- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ย. 2016
- U.S. Marine Corps recruits participate in Final Drill at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. The recruits were scored according to confidence, attention to detail, and discipline. The Final Drill is held during the last week before graduation and the senior drill instructor drills the platoon, establishing them as one of the newest members of “the Few and the Proud.”

THE SOUND OF THE RIFLE CLAPPING IS SO NICE!
In the British army the arms drill is demanded so that a single loud 'crack' is heard from the whole platoon , so much so that their fingers bleed!
"Crack the weapon!"
"Your rifle should be screaming"
It sounds tight on inspection arms if everyone sends the bolt home at the same time.
THE best ive ever vit, its insane good, this is my amy have a look im from south afica, here is an `, check the sub
th-cam.com/video/7OjxT05cSV0/w-d-xo.html
im listen
In case anyone is wondering.
The reason warriors and soldiers are still taught formations and marches is for discipline and to test whether the trooper can listen and follow proper instruction.
Imagine having a bad memory trying to do that
Welp Rip me
@@edgein625 Well then prepare for an onslaught of yelling, shaming, screaming and repeats.
@@operatorkakuta5418 Oh no, they will make sure you do it right... Marines could fix lazy, Marines could fix lack of discipline but the Marines can not fix stupid.
O P it’s not that. I just have a really have a terrible memory
The weirdest thing about boot camp is that while you in it you can't wait to be over and it seems that last forever but once it's over you can't believe it's over and later on life you get to miss it and it becomes one off the most fondest experiences on your life! Good times!
I miss it
Man that is so true
I had a blast in bootcamp
Alpha 1076 summer 92
So true
Well said
Been out almost 20 years and I can still do this with my eyes closed!
A true marine at heart.
I'm Australian I'm deciding on joining when I'm 19
KFC KFC US Citizens BruH.
If he obtains American citizenship, I believe he can still enlist. Even if he doesn't, his country should have military service as well. :^)
Angel Spasoff you just need a green card. I have seen video of citizenship ceremonies of military in uniform taking the oath.
Marines: We are the Soldiers of the Sea, the Knights of the Ocean, the first Legion to come to enemy shores.
Gov't: We need these guys on the desert
The first time that the American Flag was flown in the Old World in Battle, was by Lt. Presley O'Bannon USMC, in Derne, Tripoli (Libya) in 1805. We have been there before. The head Arab was so impressed he gave him a sword. A copy of such, The Mameluke Sword, is worn by every USMC Officer in dress uniform. Semper Fi.

@@KORN-ne5er fuck off
@@KORN-ne5er seamen vs marine ooohh such a hard decision
KORN 1999 why is the Uber Driver Talking
still remember the moves and counts. It never goes away. Semper Fi.
Bayas M I want to enlist, but I just don't feel like I can do it, only 15, but many decisions, don't know if I should join the Marines or Army, I'll be going to college first though.
A very important decision that has to be made by you alone. Very hard to change your mind once your there. Look into it and find as much info as you can gather. Know exactly what you want to do and what MOS you want. Once you know make sure everything that is offered and promised is in writing. Its a big step. Either way you go dont go in blind.
Bayas M I just don't want any other branch to have more respect than any other soldier, like idc if I become a Marine or an Army Soldier, I would be there to serve my duty, it seems Army is easier.
There is always going to be rivalry between the branches. Its what you make of it. Marines bootcamp is harder. All the branches know that. Join the branch you feel you will be happy with. Go to the recruiters office and talk to the Marines on leave from bootcamp and ask them questions as well as Soldiers. Maybe even Navy and Airforce. They all have something different to offer. Personally The Marines are the best. I had good times and bad times. But never the less. Best decision I ever made. Some Marines may not agree but I'm basing it on personal experience. My career and work ethic all came from serving in the Marines. I owe them that. Once again In basing on my experience not anyone elses.
Bayas M What was it like? did you know what you were heading for?
Man it took my platoon FOREVER to get the marching right lol. 3rd phase we finally got it right and tied for second after failing drill twice. We could fight and shoot though.
Fred Brice Yeah, marching seems hard. You have to be in constant sync or you might bump into someone.
Freckle Phantomhive it’s not that hard once you practice. It takes about three weeks to get decent at it.
Freckle Phantomhive when you see them looking to the right with their arms outstretched, they’re aligning with the platoon guide and the person beside them. With practice you get good at keeping that distance. I miss drill. We drilled ALL THE TIME GOING EVERYWHERE.
That was our motto for awhile FRED .I still remember Drill Instructor Sgt Cisneros yelling ...YOU DUMBASSES CANT MARCH TOGETHER FOR SHIT , BUT YOU MOTHERUCKERS ARE GOING TO BE THE STRONGEST..I GUARANTEE IT .. For those who are civilians..it wasn't a motivational speech ..so don't think he meant in time you guys will form a strong bond by practicing..NO NO NO ..WHAT IT MEANT WAS ..TAKING TO SAND PITS AND THERE FAMOUS WORDS"WEAR YOURSELF OUT"..
@@identitywitheld007 they alight to the the squad leaders, the guide does too, the SQD leaders are the base of the movement.
Watching approximately 60 recruits who came from all walks of life, who never knew each other and in 13 weeks became molded into one completely synchronized platoon,says volumes for Marine Corps training. Congratulations and well done, Marines .Semper Fi.
Yes I agree I've been out almost 20 yrs and I will never forget and my son is carrying on the legacy ,he is currently stationed at camp Pendleton!! Semper Fi to past , present, future!!!
weedXD38 oh cool in Oceanside huh
DON'T understand it, but am very grateful !Anyone in the military has VOLUNTEERED for a very different life, knowing It's NOT sleeping in, sitting around dugged and just being worthless, which a LOT OF PEOPLE DO! You work hard, develop yourselves and are prepared to fight for our country, any time, place or reason! We wouldn't sleep easy if it weren't for YOU, our great American Volunteer, AMAZING MILITARY? Thank you, in ALL BRANCHES, Men Women, and trained dogs,!
Thank your son and all his unit for me, I truly appreciate all they give so I CAN LIVE free!
Leaving in 3 days
To all the sons of former marines if you f---up you will be in a world of shit. Just a tip from a former Marine Sgt. & Vietnam vet. Semper fi. Carry on
Back in 64 at Parris Island we drilled with M14's. Things have come a long way with modified M16's with enhanced fore grips and ACOG's. Watching these Marines is like a symphony. I do and always will love the Corps. Spent 26 years of my life with them and watching this makes me want to go back. Age takes a tole on the body but not the soul.
As a an Old School Marine myself (I also drilled with 14's back in the early 70's) I can completely identify with your statement "Age takes a toll on the body, but not the soul".
Our goal (23 years ago) would be to click and pop hard enough to pop off a hand guard, that was top tier. Not sure its even possible these days
@@spencer5028
I recall. I was there in 96’. You hit that madaphaka hard enough and the A2 hand guard going for a flight.
My brother's a Marine, and is in Japan, I love my brother dearly, and thank him and all Marines and armed forces members for their service, to protect my home👏🏻
*He's in Japan to protect my home*
You live in Japan then? Or is Japan actively attacking American soil? Are they invading, by chance?
Don't get me wrong, damn fine work that he physically made it to become a marine but he's not over there to protect your home.. He is, with lack of a better comparison, that bouncer the mobsters hired to 'protect' your shop from other gangs; he'll hang around, help out if needed but if mob gives the word that your shop should pay more taxes or that your store should be removed entirely, he'll be the first one to throw you out of your own shop.
@@BigMisterApple
The marine corps have their base in Okinawa Japan since ww2, it's not like they have it in japan for other interest, and yes, they don't protect his home but the nation. What's that bullshit from gangs? Leave that to the law.
@BigMisterApple wow, really messed up comment there. I don't think this guy is a Marine, Mam.
Thank you.
From HS grads to trained killers, man-o-man they look sharp...
william laput *From HS grads to basically trained marines
Oumar Traore marines*
Defenders, not killers. It's about national security and geopolitical interests, not being murderers.
Marines are "Ministers of Death", make no compulsions.
Marines have a Doctrine, called "Pacification" we Pacify the Local Indigent's/Locals to use them for Support of our Occupying Forces, The US Army is To Conquer and Control by overwhelming Weapons of Shock & Awe! In the Corps every MOS, has a Mission & Objective that is to Support the Ground Forces, US Forces cannot win a Battle nor a war without taking and holding the enemies TAOR, or the Geographical land mass, Boots on the Ground, Infantry know its imperative for a Successful Victory, We LOCATE, CLOSE WITH AND KILL THE ENEMY BY FIRE AND MANUVER. So remember that poor FO FWD of the Battle is Mission Critical, for Arty tp Drop it's DEATH BLOSSOMS on the Enemies Position, Marines are very good at Taking the enemies land and NEVER GIVING IT BACK We will secure it and Fight to until there is no more Ammo, then we FIX Bayonets, and if that doesn't Work we will Beat you to death with our Rifle, after that we use Hand to Hand Combat which we are better than ever since MCMAP was Implemented So remember somewhere on this Globe there is a Young Marine Guarding his Post and Walking Plank! to Plank! and Takes No Shit From Any Rank!
Rah!
It's actually pretty simple: the Army and Marines come in and occupy the territory that the Air Force has already cleared. Make no mistake: 95% of all damage done in common-day war is due to Air Power. Our military would be essentially useless without it.
You get through these 12 weeks, without getting set back, you are a bad ass, and have earned the respect of the entire country! (IMO)

I was in Boot Camp, San Diego, in ‘68. My dad was there in ‘38 and served in the South Pacific but passed before I joined. I went to Nam 68-69. I know Boot Camp was different now than it was in ‘68 and was VERY different when my dad was in. I just wish we both could have swapped stories about those days. I sure miss him.
What dates and Plt number? I was there then also. Plt 1107 Oct-Dec.
Thank you for your service, sir
Semper fi
I was in the Army from 2004 to 2013 and I was always envious of the discipline the Marines have. You didn't really see that in the Army
I am 77 years old today. I remember final field in July 1965 at PI like it was yesterday. Semper Fi
i like how the drill instructors sound, its kind of like there singing.
they are singing cadence.
They really are singing. The actual name for this type of cadence is the Sing Song method
My little brother is in bootcamp right now and said in one of his letters that his platoon won final drill and broke a regimental record. I didn’t really know what that meant, so watching this makes me even more proud of him.
A D.I. calling cadence can lead his Marines till the end. It's been a life time ago and this brings back great pride....Semper Fi

Very impressive and beautiful. Respect to the US Marine Corps and the US Army.
Respect to anyone who has or is serving in any military branch! Not just marines and army. The seals impress me a lot. All branches have my respect 💯
The Army? Everyone knows that the Army ain’t ready to be Marines yet.
@@xoticenigma6297- AND everyone knows that the marines aren't ready to be United States Soldiers yet either!!
@@bigdee8189 ha-ha 🧐😂
What people need to keep in mind is these are basically trained Marines. Every Marine can do this as part of our basic training. Some better than others but none the less we can all do this.
One of the most impressive experience I had during boot was rifle qualification. Getting to the 500 yard line, hitting black center mass, all day long. I shot expert, and even improved when i got out in the fleet. With a open site weapon!
My son is part of this video. He's in platoon 3076. I'm glad he's following the same tradition I went threw over 30 years ago. Me, I was in platoon 1014, A co., 1012 series and we graduated 2/6/1987.
This reminds me when I was growing up. I was born and raised on Air Force Bases. I remember soliders doing these drills.The sounds of their marching and their rifles in unison clanging and the sound of the wind blowing is a nice memory. I thank all the men and women who protect our country. And we really need it nowadays! GO USA!🇺🇸❤️
The most disciplined branch in the world.
Josh check out China's Amy Marches, they're like robots
Arrogance, it's your countries downfall.... You're the richest, NOT the best.....

Who is better may I ask?

It’s weird to think I will never get these mornings back… the nostalgia and the vivid memories I have being isolated to such a small location, and having your life changed so measurably in what only retrospectively feels like an instant but in the moment felt like an eternity… makes me wanna do it all over again but my back has never been the same. If I were healthy I ponder where my place would have been in the corps.
It's been 46 years since final boot camp drill.....at this stage of my life ..ONCE A MARINE...ALWAYS A MARINE!! SEMPERFI yall
I was Platoon 1051 1986!
Our final drill went great!
I caught a cab to San Diego airport had a beer and a cigar!
The AC on the plane broke down and the entire flight turned into a beer party!!
~Salute to all that earn the title in the future~ Semper Fi Fellow Marines!
We took Final Drill! As a reward, our DIs thrashed us in the pit! One of our most proudest thrashing.
Being in the Army i can certify that I dont understand what the hell the instructor is saying. He must be a true marine all the way to the core 👌🏼
That’s strange, I can understand perfectly. Then again, having been in the Corps for four years I can speak fluent Marine-ese.
100% understood it all 30 years later. It’s part of my DNA now.
Semper Fi , 1990 graduate Parris Island , Best day EVER !!!!!!!!!
I cant believe my grandpa did this in 1963 I remember once when I was a kid he took out his M-14 and still at over 60 years old still did it perfect after so many years he's 77 now and I'm very proud my grandpa earned the title Marine
You should be very proud of him for sure. The Marine Corps wasn’t “woke” back then either. Semper Fi!
You never forget these movements. It's really unbelievable. I still remember this stuff.
I remember when the only thing that mattered to me was the final drill. I love the Marine Corp.
I did that beginning February 9, 1965..... I'm still proud of those days. semper fi
I'm not a Marine but respect to the U.S. Marine Corps. You are America's elite fighting force!!🇺🇸
Along with the other branches!!!
It's an amazing thing... God bless the United States of America our troops and the newest brothers and sisters of the United States Marine Corps.. Thank you all for the sacrifice you have given to protect and serve our great nation...

+ItsOg clan in the future they will say...I almost joined but...
Bish Please go to college first.
Well good luck
Close order drill is what seperates Marines from the other branches. Without even realizing it, it basically instills immediate response to orders. And this translates to the battlefield. I remember when I was in Iraq back in 2006. When we would catch fire or hit an IED our response to these situations was eerily robotic in a way. You respond without having to guess about it, and therefore things would run smooth and orderly.
Marching with an M-16 is nice, but EVERY branch has close order drill! It's about OBEYING ORDERS quickly and precisely!! But you don't need to be marching around with a rifle to know how to obey orders!!
I like how the Sargeant sings the commands and they listen to on command it's so cool ☺️
Damn, I love this country.
My son is going into his second week of bootcamp. So proud and miss him so much. I love watching these video videos
I miss drill. I was glad to drill again in MCT when we were being "disciplined" and treated as "Recruits" again by our instructors but sadly, it only lasted for a day lol
Hearing that rythmic cadence in the background gave me the mother of all flashbacks
semper fi brother
The cadence calling and sounds of the rifles bring a tear to me eyes
Whenever I get depressed on the direction the US is heading I watch this. Don't ever change.
When they said right shoulder I almost screamed “right side stiffen the neck” at my phone

As a retired US Marine Infantry Unit Leader (0369), I still remember every drill move at my current age of 74. In 1977, I mastered the Drill Manual. Did you know the west coast Marines had one more movement then the east coast Marines? I was not a "Drill Master", but 3 Drill Instructors from OCS tested me while Chief Instructor (Gunny) at NCO School at Quantico. One of the prides of my career. I love Close Order Drill. Ooorah Semper Fi.
I did 10 years I'm 54 now I remember everything as as if it was yesterday US Marines never quit and we never forget

I remember busting my finger and bleeding during final. Drill master was impressed. Same as my drill instructor although he didn’t mention it until he handed me my Eagle Globe and Anchor 🦅⚓️
Semper Fi....my band of brothers/sisters.....may your service always merit honor and pride in your country and Corps....!
My brother is going to be joining the Marines.
How’d his training go
How is he doing?
It wasn’t until after I got discharged that I realized we weren’t the only ones being judged in final drill, the DIs were also being evaluated. They were given a list of commands to be executed and how well the platoon responded.
Plt 1015, 1st RTBN, April 1990. Initial and Final Drill winners. SSGT Moreno, SDI. The next closest platoon was 5 points behind us. No one could touch us. Our rifle manual sounded like one giant click. It even rained in MCRDSD of all things during the last part of the Final Drill. If you were there, that was greatness.
You old as Fuuuuu…..
Just kidding. I am too. I was PI in 96.
I saw Sgt. Burns at Camp Lejeune after he left the drill field. He told me that 3011 was the best platoon that he had ever put through.--------Damn, it was good to see him again!
So impressive. Whatever these guys were three months ago, they're Marines now.
Im joining the navy but i gotta give it to the marines yall go through a lot
My Marine (son)just graduated from MCRD-SD FOX CO 2135-Dec 2023…what a changed boy. Looking at all TH-cam USMC boot camp -WOW! I am so proud at my boy…not to mention I’m a proud dad…oh rah!! SEMPER FI!
The old Marine watched this video and smiled. He recalled his time at Parris Island which seemed so very long ago. Different Rifle, different uniform. All green but still lean and mean. He remembered each of his Drill Instructors names like it was yesterday. The names and memories of his brother Marines still linger in his mind. The cadence, commands and movement of his Vietnam era M16 came back to him. The sounds of close order drill and marching brought back pleasant memories. So young and so Gung-HO, he thought he was invincible. But age and injuries have caught up with him. He no longer can run 3 miles or fight with a pugil stick. Getting out of the "rack" is not so easy now. But put him behind his rifle (There are many like it but this one is mine) and 500 yards is no more a challenge than it was many years ago. Still sharp and steady, he can hit center mass and never jerk the trigger. Breath control is remembered as is sight alignment and sight picture. Yes, it was many years ago and several wars later, but this Old Marine never forgot that every Marine is a Rifleman! May GOD continue to Bless and Keep the United States Marine Corps, SEMPER FI!
SEMPER FI‼️🍻

Hisham Daniel underrated comment
Drill and Ceremony was by far the best days in my Army basic 👍🏻🇺🇸
HOOAH!! GO ARMY!!
A couple of things about drill. Final Drill for a DI is like their Daytona 500 - it is revered. Drill for a platoon needs to be their Zen - it is the Platoon's identity in all the eyes of the other Di's an recruit Commanders. Drill is the foundation of following instructions, listening to commands, team work as a unit, and above of all pride as a Corps. Drill is the #1 thing a DI's is graded on in the eyes of God and everybody.
GOD BLESS US MARINE...GOD BLESS THEM..PROTECT THEM AND KEEP SAFE FROM THE ENEMY...GOD BLESS US MARINES SOLDIER...AMEN
Beautiful
MCRDPISC 1st bat. plt.1025 Aug 67. Getting off that bus and on those yellow footprints still can see it to this day. Drill instructors still making Marines out of kids. Incredibly important job backbone of the corps
Still remember winning our Final Drill..we had a perfect Inspection Arms for the first time all boot camp…got the phone call home …was never so glad to hear my moms voice in my life!
We are Marines, so expect a higher standard.
when they march the cadence is good
I freaking love the Marines. Take care young Marines
I did 10 years I would have done longer but I had family to attend too and people didn't want the worst
Badass Marines. Semper Fi! ~ 20 yr. FMF Corpsman Vet.
Thinking of changing my mind to be a doctor
Damn my platoon failed initial drill and missed winning final by 2 points
I find myself enjoying watching the taking of young kids and turning them into young men. Staff Sgt Warner, staff Sgt Ouhmak, and Sgt Burnett, I will never forget. We were the best. I am greatful for their time AND still carry on many things I learned there. The corps made me a better man. My father was wwii, decorated MARINE, my brother a Vietnam war Marines and myself, just keeping watch with every other marine that carries that title. GOD bless you all, our platoon still rocks, platoon 2070.
Nobody
can beat the Brits for arms and foot drill sharp snappy paces and the whole section moves as one.
It seems very unnatural when marching to place the flat of the foot on the ground. That is not how the body is built. The heel should 'strike; the ground first with the foot at an angle outwards. I am not criticizing, but it doesn't seem right. ( I can still hear it now from my own basic training "Drive those heels into the ground, I want to hear the crack of the heel!") Can I ask also what is the length of pace?
You only place the flat of your foot down when you mar(k) time march, half-step or conducting pivots like right/left oblique, column left/right, to the rear, etc. Length of pace is 30".
UranusGaseous Greetings . No matter what the Drill Pamphlet states: On this vidio at 1.56 the flat of the foot is contacting the ground first, it is either that, or they are instructed to place one foot directly in front of the other while marching. Is the marching pace 120 to the minute?
I have no idea what you are asking. If you are stating that going flat footed @1:56 then yes I see that but only about 2 of them are doing it, not all of them, so people just walk/march differently. Normal marching pace is 120 beats per minute at a length of 30". Now this the real world so it is ABOUT 120 not Exactly 120 beats per minute. No need to nitpick here.
UranusGaseous. Sorry if you think me a nit picker, I'm not! I was 26 years British Infantry and the US Marines are a Regimental 'Affiliated Regiment' to our own from our service together in The Boxer uprisings, Sousa wrote a Regimental march in Honour of that association. (Google it for my unit.) I was a Regimental Sergeant Major and feel I would love to have that squad for an hour or so. I know from my own experience that the US Marine Corps are a 'Golden Thread' that runs through all good things American. We used to meet them in Subic Bay when we traveled to and from the war in Borneo on RN Destroyers, they were on the way to Vietnam; and how we wanted to go with them! No Sir I am certainly not a critic of The USMC but more of an ally,
Not trying to insult you Sergeant Major so I'm sorry if you took it that way but I was just trying to point out that these are recruits after all and their drill is less than perfect so you have to give them some leeway when it comes to things such as drill. If I am not mistaken, the British military drills slightly differently than the US military.. at least from my experience they do. I was in the Marine Corps and I attended Corporals Course when I picked up the rank of corporal and that course is heavy on drill so yeah while flat footed drill isn't the norm it happens.. It's about the unit as a whole and not the individual Marines or in this case, individual recruits.
Not bad at all, but not quite the snap and pop we had back in the day...from when I went thru boot at Parris Island in '75 the biggest thing that jumped out was how everyone puts their feet down so softly...apparently they are no longer pushed to march with their heel slamming down like we were...we were taught early to slam the hell down...When we'd march the DI's would scream HEELS, HEELS, HEELS!!!!!, and when we'd march between the barracks it would sound like thunder...these recruits seem to be coached to do just the opposite...I had heard talk that some of the stress fractures suffered in boot were possibly caused by how we used to march so maybe there was an official effort to stop marching like that...I don't know, but it sure sounded and looked more impressive than the soft marching here....but other than that they look pretty good, not as good as we were but pretty damn good.
Agreed...this platoon seemed to be just ever so slightly off. I went through San Diego in '87 and we definitely were still taught to slam that heel into the deck.
Not sure if it's stress fractures or the softer sole of the new boots, but I remember doing The Crucible with a stress fracture, and I'd still say better to slam the heel. Besides, stress fractures only take a couple months to heal.
Here I am watching this as retired Marine and a former DI at PISC. I was a SDI for my last two of 6 platoons I worked and here I am critiquing it wih a DI's eyes. Those recruits could have done better. Then I stop myself. Wait you haven't been on the drill field in thirty years and yet I am seeing heads move and some sloppy manual of arms. Well dammit I need to lighten up! Old DI's like me just don't quit. LOL! My last final drill I pulled the stack arms card. Oh boy lucky me. My recruits executed flawlessly. I didn't win the final drill, I had to many recruits not taking a full 30 inch step out the pivot on a column right but the drill masters all gave me a great critique. FInished second and its my hope all my recruits had a good tour in the Corps
Close Order Drill motivates me. I served from Dec 72 to Aug 80 and was a Drill Instructor and Senior Drill Instructor with Kilo Co. 3rd Bn. From Feb 76 to May 78. I loved the F…ing Corps and the Corps loved F…ing me. All jokes aside, being a Marine and especially a Drill Instructor was the most rewarding thing I ever did. That even beats 32 years in law enforcement. I am proud to say that my 3 sons were also Marines and I now have 1 grandson in the Corps and one in the Navy. Not sure how that happened! SEMPER FI and God bless the Marine Corps!
Drill sergeant: Present Arm
Soldier: Dab
Drill sergeant: oh god forbid me to kill you tonight!!!
I actually did it once and that what happened. I ended up doing some excersise.
I have a chance to go boot camp San Diego in April I’m fucking taking it to earn that title United States marine corps
Brings back memories. I was the 2nd Bn. Drill Master. SgtMaj Overstreet was my Bn SgtMaj and immediate supervisor who went on to become SgtMaj of the Marine Corps.
Except for the optics on the rifles and the boots, this looks exactly like it did at Parris Island in November of 1976 when I graduated from Plt. 3010. Semper Fi men. Carry on our great tradition.
2:37. Watch closely
That can't be final drill, they're too fuck up.
Every final drill sounds like that believe it or not. A lot of what you hear is the slings.
Bob C must be 1st battalion
The Silent Drill Plt. is what made me want to enlist although I never had a Billet that I could get into the Plt. I was definitely sold when I was Civilian Shit, I saw them perform at a High School Football game, at Half time, and said that is what I want to be and enlisted into the Delayed Entry Program, was Poole, and the rest is History,
Rah!
Bob C That's because it's 3rd batallion and they are always pretty terrible at drill.
You think that's bad, you should see a 4th BN final drill.
I am a former Marine. I graduated from Parris Island in 1994 on November 10 and what I saw in this video would not have been acceptable in my Marine Corps. Lack of discipline and pride. I also was 3rd battalion. I haven't done any of those moves in 24 years and I can still do them better than what I saw in this video.
Platoon 1074,Series 1072,Bravo Company,1st BN, RTR, MCRD Parris Island,SC, 1987. I am a great Soldier,a more Elite Soldier( RANGER) because ,first and foremost, I was a really good MARINE. Semper Fidelis and SUA SPONTE RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘
