- Chief Drill Instructor Staff Sergeant Brody Golthwaite gives direction to a group of new recruits. WOAI's Steve Soliz shot the video at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, California.
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.
11:40 “Plane ticket, you don’t need it! You’re already here!” HAHAHAHA
11:44 And then “AYE” as he nicely flings something else along with a WTF hand raised.
I read this the moment he said it.
"Is this a form of identification?"
"Yes sir."
*Rage mode activated*
"IT LOOKS LIKE A DRIVERS LICENSE! IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO IN THE FRIGGIN BAG!"
LMAO gets me every time
I was a Drill Sergeant in the Army and sure appreciate all these men do in all branches.
Semper Fidelis men!

@gregweir4072 nobody asked for your resume
@@jeffdur1330What's your resume?
Maybe you can answer this question for me... Why do American Military members want to fight for the Elite Banking Cartel and destroy other countries instead of protecting America from the obvious unconstitutional Tyrannical Rule or even the Invasion that's happening right now.... 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. All the military is doing is pushing the tyrannical governments agenda...
Because old men know each other, young men that don't know each other are killing each other... 🤔
@@LordVader407 my resume is just as irrelevant as anyone else's.
Drill Instructor:WHATYOUGONNADOISYOUGONNAGRABDISBADANDYOUGONNASTICKSOANDSOINTHISBAGYOUUNDERSTANDTHAT
Recruits: YES SIR
Lmaoooo so true!
Me: WHAT?
John Casey Yeah ok...
John Casey Don't worry. There is a team of experts who would help you quickly understand what is being said.
I couldn't
Understand a word he said haha
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’m sure most of them have. 13 weeks later I’m sure you were never more proud of what you accomplished.
YES
I thought damn i fucked up
Yep I sure did
Nope, I said this was the best fucking decision ever !!
That senior looked sharp as hell. Uniform was immaculate.
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?
SanditeSpartan117 YES SIR!
Yes Sir!!!!!!!!!
YES SIR!
Aye Aye SIR!!!
Yes sir!!!!!
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.
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
@@sammiemeade was he a fun guy before di
@@flint9889 I’m sure he’s still a good guy.
was he no good before?
7:30 That, “YOU’RE DONE! in the background kills me lol
My son went through 4 years ago and he said everybody on the bus was crapping their pants knowing what was coming. Once he was in he enjoyed it even though it was tough. He is so proud to be a Marine. Semper Fi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That bus must have really smelled by the time it got to Paris Island.
❤️❤️ that’s awesome
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!
haha wtf
lmfao
Patrick Stephenson CRISS CROSS
Patrick Stephenson. 😂 Best comment I've seen today.. Now scream Aye Aye Sir! 😡
Your genius. I love your comment.
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.
Says the person who identify themselves with a number rather than a name.
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.
When I went back in 2000, there were guys with backpacks and one idiot brought his Nintendo Game Cube lol Drill Instructors freaking lost it!
2102
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.
stopping the draft wasn't the best idea for our country
We got there some time at night and we never went to sleep. That was 1968 for me...Nam Vet Chu Lai 68-69 and 1938 for my dad...WW2 Vet. Sad to say, he never talked about it and he passed before I hit 17, so he never saw me join and we never got to swap Boot Camp stories. Miss you dad.
"You have 60 seconds, DO IT NOW!"
**15 seconds later**
"Five-four-three-two-one you are done, aye-aye sir!"
Lol. Where did the other 45 seconds go?
@@brianelegar3217 I remember they would give us 100 seconds to make our beds but they count so fast it's hard to do. That 100 seconds went by in 30 seconds easy.
Moving as fast as humanly possible might not be fast enough. Tell that to the rounds that you just noticed that are coming in but you are currently preoccupied.
@@brianelegar3217 60 sec means 10 in Marine time.
@@DyspareEmbodied lol. Why not just count the way we do in the Army?
"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
@@sethgordon8954 this is boot camp. Once a Marine always a Marine. This is not the Army. Say yes sir.
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.
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.
This is one of the main reasons I went into the Air Force! God Bless the MARINES!!!
The few…the proud…the Marines
I was in the Navy I thought I had it tough lol
Any branch is badass im in the Army the Marines are hardcore and i have mad respect for marines
You saw all the cute girls at MEPS enlisting in the Air Force and changed your mind, Zack Morris.
@@HueyRocks23Lol all the girls at MEPS were going Marines so fuck it I went Marines.
"You have 40 seconds..." 10 seconds later... "YOU'RE DONE!"
6:18, “I don’t care if it’s a freaking library card.” 😆😆
Turn on your Closed Captioning and let the fun begin😂😂
I’m about to watch it now 😆
"If you have any form of identification...I don't care if it's a freaking library card" hahaha that had me cracking up
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.
I went through in 1983. I would not change anything in my life. Becoming a MARINE was the single most influence in my life and directed me to success. 2/5 & 2/23. 0311. Semper Fidelis.
I went through MCRD San Diego 3-3-82 graduated 5-28-82. Alpha Company 1st Battalion, Platoon 1025 then served with 1/7.👍🏾
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.
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.
Well, the guy in cammies is a Marine already, may even be a SSgt. Of course He is going to show him proper courtesies.
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.
Otter Green that is so much bullshit. Get real
He was a PFC boot lmao he just said sorry out of habit lmao
"Hang the bag around ur neck like ur fricken Rambo" haha
You have 50 seconds do it now! 50,49,48,47,46,45,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 YOU'RE DONE! He skipped like 30 numbers lol 😂
@@LegendaryPkl I agree
Actually, the way you wrote it is 34 numbers skipped.
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.
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 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 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.
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
9:16 Hanging across your body like you are freaking Rambo, holy shit this Drill Instructor is awesome
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.
Sometimes, I regret not reenlisting and spending a few years yelling at other people’s kids.
Semper fi
You should have done one more pump. Things change once you have a little experience under your belt, and get some rank that goes along with that. You know better. Besides you might have enjoyed a "B" billet.

"THAT IS A CONDOM AND YOU WILL NOT USE IT HERE!!!!!" 😂🤣
Anderson Hailey What truly separates the Marine Corps from the Navy...
@@connerclark3678 in the Navy they give you an extra, in case you lose the first.

Marines go bearback.
😂😂😂
That guy in the front with the black shirt fucked up so many times haha
Jastroyer manswer HAHAHAHA i know right HAHAHA
Jastroyer manswer Thats like pretty much every sport or hobby I did In highschool, theres always that one guy that makes you feel extremely competent.
NeckolasBone And gives you some free comedy when the hammer drops on him ha
Jastroyer manswer Yeah that would work out alot of the time and It would be funny, but I had the type of coach that made us do killers because said Idiots don't pay attention. Full team punishment Is a bitch.
NeckolasBone Yup, it's called division IT in the Navy.
Super proud of my son to be one of the best! USMC
"You have 50 seconds! Do it now!"

Man I miss those days!! A lot of Marines might say they hated boot camp but not me. It was some of the worst but best times of my life. There's things and Marines I'll never forget from boot camp. I made some of the best brothers a man could ask for. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Graduated Parris Island Jan. 2006,Plt 2001 Honor Platoon. Senior Drill Instructor SSgt Pheonix,Drill Instructor SSgt Scotese and Drill Instructor Sgt Crosby.
:) I wanna be in the USMC after high school... im just a kid now but wanted to join since I was 4. Any tips that could help me? I still got... 5 or 6 years until imout of high school. anything will help
Garrett Moore
Go to college through the ROTC program, believe me, life as an officer, in any branch, is better than life as an enlisted man.
When you go to boot camp,just make sure you are in somewhat of good shape already cause it'll help. And just do everything you are told to do with speed and intensity and sound off to the top of your lungs and you'll be just fine.
@@garmogarmo4893 Did you join?
I’m guessing you graduated from fox right?
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.
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
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
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.
My favorite of the DI’s in the training library we have on TH-cam.
The first day- When DI’s still
Have voices and the recruits still have a spirit.
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.
"Does it sound like I have polyps on my vocal cords?" YES SIR!
I went through recruit training at MCRD San Diego in '98. Platoon 1108 with Drill Instructors Sgt. Marion Sgt. Mejia and Senior Drill Instructor Ssgt. Clark. I had the lowest physical fitness test score in my platoon the whole time I was on the Depot. Ashamed as I should be but I still love the Corps.
I LOVE IT. WE NEED REAL MEN LIKE THIS MAN NOTHING ELSE. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR THIS COUNTRY ❤️.
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
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
Never gets old
Hes actually being pretty nice to the new recruits....they should feel lucky.
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 ....
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
That drill instructior kills me with his countdown
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
Probably the most badass DI I’ve seen on TH-cam
“GO AWAY!
*goes away*
COME BACK!
*comes back*
WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?!?”
That's really common.
7:30 YOU'RE DONEEEE!!
LMFAO!
8:27 YOU'RE DONE!!
I wonder what did he find, lol.
ChapaNDJ it was a count down and he was still searching
They've only been there a few minutes, but already getting in sync with their responses. Good kids
he's very good i am glad i went through it. at 19 was well worth it.
"Like you're freaking Rambo" best line ever
"YOU MOVE AT ONE SPEED THAT IS MY SPEED GOT IT"
It’s good to see so many recruits with holy bibles.
Shoutout to those who made it through Marine Corps boot camp
You got 40 seconds -- Did I say go? XD
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!
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
This is wild. Watching now this doesn’t seem all that crazy or intense… especially knowing what comes later for these recruits. But in the moment this was one of the craziest things of ever experienced.
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.
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.
He’s the best . No comparison ☺️
This is the true meaning of motivation.
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
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. 🇺🇸
Well done!!! Their heads are spinning, going on TILT, thoughts of, "What in the hell did I myself into?!" Semper Fi.
"Go away, go away now scream aye sir" that had me cracking upppp 😂😂😂😂
"DOOONE. YOURE DONE...... AYE AYE SIR." my favorite part lmao
as recruit for any branch of the military, why on god's green earth would you bring an MP3 player. you're not going to boot camp to have a fucking sleep over. you're going to boot camp to become a young mature adult
Myself and another recruit had a condom in our wallets... the reaction of the DI's was priceless hahhahaha!
Chase Lohmeyer haha so much this
young broken robot*
Chase Lohmeyer no one in my group had that... I was a "straggler" myself and 12 other recruits came late, due to paper work bullshit. It was SOOOOOOO much nicer to be in such a small group.
but in the regular group of the hundreds of marines who came 2 days prior to us there were was a recruit who had USMC tat. He didn't sleep once the entire "receiving week"

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..
As of the current count on Feb 17 2014…I'm wondering what the 368 people who disliked this were thinking this was going to be.
Maybe they didn't understand
Maybe, for whatever reason, they didn't like the video. That would be my guess.
they probably thought the SDI wasn't very nice.
It was Bernie Sanders
Probably dislikes because of what the marine corps has turned into.
The senior is an absolute BEAST!!!!
It's like a very loud and intense version of Simon Says 😆
YOU'RE DONE!!!! YOU"RE DONE!!!!!
AYE-AYE SIR!!!!!
"Uh, sir, where do I place my copy of The Economist?" LOL.
It makes me feel amazing that as an E5, I have twice the ribbons this E6 Drill Instructor has.
Flashbacks... What a great time. I loved it.... (especially now that it's long behind me)
