I had a drill SGT who would never tell. And he made it very clear the first day. But he would smoke the life out of us. He would do it in the most calm manner. We would actually prefer the ones who screamed at us because he was more like a psycho. He was just calm collected and brutal. I don’t think ever once did he yell at us ... but man did he have some fire in his eyes. I had another drill SGT who was special forces commando he was the nicest man in the whole batallion. Same thing. That guy would never yell ñ. He was always smiling. And he would be open to answer any questions we had in our off time and talk to us down to earth. But when it was time for work he would f’ you up. People respected him though a lot. Nobody wanted to f’ up with him because he was so nice to us. He gave us a lot of freedom. But if you fucked up you lost your freedoms and prívelages. He just sent several guys to the hospital as a heat cats. Amazing drill SGT. From him I learned the art of being hard on yourself and kind to others.
No it's not. I work at a school as a janitor where even if I felt like it I could kick a door like that open. I just don't because there is no need to. He could of pushed thay door hard enough to get the same effect.
Drill Instructor. In the USMC their equivalent of a Drill Sergeant. It's Drill Instructor NEVER call a DI a DS. They WILL mess you up 💀 I saw it happen to many recruits in my platoon back in training
That moment when you say “I” instead of “this recruit” in front of the drill instructor too many times: SKUZZ BRUSH ONLINE, that fat one didn’t make it! bulkhead!, DROP SKUZZ
@@zesargeantwinter5939 I did that ONCE and it was BEFORE I even got to boot camp. I was about to get into the car of the Staff Sergeant as he asked me a question. I said. "I don't.." All I heard was "Drop and give me 20 push ups!" Yeap... That mistake was never made again.
@@liljohn3152 for my cycle, most of them were there 24/7, but all of them would go home on sundays except for two - one drill sergeant for each platoon. (We we’re a small company with only two platoons.) We had some drill sergeants who had other important business throughout the week, so they would leave and we would have a other drill sergeants stay back. For the most part though, they are there 24/7 all the time. A lot of them are in college so they will have some time to do class work and get away from the trainees for a while. TLDR: mostly yes, there are some exceptions though.
Dude drill sargeants can do what they want, if they want to kick a door they can, they won't get disaplined for it. They just can't touch the recruits.

My eldest brother was a DI at Parris Island in the mid 60's, until Vietnam took him from us. I remember him wearing his cover when we visited him and his family in Beufort.

My old drill sgt put up his round brown for a bit and ended up in my unit. It was so hard for me not to shit myself when I saw him and came up to me. But he was super chill. Even still though it was hard for me to be relaxed around him. It did make me feel pretty good knowing that he recognized me from AIT, (and not for any specific bad reasons) despite having probably trained hundreds of others over the course of his DS time. I'll never forget when we had a shitty ass ruckmarch and run, and I could tell he must have drawn the short stick because he ended up being the one that had to come in early and wake us up and lead us on the run while the other drills got to sit in their cars to pick up any heat cats. At the end of the ruck run we were all visibly fucked up, exhausted and he was sitting near me while we ate our MREs, looking visibly upset. I gave him my skittles and he gave me his jalapeño cheddar cheese, and I just said "Drill sgt, I don't know how you deal with this, I mean I know we got it bad because we get smoked and stuff, but you gotta wake up before us, do all the same shit as us, and then go to bed after us... and if we aren't out in the field, you can't even eat around us. Then you gotta deal with all the dumb bullshit from kids who got raised wrong, and people like me who never shut up... I'll push if I need to, I just wanted to say I respect the hell out of you."

As an Army brat, my heart hurts with pride every time I see these brave men and women train!! God Bless America!!🇺🇸🇺🇸 I became a LEGAL immigrant 70 years ago right after my American Army Dad and right after WWII, came to England to get me and my Mom!!I I have been blessed to have traveled world wide and I promise you that there is only one country as great as America!!🇺🇸🇺🇸
My dad is a drill sergeant, he’s the most funny loving person I know. But…. One time I went to army drill with him or whatever it’s called and he was frickin terrifying like Jesus dude how does your throat not hurt- he was literally mean for no reason at all, picked someone to target for the whole weekend and basically bullied him. And the bathrooms were really dirty.
My BIL was DS... His boys, my nephews are the best, well rounded, intelligent, caring, girl dads in the world. He helped a lot of young men who didn't come from stable homes. He WILLED these men to succeed.... He knew they could make a life in the military. Not have to repeat that cycle. He understood that this was the ONLY OPTION for some. I love & respect that man...
My ex went to Ft. Jackson. Always called it relaxing Jackson. While my ass was at Ft. Lost in the damn woods. Thankfully I'm at home in the woods. Fuckin loved it.
I went to Jackson in the summer/fall of ‘81. I really loved the hot and humid weather. We had a lot of wet bulb category 4 days where training stopped. Hurricanes were fun. Sweat outside all day, inside the barracks freezing cold, so many people myself included had really bad chest congestion. Other than that it was very relaxing.
Alpha 1/48 here. Was in Leonordwood summer of 2012 myself, will never forget that place or the folks I trained with. Those thunder & lightning storms were something else. God speed battle
Delta 35th. Combat Engineers. I assume they gave yall the old marines died in th3 woods crossing the white cross. Yeah I got lost the whole time and the DS were up top watching us get lLos. Fun times. We made it back by jumping on the road. They said find your way back, but he didn't say we couldn't use the road to navigate back.
@@TONYKG300 My Ex always referred to it as relaxing Jackson. But was a 92A. She always called herself a paper pusher. I still have respect for anyone that joins any branch of the military, no matter your M.O.S.
At Benning…..it’s not the same. I found my rack destroyed, because the recruit across from my bunk left his wall locker unlocked. My platoon corrected that recruit that night.
The entire wall locker had to be locked? At Air Force only our bottom “personal locker” had to be padlocked. The rest on top, where our uniforms and common stuff were, were all unlocked and subject to inspection anytime. We used to have a Button Fairy who would unbutton our hanging Display Uniform a few times. Never did catch who it was.
I loved boot camp. It made me realize that I could do more than I thought and that I could change to become the best of me. That drive carried into my civilian life that carried my career to become a strong leader in business and help others achieve success. Thank you, US military. You made me a humble, strong, and caring leader.
I LOVED boot camp too. Best time of my life besides Ranger School. I know I musta been ate up with it but I had something to prove to myself. I know where you are coming from brother
The ability to adapt, improvise, and overcome is the most valuable thing I have ever learned. Through the trials of adversity we become the greatest versions of ourselves. Without that I wouldn’t be where I am today. Infantry leads the way!
I was in bootcamp circa 2003. My heavy was outside by their car with their wife. He was playing with his baby girl making her laugh with a big smile on his face. I saw this when I was taking the trash out. He snapped his head 720 degrees and gave me that “I’m gonna kill you” look. Later when we were all on line he walked by and gave that same look. Never told anyone what I saw till I left PI😂 later ran into him in camp fallujah during the 2004 novemeber push. He was a gunny by then. Outstanding dude. Whorley was his last name. Asked me how my family was, he spent 10 minutes talking to my dad during family day. Dad was prior DI. It’s a small world in the marines.
It ' s been sometime since I left my office today near my anniversary I have a feeling of great happiness that all of my days was filled of heart felt contentment I was so doing the best for myself that I never been uneasy in such a way that tough work of mine was done . 👑👑👑
Could be the end or toward the end of basic. We wore our berets about a week and a half left. This was 2008 though. AIT used to have DS then they didnt and a few years back they added them back in. You really dont wear your beret while active anymore, it's been PC's for so long even when I was in they stopped beret and was full on PC cap. You wore your beret if you were airborne, ranger, or SF while in A's or B's though.
Went to BCT in 2015, we wore our berets for the entire week before family day/graduation to break them in and keep them shaped. Individual experiences vary, of course.
Update: As of September 2022, trainees are still told to wear their berets after the Forge instead of their PCs. Source: A graduate of Fort Jackson's Alpha Co 3-13 on Sept 15 2022.

I can imagine a scene in a comedy war film where the drill sargeant is outnumbered and injured, but he manages to slowly crawl to and grab his hat during a villains monologue in time to transform into his drill sargeant form.
Aka Self Delete Watch. I used to think it was fire guard myself, until a friend of mine walked into the Head and dude was trying to off himself. Far more frequent an occurrence than fire or fire.
Is funny how some people say that easy Jackson is there just for you have fun, etc. I went there in 2010 and nothing about easy or relax. We only had one phone call a week, literally 5 mins. with the D.S. next to you with the timer, sleepless nights, A LOT OF 01:00-02:00 smoking sessions. It was a really tough experience but a needed one to built that soldier character/tough mentality and I'm grateful I went through all that hardship that made me the person I'm today. Army Strong baby. 🔥💪
@brycewalker709 Only on Sundays, IF the we earned it for 5 mins. with the DS next to you. As soon as you pick up the phone, time started, doesn't matter if someone answered or not. (Pay-Phone)
Being infantry, I remember our DS's being hard as fuck until we had first aid training. A few of them started telling us stories about when they had to administer first aid on past deployments before the medics could arrive. They became more soft spoken and stressed the reason why they were so hard on us. My view of DS's changed after that day. And then when we graduated, they congratulated us and spoke to us like we were humans. It's a tough job. Glad I never had to do it.
Everyone in this country needs to serve in the military .no exceptions. Hup to straighten up and fly right! Maggot's!. Say's this Navy veteran.🇺🇸⚓ won't be so darn quick to throw the country under the bus
My aunt was one and she kept our house her three boys and me in line. I can still make a bed that a quarter can bounce off and make my bathroom sparkle. 😂 Miss you Aunt S! RIP❤
Maybe in today's times I went in back in the 80s. You cannot treat a man to kill as a soldier with your gloves off-you have got to be hard, which is what these children of today's times the younger generation are missing,. DISCIPLINE GOD DAMN IT !!!!¡!!!!---
@@tkso.philly-7868 Exactly. Being the military tends to recruit a lot of people who seek a "better option" in life, it makes no sense to remove discipline from the equation. DIs should be able to smoke the recruits whenever they want at will (sand pit/ incentive training). And recruits should be afraid of making mistakes and if they do, they should pay for it and be humiliated in front of the platoon, yelled at and made to do push ups until they are ready to pass out and still be pushed past the point of exhaustion. It is a different military now and a lot of people miss out on this opportunity to better themselves. To handle a weapon and develop combat discipline involves the need to be toughened beyond what you think you can handle. What happens now when you leave your rifle unaccounted for will reflect if you leave your weapon unaccounted for on the battlefield. You cannot be trusted.
Our DS would make it seem like they were looking for something or someone and they kept going in and out and we would have to call at ease like a million times 😂
I remember that drill sergeant he was not my platoon but I stayed in his platoon barracks so I saw him everyday during basic . He caught us with contraband and someone had a loaf of bread and a lot more and him a another drill sergeant smoke the life out of us. They took us to the” beach” lol only a few people know what the beach is but I had a good time in basic 😂
LOL...I swear my drill sergeants took lessons from gunnery sergeant Hartman. Got the steel pot slapped off my head on a couple of occasions, but damn they were good people!
I remember being a young Devil Dog in Aberdeen,MD newly graduated from boot camp and at my MOS school in 2004! Stood in the chow hall next to one of these guys and damn near lost my shit until I quickly realized it wasn’t a Drill Instructor. PPPPWOOOO I thought I was having a sudden flash back
God i wish i could have gotten passed boot camp without my asthma medication. But i understand why clearly. Just was something thst always crushed me. My family has multiple marines army and such it was my dream and unfortunately it will always be

Hard to believe that Bob Ross went from screaming DS to a soft-spoken painter.
Holy shit. Drill Sgt. Young. I hope you made warrant officer now. You were cool and you made sense. Godspeed man

Wait, was he trying to raise his asvab scores because he wanted to go warrant and fly Kiowa's? If so I think we had the same guy.
God bless you Drill Sergeant! You bring back great memories of my time in the UNITED STATES ARMY! THANKS!
My dad is a drill sergeant, he’s the most funny loving person I know. But…. One time I went to army drill with him or whatever it’s called and he was frickin terrifying like Jesus dude how does your throat not hurt- he was literally mean for no reason at all, picked someone to target for the whole weekend and basically bullied him. And the bathrooms were really dirty.
Recruit: " hey why do I hear dark souls boss music."
drill Sargent: just breathes
My BIL was DS... His boys, my nephews are the best, well rounded, intelligent, caring, girl dads in the world. He helped a lot of young men who didn't come from stable homes. He WILLED these men to succeed.... He knew they could make a life in the military. Not have to repeat that cycle. He understood that this was the ONLY OPTION for some. I love & respect that man...
My ex went to Ft. Jackson. Always called it relaxing Jackson. While my ass was at Ft. Lost in the damn woods. Thankfully I'm at home in the woods. Fuckin loved it.
I went to Jackson in the summer/fall of ‘81. I really loved the hot and humid weather. We had a lot of wet bulb category 4 days where training stopped. Hurricanes were fun. Sweat outside all day, inside the barracks freezing cold, so many people myself included had really bad chest congestion. Other than that it was very relaxing.
Alpha 1/48 here. Was in Leonordwood summer of 2012 myself, will never forget that place or the folks I trained with. Those thunder & lightning storms were something else. God speed battle
Delta 35th. Combat Engineers. I assume they gave yall the old marines died in th3 woods crossing the white cross. Yeah I got lost the whole time and the DS were up top watching us get lLos. Fun times. We made it back by jumping on the road. They said find your way back, but he didn't say we couldn't use the road to navigate back.
@@TONYKG300 My Ex always referred to it as relaxing Jackson. But was a 92A. She always called herself a paper pusher. I still have respect for anyone that joins any branch of the military, no matter your M.O.S.
@@bandhead06 Bravo 35th here. I did OSUT for almost 6 months. During 2006 at Ft. LOST IN THE WOODS. It was a blast, literally.
He turn into Superman lol.....that hat gave him "SUPER POWERS" lol 😂🔥🤣💯🎯
I wished I’d seen these before I went to basic, it’d be nice knowing the drill sargs was having fun behind closed doors
It's always fun watching a Drill Sgt get into character!😂🤣
DS Young. I actually had this DS for basic. Actually a pretty cool dude all in all. He led my drill and ceremony team.
At Benning…..it’s not the same. I found my rack destroyed, because the recruit across from my bunk left his wall locker unlocked. My platoon corrected that recruit that night.
Same. If we were a half second too early or too late on calling at ease we were doing pushups.
That recruits name? Leonard Gomer Pyle Lawrence. He runs Hell’s Kitchen these days pestered by super heroes
Nah, that happens other places too 😅
Isn't that harassment? 😂😂😂😂😂
The entire wall locker had to be locked?
At Air Force only our bottom “personal locker” had to be padlocked. The rest on top, where our uniforms and common stuff were, were all unlocked and subject to inspection anytime.
We used to have a Button Fairy who would unbutton our hanging Display Uniform a few times. Never did catch who it was.
You know damn well he was thinking “It’s showtime.” right before he kicked that door
Missed that. Basic, ironically, was my favorite part of my Army career. I can smell the pine sol
I loved boot camp. It made me realize that I could do more than I thought and that I could change to become the best of me. That drive carried into my civilian life that carried my career to become a strong leader in business and help others achieve success. Thank you, US military. You made me a humble, strong, and caring leader.
I LOVED boot camp too. Best time of my life besides Ranger School. I know I musta been ate up with it but I had something to prove to myself. I know where you are coming from brother
The ability to adapt, improvise, and overcome is the most valuable thing I have ever learned. Through the trials of adversity we become the greatest versions of ourselves. Without that I wouldn’t be where I am today. Infantry leads the way!
That's my old basic training unit. Got to love Jackson 1-34
Always forward!
@@andrewmiles3409 hell yeah
A co 1-34
I knew as soon as I heard "Always Forward"
B-Co brought back some memories
his demeaner just snaps once he puts on the hat!
I swear them hats laced. With a substance they turn into a mad person with it on 😂😂😂
I was in bootcamp circa 2003. My heavy was outside by their car with their wife. He was playing with his baby girl making her laugh with a big smile on his face. I saw this when I was taking the trash out. He snapped his head 720 degrees and gave me that “I’m gonna kill you” look. Later when we were all on line he walked by and gave that same look. Never told anyone what I saw till I left PI😂 later ran into him in camp fallujah during the 2004 novemeber push. He was a gunny by then. Outstanding dude. Whorley was his last name. Asked me how my family was, he spent 10 minutes talking to my dad during family day. Dad was prior DI. It’s a small world in the marines.
Wow
I was in platoon 2013 starting Nov. 3rd, 2003. You?
That's cool
That's cool! Thank for your service!
Did he ever make it back?
My PTSD kicking in
Lmao ptsd
From basic? You soft af
PTSD? Concocted by some psychologist REMF.
@mr.spock3335 from standing in the CTA and when they come out having to go to parade rest and saying at ease so on and so forth
We had to yell, "Freeze! Senior Drill Instructor SSGT Pacheco on deck, freeze!"
Every. Single. Time.
That kick would be the scariest part of meeting or seeing a drill sergeant
Damn I know that's fort Jackson when the recruits yelled "always forward DS"😭
Yeah, 1-34 Leyte Dragons I was part of that battalion in basic
Ye I just graduated Eco 1-34 always forward ye?
Relaxin Jackson. Nice.
They said fly to glory. Fort sil lmao
@@hyperactive-jo9xlI was also E 1-34
Oh what a wonderful sound that was!
Miss being on the trail. One of the best times in my career
Wonderful? That shit was WEAK!!
same here 😊
It ' s been sometime since I left my office today near my anniversary I have a feeling of great happiness that all of my days was filled of heart felt contentment I was so doing the best for myself that I never been uneasy in such a way that tough work of mine was done . 👑👑👑
Oh man that "Always Forward" gave me flashbacks.
If they're wearing berets that means they're not in Basic or AIT anymore and thus, the tyranny of the Drill Sergeants IS AT AN END!!!!
This is army tho, unless there's another meaning for AIT and I'm just fucking stupid.
Could be the end or toward the end of basic. We wore our berets about a week and a half left. This was 2008 though. AIT used to have DS then they didnt and a few years back they added them back in. You really dont wear your beret while active anymore, it's been PC's for so long even when I was in they stopped beret and was full on PC cap. You wore your beret if you were airborne, ranger, or SF while in A's or B's though.
Went to BCT in 2015, we wore our berets for the entire week before family day/graduation to break them in and keep them shaped.
Individual experiences vary, of course.
@@simplygarza8511
I remember breaking mine in at my first duty station.
Update: As of September 2022, trainees are still told to wear their berets after the Forge instead of their PCs.
Source: A graduate of Fort Jackson's Alpha Co 3-13 on Sept 15 2022.
Fondest memory in Army, everyone drops what they are doing, jumping and yelling to, At ease!
That hat is like a switch for that man fr fr
The minute an NCO puts on his brown round it puts fear into anyone.
You meas that it puts the Fear of GOD ìnto you and your fellow trainees.
I'M AN OLD SALT BUT THIS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES, BOTH TOUGH AND FUNNY AT THE SAME TIME. MY COMPANY COMMANDERS WE'RE FAIR TO ALL OF US. AS MEN I KNOW IT'S TOUGH ON A DRILL INSTRUCTOR OR A COMPANY COMMANDER. YOU DON'T WANT INCOMPETENT PEOPLE SCREWING UP MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR MILITARY EQUIPMENT OR A US NAVY WARSHIP. THANKS TO MY COMPANY COMMANDERS THAT GOT US THROUGH BOOT CAMP. GOD BLESS YOUR SOULS ON BEHALF OF A GRATEFUL NATION. AMEN!!🙏🇺🇲👍🏻
Sergeant, don’t ever kick my door like that again
Exactly!
Isn’t that dude in the front of the door when it opens the same dude that got caught wearing the 101st patch 😂
Always carrying shit.
The kid is in my unit lol
lmaooo i remember seeing that. hilarious
also good catch haha
😂
@rafigutierrez4708 can imagine he's space cadet
I swear DI’s online are some of the biggest boots in the military… but still gotta love ‘em
I can imagine a scene in a comedy war film where the drill sargeant is outnumbered and injured, but he manages to slowly crawl to and grab his hat during a villains monologue in time to transform into his drill sargeant form.
I just kept my head low and did what needed to be done . In the 80s for a women it wasn’t easy moSt places lol
TYFYS
Thank you for serving especially when the military was less welcoming of women. ❤
@@nikicarrie4071 Not even worth it to spell it out, huh?
Bro kicked the door like he was the new John wick😂
That’s definitely no Marine Corps boot camp. Those kids seems way too comfortable
Definitely not Marines, for sure.
That hat must be equal power to the Thanos glove lol
One of the funniest parts was people saying “at ease” in their sleep while I was on fire guard 😂
Aka Self Delete Watch.
I used to think it was fire guard myself, until a friend of mine walked into the Head and dude was trying to off himself.
Far more frequent an occurrence than fire or fire.
Is funny how some people say that easy Jackson is there just for you have fun, etc. I went there in 2010 and nothing about easy or relax. We only had one phone call a week, literally 5 mins. with the D.S. next to you with the timer, sleepless nights, A LOT OF 01:00-02:00 smoking sessions. It was a really tough experience but a needed one to built that soldier character/tough mentality and I'm grateful I went through all that hardship that made me the person I'm today. Army Strong baby. 🔥💪
I was at Jackson in 81'. Under Vietnam vet Drill sergeants. That shit was brutal. Jackson was anything but easy. Recruits got it made today!
You had phone calls?
@brycewalker709 Only on Sundays, IF the we earned it for 5 mins. with the DS next to you. As soon as you pick up the phone, time started, doesn't matter if someone answered or not. (Pay-Phone)
Being infantry, I remember our DS's being hard as fuck until we had first aid training. A few of them started telling us stories about when they had to administer first aid on past deployments before the medics could arrive. They became more soft spoken and stressed the reason why they were so hard on us.
My view of DS's changed after that day. And then when we graduated, they congratulated us and spoke to us like we were humans. It's a tough job. Glad I never had to do it.
I dunno why all these military related videos are popping up on my recommendations all of a sudden but I'm with it lol
Ex Navy here thank you all for your service and dedication I appreciate all the brave military men and women in all the branches
Puts on the hat
"IT'S SHOWTIME!"
Kicks open the door
Facts 😅
Everyone in this country needs to serve in the military .no exceptions. Hup to straighten up and fly right! Maggot's!. Say's this Navy veteran.🇺🇸⚓ won't be so darn quick to throw the country under the bus
My aunt was one and she kept our house her three boys and me in line. I can still make a bed that a quarter can bounce off and make my bathroom sparkle. 😂 Miss you Aunt S! RIP❤
My heart would always drop when a DI was in the room and another DI would walk in.
That door closure serves no purpose💀
TRADOC be like;
"That's too extreme."
Screw them and their kindness. Thet are training lil beepitches.
Maybe in today's times I went in back in the 80s. You cannot treat a man to kill as a soldier with your gloves off-you have got to be hard, which is what these children of today's times the younger generation are missing,. DISCIPLINE GOD DAMN IT !!!!¡!!!!---
@@tkso.philly-7868 Exactly. Being the military tends to recruit a lot of people who seek a "better option" in life, it makes no sense to remove discipline from the equation. DIs should be able to smoke the recruits whenever they want at will (sand pit/ incentive training). And recruits should be afraid of making mistakes and if they do, they should pay for it and be humiliated in front of the platoon, yelled at and made to do push ups until they are ready to pass out and still be pushed past the point of exhaustion. It is a different military now and a lot of people miss out on this opportunity to better themselves. To handle a weapon and develop combat discipline involves the need to be toughened beyond what you think you can handle. What happens now when you leave your rifle unaccounted for will reflect if you leave your weapon unaccounted for on the battlefield. You cannot be trusted.
@@yechezkelmendoza5698 hey brother very well put very well said God bless you and all of us-----
Yeah. Extremely weak.
Oh how I miss it all. “This we will defend” 🗣️ carry on
I’m always amazed by how military people can make something as simple as opening a door into the most badass thing ever.
Our DS would make it seem like they were looking for something or someone and they kept going in and out and we would have to call at ease like a million times 😂
I remember that drill sergeant he was not my platoon but I stayed in his platoon barracks so I saw him everyday during basic . He caught us with contraband and someone had a loaf of bread and a lot more and him a another drill sergeant smoke the life out of us. They took us to the” beach” lol only a few people know what the beach is but I had a good time in basic 😂
He was my SDS I think. DS Johnson?
My heart still speeds up a bit when I see a DS walk in a doorway lol
i can still hear drill sgt Swanson more than 20 years later...."carry ooonnnnnn"
DS: Weakly kicks open the door.
DI: Appears out of thin air. When everyone's guard is down.
Drill Sergeants are remembered forever
I wonder the amount of doors they have to replace every year from them kicking the doors so much
That guy with the bin is probably like: god fucking damnit
Walks in like a rockstar lmao
I only got to wear the beret for graduation and inside the bay if u wore it anywhere else you look dumb
Not like they have a choice
Not if you were airborne
this gave me flashbacks i did not want to remember😂😂
Drill sergeant young right there. Can still hear him to do this day "Trainees, it's a good day out, the sun is shining, we're doing some PT!"
LOL...I swear my drill sergeants took lessons from gunnery sergeant Hartman. Got the steel pot slapped off my head on a couple of occasions, but damn they were good people!
Damn you should see the reaction at Parris Island. This looks like band camp.
That singing is completely unacceptable at Parris Island.
Tbf I’m sure this DS was clowning and they knew lol. The berets show they were probably about to be done w basic
I remember being a young Devil Dog in Aberdeen,MD newly graduated from boot camp and at my MOS school in 2004! Stood in the chow hall next to one of these guys and damn near lost my shit until I quickly realized it wasn’t a Drill Instructor. PPPPWOOOO I thought I was having a sudden flash back
God i wish i could have gotten passed boot camp without my asthma medication. But i understand why clearly. Just was something thst always crushed me. My family has multiple marines army and such it was my dream and unfortunately it will always be
