Gunnery Sergeant Holt, United States Marine Corps, was known as the Anti-Christ. He was PTing his class (23-89 I believe) in 'Hell' one day when condensation starting falling from the ceiling. He said, "It's raining in Hell!! Maybe I can make it snow. Mountain Climbers!! Do it!!"

I love the way this clip shows how the silly things in Boot Camp or OCS pertain to real combat situations.

I knew him as SSgt Holt, in VMA-223 I went to Iwakuni with him, I was a SSgt at the time myself. He was a real nice guy

He was my drill instructor in San Diego MCRD platoon 1018 honor platoon this made my blood curdle. Best part was last day b4 graduation he called us marines.

"Maybe I'll get my Tomcat today." LOL in your dreams.

I was in class 24-89er - Staff Sergeant Carl Matthews, United States Marine Corps was our 'Dad'. We started with ~84, graduated ~42, of which around half were of the original class. Gunnery Sergeant Holt PTed the hell out of me for smiling in the chow hall. First Sergeant Carlton Kent was also part of the D.I. contingent as well. He went on to be a Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps. I have the deepest respect for these Marines. I served 22 years as a Naval Aviator, retiring in 2012 and never forgot for 1 minute that I was Marine Corps trained.

Honor Class 01-90 "Holt's Final Disciples" and I'm at the very tail end of my career. Simply remarkable to be able to see the "Anti-Christ" motivating future Naval Aviators as I can reflect on 24 years of Naval Service. To this day, one of the most inspiring moments of my life was having Gy Holt line us up to convey the news that the Berlin Wall had come down. I truly owe him a debt of gratitude for helping to mold a cocky punk into a young Naval Office.

I wish I had seen this before reporting to Pensacola in 1966. Come to think of it, it's probably better that I didn't. Might have scared me off. So glad I stuck it out. Flew heavy A3 aircraft off carriers and retired as a USAirways captain. It's been quite a life thanks to the US Navy.

They used officer candidates from my AOCS class (07-89) for the film because we were only a few days from graduating and weren't very busy at that point. It was fun for us because we were working with GYSGT Holt in a different way than we were used to--no real pressure, unlike the usual stress of AOCS. In fact, 07's actual drill sergeant was GYSGT F.X. Donahue, but the film crew decided to use Holt. Good choice--he really was that terrifying. Worse, actually, in real life.

I was in 07-89 under Gunnery Sergeant Donahue and was part of this filming, which cannot begin to portray our 90-day vacation. Outstanding training that I carry today.

Looks like Gunny Holt went on to be Representative Holt for the state of Iowa.

To all who have gone through this rigorous training, and have earned your Wings, Congratulations!

I was a stash Ensign working at Student Control while this was being filmed. Was there two years from ‘88 to ‘90 when I commenced API. Watched the marching sequences being taken and retaken. GySgt Holt was a legend. And those were times I’ll never forget.

I'm in this! 4 hours of filming for about 2 seconds of screen time. 😊

My first introduction to then Staff Sergeant Holt was with Class 09-88 in January 1988 with a 0500 wake up call that included a Marine Alarm Clock (metal trash can lid and billie club). We soon learned the Hell Room in the Batt I barracks after completing the Poopy Death March and after a while looked at it with a sick sense of pride in that no other class had a Hell Room where they could get stronger by the minute. LOL! "Snap and pop", "Eye of the Tiger", and "I'll tell ya what there candidate" are all GYSGT Holt catch phrases that I'll always remember. Gunnery Sergeant Steven C. Holt, USMC was every bit the Anti Christ and I'm thankful he was my Drill Instructor.

Our military deserve nothing but RESPECT!

Gunnery Sergeant Holt was an absolute national security asset. It takes the best to produce the best, and Gunny Holt delivered.

Great movie!) Sgt Holt is my hero! I am a retired Marine Colonel but I would love to have a drill instructor like him! Thanks for sharing!

Batt II, 28-88 "Long Distance Voyagers." Started with 67, graduated with 27. Gunny Holt - we referred to him as "Skeletor," was in Batt I and we tried our damnest to never, ever, cross paths with him. Retired in 2015. Good times!

I was in class 06-90. GYSGT Woodring was our Dad , but we were all terrified of the ‘Holtergeist’. The reality is we had no reason to fear any of them, They’re job was to make us into warriors, and they did. Woodring, Holt, Matthews, Kent, Ford, Donahue. Gamballi, Imenez. They all contributed to our success. We all earned our wings, but they made it possible. All these years later I have at least as much respect for all the Staff, Gunny, and First Sergeants I knew as any Staff officers I ever met.

I was in 21-88 with SSGT Donahue..but I had plenty of time in front of Gunny Holt! Man this brings back a lot of memories. Just seeing the Bat One Bulldog painting outside the drill instructors office brought back all the good times spent in there :-)

LOL he thought he was going to be Tom Cruise in top gun. I do like how this video shows why you need to have attention to detail , following orders without questioning them and teamwork

I was in AOCS Class 13-89 when they were filming this. GSgt Holt, USMC was our senior drill instructor.

My last name is Macklin. This video was pretty awesome to find 🙂👍

I was in his first class 03-88, “ Holt’s Hellfighters”… just an incredible individual.

His first name was GYSGT. That was all that we needed to know. --AOC, Class 29-88.

Each time we watch this, it not only rreinforces the pride we have as American's, it shows the devotion to protect and serve our country. Thank you very much all men and women who presently are serving, who have served our country, and most especially those who paid the ultimate price to protect us and keep us free. We are able to choose what we would like to do at any given time of the day or night because of you. Thank you. You are appreciated more than you'll ever know.

The gunny retired as a 1st sgt and is now a congressman from Iowa or somewhere like that

Play this at 25% speed......funny as hell.😂

I was an enlisted in the Army at Pensacola at the time. We used to go to NAS and watch the DIs yell at officers and think, poor guys, they probably thought when they joined as officers they wouldn't have to do this shit. Then they would get in their dress unis and come over to NTTC and try to get us to salute. I remember one that tried to dress me down, to which I informed him, come back at graduation and I'll gladly render my respect, until that time hit the bricks candidate. He wasn't happy, and I never saw him again after that; kind of wished he'd have come back for that salute, I would have been as good as my word. - lol Sad part is I went back there a few years ago and all those buildings are pretty much gone or completely renovated due to the hurricane. I remember when the survival school was also a museum you could visit. Now it's completely separate; asked a candidate where the where they did carrier 'quals' now that there wasn't a carrier in P-Cola anymore, he informed me they don't even really fly there anymore either.

Proud member of Class 08-78 (honor). Sgt. Johnson was outstanding. 21 in, 10 commissions, 7 wings.

This was the first GoPro Camera inuse and the first Vlogging ever.

As a Marine who graduated from Parris Island and OCS, this video makes me chuckle! Our Drill Instructors are outstanding and give everyone a fresh perspective on life 😂

Brings a tear to my eye. We he calls out the Jody at the end, pure joy.

This sure brings back a lot of memories. I graduated with Class 21-86 "Sosa's Blackjacks"; Drill Instructor was SSgt Jose Sosa, USMC.

I love this video! Thanks!

Wow, there are a lot of similarities still in Pensacola to this day. I remember in Naval Aircrew Candidate School @9:06 taking a picture after graduation in front of that bird which is now a different fighter. Down the street is the Navy Yard where I’d eat chow with the boys before swimming in flight gear. The next scene is literally the ‘ol Aircrew barracks. I’d march all of my Marines in that exact spot there every morning facing the same way. How times haven’t changed.

This was easier than Class 39-71, GYSGT J.F. Ogden USMC and LT T.J. Prall, USN, Class Officer. But, about 1/3 of us made it through. I retired in 1992 after flying Phantoms for most of my career. It was worth it!

Gunny Francis Xavier Donahue Non Commissioned Officer in Charge Battalion II - trained officer here (if you were there, you know my pain). Gunny Holt was a presence we in Batt II skillfully avoided at all cost. The man is a legend.

@8:04 what’re you doing Macklin ? WHAT ARE YOU DOING MACKLIN?! WHY ARE YOU EYEBALLING AREA?! WHY ARE YOU EYEBALLING AREA?!

Sgt Holt was our drill instructor Platoon 1126 MCRD 1980

OUTFREAKINGSTANDING!, Gunny Holt! Shoulda' been YOU instead of Lou Gossett Jr. in "Officer & A Gentleman"!

My cousin was in Desert Storm. He advised me to watch this video how D.I.s we’re back then.

Class 25-76, Batt 2. Looking for the older version of Pressure Point, late 70's. Oh, memories of SSGT Little and Marsden

My dad was a seabee station there. And I was born there in 71 December 7th.

AOC Class 29-69, SSG Timothy Rapes - a fine DI. The best part of my 32 years in the navy and army.

I was in 12-89 GySgt Woodring's First Class. I sure remember GySgt Holt and that they were filming this with one of his graduating classes.

Brings So many funny thoughts and Good Feelings !! Class 40- 82

1:52 i felt the spit through my phone

“Heya sarge”

Still shooting film in 1990. Well, hot dawg!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING MAQUELIN, WHY ARE YOU EYEBALLING THE AREA?!?! 😆

After watching this last night, I set to thinking- "who trains the DI's?" I'd be curious to see a doc on how they train these guys to be how they are, haha. I really wanted to be a DI when I was in high school, however a health issue kept me out of the military....so off to college I went!

Takes a Marine to make a Naval Officer. Semper Fi!

like how you edit the rank like I'm blind

I wonder when is the 3rd “pressure point” going to be filmed

I have to go to Pensecola for flight training for 1 year before I even get into the Fleet!

SSgt (now MGySgt Ret) Kerr.. 39-82.. Lean & Mean, Sky High, & Supersonic

@1:45 NO NO YOU ARE NOT LOUD ENOUGH!!NOW YOU ARE NOT LOUD ENOUGH!!!

"...the loose screw in the landing gear?" Not a single word in that question was correct.

Severe allergies hit my eyes when the gysgt holt shook macklins hand..brought back memories of graduating boot camp

I was 14-89. Very cool.

That barrel nut sticking out of door three doesn't look like a screw on the landing gear to me...

Gunny Holt looks and sounds a lot like one of my DIs 🤔 reminds me a lot of Ssgt Crave

Where's the part showing them learning to play volleyball and wear two pair of sunglasses?

Class 10-78 Gunnery Sergeant Daggs......best in the business. 2,300 Tomcat hours later, yep it was worth it...........Pigpen

Crazy how little Marine D.I.'s have changed SFMF!

How many aircraft did it take them to figure out that it had to be 6" ?

ThAnKssss

Forgive me for not mentioning Gunny Matthew’s and Robbins…. I just couldn’t remember they’re names after all these years.

Gunny Jones was our Drill Instructor (05-87). Fear of God stuff!

pensacola, building 626 is aircrew candidate school now ha

If any of our classmates from 09-89 that are all over this film. Gunney Holt, Antichrist is classic. Does anyone have the tryout bootleg DI tryout video video we got a hold of , SSGT Hudson roast,for our graduation party, get a hold of me. I saw Parker in the classroom, Dowd in the classroom, I'm shining shoes, and SSGT Robbins is screaming at us in the obstacle course. Matwichuck, Parker, Dowd, Dion, keep in touch

Watch this at 2× speed. Definitely worth it🤣

Epic 🇺🇸

Does Leaf Filter keep "PIE NEEDLES" out of the gutters?

Damn I miss the corps

Eric cooper you need to see this

Ha ha, brain housing group, havent heard that in years.

What is that coin thing the DI gets from the candidate at the end of training? What's its symbolism?

What camera were they using to get the pov?

1:06 Did I mishear it or did I hear “non-commissioned officer in charge of Italian wine”?

Class 14-87, Batt II, SSgt Sosa, USMC

is that the son of Bill Kilgore

1:02 What did the sailor say here?

The drill instructor looks familiar. Does anyone know who he is?

33-87, Mountain Climbers, MOUNTIAN CLIMBERS, GET UM!!!

Ooh rah gunny and Semper Fidelis.

Drill instructor Sgt Holt my DI San Diego 1031 C Co 1981.

I'm so glad I did not join the Army, my life working at the local IGA has been so much fun. Last week I pushed in 34 carts at once!
