Hey hey, 3:14 the old crome dome. I was 17 when I arrived at Parris Island on August 17, 1964. I'm 71 now. But that doesn't necessarily mean that I was Old Corps. All the Marines who proceeded me were older Corps than I was. UPDATE: I'm now 76 and my health is failing. Thank goodness I have the VA to provide me with free Healthcare; and I get a disability check from the VA for $1,200 every month (tax free). The best thing I ever did was join the Marine Corps. I learned a trade in the Corps which was electronics repair, and after the Corps I had a 25 year career as a Sales Engineer with a top electronics company. I used the GI Bill to go to college and graduated from Florida State University in 1973. I'm retired on 5 country acres near Louisville, Kentucky. I've been married 49 years. If there are any young men out there reading this who are considering joining the military, I recommend the United States Marine Corps. There's some woke bullshit in all the service branches these days, but in the Corps it's kept to a minimum. Don't let all that LBGTQ crap stop you. Boot camp is tough, but you can make it if you get in shape and remember that much of boot camp is head games. Go online and download the 11 General Orders and memorize them. Run at least one mile a day, and do pull-ups and push-ups until you build upper body strength. Once you become a Marine it will change your life forever. You'll be part of a close and proud brotherhood, and you'll gain an esprit de Corps that you'll take to your grave. Never forget that once a Marine, always a Marine.

When I was in Parris Island the drill instructors literally beat us. We got hit all the time. Punched, kicked, slapped, everything. Ran all day until everyone puked and ran some more until we all puked again then we had to clean up our own puke with our own shower towels. Had all of our gear kicked out of our foot lockers and kicked up and down the squad bay and then we had 30 seconds to find all of our gear and put it back. Never leave your gear unsecured! God help you if they find your rifle unsecured. You would barely come back alive from that. You'll spend hours in the sand pits getting drilled and PT'ed until you literally passed out and you've eaten 5 pounds of sand. God help you if you killed a sand flea that was biting you. They'd make us dig a full sized grave to bury that little sand flea gnat in.... I got shoved over my foot locker into the metal frame of the sleeping rack, punched once which knocked me out for a few minutes, slapped and kicked a few more times. Some of the other recruits got worse treatment than that. One guy got kicked so hard in the ribs when his knees touched the deck while doing push ups that a few of his ribs got broken. Another recruit got smacked across the face so hard it broke his jaw bone. Another recruit got throat chopped so hard it crushed his voice box and he couldn't yell for over a month. We didn't complain, we didn't talk back, we didn't try to get away with stuff, that was simply punishment for mistakes. One person messes up and we all paid for it dearly. Marine Corps bootcamp was the hardest 13 weeks of my life. We had over 120 recruits in my platoon at the start and we graduated with 77. But in the end we was fearless, strong, fit, sharp, tough as hell, and ready to go kill. They made us fight each other, crawl hundreds of yards in mud under barbed wire while pushing two 30 pound ammo cans in front of us and you had to keep your face pushed down into the mud, the gas chamber...... good God the gas chamber.... that was the day we all thought we was going to fucking die.The EGA ceremony after we got back from the crucible was such a relief. There wasn't one recruit with a dry eye when that EGA was put in their hand and got called a Marine for the first time EVER! No matter how old you get in life or what you go through, you will never forget your time in bootcamp.

I attended boot camp at Parris Island in the summer/fall of 1970 for 14 weeks followed by 6 weeks of infantry training at Camp Geiger -- then service until June, 1974. Because of service-related stuff, I started getting 50% disability in Oct, 2016. The Vets at the VA hospital say that I earned it and that any older guy who served during the Vietnam Era should also get it! We will always have the VA, and young kids in Afghanistan, Iraq and such need to keep track of service-related injuries and problems in case they ever need to apply for disability.

It was not that calm in PI in '71 either. Remember this was a recruiting video. They want it to look tough but not scare recruits away. Many of us Volunteered for the Marine Corps in '71. Some were given a choice by a judge jail or the Suck. But many of us wanted to be there. And the draft was winding down then as troop numbers in Country were being reduced. I think it was at the beginning of '72 all of the Marine combat troops had been pulled out. The only Jarheads left were the Marine Security Battalion at the Embassy ans Consulates.

my dad came from this area and was a pretty clear person who was the only person who will provide protection and support to his children. he had been there when it meant something. it’s amazing how i had the best dad ever to me when it meant learning how to survive without schools or race and asked for help from parents only not other than being close to home because time was running short early bed rise and fall off time was the leading reason to not have a child sleeping overnight

Wow I was expecting more complete and utter chaos. This receiving looks substantially calmer than receiving when I went to the depot in San Diego a year ago. No one including myself knew what the hell was going on. There was more than one Drill Instructor and they were flying all over the place, sweating in their Chucks, screaming louder than any of us at the time could fathom.

***** Yeah, looks tame compared to when I went through Parris Island in 1990. However, most of these recruits weren't there willingly, these are draftees and full of amphibian shit. Also, any documentary coming out at the time, I wouldn't be surprised if it was purposely tamed because the military as a whole was under fire from the public. I'm sure when the cameras went away, there was a whole different experience waiting for those recruits.

Your story is quite normal actually in the Marine Corps numbers. It seems to be just part of the fraternity of the Devil Dogs. We have needed such men in combat overseas. World War I and World War II proved it out, along with the other modern Wars. I am a 6 year veteran also. The services can make people pretty mean. I grew up with it so I know very well. When I left for the military as a teenager, I was already indoctrinated to brutality, anger and a regimented life. My father was a sergeant from the Korean War

My cousin went through SFAS in '72 and the shit he said they made them do was ridiculous, he said a few guys died in his class from training. In the winter one fell to his death on what they called Slide for Life which was a tree you free climbed up to 100ft then rode a zipline out across a narrow river (20ft wide) then you'd drop from about 60ft up and land in freezing water then swim up stream about 100 yards, get out and go run 6 miles to warm up. Well he said the guy missed the river and hit the rocks and died, a few others hit the water and were knocked out. Then another guy didn't have his gun on safety and they were all talking and it went off and it blew another guys head off right infront of my cousin and he said after that he said he never seen or heard from that guy who's gun went off

People can try to prepare as best they can, but unless you go through it yourself and earn that Eagle, Globe, and Anchor at the end of 13 weeks(Or the Crucible for the young bucks and buckettes), you’ll never truly understand USMC, 87-91

The Marines from the 70s and earlier would not recognized the Marine Corps today. Allowing men to join who identify as women allowing women to come in and try to go infantry and lower the standards. We should not be a social experiment. If it doesn't make us more combat effective and more of a lethal killer then we should have nothing to do with it as far as the Marine Corps goes.
