My basic, as Army was at Fort Knox, graduated on the 6th of May 89! A salute to all of us in all armed forces because we are all part of this country's history! Especially to those who paved our way and those who gave all! Never forget that our survival was paid for with their blood. Never forget our fallen! No matter what branch.
Can I ask what year you attended boot camp? I think I want to join to become tough, but I don't want it to be like what half the Internet is saying "That the standards have dropped and it's too woke".
@@WormSandlejoining to be tough is not the right reason to join first of all. You need a job in the military what is it? Why do you want that job and what will it do for you. Look at the lifestyles in different branches is it what you want. You want something laid back like the AF or something hard like the Marine Corps.
@@TheGoatGrunts Thank you man, yeah I actually wanted to be a 4571 (combat videographer) because I love filming history. And there are other reasons, but that is the main reason I wanna join to be mentally stronger. Thank you for answering I needed this. I think I'll stick to the Corps.
@@WormSandle Mentally stronger there ya go. That’s the answer. Being a Marine is the most honorable yes, but talk to another branch maybe the Navy. See what they have to offer. Want a sign on bonus? The Corps won’t be the right option, but the Corps will change you completely for the better.
Congrats!!! Thank you for answering the call to defend the nation I love. my family Sleeps safe and sound at night because of men and women like you. Be proud.
OMG I'M GETTING FLASHBACKS!!!!! Good 'ol SDI SSGT Ballesteros....DI SGT Barnes.......DI SGT Johnson. 1st Recruit Batt D Co. PLT 1119 NOV 1984 to JAN 1985 SFMF!!!!!!! Wouldn't want to go through it again but I would not trade it for anything in the world. They took 17 year old boy and turned him into a man! Only time I saw my old man cry at my graduation, he was so proud.
At 26 I'm going to follow my calling to the Marine Corps even with a family I want my daughters to see their dad did something not everybody has the courage to do I hope to call Marines everywhere and anywhere I go my brothers and sisters.
yoo im going down there in a week! that female drill instructor had showed up at some event that told poolees and their families about boot camp. shes dope
Wow this brings me back! I see they even brought the old Vietnam-era moonbeams! Good for them! The ones they issued us a few years back were a bit newer smaller LED ones, more expensive and broke pretty easily.
i’m currently losing weight in order to become a marine, are there any tips or notes anyone has for me? becoming a marine is something i’ve wanted to do since i was a kid.
Don't give up on yourself or your team! Always push ahead no matter how hard tired cold etc you are!.... Because in the end it's something you can hold your head high and say you know what I did it I graduated and became a United States Marine oorah!
I ship out Tuesday so this vid helped a lot for what I should expect I can’t wait been my dream since I was 3. Gotta score of 28 after I graduated hs back in 2019, tried again n gotta 32 waisted 4yrs of my life for a girl j for her to say she doesn’t want me in the military even tho it’s my dream. Left her focused on my self took a practice test gotta 34, sat down n forced myself to watch n study grammar hero. Took the test again gotta 51 on the Picat went to verify my score n gotta 60. Haven’t looked back n my whole family came to my swear in at the recruitment office n now I ship out Tuesday n I haven’t felt more commitment, confident, excited, n all in all motivated a day in my life until now. Can’t wait to become a UNITED STATES MARINE🇺🇸🦅🦅DONT GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS….NEVER!!
War is a racket -Smedley Butler usmc turned dissent against rogues, lies of war, propaganda, capitalism greed. Read his book before you enlist. It'll save your life from violence, crime, lie, tyranny, status quo, so called national security, official secrets act that hides propaganda into war like 03 iraq similar to Pentagon Papers fraud into Vietnam.
For my platoon it was mostly knowledge and what your name, birthday, birthplace and MOS was, but you have other drill instructors/officers trying to get you to fuck up sometimes
@@Madvillainy08 considering I was mostly a B student and have been out of school for about 11 years it wasn’t that bad. Just take lots of practice tests w your recruiter. There are only so many questions/ formats so a lot of it becomes memory if you practice enough. I got a 71 today at meps.
@@duped8273I joined after 9/11. I saw a discovery channel documentary before I went in then it was nothing like the real thing. It was a lot worse. The documentary was watered down. The closest documentary I've ever seen to actual USMC boot camp is ears open, eyeballs quick. That gets pretty close.
As odd as it may seem, there is a method to the madness. The DIs are creating chaos and forcing the recruits to function, think, and respond in the midst of it. Think about it: processing information, thinking, strategizing, and decisions have to be made in some of the most extreme conditions (combat). If you think this is intense, think of what it would be like having to make life-or-death decisions while under fire.
I graduated Marine Corps Boot Camp in 1979 and before I die I will make 1 trip back to my Island and salute the flag. I Love My My Marine Corps.

The weird thing is that I couldn’t swim before boot camp and I can barely swim now, but I sure swam during that qual. 😂
How many black people where there that couldn't swim lol jk
Ahh so many emotions... passing the torch to the new generation, Semper Fi !

The Marine Corps will always be my favorite military branch.
Once there, the only real way out is forward. And if you don't get everything done the first time, you can stay there doing it your entire enlistment.
1:03 the crack in his voice
The moment they dropped those uniform items in that bin and filled that laundry bag, I could smell that screen and you did too!! 😂
My Grandson is now in bootcamp 7/16/2024- 10/11/24 Semper fi ❤🤍💙
My son is in there also. Congratulations!!
Mine just left for boot camp. Prayers for all!

By now he’s either quit, or he’s a man now.
@tanneredge9774 he was always a man, we don't quit!! I couldn't be anymore proud of my son!

This was a part of my life I will never regret PISC 2nd BN 1st PLATOON 2052 D Company May 87 to July 87
How many black dudes except you where in your platoon?
Wow this brings me back! I see they even brought the old Vietnam-era moonbeams! Good for them! The ones they issued us a few years back were a bit newer smaller LED ones, more expensive and broke pretty easily.
ah man i had the best IT sessions there, really miss those days on the front quarter deck with my homies getting absolutely destroyed

Update me when your out if you can Semper fi
Been 3 months, how was it?
Good shit
For all the current/former Marines commenting: what were the most common injuries you saw/had during boot camp? (and Thank You for your service).
Ankles
@Premium-Dumb-Ass Damn is this true
I’m highly considering going to Marine bootcamp but have one question and that is how do I understand what some of the DI’s are saying.
this is on a youtube video as well being there in person is definitely gonna be a much different hearing experience.
3:33 He looks like Gary Owens lol
I’d rather have my ex back than be a marine.
It was nearly a year ago
Chin-ups are not pull-ups, pull-ups are much harder
The Department of the Navy stations Marines on ships so that the Sailors have someone to dance with.
4:40 DI in civies? WTF?
wow issued dress blues, 86-92 we had to purchase after grad.
They still have to pay for them. It comes out of their first paycheck.
what do they scream during SDI inspection?
For my platoon it was mostly knowledge and what your name, birthday, birthplace and MOS was, but you have other drill instructors/officers trying to get you to fuck up sometimes
Hey don't yell at me I'm right here 😅 didn't you're mommy tell you it's not polite to point or yell at someone sheesh 😂😂
6:12 No Country for Old Men
Why do the men get buzz cut hair and the women don’t??
Semper Fi oorah! 0311 here 2017 to present
4:40 so they can just do that i thought we treat every marine with respect
Free Clothes.... Pretty Sweet !!
Calmed down for the cameras? Or is this really how PI is these days?
Calmed down slightly, has definitely laxed over the years, but not to this extent you see in documentaries
“Five, FAHRRHR, three, two..”
If I was there I would tell the barber to just take a little off the top and leave the sideburns.
Funny I don't remember it being so relaxed maybe because they film now
I know this is marines, but damn, I wish I was afforded a damn clipboard during land nav keep in mind i'm in the army
7:28 SMIB
I thought Marines were up to 25 years old?! That young dude with the balding hair already 😧
I joined when I was 17 but the oldest you can join is 28.
I think itt 27 right in there
Im 29 bout to get an age waiver and ship 10/28
@007tjv holy crap nice! 3 days before my bday lol. Was the Asvab difficult??

I wanna join the military for fun
1:03:19
Two Female Marines without their Covers on... What's up with that ???
First 78 hours sucks and this old it’s a little bit different now.
I graduated in Sateen's. Gives you an idea of my age
Plot twist this is only one day
The Army Won't Ever Understand. . . Semper Fi
The voice crack at the start-
Good Times
That's alotta hair wow 😂
It is not even like that 😂 must be the Army !!
So your saying it was much tougher than portrayed?

fking hate this island
I go in tommorrow is it that bad?
@@therealchosenoneleo1052No. See you when you are a Marine
WTF happened to Paris Island?..
There are cameras around. 🤷♂️
they need to speak more softly and hand out candy treats
How can anyone learn anything with them screaming in your face
That's the point: they're teaching them how to function under pressure, like in combat.
It works 👍
As odd as it may seem, there is a method to the madness. The DIs are creating chaos and forcing the recruits to function, think, and respond in the midst of it. Think about it: processing information, thinking, strategizing, and decisions have to be made in some of the most extreme conditions (combat). If you think this is intense, think of what it would be like having to make life-or-death decisions while under fire.
Their forms are terrible.
