The jokes about the DIs wanting guys to drown were on point. They wanted a few guys in my platoon to get dropped so bad, trying to get in their heads every second of swim qualification. It was hilarious 😂 they kicked me out of the pool and I didn’t even touch anything. Hard to fool those instructors, they’ll kick you out if they don’t like the way you look 😆
Damn that’s sad. My SDI actually tried to help me swim at the pool bc I struggled to pass. My killhat also made me learn to swim his way instead of letting me fail. My DIs must’ve gave a fuck then
Don't worry about swim Qual. It's not like regular swimming, they'll show you what to do and how to do it..just do it exactly as they show you..and keep a distance from others in the pool, because if someone loses their shit and grabs you and you both sink ..you still fail even tho another pulled you down.
This is really useful and good advice video👍 I’m also a good swimmer, however hearing this video. I’m gonna be more aware and 100% all ears to the swim instructors.
If you're a good swimmer you'll have no problems at all. My high school phys ed teacher was an ex marine so I had a huge advantage. He taught his classes during pool week exactly the same way it was during swim qual. Idk what they call it now but I swam WSQ, the best qual you can get and the DI's never fucked with me again.
Funny stuff. I was an 1803 with a CWS1 qual. Serving as a swim instructor in 2009 at MCRD San Diego was one of the most enjoyable things I ever got to do.
1980. I went to swim call at Paris Island. 150 lbs 30" waist. Negative buoyant, floating on my back, my nose barley poked through the stairs water. Boots and rallies on I still passed.
I failed the thread water the first day. I would have failed the second try, but the swim instructor ignored me when I tried to tap out, but I said forget it and relaxed and passed.
This, is amazing. It's a really nice change on your channel, and you actually have a good sense of humor. Just about everything you did in this video made me laugh, while still telling me like it is. You should do more videos like this, I think it'll be good for you and I loved it.
Did not mean to send that yet, but I think you should have a serious vibe when it's something serious, and then videos like these when it's just what it is
Ima be honest I ship out tomorrow I was going to learn how to swim I enlisted 22 December but no one giving lesson because of Covid then my Recruiters says you leave at the end of this week My IST PULL-UPS: 28 SIT-UPS : 123 RUN 1.5Mile: 10:07 I can’t swim for shit!! It’s the only thing I’m worried about everything else I know I got it NP!
Idk what they call it now but I swam WSQ level 1, the best qual you can possibly get. There were only like 5 of us at the very end out of 3 companies to get it. After that the DI's never fucked with me once. It was smooth sailing til graduation
@@TrelltheGreat I completely panicked lmao🤦🏾♀️because of the jump and it was 16.5 ft water💀🤣so i started shaking but I did get over the fear and i did it eventually.💪🏾thanks to my Captain!
Yes they will teach you certain techniques on how to swim in boot camp but I prefer if you learn them now instead of waiting ...it’ll be easier once you get there ....trust me I’ve been through 13-weeks of hell 😂...
Trell, I’m heading to boot camp next month and was wondering If you could do a vid or a response to the following; I’m 26, went to college was about to graduate but then all this COVID stuff happened I decided to put school on hold and join the reserves. Any advise you Could give to someone like me that joined at an older age than most?
Just make sure you are in good physical shape that's the biggest problem older guys face is that they just can't keep up because some of their bodies have already been through a lot
TuLeaf they didn’t held me back ...they will give you multiple chances to pass it ....so for us it started on a Monday and the last day to pass it was on a Saturday or Sunday ...so therefore Monday and Tuesday I failed the swim qual and Wednesday morning I passed it ...they’ll make sure you pass it tho 👍🏽
TuLeaf yeah don’t worry just don’t give up throughout boot camp training ....the drill instructors will try to get into your mind ...DONT LET IT HAPPEN ! 🙂👍🏽 good luck ! Semper fi !
You will get a nose full of water. Lat one arm across your body and flutter kick until you level out. Frog kick after that and you will begin to ascend to the surface.
Memphis, I have a homework assignment for you: 1. Watch “Heartbreak Ridge” with Clint Eastwood. Observe your “hairstyle” twin-Mario Van Peebles. This Marine movie was made before you were born.
Actually this video made me so negative.. really glad to know all stuff. But my son can’t swim… it’s horrible right? I’m gonna be horrible during my son’s swim week:(
It’s better to learn before hand, Bc the way they teach you in boot won’t be a comfortable learning experience or something you’re used to. So to avoid the alone time with the swimming instructors learn how before!

Very entertaining and informative. More please! 😂

great fun, think you can help out with the insignias, and what they are?
Dude swimming is one of the things I’m most concerned about and this really helped.

Swim qual got me hella nervous
My son just completed swim week, he said he qualified in a day but he also said s&$t got real during that time! The DI’s we’re loving it!
This is really useful and good advice video👍

lit video, jokes are funny asf
No one says lit any more 😂
Oscar Carter it’s not 2016 anymore lmao
Your videos are showing me what my son’s thoughts probably will be. He just arrived yesterday and your videos are keeping me company. Thank you! 🙏❤️🇺🇸
The funniest shit ever that he said “10,9,8,7,6,5 and my ass just blooped” 💯🤦🏾♂️💀😂😂😂
This shit was so on point 😂😂😂😂 I laughed my ass off
Glad you liked it

My friends tried reaching me to swim last week and I sank like a rock, incredibly nervous for swim week
Declare you are a non swimmer
@Mike Jozefowicz left parris island like 2 years ago thanks anyways
@@dantheasian5060 did you qualify?
Did you pass?
These stories are so funny!!! I hope my son sees it this way when he finishes. Swim week is his greatest worry too.
Great video and great advice.
1st and 2nd class swim qualifications are significantly harder than 3rd class qualifications.
Do a video about your crucible experience
I hope he doesn’t do a video on it, it’s something you have to experience yourself
Yessir
Editing getting better👍
This guy would be the best story teller if we on the plane ready to deploy
I did that shit in Boy Scouts for my swimming merit badge . Tread water Is difficult . But everything else is easy
You sound like a swimmer
😂😂 i love his drill instructor imitation voice 💀
1980. I went to swim call at Paris Island. 150 lbs 30" waist. Negative buoyant, floating on my back, my nose barley poked through the stairs water. Boots and rallies on I still passed.
I'm enlisting in january and going into the infantry. But I'm going to try for brc and then after two years I'm gonna try to go raiders.
Good luck💪🏽
I want to be a Raider too. I’ve been training and I plan to go straight at it next Summer.
I failed the thread water the first day. I would have failed the second try, but the swim instructor ignored me when I tried to tap out, but I said forget it and relaxed and passed.

I love the dumbass TH-cam close caption calling the swim call “phone call” over and over and over
big tip, try and learn how to swim before u ship off, or atleast be comfortable in the water
Lmao "they pushing yo ass"
They pushed me the first time.
The last time the guy let me have a small moment to relax. Then I jumped.
phat ass pool 😭
LMAO random ass clothes size wtf😂

TRELL I really like watching your videos very good, I SALUTE YOU.
That's what you call it in bootcamp? And what week is swim week?
It depends on the company schedule ..I believe ...mine was on the 3rd or 4th week of boot camp
I have the weekly schedule for bootcamp in San Diego if y’all are interested.

Hey trell, can you make a video about how it is to be stationed at Marine Barracks , Washington.
0:57 "Hell Nah" 😂😂😂👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I can't swim and I'm terrified of water but I wanna join the Marine Corps. What do I do,
Join the ymca and learn to swim while you still can. Exposure therapy is the only thing that works

You’ll be fine
Damm man I wanna join the marines but I don’t live in the US :/

Can you make a vid about the hand to hand combat training?
I asked for that a couple of weeks ago and never got an answer i hope he answers to you tho
are you able to do a video on how to join the us marines as a foreigner since I'm from SA and I'd like to become a marine
You need a green card or tone a citizen
To be a citizen
I seen a video of the heli crash training were they tip you upside down. Is that apart of boot camp?
I dont know how to swim. But i really want to join the marines. Will the people at the boot camp train you to swim?
From what I hear yes
They’ll teach you man.
yeah they’ll probably pull you aside for extra training
@@wyattseaton u took the picat test yet?
Yes they will teach you certain techniques on how to swim in boot camp but I prefer if you learn them now instead of waiting ...it’ll be easier once you get there ....trust me I’ve been through 13-weeks of hell 😂...

Any tips as to how to submerge and stay submerged? This is my biggest worry for boot camp.
Did you have to basic plus since you were an 03 or just basic

I feel better now
Yo I was rolling been on 10 years swear we were there together
Bro good ass video for real
Could you do a video on a average day of pt in the marine corp
Does infantry need basic plus or intermediate swim qual now?
Wya we miss your videos do more plz🥹
This is great
When treading water are hands above the water or in water treading? And is it with a pack or just uniform. Thanks trell!
You can’t tread water long without ur hands I’m assuming you have to have ur hands that’s what treading water is
Bro I’m so scared for high dive
Bro. Basic swim qual sucks but intermediate is way worse. Shits tiring as fuck. My mos has to do intermediate
I leave tomorrow, swim week is going to be fun ; (
🤣🤣 I was CRAKIN UP!
Do you get a shit ton of water in your nose when you jump off the high dive
You will get a nose full of water. Lat one arm across your body and flutter kick until you level out. Frog kick after that and you will begin to ascend to the surface.
