the DI wanted to laugh but he was honestly annoyed the recruit put his sweatpants on backwards💀

Oh god. I never realized how funny this shit was until after I went through it.

The quiet "fix yourself" got me.

They were frightening in First Phase, but after 3rd Phase, Drill Instructors were some of the funniest people I’ve ever dealt with. They’d try to make you laugh and smoked you on the quarterdeck if you lost your bearing.

Morgan freeman: the platoon was not at pt

I absolutely live for the recruit corrections. Rraahhh... Keep'em Coming!

I remember seeing this recruit. I watched Ears Open Eyeballs Click before I joined the Corps. Looking back like wow. It was the longest 5 years of my life and now its over. And its already been a year since I been out. Time flies as you get older. For you guys in the Corps that are itching to get out, no one can stop time abd eventually you will be out...BUT.....cherish your times with the guys you serve with and stand up for yourself when need be. You are a Man before anything else. Marines don't let stupid Marines take advantage of them. But also know the difference between tradition, paying for your action and being someone elses entertainment (mainly for my 03 guys). Rah

This is the best on camera DI/Recruit interaction I've ever seen.

When Drill Instructor's talk quiet like this is scarier than them yelling.

The fact that the recruit and the DI looked like they wanted to laugh lol

Damn, the Marine Corps went out of their way to give this kid a free set of pajamas, and he doesn't even have the common courtesy to put them on right....... lol

Lmao. Something similar happened to me in boot camp. I was sweeping and my SDI came in and I reported my post saying there are no recruits on deck sir. He said what are u. I said 1 recruit on deck sir. He said who’s in the head. I said 2 recruits on deck sir. I swear after that I lived on the quarter deck

It was at this moment that the recruit realized he fucked up

I watch these and I'm almost crying now with laughter. Its been 35years since I was there in his place. 35 years since I graduated high school and left 2 weeks after graduation. As an 18 year old kid, the things I saw and heard are forever with me. Everything. Good and bad and those that go will see bad. Still memories of not laughing when someone was getting slayed. Hell, I got slayed a few times. That's what it is. Gotta say though, if the camera wasn't there, it would have been different with the recruits sweats. I can see him being made to repeatedly take off and put on his sweats. Also can see him being made to March around saying something like, "Mommy didn't teach this recruit how to dress." 🤣

hahaha, gotta love bootcamp! Never will forget it, even as it's been 25 years since graduation, I can still hear the screams, the yells, and every thing attributed.

Gotta love moments like the first part of the video. After everyones kinda settled into the recruit schedule and the genuine light-hearted mistakes are free game for DI's to have "fun" with. There were many great moments like that where you couldnt laugh at or the DI has to cover their face with their campaign cover and gives you like 2 1/2 seconds to smile

the DI from the first clip is now a master gunnery sergeant and the maintenance chief at my squadron LMAO crazy to see him like this

I love how when you turn the caption on it just says “drill instructor chaos”

You could tell the other recruit is about to laugh.

Marine Corps Bootcamp training, Drill instructors are the best

Truly the funniest place where laughing isnt allowed😂😂

I lost it when he spun the dude in sweats around 😂

Pvt Pyle what are you trying to do to my beloved core?!

Is that the same recruit they made do the lollipop kid. If so lmao. He'll get there some day

Back at it with the bangers!

As entertaining as this is to watch, I feel like it's an extremely important lesson. I can picture the reporting of incorrect information to your superior officers as having catastrophic consequences in combat...DI's teach these young people how to save lives. Thank you to all marines!!!

This guy is the one!!

The tension when I realized what that recruit did wrong made me start sweating.

These three guys should go out as a comedy act. I lost it watching this. Poor recruit probably was trying so hard to put his clothes on so fast that morning that he put his pants on backwards - which probably happens more than we think in MCRD.

Looking back at this now, we would all laugh at this, but back then, we weren't laughing. Every little thing we did was being watched, and that made it stressful in the beginning, cause we were afraid of making a mistake and getting smoked behind that mistake. For those who think they would of never made the mistakes shown here, have probably never been in these kind of stressful situations, when you never know what's going to happen next, except that of what the drill instructor tells you to do.

I don’t know how recruits keep a straight face. I would be laughing so hard.

That first kinds voice is completely shot 😂😂

Lol! Put his sweat pants on backwards... That was comedy. I'm sure the DI's laugh it up when the recruits arent around.

DI smirk was hilarious

Laughed my whole way through boot camp at some the most hilarious shit I’ve heard in my lifetime and they def made sure to handle it on the quarter deck but all in all it made me a better Marine ! Semper Fidelis !!

This brought back so many memories 😂😂😂

No body: Drill instructor: We already made the damn string with the..............(hold on I’ll get it)........ THE DAMN TAG ON THE BACK

The amount of memorizing that went on....

Marine DI's have the greatest ways of making a point.

im never gonna pass basic training if i cant resist myself laughing my ass off at these videos

It’s a piece of paper. It doesn’t weigh anything!

these videos have become my daily morning coffee..

This warms my black heart!

Welp,...he gets to wear those backwards til graduation

This dude is famous in youtube.

Lmao! Now, that (wearing the PT gear backwards) is funny as hell. I never saw that in boot camp or anywhere.

"the platoon is currently at PT" *Sadly for this recruit, the platoon was NOT at PT*

15 seconds in that DI is smirking like hell. You know he wants to say “dumbass”.

Yeah, bring back those memories. 1st Bn Aco plt 1050, July 6th 2001...

Ah yes...the pants on backwards...classic new recruit. That and catching your Joes with the gloves on the wrong hands.

God i miss being a recruit..... Semper Fi, fellas!

The quiet “fix yourself” was the thing that had me. I was like damn.

Poor bastard is thinking "I should have spent 5 more minutes with that Air Force recruiter."

I feel like when a drill instructor is smoking a recruit with a auiet tone, that's when they are most pissed off about something.

I never saw my drill instructors smile

These Drill instructors are my hero and my mentor in never give up and protect our home of the U.S.A

Look at the bs these guys go through, all to protect us while we sleep. Every American who watches videos like this where DIs put the pressure on recruits and then laugh in the comment section... that's fine and I hope these guys can laugh at themselves later too, but civilians oughta know they owe these men nothing but respect and gratitude.

Every platoon needs a good rock 🪨

When he said nothing the second time, I died. 😂

he probably still graduated

That kid was probably so fucking exhausted and missing mom. The funny thing is drills get it and they understand but sympathy and empathy never killed anyone

There are countless videos of this kid getting absolutely annihilated by the DI's😂

That Drill Instructor is so nice

I bought a truck from a Marine. Took me a week clearing out the crayon wrappers in the back seat. Glad I joined the Army!

Sgt Maranan was one of my drill instructors lol, trip to see

1:26 - It was at this moment the he knew.... He f--cked up!!!

Boot camp was actually really easy. The only difficult part was lack of sleep and poor nutrition. Facts

Reminds me of the times when I was a hat... The worst ones are the recruits who wear their left shower shoe on their right foot and their right shower shoe on their left foot. For some reason, these dudes are always the ones that trip lol

Oh my...takes me back 30 years...

Bet he started looking for that tag from now on 🤣🤣

You never forget your DI. 50 years later I can still smell his breath.

I absolutely love this shit for real...... gave me one of the hardest laughs I've had in a while! OO-RAH!

This had me CRYING LAUGHING

I can't wait until I have the opportunity to become a DI. I think I'd be able to come up with some pretty creative ways to "instill discipline"

The frustration is palpable.

The Deck Toweling that is going on in the back of the first clip brings back memory's

I never got to serve because MEPS denied me. But when I joined the fire service my training officer was a former drill instructor and my academy pretty much went like this.

The hardest part of Basic Training was containing my laugh while other trainees were getting smoked or getting their asses chewed off by a Drill Sergeant .

Hope that recruit takes these videos in good humor in life. Learns from this mistakes!

Holy crap this guy is in a lot of the videos and is the center of attention in most of them, was he recruit can't get right?

It’s 13 weeks of Simon says. With no right answers.

This recruit is like why did I join?

Used to crack me up when recruits used to put there boxers on backwards with the the pee hole in back. " So so are we expecting a friend tonight?"

Lmfaoooooo I miss boot camp so much shit was really funny.

As a retired army puke it’s funny to watch Reminds me of my Drill Sergeants in my basic All Vietnam vets And our senior drill was a near retirement Korean War veteran But that guy , even for a Army puke was a mean bastard and still out pt us And loved to do bayonet training Telling us how he earned his DSC in Korea in hand to hand fighting

This recruit couldn’t catch a break lol

Ruiz is one of a kind

This would have been classic: Recruit: The platoon is at PT sir! DI: How can the platoon be at PT when they’re all in the head?!? Recruit: The platoon is Potty Training sir!

about now he's wishing he'd stay at home

DI’s in action. Same recruit. 😂

Never seen anyone walk away from that.

Oh, the backward pants!🤣

The opening was a classic soup sandwich

Subbed! ♥️🤙🏾🙏🏾

They should do a where are they now episode. Interested to find out who made it a career, who went on to do great things once their initial enlistment was complete and so on.

Stroll down memory lane

I would have my ash thrashed till my heart stopped lol

This was horrific then, but it's hilarious now, years later seeing some other poor bastards go through it 😆

Rivera was a special child wasnt he...

I'm willing to bet you that the recruit with his pants on backwards will be a future DI. Who's up for that bet. 👍🏿👍🏿😁
