    I was never in the service, but I attended my BILs graduation at Parris Island. I was so impressed and could feel the spirit. Thanks for your service.

    Army boot camp in the 70's made a man of me. I was too scared to join the Marines because I heard it was much tougher. Looking back I do not regret joining the military.

    I wen t through in San Diego in the late 70's, Some differences:
    1) 8:24 We never worked out with M-16's (besides, an M-1 Garand is much heavier).
    2) 10:48 We used the M-16 and there was a strict accounting of bullets (so as to head off murder-suicides)
    3) 11:16 We worked out with Drill Instructors, there wasn't special fitness instructors, or whatever those guys were.
    4) 12:09 We never had a track and field event like this.
    5) 13:22 "Bucket Drill", was a thing of the past, I think because the USMC was humiliated by a movie (was it called Tribes?").
    6) 14:00 Instead of this kind of drill, we had classes on bayonet drill (with the pugil sticks seen here) , then a playoff, of sorts, to see who was best. Because of prior martial arts experience, I took 2nd in my regiment-losing to someone 18 inches taller.

    I was at Parris Island in 1976 and I must say the DI in this film was much more polite than the ones I came across.

    My father served as a US Marine in the mid 1950s. I watched this as kind of a window into what he went thru for his training back then.

    I grabbed onto the rappel tower in boot camp because i was scared of heights. The drill instructor smiled and stomped on all my fingers on both hands. Down i went.

    Semper Fi Marines. I spent 22 years in the USMC. I'm nearly 70 and still dream that I'm in the Corps. I keep asking them why in hell I'm not allowed to retire in these dreams. The only answer I get is, "Once a Marine, always a Marine." Dang I'm tired when I wake up.

      @@KommissarKartofelov Well sir, as I was a Marine in 58-61 I should have some knowledge on the subject. The rank didn't have cross rifles that came in 58. And there wasn't any discussion about Vietnam either which is the question. 99% of those Marines, like me, served 3 to 4 years.
