I don't think I've ever seen a shirt more perfectly fit a human being.

6:35 "YOU'RE DONE! YOU'RE DOOOOONNNNNEEE!!" *starts to walk away but realizes there was no response. Aggressively steps back.* "AYE-AYE SIR!!!" *scared everyone so bad that they all responded*

11:40 “Plane ticket, you don’t need it! You’re already here!” HAHAHAHA

"Is this a form of identification?" "Yes sir." *Rage mode activated* "IT LOOKS LIKE A DRIVERS LICENSE! IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO IN THE FRIGGIN BAG!" LMAO gets me every time

this guy was my DI in 2008, we were his first company. He definitely appears to have gotten better at the job!

Drill Instructor:WHATYOUGONNADOISYOUGONNAGRABDISBADANDYOUGONNASTICKSOANDSOINTHISBAGYOUUNDERSTANDTHAT Recruits: YES SIR

I was a Drill Sergeant in the Army and sure appreciate all these men do in all branches. Semper Fidelis men!

That senior looked sharp as hell. Uniform was immaculate.

I stood on the Yellow Footpints and thought "Oh my God, what have I done!" Anyone else have the same thought at that moment?

Face the red bins now! Aye aye, sir! Take one step back now! Aye aye, sir! Take one hop foward now! Aye aye, sir! Cha cha real smooth now! Aye aye, sir!

He is one of the best drill instructors that have been filmed and released on KZfaq. I'm sure there are many others, but from what I can watch he is the best. Do you understand?

My son went through 4 years ago and he said everybody on the bus was crapping their pants knowing what was coming. Once he was in he enjoyed it even though it was tough. He is so proud to be a Marine. Semper Fi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best advice for anyone going to boot camp is do not take anything. All you need is the shirt on your back, your jeans, i.d. card and that's it. It will make your life so much easier.

"You have 60 seconds, DO IT NOW!" **15 seconds later** "Five-four-three-two-one you are done, aye-aye sir!"

I am 60 now and went through bootcamp in 1979. I so wish I could do it all over again. As tough as that time was it was the best time of my life. It taught me courage and I was in the best physical shape I have ever been in after that.

7:30 That, “YOU’RE DONE! in the background kills me lol

"If you have any form of identification...I don't care if it's a freaking library card" hahaha that had me cracking up

This is one of the main reasons I went into the Air Force! God Bless the MARINES!!!

We got there some time at night and we never went to sleep. That was 1968 for me...Nam Vet Chu Lai 68-69 and 1938 for my dad...WW2 Vet. Sad to say, he never talked about it and he passed before I hit 17, so he never saw me join and we never got to swap Boot Camp stories. Miss you dad.

So this is what my little brother Loren went thru. I would not have been so brave. Lol... Thanks to all news recruits and veterans for their service. 👍👏🙏 prayers for you all on journey.

Man I miss those days!! A lot of Marines might say they hated boot camp but not me. It was some of the worst but best times of my life. There's things and Marines I'll never forget from boot camp. I made some of the best brothers a man could ask for. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Graduated Parris Island Jan. 2006,Plt 2001 Honor Platoon. Senior Drill Instructor SSgt Pheonix,Drill Instructor SSgt Scotese and Drill Instructor Sgt Crosby.

I admire the Drill Instuctors ability to create CHAOS.

I love this video. The dedication and passion for training those recruits comes through. To mold Marines and to not dishonor the Veterans and the fallen Marines abd their families. There is a level of respect, tradition, and dedication that must be reached in order to attain that title.

I went through in 1983. I would not change anything in my life. Becoming a MARINE was the single most influence in my life and directed me to success. 2/5 & 2/23. 0311. Semper Fidelis.

I appreciated the very clear instructions. It was very satisfying to be prepped for what you're about to do in very clear commands before you do it, so you can all execute the move together in one swift motion. When I was in boot camp, I didn't feel lost, I always knew what I needed to do. It was the first time in my life I felt I could accomplish anything.

5:45 The DI said sorry to that guy because he kicked a paper and it almost hit him! He must be a higher rank? I got mad respect for that DI, while he's in the zone he still aware of his actions and respected the guy in the Cammies.

I remember watching this before boot camp. Fast forward a few years to when I PCSed to 2/8 the SSgt in the very beginning was my company 1Sgt. It truly is a small Marine Corps

Even though I watched tens of KZfaq videos, and I was so prepared for this moment to be screamed at, when it finally came....... I was so excited and happy I forgot what I watched and just wanted to genuinely expedience what others have experienced before me

"You have 40 seconds..." 10 seconds later... "YOU'RE DONE!"

10 AUG. 1965....Ya gotta love these Admin. Instructors. We as well, stood before a wooden bench. We were handed a cardboard box. You stripped down , placed everything in that box. You sealed that box and addressed it to your home. You were then issued a pair of skives , T-shirt , socks, BDU's and our favorite....The old `Yellow` sweat shirt. Then you received a wonderful `Aluminum bucket` , accompanied with a pack of clothes pins & scrub brush. Going back a little , we were brought in to MCRD in a covered 6X...so you didn't know how ya got there or where ya were. We spent "I believe" Ha ha...2 days in that barracks , then marched to our proper platoons at our Quonset huts. 8 weeks later we graduated from boot camp & went to Camp Pendleton for I.T.R & A.C.T. for 4 weeks. Home for a week....Then to staging for Vietnam. We did in 12 weeks , what they now do in 16 weeks. This was due to needing replacement Marines in Nam. By Feb. 1966 ( 2 1/2 months in country) I was 12th senior man in my company , I was told to take my R & R then or loose it. My platoon consisted of....My squad 2 of us....1st squad 6 men....3rd squad 3 men. 4th squad was gone. This was by June 1966. By the end of Oct. 1966 , I had been standing in one spot to long , bad hair day. MediVaced out. 18 months later & 21 operations , released from hospital to Marine Re-hab Company. 1 Jan 1971....Med. Retirement. As Archie Bunker would say, "Those were the days my friend" !

My favorite of the DI’s in the training library we have on KZfaq.

I was Navy. 1992 I went to RTC Orlando. I thought football coaches yelled and cursed! Best time of my life! Happy Veterans Day to all who served, and happy birthday to the Marine Corps!

"whats this!?" "AYE SIR"

9:16 Hanging across your body like you are freaking Rambo, holy shit this Drill Instructor is awesome

Super proud of my son to be one of the best! USMC

6:58 Is this some form of identification? It looks like a DRIVER'S LICENSE!!! IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO IN THE FREAKIN' BAG!! PICK IT UP, PUT IT IN THE BAG!

What's funny about being an older guy who's been through it as a kid I actually feel bad for the DI's. Tedious work especially for the guys who are on duty to fill in on arrival night. They have to go through this organized stupidity they've seen a million times and keep up the orchestrated intensity.

If there is anything that can be given great props to the D.I. is how perfectly well their uniforms are on. Absoultely perfect. It looks practically sprayed on. They must know a lot of tricks to get cloth to look perfect all the time.

Shoutout to those who made it through Marine Corps boot camp

Guy around 11:00 had the bag under his right arm, he got lucky on that one.

I went through Air Force basic training in the 70's and Officer Training School in the 80's. Both were tough programs; lots of drop outs; however, there was a lot less screaming by our instructors. These recruits when they graduate will turn out to be dedicated, loyal Marines - willing and able to defend the country. To all my fellow military members - as well as their families - Happy Independence Day holiday. Be well and stay safe.

I'm 83 yrs old and still remember much of what occurred at Parris Island when I was a 17 yr old recruit!

6:18, “I don’t care if it’s a freaking library card.” 😆😆

"Does it sound like I have polyps on my vocal cords?" YES SIR!

"Hang the bag around ur neck like ur fricken Rambo" haha

Turn on your Closed Captioning and let the fun begin😂😂

I went through recruit training at MCRD San Diego in '98. Platoon 1108 with Drill Instructors Sgt. Marion Sgt. Mejia and Senior Drill Instructor Ssgt. Clark. I had the lowest physical fitness test score in my platoon the whole time I was on the Depot. Ashamed as I should be but I still love the Corps.

That drill instructor, holy hell hes awesome

That guy in the front with the black shirt fucked up so many times haha

"You have 50 seconds! Do it now!" Marine time is much faster than our regular clocktime.

Much respect to the DI giving the orders. I was always wondering how drill instructors of all branches uniform be soo crisp and squared away

Is that John Wayne? Is this me?

Outstanding performance by all the DI's especially the highly feared and respected SDI. Recruits need this kind of motivation and resolve to become part of an elite force. Oorah!

Sometimes, I regret not reenlisting and spending a few years yelling at other people’s kids. Semper fi

They've only been there a few minutes, but already getting in sync with their responses. Good kids

Look at the red bins, now back to me. Look at the red bins, now back at me. I am not that red bin.

I love how fast he counts. Fairly old video, too. It's crazy to think most of these guys have served and are probably already out of the military. 🇺🇸

The military can offer three necessary benefits as you travel through life: Focus, discipline, and respect. All whom successfully completed their tours have those baked into their lives... forever. Those in this clip are receiving it.

he's very good i am glad i went through it. at 19 was well worth it.

Meanwhile in U.S Army...."Please hurry up guys"

Wow........I can only imagine how many of those recruits are thinking "What the hell have I gotten myself into". Takes a unique individual for sure to endure this. Thanks for your service!

The first day- When DI’s still Have voices and the recruits still have a spirit.

Never gets old

Maaaan, i am uploading this to my gym playlist! This guy's voice absolutely pumped me! respect to those people!

At 5:45 the one Sergeant kicks a manila folder, not seeing the Marine coming around the corner. Can't tell what his rank is but I see a lot of black. Maybe a Master Gunnery Sergeant? Anyhow, you see the Sergeant kinda move his hands in the "oops, I didn't mean to kick that folder at ya, I was going rage mode!" type gesture. Haha!

You have 50 seconds do it now! 50,49,48,47,46,45,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 YOU'RE DONE! He skipped like 30 numbers lol 😂

The most frightening moment wasn't this for me. Honestly this was the welcome part because it meant I was getting to day 1 of training. For me it was the layover in Charlotte, NC. Nothing but time to consider the decision, the stress, states away from everything and everyone i ever knew. Watching the sun go down knowing a long night was coming......the absolute worst

"THAT IS A CONDOM AND YOU WILL NOT USE IT HERE!!!!!" 😂🤣

Motivated brand new recruits. Lot more organized than I remember. They'll be fine

Probably the most badass DI I’ve seen on KZfaq

I LOVE IT. WE NEED REAL MEN LIKE THIS MAN NOTHING ELSE. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR THIS COUNTRY ❤️.

Hes actually being pretty nice to the new recruits....they should feel lucky.

as recruit for any branch of the military, why on god's green earth would you bring an MP3 player. you're not going to boot camp to have a fucking sleep over. you're going to boot camp to become a young mature adult

I can bet alot that in that moment more than one recruit is thinking to themselves, "WTF did I get myself into," and probably slightly regreting signing up for this in the first place.

Memories! I went through MCRD San Diego from May 18 1989 to August 18, 1989. 2nd RT BN, H Co, PLT 2046. Semper Fi!!

Sorry for the ignorance, civilian but first responder here, the drill instructor mentioned if someone was prior service that they had to hold out their ID. Can you/do you have to repeat boot camp if you switch services? For example, go from Amy to marines, or Navy to Marines, or Air Force to Army?

They are easy to understand. Much easier than most college professors speaking softly and clearly.

YOU'RE DONE!!!! YOU"RE DONE!!!!!

Thank you for your leadership

This is wild. Watching now this doesn’t seem all that crazy or intense… especially knowing what comes later for these recruits. But in the moment this was one of the craziest things of ever experienced.

The voice of the drill instructor in charge makes him so badass :o

I’ve been through this exact same thing 39 Years earlier at mcrd San Diego and was stationed at Camp Pendleton with the first marine division Semper fi carry on

Damn, this is motivating! All I want to do now is go on a little run, just for fun...

I went through Parris Island in 1968, this was a big awakening, you also didn’t shit for 2 weeks!

"Like you're freaking Rambo" best line ever

This is no doubt what my lil bro is going through right now. I wish you the best of luck!

Sgt Westwood was my drill instructor while Parrish Island plt 3006 9/23/72 - 12/22/72 first duty station 29 Palms Marine Corps Base, been looking for this Marine for some time.

Drill Instructors always looked sharp. I stood on those yellow footprints. I was 17 years old and 120 lbs soaking wet! What a great time!

oh the memories ... love it .. best 6 years of my life from boot camp to the 15th MEU.

The life of a Drill Instructor is boot camp boot camp boot camp. He or She has no other life, I think it takes a special kind of person to become a drill Instructor

Well done!!! Their heads are spinning, going on TILT, thoughts of, "What in the hell did I myself into?!" Semper Fi.

Aaahhhh. Memories. It's the most fun you never want to have again.

This is my old lifting partner and friend in the Corps Brody Goldthwaite. He was goofy but always a motivated dude.

"Go away, go away now scream aye sir" that had me cracking upppp 😂😂😂😂

This is the true meaning of motivation.

"YOU MOVE AT ONE SPEED THAT IS MY SPEED GOT IT"

I love it. USAF Basic training too many years ago at 18. These instructors are doing great work and making men and Marines out of civilians. If you don't understand just why this is they way they do it, just be darn glad there are men who go to defend and serve and you don't have to.

Flashbacks... What a great time. I loved it.... (especially now that it's long behind me)

I won't ever forget those men ever! Been since 1993 platoon 1052 1st battalion Delta company Best thing that ever happened to me

That drill sergeant's shirt is crispy as phuck
