What's up...

a trick: watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

@Jakob Cayson Yup, I've been using flixzone for months myself =)

@@jakobcayson8644 we qe

Ps SPL are.

I went to Parris Island but I agree every time I drive past san diego I can still hear the screams

Good times for sure! The first 2 weeks sucked but it was worth it, the bonds that were made are priceless!

@Mr. Third Eye Sand Hill?

PI here class of '09 i miss this

So true. Felt like a literal eternity while you’re in it. The experience was like living a different life.

He sounds like a WWE superstar… Ahhh the fear, the pain, half of your shit kicked down the squad bay…beautiful.

well its true

Sad moment

I have always been impressed with Marines who were set back and then making it through. One of biggest fears was being sent away from my platoon. MCRD San Diego, 1974. Platoon 3086.

What year did you go to MCRD?

And you still made it. Definition of Marines. Difficulty makes you hard but it does not prevent you. You got heart.

Semper Fi!

Lol...GET OFF MY LAWN....NOW GET BACK AND SCREAM AYYYEEE SIR!!

@@TheOgBambam1991 🤣 I have never been in the military though I did attempt to enlist at my local recruiting office and went through the screening pre-screening process-- the most embarrassing thing having an old guy giving you a physical. Can you actually become friends with your DI's after recruit training?

Please tell me the DI's really don't HATE you as a their recruit?!? hahaha!

@@wwcwcp09 they hate you

no its because he moved (his leg) watch carefully

You really think the DI was secretly being kind? 😆 Especially on black friday? Yeah ok... Look again, he highlighted himself

@@stetswat4 never said kind, I said “he did him a favor.” Now to be exactly clear I was being sarcastic AF.

Thanks for the info, I was wondering why lol, they pay attention to detail

At army bct when an angry drill did that angry walk up to me my blood ran cold

Lol I couldnt tell you 90% of the grade school, high school, college teachers and most of the people in those classes. But like you said I can see most of everything we did in detail at boot camp, the other recruits, DI's. And this was a few months before 9-11. Best thing I ever did, and tell people if I knew how much of this changed my life, I would have paid them without second thought.

What is the history behind the DI's screaming constantly?? I know WHY but not the history.

@@wwcwcp09 to take the recruits out of their element, their comfort zone. Pushing them. Making pure chaos. Constantly rushed. Punished for failing easy tasks. Pretty much reset the person going through recruit training. Really is an amazing experience. It forces team work with stranger. People you've never met from all over the country. Really great times. Difficult to explain. Never regretted it.

​@@wwcwcp09basic training has involved yelling and screaming since Greek and Roman times.

Yes mid 80s for me and no KZfaq to check out boot camp videos hahaha went in blind not knowing what to expect.

I agree LEATHERDAWG!

😃

He escaped hell right there 😂😭

He is lucky as heck that none of the DIs saw that

@@SongsFromTheTrenchesMain 😂😂😂

Excessive movement kills!

So much this. We always regret not being better.

I agree fully. I went to Parris Island in 08 at 28. I was the Old man. The DIs fucked with me so bad. But being older gave me alot more experience than kids outta HS. I had kids, was married, had some life under my belt and I was going down the wrong path. This truly saved my life. I think every kid should have to go to Boot camp and serve a total of 1 year. This country would be a better place. If you got no momma or daddy they teach you what you need to know through life. Everyone said I'd never make it. I didn't like orders or to be told what to do, but I actually enjoyed the hell out of it. My son went through last year following my steps going into Infantry. I was a 0352, 0331 in a CAT platoon. Changed to MAP after. Filling out a will really puts things into perspective. I wish I could've went back with my son and went through again. It was challenging then but you miss it after. They really make marines. The honor courage and commitment stays with us forever. War is hell and after Idk why we was even there in either country, we lost so many great ladies and gents, and they didn't really prepare us for after its over. That's what I wish would change. You don't get it until you see marines with TBI, missing limbs, and burns. So if you see or know a vet tell them thanks. You have no idea what hell they've been through and what scars you can't see easily. That's the only reason for no draft is brave ppl give up 4 years at least so others don't have to. After seeing how Brandon withdrew really makes me angry. Seems like such a waste of fucking time, money, and mostly life. These gents was really something amazing. Never know what true love and brotherhood is unless you go down this path. Thank you all. Semper Fi.

11-15 let me tell you right now, I understand that maybe you couldve done better but the whole point of bootcamp was to break you so understandably so. You did just enough, if not more than what was required :) i promise bro!

Man I don't think I've agreed with a comment more than this one...so true.

The Corps gave us a lot but there were people ahead of us that decided not to allow us the opportunities to give more. At least that's what happened for me because "Fuck you, Lance Corporal," and then "Fuck you, Corporal." I couldn't give the Marine Corps more but I turned it around and gave my Marines everything I could. That's the one thing in life I will never regret; suffering for my Marines so they had easier lives at work and less stress at home.

thank you for your service

:) OOH RAH!

Rah! The few the proud

I used to ask that when I'd come across those cats. Once you peeled back some of the bs it usually revolved around wanted in on the combat arms side of whatever service. Stuff like this and fish stories about their experience was this for a few months then soi\mct was f that. And some it intimidated. So went the army route. They wanted this, just toned down a bit. Outside rangers and airborne mm it was a whole lot more toned down than they thought. And they were a little disappointed. It's not bagging on anyone they're just different animals. A little thing I picke d up on was when youd ask new people the first response was usually military then drag the branch out of them and what they did. You know the response from any Marine, and boot camp especially, you get a quick sense of the way it impacted their lives. Navy, air force, some army basics arent (for various reasons which revolve around each branches role and mission) anything like this experience. And for good reason. What good does it do to destroy an AF airman like this, hand to hand, weeks of weapons work....etc. Time we'll better spent in the tons of mos technical schooling that's needed for most of the work they do.

Bruh.. they’re wearing fking sneakers. This ain’t the corps anymore. It’s the transgender sneaker corps. Nothing to brag about anymore.

The corps is long gone and over with... It’s become the sneaker wearing transgender corps with a hurt feelings card you can pull out if your DI is mean to you.

Go for it and have no regrets! OOH RAH!

Give it your 100 percent.. bootcamp is only once. the experience and memories will be for a lifetime.

25 is the age cutoff

@@joshuacripe1514 negative. 27 for non active, 28 for active. More with age waivers.

Good luck. Go with the attitude that there are two ways out. One, as a Marine, or two, in a box.

OOH RAH!

Well said!

OOH RAH!

Flashback: that's why I joined the air force!

Semper fi

No its not😂😂😂😂, dont tell them that lie. Taking trips around the world is the best part about the military

Yeah if you want a combat deployment you have a better chance of getting one in the National Guard these days lol

@@SB-lw5xt they're smart the way they say traveling around the world. If your idea of travel is going to some of the shittiest places around the planet, and filled up with people that are just as shitty. Well then, you'll have a blast.

I had fun in the Marine Corps. Boot Camp actually had its funny moments its just too bad that you couldn't laugh at most of the stuff. Probably the best four years of my life.

@@SB-lw5xt I was stuck in Lejeune for four years and never got to see anything other than my tolerance for alcohol get higher.

21 years this month for me at 25 and half years on PI

We’re close ..I arrived sep 98

Did you got deployed to Vietnam? Brother

@@billwong7420 Vietnam was over by then. 1973.

Semper Fi! And Congratulations. All the best for your military career.

Safe from what exactly? Other countries keeping their oil? 😂 USA is a pathetic excuse of a country.

The Corps is not going to come to your rescue , it is up to us Marines to instill that discipline into our family and protect one another Semper ,- Fi when I see a fellow Marine in distress , I help as much as I am able , Lord help the asshole trying to hurt a fellow Marine , Semper - Fi !

It’s called Stockholm syndrome. Lol

OOH RAH!

Did they hit him or is it them kicking stuff around

@@bishop12ist likely the DI screaming and throwing / kicking things. They can't REALLY kill you with their bare hands, as much as it seems like they're willing to sometimes.

@@ChasishOnKZfaq lmao. Yeah they wanna kill but I guess they can't.

@@bishop12ist definitely just punching their bags and kicking stuff. Its not ridiculous like that although it is the Marine Corps and that's America's best.

@@918kickinwing I just need to hear it: the DI's they really don't hate each and every recruit on DAY 1 to DAY 77 do they??

There is a court ordered boot camp for juvenile delinquents and such.

i'm old enough to remember that the judge would give the "option " my uncle was one of those people who chose the army drunk driving & killed an innocent prison or service to your country
