DI: "Scream three" Recruit: "FOUR!" DI: *loses all faith in humanity*

This is comfortable to watch while lying on a sofa and eating chips.

The cameraman for this should get an oscar. Some of these shots are truly cinematic.

51:40 "he took your little debbie cake"😂😂

Bad lip reading needs to make a Marine boot camp version.

20:02 Please take time to notice the time doesn't start until the last person crosses the starting line. If you're slow, go to the front. You'll gain an extra 10 seconds or so.

Seeing 2 of my Drill Instructors in this video just reminded me of all of the shit they put me through in boot camp , man it was one hell of a ride. Good luck to all of you that are taking on this challenge 💪🏽

20:10 *recruits start yelling starting the run* DI: SHUT UP

-Marines: Uhhh uhhh ohhhhh -Drill instructor: SHUT UP 20:24

11:25 left trainee is a future drill instructor.

Some say they're still doing situps to this day.

"You fat thing, lay on top of him, sit on him". Memories. It's been 7 years since I graduated. Echo Company Platoon 2028

I leave in 6 days super excited and nervous 😬 wish me luck!

After i graduate highschool in 2020, im gonna go to boot camp to earn the title of a U.S. Marine. I know its not gonna be easy, but i know what to expect. The reason why i want to join is because it doesn't feel right to me when im at home safe while other brave soldiers are fighting to keep us safe. Wish me luck in the future 🇺🇸

I have so much respect for anyone in the Military. I know I could never make it 😰Good luck to anyone going to join!!!

51:42 He took your little Debbie cake 😂😂😂😂

I'm getting out next week after doing four years. Watching this video remembering all the good times four years ago.. unsolicited advice; just don't quit. A lot of it is a mind game. Just put your best effort into it and give 100% effort all the time. Also, when everyone is screaming, don't think you can just mouth the words and not put out any volume. The drill instructors notice if you're faking it and then they will just pick on you and make you scream more.

Been almost 11 years since I've left that island, good and bad memories were made there. Best 3 months of my life. Some things change but they're not too drastic. I love my corps and my brothers and sisters i served with. Semper Fi to all my Marines that see this getcha some OOH RAH!!!!

Massive respect lads, I'm going into the British army soon, but I hope to have the honour of moving to the states to join the marines one day. Semper Fidelis.

Nothing but respect and admiration for the young men and women who face this challenge with grit, strength, and good attitude.

15:37 - Scream three! *pause* -FOUURR!

I remember MCRD San Diego. Our contraband room was way worse. It was pretty much exactly like the “your first 2 hours of boot camp” video. I’m glad to see the drill instructors still give it their all. I wished they had shown the chow hall. When I went through boot camp, our j-hat would IT your ass if you got dessert.

I realize 15 years later, that I never saw the flags in the Receiving Building. I remember staring at those hatches, lots of brick walls, but never anything above eye level. My body gave out on me, but the spirit never leaves you. God bless, all on their way to the Island, and all that knew it as home. Semper Fi, brothers.

I went through boot camp back in 2001. 911 happened while I was in boot camp. It went from crazy......to INSANE

51:44 "He took your little Debbie cake!" Most clastic line I have ever heard during a fight!!!!!!

This is perfect to watch as I suffer from insomnia, and try to peacefully drift away to sleep.

So much respect for you guys. God Bless you and good luck! Thank you for your service.

Lmao that di when they were fighting “HE TOOK YOUR LITTLE DEBBIE CAKE” “YOU FAT THING LAY ON HIM! SIT ON HIM” 😂😂

Some things never change. I remember a bus ride just like that in June of 1988. Time sure does fly. Semper Fidelis

1:06 LMFAO THIS IS WHY IM STAYING AS A CIVILIAN I WOULD BE DECEASED

3:49 My man in the plad shirt hasn't even gone through the welcoming phase and already developed PTSD

I got in trouble for doing the " rebel yell" instead of the " ahhhhhh" when your running lol. Senior DI cracked a smile once and called me Hillbilly the rest of my time there

1:05 Epic drill instructor voice crack

Damm I guess I had it easy in Airforce basic. Yall marines are crazy ill give you that. Glad to serve alongside yall

"Any verbal abuse by any Marine or recruit will *NOT* be tolerated!"

4 months from now, when i can finally say i did it. Ill come back to this and compare who i am and how i changed if at all ... As of right now, i am a 19 year old male from ohio. Ive wanted to be a marine since i was about 13 years old for the same reasons i still do. I go to meps here in 3 days, on the 10th and eleventh and my recruiter says i should go to basic late july or early august. I have (the military doesnt know about this, im unmedicated for all) bad adhd, anxiety, and likely autism. All are easily dealt with as long as my mind and body are engaged in proper proportions. Its boredom that causes my worst moments. Ive always felt disrespected and undervalued, but, not only by other people, but by myself, so i allow it, because maybe i deserve it, i havent really done anything, mentally ive never had to try hard, and physically, ive always been in good enough shape to at the bare minimum keep up with everyone around me. And so my discipline and respect for authority as far as school police (except sheriffs) and political officials has always been extremely low, because ive never had to really try hard to work around what i knew was their bullshit agenda. I grew up in a lower middle class to mid range middle class white family, i went to a good school and was always comfortable at home. Always treated with basic human decency. I guess ive only ever been the only person who was actually hard on myself. I expect to gain a sense of self respect and value from the corp, i expect to have achieved one great accomplishment and thus recognize myself as more, if even by slightly, than the rest of the nobodies in this world. I expect my mental acuity to increase, my performance under pressure to increase, and thus experience a reduction in my anxiety. And obviously, the complete inability to work around an authority figures instructions and the forced sense of discipline the military enforces i feel would benefit my lack of discipline and respect for authority by allowing me to rise higher in the chain of command whether it be an office job, a blue collar, or whatever. So when i get out, i will be altogether a better man. But we will see, ill come back to this when i finish basic.

Hey foxtrot I really like the marines boot camp videos keep up the great work

His voice crack when he said 4 😂

Love this! Brave men and women serving. And to the Drill Sergeants mostly! Can’t imagine. But they see everything

Damn Marine drill instructors are motivating as hell

Im shipping out november 4th 2019 to parris island, and I don't speak English fluently, please wish me good luck..

LMAO at 4:40, throwing the boxes on the ground then being sassy af with the arm. Real scary bro. lol

Just graduated yesterday. Proud to be a Marine

This is way quieter and more relaxed than without the cameras... that’s how all these videos are

50:39 "Fight like a man Stryker!" "Stryker you sweet little thing."

Im 25 yrs old thought i couldnt join at this age lol but parris island in a few months smh

Aug - Nov 2006. One of the best experiences of my life.

One time I decided to talk back to my staff. 32:20 is a perfect recreation of what followed.

Shippin out In 2 days, Good luck out there to all future recruits watching this video 💪

Wonderful research on equipment. Always like the parts on caring of extra socks too. That’s important…with regard to foot care. The equipment used today must better than ever!

These guys might be scared, but they could have a lot of opportunity in front of them if they take advantage of it. My son-in-law passed through here about a decade ago. He had essentially failed out of his first semester of college and enlisted in the Corps. Went to Parris Island and then to NAS Pensacola for training as air crew on the C-130. Worked his way up the ranks to Sergeant (E-5). Decided he had higher aspirations and applied for MECEP (Marine Enlisted Commissioning Education Program). Was accepted (few are) and was sent to OCS at Quantico in the fall of 2016. Graduated from OCS in March 2017, promoted to Staff Sergeant (E-6) and returned at Corps expense to the Naval ROTC program at the same college from which he had failed (all officers must hold a four-year degree). Graduated Summa Cum Laude in 3 years was commissioned 2nd Lt (O-1) in May 2020 (the Corps can teach you a lot about focus and discipline). As do all newly commissioned Marine officers, he spent 7 months at The Basic School at Quantico (just like every Marine a rifleman, every Marine officer an infantry officer). He's just been posted back to NAS Pensacola - this time for flight training; he'll now be flying the plane not loading it.

Feels good to sit back in bed relax and watch this training, ive been through similar training when i did my service and its absolutely hell. Tired ,mentally crushed for us the food was wack.. wasnt for me. Funny to see these young kids join up and not know what theyre in for

I arrived on Parris Island on April 1, 1956, Platoon 115, Alpha Co., 1st Trng. Bn. Exactly one week later, SSgt. Matthew McKeon took Platoon 71 into Ribbon Creek and five recruits drowned. We were on the Island before DIs wore campaign covers, and in those days they used their fists to teach discipline. We carried M1 rifles because M14 and M16's had not been invented. We were the first to use pugil sticks, and we used them while dressed in utility trousers, utility covers, boondockers, and scivvy shirts---no helmets, no face masks, no padded vests---and we just knocked the hell out of each other. Our DI's were veterans of WWII and Korea, places like Tarawa, Iwo, and the Chosen Reservoir, and because of what they had experienced, they had no pity on us. I was 18 when I arrived on the Island and I'm now 81, but I can tell you honestly that I remember it like it was yesterday. I can also tell you that what you learn on Parris Island will help to guide you throughout your life. Semper Fi, young Marines.

While in college, I joined the Marine Corps in 1967 in order to avoid the draft. Between my junior and senior year I had to attend Officer Candidate School (OCS) for 10 weeks over the summer. When I graduated in May 1968 I was commissioned as a 2nd Lt in the Marine Corps and attended 6 months at The Basic School at Quantico, VA to become a Marine infantry platoon commander. I ended up in Vietnam in December 1968 as my first full time job out of college. What an education that was. Nearly a year of fighting in Vietnam as a platoon commander because for the last month and a half, I was brought back to the battalion to become the battalion assistant S-1 (administration). I joined as a college kid that had no idea what I wanted to do in life and because of the draft during the Vietnam War, I joined the Marines to avoid being drafted into the Army. I ended up serving 21 years in the Marines with another 2 years in combat in Latin America. OCS was not much different than Boot Camp except that our DI's had the say as to who they would want to be in combat if we were to become officers where as the goal of Boot Camp is to graduate as many recruits as possible. In those days, we had the sham mental and physical stress but our emphasis was on leadership in combat while Boot Camp was about producing enlisted Marines. OCS and the 6 months of The Basic School prepared me for leading Marines in combat, it did not prepare me for combat in Vietnam. Arriving in Vietnam and taking command of a platoon was worlds of difference than the training I received. First, in OCS and in TBS we trained with M-14 rifles, but in Vietnam I was issued an M-16. I had seen photographs of M-16's but I had never used one nor had I ever fired it or disassembled it. My Marines in Vietnam had to show me how to do that. That was embarrassing. Their platoon commander had never been trained on the weapons the were using in Vietnam. It appears times have changed for the better since then.

I have been watching these videos since like 2010 when i was a kid and now they just released a 2018 one 8 year vet woo and cant wait to join in 2 years

HUGE RESPECT for all marines...could not join due to back problems. im 43 and still awe of full dress uniform ..

I LOVED working the supply counter at in-routines!! Seeing all the scared little baby faces gave me sick pleasure lol...

"Whfisndogbrvaifbgosnaotbsi do you understand!" "Yes sir!"

Truly proud to be a part of this

my boyfriend ships off to parris island in three months, watched this to see how intense it would be and DAMN. respect for anyone who did this.

8:10 he was my Senior Drill Instructor SDI SSgt Cordero, Honor Platoon 3253 Lima Company 3rd Battalion MCRD San Diego. November 19th 2013 - February 14th 2014 This was the best time of my life, think about it every day, I’m grateful for his motivation and discipline for it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be in the place I’m in today! Semper Fi!

Sep 15th 1995....the day I marched across the parade at Parris Island and earned the title United States Marine. Semper Fi I can't believe it's been 24 years....

I feel like most of those obstacles are to challenge your mind, like you’re tired and your body says you can’t but DI’s push you past your “limits”

The voice crack at 1:07 would have me dying of laughter if I was there but at the same time scared that I did

Can't wait! Year 2022 is the year I'm graduating high school and that's the year I'm going into boot camp to become a marine. I know it's not that easy. I'm fully aware of what happens. My dad and grandpa was a marine and they tell me all about it so I know what to expect. Who's coming with me?

As someone who allready have served his millitary duty in an other country, its pretty cool to see how bootcamp is for other nationalities. Good luck to everyone who´s about to go into service!

I listen to this while I do my homework. It’s motivating

NEW MARINE RECRUIT DOES CINNAMON/PUSHUP CHALLENGE LINK BELOW: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9SHd5tmrLPWiZc.html

For all those who are leaving or planing on going good luck cuz this video you see is the video I'm in I was foxtrot platoon 2001 and all I can say is when you are there move fast, be loud, and no matter what you do right they will always say you are wrong and be prepared to be sick cuz lots of people will be coming from different states. The reason I can't say I'm a marine is cuz I was droped because of pneumonia and a torn chest muscle. And learn all the knowledge your recruiter gives you or you will screw your platoon over for not taking the time to learn a few things.

I can't even begin to express how much respect i have for these extremely brave people who fight and risk their lives to keep this country safe and to make the 🌎 a better and safer place so thank you all the men and women who serve in our military and may God bless you all so you can go home and return to your families safe and sound.

2020 is my year 👍🏻

I'm shipping out next week; can't wait to meet these wonderful people at the wonderful Pendleton resort and spa.

MAJOR RESPECT to anyone in or wanting to join the military!! 🇺🇸

A Marine never steals! But...gear adrift is a gift! 🤣🤣

Memories...Parris Island Beaufort SC...Retired GYSGT Drill Insturtor Lloyd Jay Phillips III Alfa/Charley Company..😎 thank you for your 20 of service..

Imagine if the next Call of Duty was a Parris Island boot camp simulator

7:35 "A Marine never lies or cheats".

It takes some really serious balls to go through this.. I admire that, but would never do it myself..

Class of 1993 MOsO311 you will remember your DI the rest of your life I'm out now been out almost 25 yrs. I was just standing in the store one day and a guy said to me you was in the service before huh? I said yes sir he was a older Gentleman he said I can tell by the way you're standing. You carry the Marine Corps everywhere you go! SEMPER FI Marines . OOHRAH!

OMG! So many memories! Being left-handed at the weapons range does not allow you to "blend in".

51:42 "HE KILLED YOUR LITTLE DEBBY CAKE" lmao

I ship out in 8 days!!

SO MUCH RESPECT For You GUYS GOD Bless you AND PERFECTLY Good LUK SUPER THANKS You For For YOUR SERVICE

My son is in training now. He has been preparing for 1 year. Truly nothing fully prepares you for the real deal.

I belong to the 2nd civilian battalion,Lazy Company,Chips and Couch Platoon,Beer Belly Squad. BLECHHHHH

My graduation year is 2023 and I'm going to the Marines straight out of highschool I've always wanted to I love the discipline and conditioning.

SCREAM 3!! 4!!!

I want to be in the Marines like if you agree

Man im hyped for bootcamp after i graduate,even though i really shouldnt be.

51:42 "SIR its a jelly doughnut SIR!"

I just graduated and I recognize some of the DIs doing the inspection at about 28 minutes because they were my drill instructors

20:28 DI: "Shut up!" Recruit: "Yes, sir!"

Looks like I'm late to the party but damn, Drill Instructors are always so freakin' funny. I went through MCRD PI in 2012 and I remember them saying some hilarious shit that we couldn't laugh at. Also, "He took your Little Debbie cake" at 51:43 when the recruits were boxing was too damn funny. I had that on repeat a few times laughing my ass off.

ive been waiting for this.

I "grew up" with my Military family at M.C.R.D. and Camp Pendleton. It'll always be home!

Feb 12 SD, can’t wait. My biggest worry is forgetting what to say when asked a question

To all the men and women in our armed services, thank you! You are what makes this country strong and great. No matter color or religion you are, we are all brothers and sisters in this beautiful world that he ☝️ laid beneath our feet 👣 and need to come together not only as one nation, but one people of this world. Or our children’s future is bound to be doomed to perish. Much love to all our troops, thank you for keeping us safe and free and to the ones who didn’t make it home, your sacrifice will never be forgotten or lost, stand for our armed forces. God bless May he wrap you in his angels wings and protect you in your journey and bring you home safe to your loved ones. And if he calls to home to him may God welcome you with open arms into his kingdom in heaven. God bless 🙏❤️☝️❤️🙏

The footage of that official inspection is awesome! Those DIs earn their pay 💰

I was platoon 1085 charlie company. Went mid august and I have a hole in the top of my ear from standing in the sand pit and the sand fleas ate my ear. If we moved we had to stay for longer. I wouldn’t have changed a single thing.
