our yellow rope and whistle was from a military school..he basically trained us inasmuch as marching and bed making, UCMJ ETC.. .. that kinda thing..we had a lot of drop outs too...about 25 percent of our boot camp group lost it...went awol, got sick..got hurt..lost their fucking minds cause they were afraid they were going to Viet Nam..me, I'm 17 and knew better..your chance of going to Nam was based solely upon your AFSC..you couldn't make some of the idiots understand. Boot camp was like boy scout camp..it was a big nothing.
At 5:45 the one Sergeant kicks a manila folder, not seeing the Marine coming around the corner. Can't tell what his rank is but I see a lot of black. Maybe a Master Gunnery Sergeant? Anyhow, you see the Sergeant kinda move his hands in the "oops, I didn't mean to kick that folder at ya, I was going rage mode!" type gesture. Haha!
I remember watching this before boot camp. Fast forward a few years to when I PCSed to 2/8 the SSgt in the very beginning was my company 1Sgt. It truly is a small Marine Corps
Outstanding performance by all the DI's especially the highly feared and respected SDI. Recruits need this kind of motivation and resolve to become part of an elite force. Oorah!
I was Navy. 1992 I went to RTC Orlando. I thought football coaches yelled and cursed! Best time of my life! Happy Veterans Day to all who served, and happy birthday to the Marine Corps!
Hey shipmate. I enlisted in the Navy in 1992 as well. RTC San Diego. Stationed on Coronado (NASNI), on the Kitty Hawk. Hope you are living well, amigo. Thank you for your service.
The military can offer three necessary benefits as you travel through life: Focus, discipline, and respect. All whom successfully completed their tours have those baked into their lives... forever. Those in this clip are receiving it.
The life of a Drill Instructor is boot camp boot camp boot camp. He or She has no other life, I think it takes a special kind of person to become a drill Instructor
Wow........I can only imagine how many of those recruits are thinking "What the hell have I gotten myself into". Takes a unique individual for sure to endure this. Thanks for your service!
I love it. USAF Basic training too many years ago at 18. These instructors are doing great work and making men and Marines out of civilians. If you don't understand just why this is they way they do it, just be darn glad there are men who go to defend and serve and you don't have to.
Even though I watched tens of TH-cam videos, and I was so prepared for this moment to be screamed at, when it finally came....... I was so excited and happy I forgot what I watched and just wanted to genuinely expedience what others have experienced before me
I can bet alot that in that moment more than one recruit is thinking to themselves, "WTF did I get myself into," and probably slightly regreting signing up for this in the first place.
It has been almost 40 years since I left the military. I was never sorry I joined, and I was never sorry I left after 6 years. It was the right decision both times. My time in the service did a lot to help me prepare to face the real world. I would highly recommend it to young people today.
@@crystalcorker5476 They are NOT being 'Mean' to them. They are putting them under pressure both to evaluate them and to train them to follow orders. Following orders is what the military is all about.
@@gedstrom oh ok. My son is headed for marine boot camp this summer and I being a mother will worry but proud at the same time. I was worried of those sergeants beating him or hurting him. The yelling I know is part of training
@@crystalcorker5476 They are not allowed to strike a recruit. If they do, they themselves are in trouble. The basic issue is that many of these kids have never really been away from home before and their attitudes need to be changed. Marines have always been considered the toughest service. In time of war, they are often the first ones into battle. So their training needs to be the toughest.
Watching this video brings back such fond memories of my experience in boot camp and MCRD San Diego, Platoon 1079, Graduated 29 September 1972. Say what you will, but not everyone can be a Marine and don't you ever forget it! Semper Fi, Do or Die!
Semper fidelis sir. I'm 64 and remember my experience 46 years ago (1977) very well and retired a 1st Sgt. I have a son who's in his 7th year, and a Sgt now, serving with 1stMarDiv at Camp Pendleton, where I served a majority of my career, and live in San Diego now. I suspect you had your 'fun' with those sand fleas at PI, didn't you?
As I was boarding the bus for ITR at Camp Geiger, I took one last look at the Parade Field. There was a platoon of new recruits being run by their D.I. Several were on the ground from exhaustion. As the D.I. ran the platoon in the direction of the fallen recruits, the last words I heard before the bus driver closed the doors were "This time you better step on those people!" Good bye P.I.
I’ve been through this exact same thing 39 Years earlier at mcrd San Diego and was stationed at Camp Pendleton with the first marine division Semper fi carry on
Im a Flight Sergeant in the RAF Air Training Corps. Whatever branch you are in you have 100% of my respect. No matter whether its navy, army, marines or air force you are committing yourself for your country and family.
He is currently a JROTC instructor at John Marshal High School in San Antonio Texas, the funny part is I was in that JROTC but I graduated and he replaced one of the JROTC instructors. I met the guy and he's pretty chill and funny because he was telling me his stories on how he had a conference with the other instructors and he asked them "How many are suicidal?" regarding how many recruits wanna leave the training😆
+dt l You're amazing then, I don't understand like 90% of what he's saying. "Sjblisbglksgb asgfnfgònagbiagbisabi knowwhati'msaying?" "dkjbsgiosgbpgafngmaigdhughaguhd do it now." "idsudfgmafugphng, jangpu9hgami, èigadfègadfgi LISTEN UP!"
If there is anything that can be given great props to the D.I. is how perfectly well their uniforms are on. Absoultely perfect. It looks practically sprayed on. They must know a lot of tricks to get cloth to look perfect all the time.
Yes, there are 'tricks' that we all know about. For starters, they are tailored to fit correctly, then there are 'shirt stays' that pull their shirts down and make it tight-fitting. Those shirt stays are elastic straps that attach to the bottom of the shirt and connected to the top of their socks pulling their shirts down. Some will wear a rubber belt-like strap inside around the waist (under the trousers) to keep it 'bloused' or tight around their waist. Ribbons are placed correctly above the left breast pocket and their 'covers' (campaign hats) are worn a specific way, tilted a little to the front.
+Adonis Guy I would argue that it's hard even for native English speakers. Heck, it took me a whole three minutes before realising that this guy WAS speaking English.
The most frightening moment wasn't this for me. Honestly this was the welcome part because it meant I was getting to day 1 of training. For me it was the layover in Charlotte, NC. Nothing but time to consider the decision, the stress, states away from everything and everyone i ever knew. Watching the sun go down knowing a long night was coming......the absolute worst
6:35 "YOU'RE DONE! YOU'RE DOOOOONNNNNEEE!!" *starts to walk away but realizes there was no response. Aggressively steps back.* "AYE-AYE SIR!!!" *scared everyone so bad that they all responded*
It's Me
And then the leader changes his voice mid sentence just afterwards. Somewhere around 6:43 .....
Then 7:30 all you can hear is “YOU’RE DONE!!” Haha
It's Me he should’ve known by that time that literally after everything the DI says you best respond
That's the accurate response. The platoon begins to respond as one.
I don't think I've ever seen a shirt more perfectly fit a human being.
🤣🤣🤣
I almost think he had it tailored to fit his rock hard bod.
Shirt stays
I think the shirt is scared of getting wrinkled lol
The only bad thing is tight shirt stays make you hunch forward much like this guy's posture at times.
this guy was my DI in 2008, we were his first company. He definitely appears to have gotten better at the job!
He was my roommate at Camp Lejeune when we were Corporals. He was a beast then.
The man has made himself a legend I see

I read this the moment he said it.
The way he crumbled it up and chucked it is priceless 😂
I stood on the Yellow Footpints and thought "Oh my God, what have I done!" Anyone else have the same thought at that moment?

I knew some shitbag leaders when I was in the Army but myself and others around my rank treated our lower enlisted with the same respect as we gave the Sergeant Major.
Otter Green that is so much bullshit. Get real
He was a PFC boot lmao he just said sorry out of habit lmao
I appreciated the very clear instructions. It was very satisfying to be prepped for what you're about to do in very clear commands before you do it, so you can all execute the move together in one swift motion. When I was in boot camp, I didn't feel lost, I always knew what I needed to do. It was the first time in my life I felt I could accomplish anything.
Because your one of the many who can’t think for themselves but have to have to feel the security of knowing that someone is barking it to you within the hierarchy of a military structure. The type that thrives on having someone else tell them what to do. Like so many of the braindeads of todays society. Another robot.
There was a Marine Corps video where the drill instructor was yelling at a recruit wearing a T-shirt that said pain is weakness, leaving the body. The drill is gonna keep saying I want it. I want it now intensity hurry up. Does anybody have that video? Please send it to me. It’s funny as hell.
10 AUG. 1965....Ya gotta love these Admin. Instructors. We as well, stood before a wooden bench. We were handed a cardboard box. You stripped down , placed everything in that box. You sealed that box and addressed it to your home.
You were then issued a pair of skives , T-shirt , socks, BDU's and our favorite....The old `Yellow` sweat shirt. Then you received a wonderful `Aluminum bucket` , accompanied with a pack of clothes pins & scrub brush. Going back a little , we were brought in to MCRD in a covered 6X...so you didn't know how ya got there or where ya were.
We spent "I believe" Ha ha...2 days in that barracks , then marched to our proper platoons at our Quonset huts.
8 weeks later we graduated from boot camp & went to Camp Pendleton for I.T.R & A.C.T. for 4 weeks. Home for a week....Then to staging for Vietnam. We did in 12 weeks , what they now do in 16 weeks. This was due to needing replacement Marines in Nam. By Feb. 1966 ( 2 1/2 months in country) I was 12th senior man in my company , I was told to take my R & R then or loose it. My platoon consisted of....My squad 2 of us....1st squad 6 men....3rd squad 3 men. 4th squad was gone. This was by June 1966. By the end of Oct. 1966 , I had been standing in one spot to long , bad hair day. MediVaced out. 18 months later & 21 operations , released from hospital to Marine Re-hab Company. 1 Jan 1971....Med. Retirement.
As Archie Bunker would say, "Those were the days my friend" !
First off, thank you for you service and sacrifice. Secondly, ignore the negative comments that have an obvious political agenda, or are just bored people " trolling " for an angry reaction from you and others like you that have served. Those people don't seem to understand they wouldn't have the ability to make absurd comments online if it were not for men/woman like you. Thank you.
Stfu dude
7:30 That, “YOU’RE DONE! in the background kills me lol
That cracks me up every time.
What's funny about being an older guy who's been through it as a kid I actually feel bad for the DI's. Tedious work especially for the guys who are on duty to fill in on arrival night. They have to go through this organized stupidity they've seen a million times and keep up the orchestrated intensity.
+Robert “TangFiend” James In other words, they get to start the very significant change at the very beginning. Honestly, I'd imagine DIs say that's one of their most favorite aspects of the job. If they see transitioning civilians into Marines as tedious, I seriously don't think they'd last long as DIs. A passion for the transformation is essential to do this, day in/day out, I'd imagine.
Numinous
True enough, very true
Paris Island - 23 May 1986
Numinous true, but everything gets old when you do it every day
Oh, I don't feel sorry for the poor babies. They're enjoying the respect and they get paid.
I admire the Drill Instuctors ability to create CHAOS.
And to keep up the intensity after doing it for over and over is impressive too.
Controlled chaos is good. Combat chaos is not.
6:58 Is this some form of identification? It looks like a DRIVER'S LICENSE!!! IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO IN THE FREAKIN' BAG!! PICK IT UP, PUT IT IN THE BAG!
My favorite part. A close second being 6:35, "YOU'RE DONE! YOU'RE DOOOOONNNNNEEE!!" *starts to walk away but realizes there was no response. Aggressively steps back.* "AYE-AYE SIR!!!" *scared everyone so bad that they all responded*
Not everyone. But yes, that was funny as hell too.
LMFAO best part of the Video -Semper Fi
So this is what my little brother Loren went thru. I would not have been so brave. Lol... Thanks to all news recruits and veterans for their service. 👍👏🙏 prayers for you all on journey.
"You have 40 seconds..." 10 seconds later... "YOU'RE DONE!"
Guy around 11:00 had the bag under his right arm, he got lucky on that one.
lavixl that was his left arm buddy 😂😂
xKonceiitedx Gaming that’s his right
BOI you clearly see that’s his left arm
xKonceiitedx Gaming he was talking about the war bag not the white net bag thing. If you know your rights from left you would also know the DI specifically states on your left arm up to your shoulder like you’re carrying a purse and he was carrying the war bag on his right not his left. Last I checked your right arm is your 3 o’clock and your left is your 9. 9:25 if you click that time stamp you can see the DI lifting up and showing his left arm as an example so they understand.
9:16 Hanging across your body like you are freaking Rambo, holy shit this Drill Instructor is awesome
I love this video. The dedication and passion for training those recruits comes through. To mold Marines and to not dishonor the Veterans and the fallen Marines abd their families. There is a level of respect, tradition, and dedication that must be reached in order to attain that title.
I went through Air Force basic training in the 70's and Officer Training School in the 80's. Both were tough programs; lots of drop outs; however, there was a lot less screaming by our instructors. These recruits when they graduate will turn out to be dedicated, loyal Marines - willing and able to defend the country. To all my fellow military members - as well as their families - Happy Independence Day holiday. Be well and stay safe.
I went thru USAF boot camp in 1965...July. We had three DI's..the first one got moved, the second one lost his fucking mind aand the last one paid little attention to us. It was really weird. Our yellow rope and whistle was from a military school..he basically trained us inasmuch as marching and bed making, UCMJ ETC.. .. that kinda thing..we had a lot of drop outs too...about 25 percent of our boot camp group lost it...went awol, got sick..got hurt..lost their fucking minds cause they were afraid they were going to Viet Nam..me, I'm 17 and knew better..your chance of going to Nam was based solely upon your AFSC..you couldn't make some of the idiots understand. Boot camp was like boy scout camp..it was a big nothing.
@@sandman93449dm - many things in life are nothing! Welcome to 'merica!
At 5:45 the one Sergeant kicks a manila folder, not seeing the Marine coming around the corner. Can't tell what his rank is but I see a lot of black. Maybe a Master Gunnery Sergeant? Anyhow, you see the Sergeant kinda move his hands in the "oops, I didn't mean to kick that folder at ya, I was going rage mode!" type gesture. Haha!
It was probably the admin chief. Probably a Master SGT.
He's also talking with a recruiter... so probably a MCRD SNCO talking about one of the recruiter's kids in the group
Yeah we know.
"Hang the bag around ur neck like ur fricken Rambo" haha
I remember watching this before boot camp. Fast forward a few years to when I PCSed to 2/8 the SSgt in the very beginning was my company 1Sgt. It truly is a small Marine Corps
I love how fast he counts.
Fairly old video, too. It's crazy to think most of these guys have served and are probably already out of the military. 🇺🇸
"whats this!?"
"AYE SIR"
juamont 10:38 lol
It is I, sire.
Indulging in the pleasurable act of looking at my redde binne.
You heard some funny shit from people in basic
@@Mr.Plight this is boot camp. Once a Marine always a Marine. This is not the Army. Say yes sir.
Outstanding performance by all the DI's especially the highly feared and respected SDI. Recruits need this kind of motivation and resolve to become part of an elite force. Oorah!
I was Navy. 1992 I went to RTC Orlando. I thought football coaches yelled and cursed! Best time of my life! Happy Veterans Day to all who served, and happy birthday to the Marine Corps!
The marine corps is navy.
Hey shipmate. I enlisted in the Navy in 1992 as well. RTC San Diego. Stationed on Coronado (NASNI), on the Kitty Hawk. Hope you are living well, amigo. Thank you for your service.
Look at the red bins, now back to me.
Look at the red bins, now back at me.
I am not that red bin.
I am flipping you off. Wheres the mesh bag its gone i through it ans there is not a damn thing you can do about....wait what!
Then what are you?
You see, Drill Instructor, you're not dealing with the average Recruit anymore.
Maaaan, i am uploading this to my gym playlist!
This guy's voice absolutely pumped me!
respect to those people!
sometimes...things like this give prior service marines a stiffy
:D
@@UTUVISoh helll naw 😭
"Does it sound like I have polyps on my vocal cords?" YES SIR!
I wonder if their voices heal after they stop this duty
The military can offer three necessary benefits as you travel through life: Focus, discipline, and respect. All whom successfully completed their tours have those baked into their lives... forever. Those in this clip are receiving it.
The life of a Drill Instructor is boot camp boot camp boot camp. He or She has no other life, I think it takes a special kind of person to become a drill Instructor
Our DI's told us they were our fathers, our uncles, our mothers. So I always felt like a member of the family.
Seems like a simple life.
Wow........I can only imagine how many of those recruits are thinking "What the hell have I gotten myself into". Takes a unique individual for sure to endure this. Thanks for your service!
Without the pressure nothing would happen in a timely manner..
I love it. USAF Basic training too many years ago at 18. These instructors are doing great work and making men and Marines out of civilians. If you don't understand just why this is they way they do it, just be darn glad there are men who go to defend and serve and you don't have to.
USAF summer camp.
Even though I watched tens of TH-cam videos, and I was so prepared for this moment to be screamed at, when it finally came....... I was so excited and happy I forgot what I watched and just wanted to genuinely expedience what others have experienced before me
I can bet alot that in that moment more than one recruit is thinking to themselves, "WTF did I get myself into," and probably slightly regreting signing up for this in the first place.
Diana Rendon it’s only like this during boot camp. The military is more 9 to 5 than most people realize
Id be lying if I said I didnt...
That is exactly what I was thinking.
but than 10 years later he looks back and says that is the best thing i could had ever done
The only thing that doesn't look right is their heads are not shaved. We stepped off the bus then directly to the barbers chair ....
Motivated brand new recruits. Lot more organized than I remember. They'll be fine
It has been almost 40 years since I left the military. I was never sorry I joined, and I was never sorry I left after 6 years. It was the right decision both times. My time in the service did a lot to help me prepare to face the real world. I would highly recommend it to young people today.
Wh are rhosmea,those, those using
Why are they so mean to those guys by yelling
@@crystalcorker5476 They are NOT being 'Mean' to them. They are putting them under pressure both to evaluate them and to train them to follow orders. Following orders is what the military is all about.
@@gedstrom oh ok. My son is headed for marine boot camp this summer and I being a mother will worry but proud at the same time. I was worried of those sergeants beating him or hurting him. The yelling I know is part of training
@@crystalcorker5476 They are not allowed to strike a recruit. If they do, they themselves are in trouble. The basic issue is that many of these kids have never really been away from home before and their attitudes need to be changed. Marines have always been considered the toughest service. In time of war, they are often the first ones into battle. So their training needs to be the toughest.
Super proud of my son to be one of the best! USMC
Watching this video brings back such fond memories of my experience in boot camp and MCRD San Diego, Platoon 1079, Graduated 29 September 1972. Say what you will, but not everyone can be a Marine and don't you ever forget it! Semper Fi, Do or Die!
I am not in the service but I do agree. Not everybody is fit for the service. But thank you for yours
Literally anyone can be a marine.
This is no doubt what my lil bro is going through right now. I wish you the best of luck!
Is that John Wayne? Is this me?
Who said that? WHO THE FUCK SAID THAT
Kristoff Bjorgman sir no sir
Kristoff Bjorgman SIR IT WAS ME SIR
I got your name! I got your ass! You will not laugh! You will not cry! You will learn by the numbers! I will teach you! Now get up!
RIP Gunny :'(
I'm 83 yrs old and still remember much of what occurred at Parris Island when I was a 17 yr old recruit!
Please tell me... i was not in the service but my little brother was in 06-12
Semper fidelis sir. I'm 64 and remember my experience 46 years ago (1977) very well and retired a 1st Sgt. I have a son who's in his 7th year, and a Sgt now, serving with 1stMarDiv at Camp Pendleton, where I served a majority of my career, and live in San Diego now. I suspect you had your 'fun' with those sand fleas at PI, didn't you?
Turning 60 in January was at MCRD San Diego 3-3-82 and graduated 5-28-82. Platoon 1025, Alpha Company. Then served with 1/7. Semper Fi👍🏾
As I was boarding the bus for ITR at Camp Geiger, I took one last look at the Parade Field. There was a platoon of new recruits being run by their D.I. Several were on the ground from exhaustion. As the D.I. ran the platoon in the direction of the fallen recruits, the last words I heard before the bus driver closed the doors were "This time you better step on those people!" Good bye P.I.
I'm just impressed you know how to use the internet.
I’ve been through this exact same thing 39 Years earlier at mcrd San Diego and was stationed at Camp Pendleton with the first marine division Semper fi carry on
That drill instructor, holy hell hes awesome
He's fucking huge
@@dismayedspecter1631 A BEAST
I wouldn't want to fuck with him
He can command me all he wants.
@@irishnessie u thirsty, lol

@@connerclark3678 in the Navy they give you an extra, in case you lose the first.
Anderson Hailey hahaha
Marines go bearback.
😂😂😂
"Like you're freaking Rambo" best line ever
The voice of the drill instructor in charge makes him so badass :o
This is my old lifting partner and friend in the Corps Brody Goldthwaite. He was goofy but always a motivated dude.
He was one of my instructors at OCS . such a badass.
@@omgitsjakenjames does he still do instructing at OCS?
@@jackandrews7878 Nope, I just found him on LinkedIn. Got out of the Corps a year or so ago
This was my 1st Sgt with Fox Co at 2/8. Man was truly motivated and a beast.
How often did you make love?
Im a Flight Sergeant in the RAF Air Training Corps. Whatever branch you are in you have 100% of my respect. No matter whether its navy, army, marines or air force you are committing yourself for your country and family.
I love the DI at 6:40 when he just scream YOURE DONE YOURE DONE AYE AYE SIR?!?!?!?!?!? and that kid probably pissed his pants haha
“Plane ticket you don’t need it your already here “
YOU'RE DONE!!!! YOU"RE DONE!!!!!
AYE-AYE SIR!!!!!
He is currently a JROTC instructor at John Marshal High School in San Antonio Texas, the funny part is I was in that JROTC but I graduated and he replaced one of the JROTC instructors. I met the guy and he's pretty chill and funny because he was telling me his stories on how he had a conference with the other instructors and he asked them "How many are suicidal?" regarding how many recruits wanna leave the training😆
They are easy to understand. Much easier than most college professors speaking softly and clearly.
"DOOONE. YOURE DONE...... AYE AYE SIR." my favorite part lmao
I don't understand like 35 percent of the things he says sigh
+dt l Good thing you weren't there, then LOL ;-)

5:25 “I am not your mom! I am not your dad! You will scream at the top of your lungs! Do you understand?” “Yes sir!”
If there is anything that can be given great props to the D.I. is how perfectly well their uniforms are on.
Absoultely perfect. It looks practically sprayed on.
They must know a lot of tricks to get cloth to look perfect all the time.
Yes, there are 'tricks' that we all know about. For starters, they are tailored to fit correctly, then there are 'shirt stays' that pull their shirts down and make it tight-fitting. Those shirt stays are elastic straps that attach to the bottom of the shirt and connected to the top of their socks pulling their shirts down. Some will wear a rubber belt-like strap inside around the waist (under the trousers) to keep it 'bloused' or tight around their waist.
Ribbons are placed correctly above the left breast pocket and their 'covers' (campaign hats) are worn a specific way, tilted a little to the front.
First thing I noticed. It fits to a T with military prevision with no creases.
Meanwhile in U.S Army...."Please hurry up guys"
Yeah no shit! Lol
you mean airforce
hahah
croc no the air force is "take your time guys"
fʋck You hahah oh yeah thats right XD , airforce they bring there food to them on silver plates and fancy chefs
My favorite of the DI’s in the training library we have on TH-cam.
it must be scary and hard for a fob recruit whose first language isn't english. 😨
+Adonis Guy I would argue that it's hard even for native English speakers. Heck, it took me a whole three minutes before realising that this guy WAS speaking English.
MordredMS it's even harder for a fob recruit!
Adonis Guy I had to through that when I went to boot camp in 1999
Adonis Guy kamusta ka
I think it's actually was it for them, because they are naturally used to paying caerful attention to what's being said to them.
"YOU MOVE AT ONE SPEED THAT IS MY SPEED GOT IT"
"You have 50 seconds! Do it now!"
Marine time is much faster than our regular clocktime.
Much respect to the DI giving the orders. I was always wondering how drill instructors of all branches uniform be soo crisp and squared away
“GO AWAY!
*goes away*
COME BACK!
*comes back*
WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?!?”
That's really common.
Man, he has an awesome commanding voice! Respect from AF
6:18, “I don’t care if it’s a freaking library card.” 😆😆
The most frightening moment wasn't this for me. Honestly this was the welcome part because it meant I was getting to day 1 of training. For me it was the layover in Charlotte, NC. Nothing but time to consider the decision, the stress, states away from everything and everyone i ever knew. Watching the sun go down knowing a long night was coming......the absolute worst
That drill sergeant's shirt is crispy as phuck
*drill instructor
You must remember the Corps does NOT have drill sergeants! Drill Instructors!
All of their uniforms are damn impeccable. I look like a dried apricot in my dress shirts.
Rodrick Evans: I'm sorry I triggered you so badly lmao
oh the memories ... love it .. best 6 years of my life from boot camp to the 15th MEU.
I'm going to MEPS tomorrow.
Good luck!
They are going to disipline the shit out of you
Well, that's good!
I made it through MEPS btw
Josiah Göring Congrats bro
Turn on your Closed Captioning and let the fun begin😂😂
I’m about to watch it now 😆
I wonder if that DI ever got that jugular vein distention checked out...
Aaahhhh. Memories. It's the most fun you never want to have again.
Had this guy for OCS, funniest guy Ive ever met after he kicks your ass enough.
They've only been there a few minutes, but already getting in sync with their responses. Good kids
Oh the memories. I can still feel the love! :P
You got 40 seconds -- Did I say go? XD
I miss the Marines! This video brings a smile to my face
The scariest part is not knowing the shit they just yelled at you
"Why are you standing here?"
"AYE-AYE, SIR!"
"Uh, sir, where do I place my copy of The Economist?" LOL.
7:30 YOU'RE DONEEEE!!
