“Private Pyle, whatever you do, don’t fall down! That would break my fucking heart!!”

This video makes my hands sweaty.The only thing that is keeping me from going is the height obstacles. Terrified of heights.

Squat thrusts until the sun goes down, ready, begin. The DI leaves for an hour.

I'm not gonna lie: Yes I was one of those recruits that fell into the water during the slide for life, lol! 1994 MCRD San Diego, Platoon 1010, Bravo Company. SDI Sgt. Newton along with DI's Sgt. Rojas, Sgt. Jacobson and Sgt. Salinas

Wow. I went thru that in 1981. 3rd bn. Mike co. Plt 3072. Not alot has changed. Used to be water underneath the slide for life. I was afraid of heights but the slide for life, the stairway to heaven, and A frame helped me overcome it. Thats why they call it the confidence course. I felt like I could do anything afterwards.

I was in Boot Camp in 07/1996 and the things I remember most about the Confidence Course are the Slide For Life and the "A" Frame, which I didn't see here. I miss being part of the USMC!

Crazy how time flies by. I remember going through all that back in 2001. 3rd Btln. India Co. Plt 3096. Semper Fi.

At first i thought you fall from that zip line well you tried now see you in the hospital 😂😂

Aw man I can't wait. I leave in december.

Crazy I was on the Depot when this was filmed, having my family day.

That and rifle range was the most fun of basic training. Parris Island Feb 77, OOH RAH!

Motivation, make me remember with fondness and glad to have graduated from there..

I almost made it into the marines. I have a pitch loss in my right ear and they disqualified me. Real bummer, wanted to be in the military since i was very little.

Missed out on 2/3 of the times my company went to the confidence course, so honestly this is my first time seeing most of this. I don't recall how I missed the first time around, since I never went to sick call, the second time, I was unfortunate enough, along with one other recruit to need to get my boots resoled, so I was stuck wearing my dress boots, so I was left behind on fire watch.

This gave me a very hard feeling in more ways than one. I wanted to join when I was a teenager and P.T.S.D which recently turned chronic ended that. Very hard to live with. I know I couldn't have done it, but I just wanted to be with the Marines or Army and do something for my country. Support our servicemen DO NOT support the wrong way these wars are waged. Fighting clean against a dirty enemy is never gonna work. I believe strongly if war is fought give our enemies Hell! FUCKING TOTAL HELL! I will never forgive Ossama Bin Laden for what he did to us. I didn't want the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and never will change my mind. Look at all the great people who have died. Not just us, but innocent Afghan and Iraqis who aren't part of the Taliban. Blame a lot of stupid politicians drinking cocktails and saying it's heroic to step on an IED and die that way. Horrible. Get out and show your support for the Armed Forces. They are far better than most of us.

I graduated last year...But, I signed up for the Marine Corps this year...Can't wait to be there....Probably this summer, my boot camp date will be set...

I miss this this 1 of the greatest times of my life

Paris Island was so desolate and gloomy compared to Sand Diego.

They make these obstacle courses look so easy but I quickly learned otherwise. I went through an obstacle course with my Rss the other day and it fucking destroyed me, I didn't even make it through the whole thing. This shit is not easy, I can only imagine what bootcamp will be like.

Leaving in January 17th 2017 to MCRD SD. Can't wait, rah!!!

Our confidence course are similar to the Marines when I went to basics back in 2003 at Fort Benning.

Platoon 1050 Bravo Company PI 1986. Best time of our young lives. Semper Fi!

Semper Fi MCRD 1980 and proud of it

Oh damn. Brings back memories. Drill Instructors were a lot more hands on (your throat) in 04 but yea I forgot all about this, was end of Phase 1.

Went through boot camp July to September 1969. The obstacle course was being rebuilt so we ran and ran and ran some more. Drill on the parade deck for hours.

Shipping out in June, Paris Island ! Can't wait

I can't wait to go

GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY ALL FAMILIES, but special prayer requst goes out to the MARINES, as a mother of two Marines, I gotta ask. greetinGs from California home of MCRD SAN DIEGO,

I just looked at an Airforce obstacle course video. HOLY shit. Theirs is NOTHING compared to this.

memories I sure do miss the the fun times / camaraderie!

5 more months n i ship. i cant wait. im ready for this.

February 2nd I ship, can't wait!

Shipping out in September, Paris Island. Lord willing. Oorah! good PT

At 3:10..that has to be the sweetest, "in place double time, aye-aye sir, oorah Marine Corps. " I have ever heard. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 WTF

Thank you.

Cant wait to join the Marines !!! OORAH SEMPERFI USA USA USA

This looks fun! :D

Thanks!

Nice video :D From UK

4:27 I froze. I did everything else in boot camp. I completed every other aspect of this obstacle course. I climbed up and I froze. I couldn't take a step. I knew I would walk off the side. It was like I was being pulled that way. The DI-trainer at the top didn't push the point. He told me to climb back down. I guess he felt it too. You know how you've heard when it's your time it's your time. Maybe that day, in 1984, would have been my last and God just intervened. I expected to get thrashed really bad but nothing happened. That was a phase of boot camp where you were thrashed for everything anyway, though, so I'm sure they got even.

I see my platoon out there! Alpha Company plt 1003

RESPECT. LOVE. RESPECT S. DIEGO BUT EVEN MORE PARRIS.

Looking at this made me feel my muscle fatigue again..

Scared shitless for this

Best of luck poolee!

suprised at the recruit doing the excersize backwards at :42 and no Drill Instructor ripping him for it.

I remember doing the confidence course in bootcamp... Just some of it there anyways.

This is a butt kicking confidence course!!!

Have in the summer sun, Paris Island in july is where it's at...My dad has told me about it...in 2 years I'll be there.

Them press ups are actually shocking

My name is Thomas Molloy,from Newyork. If your going to paris island hopefully i see you there!

I can swim but i hate heights. My hands get tingley and sweaty. I would freeze up.

I love that I watched this and saw my old kill hat still fucking up recruits

make or break !!!!! love my marines !!!!!!!!! thank you !!!!!!!!!

i ship out june 23rd for PI i cant wait.

I want to join the marines I will take on any challenge they will give me.

I leave March 18 for San Diego!!!!

I cant wait for my time

Lol wonder in marine drill instructor school they rip their voice boxes out and put some robot voice in for them lol. I try do it and hurts my throat lol

Well this is where I might be after high school.

Check out our marine obstacle course video!

No nets on the slide for life in 86...was surprised to see that

Heroes don't wear capes, they wear dog tags

strong trainning

@Tommy The avenger You are not required to do Push-ups. Go search up USMCPFT and it's 50crunches in 2 minutes, 3+ Pull-ups(Not timed) 28:00min. In 3 miles.

Good times.

Ahh the memories the good old days of Plt 3031 class of 95 and being chased by a DI up a rope.

They need bigger courses like this in the Fleet....

4 more years till I am able to go to boot camp I can't wait

same here my date was end of may beginning of june see you there.

87 plt 2078 hotel co. I don't miss any part of boot camp.

Welcome..

Im the future marine

I had to do this with a fever and an upper respiratory infection the first time because I was too scared to tell my DIs I was sick as right before I told them someone else said they needed to go to sickbay because they were coughing up blood. The drill instructors screamed at him that he was a bitch and coughs up just a little bit of blood and he wants to go to sickbay. Then they thought I was being dramatic when I was stumbling when running in place so I had to run around the obstacles instead while waiting my turn. Still made it through everything though except I fell on the slide of life. So I got ITd when I got back for falling off that. Probably lost some braincells that day honestly. The next day I went to sickbay and had a 104 fever. Still don't regret it though. It kinda gives me extra pride that I made it through it with more adversity than is even expected

Semper Fi...

Feet First Into Hell

Are they not secured by zip lines? They could die if they slipped and fell.

I ship out on june 10th!!

3:28 is that popeye i hear?

I honestly don’t remember going thru the confidence course. We went thru the o course and e course but I don’t recall this. It’s honestly all a blur.

I was a gymnast who jumped off the roof and onto a trampoline. But THIS... "Mommaaaaa!!!??" 🤣

I believe there is ways around joining. Im irish as well but am a US citizen so i plan on movin back and joinng in the next few months

I'd be terrified 😨

good luck! (:

Actually the Navy is the one that mainly helps out the Marines. The Air Force mainly helps the Army.

the last course on the video, we had a recruit that got scared and started crying lol

This looks easy

if you want to join the Military join the branch that is right for you... I do believe the Marine Corps is the best branch, but it does have its downfalls. DO NOT let people make you think your less of a human being or less desciplined because you aren't a Marine. I have met many very squared away Soldiers and Airmen who are more squared away then some Marines I know. Join the branch you truly want, and never compromise on the job field you want! and yes, I am a Marine

Adam This top is absolutely gorgeous in

In 2020 I think back to my Marine corps days and hate civilian life

eh it wasnt as bad as some might think, it was strenuous in a way, but the only part that made it difficult was the barrage of drill instructors, aside from that, the course was enjoyable and challenging in the right mind set, as i always tried to compete against whoever was next to me to be the first to finish.

Where the hell is "RUN, JUMP, and SWING?"

WHAT IV'E LIVED IN SAN DIEGO ALL MY LIFE AND I NEVER SEEN THAT?

Fuck yes!!!

to instill the sense of urgency. the instructors yell at the trainees to strike fear. soldiers, marines, sailors, and airmen CANNOT afford to make a small mistake in the battlefield, therefore must be taught attention to detail and military bearing (maintaining professionalism). for the yelling WHILE they're doing the activities (drills and obstacle courses and such), the battlefield is going to be noisy, therefore its simulation to train to block out any distractions to finish the mission.

4:00 dammmmn Obama went through training?

Lol that shit was hell, day in day out.

Love my Marine Corps 🇺🇸 Even these Hollywood Marines👍😂 Semper Fi (85-93) PI

Good luck

"In place double time, aye aye sir, oorah marine corps *clap clap* KILO!" Just saying that brings back memories of boot camp -__-
