The Drill instructor pledge still sends chills down my spine. I remember Black Friday fondly..

Ssgt Bryner was my Senior Drill Instructor for Fox Company. He's the reason why I'm a better man now. Those kids are definitely under some excellent leadership. Those trained by him will become great Marines.

They need to show what happens after the SDI finishes his speech... the damn tornado that comes and throws everyone’s shit everywhere! You little recruits will be wearing two left foot go fasters for a week until you have the balls to to go find the other recruit that is wearing two rights!! 😂

I'm Army and this shit just got me motivated Respect to all the Military hoah

other than the days my daughters were born proudest moment of my life is when I walked across the grinder 1975 at Parris Island and was called a marine for the first time

Brings back so many memories. In December it will be 29 years since I EARNED the title United States Marine. 1989-1995.

Just graduated from bootcamp last Sunday. Bootcamp was pretty fun, so good luck to any who’s joining 👍

I respect every branch. I respect anyone going into this hell. I respect anybody that’s gone through BCT.

Leaving September 24 this Sunday it's like I'm going to my own funeral lol

You will never forget that greeting. NEVER!! Semper Fi!!

Just came back from Paris island and I can say all the pain is worth it.

I still remember all of my DI's cadences, over twenty five years later, marching around on the grinder. With the jets taking off and landing, across the fence.

Wow….miss those days...!!! Kicked butt before breakfast, every day and all day...!!!

I remember the first night they let us sleep, woke up looking for my phone and thinking the days prior were just a crazy dream. Snapped out of it and realized it wasn’t. Worst feeling ever. Wouldn’t do it again but im grateful i did.

Leaving in 2019, can’t wait 👊🏼

Parris Island S.C. 1976 , SEPMER FI !

Gotta love those DI's. Forever boot camp schedule for them over & over & over again. Awake half the night, up by 3-4am everyday & then the PT. What a grind they put themselves through

Thank you for your service! Blessings to you all!

Marines don't steal? I was taught that it was my sacred duty as a Marine to steal every piece of military equipment that I could from the Doggies and the squids.

Why is she not yelling lol 😂 she's just speaking loudly she needs to sound off more...

Just retired last week , 3/8 fought in iraq and afghanistan im proud!! To those willing to fight for our country go for it!! Were here to support yall Oohrah!! Semper Fi brothers!!!!

I leave Monday 💪🏽

I literally cried at the end and have a massive grin going across my face

Greatest military in the world and it makes my pround of my country GOD bless this country and HE has amen

Recruit- "Hmm....Doesn't look to bad." Recruiter-*cut the tape before shi gets real.* "Yeah so let me just show you where to sign."

Thank you all female drill instructors for your remarkable service but I find the male DI's more intimidating, notwithstanding, when I was in the Navy I had a female Lieutenant of our unit give a shredding dressing down to a chief who questioned her authority. She tore him apart right in front of my fellow NCO's. She was a great CO of our unit. She did not take any crap from anyone!

I actually sat up straight when he said sit up straight

Best of the BEST hands down marine corps drill instructors.most fit most motivated and by far the sharpest of all the armed forces .

1:44 Holy fuck, SSgt Song was my MAI in C Co. Nov 2016. He's now in the same unit as me. I have nothing but mad respect for the guy, and i think he's motivating as fuck. He knows when to chew your ass. I can't speak to much about him, even though we're in the same unit, he's in a different section.

Nobody does it like SSgt. Jason May.

Firmness, fairness, dignity and compassion 😂😂😂 I didn’t experience that in boot camp til maybe family day 🤣

Is that you John Wayne? Is it me?

Serve from 1995 to 1999, 2/7 and 3/7 marines @ 29 Palms, CA , as a Field Radio Operator, Sempi Fi!!!!!

I'm enlisting next year and I can't wait. I'm dying from the wait.

If only I could relive my young years...

1:02 when my teacher caught me sleeping in class

Yep I remember when my senior drill instructor gave his speech

The last senior drill instructor at the end at 7:40 looks like my SDI SSgt Balbina. He is a legend. If he is still in the drill field, I would definitely love to work with him as a drill instructor!

For those that are thinking about joining: 1. Have an education at least HS diploma. 2. No serious offenses in nature. Some can be wavered. 3. No outstanding tickets. 4. No open courts pending 5. Height to weight ratio. 6. Can do a few dead hang pull-ups 7. Can do 60 sit-ups 8. Can run a 1.5 miles in 14 mins 9. Hopefully 18 years old but will get parents consent if 17. The oldest I know joined was 32 years old. 10. Pass medical at MEPS 11. No crazy medical conditions that will disqualify you... some things can be wavered with medical documents. 12. Can pass Urinalysis test. 13. And hope that you are not a constant smoker of weed. 14 if you have college credit may get E-2 (PFC) after graduation. If you cannot join the Marines then try the Army not joking some of the people I could not join the DEP, joined the Army.

I just graduated from 2nd rtbn golf company plt 2077... I wish them luck

Just graduated boot camp. DIRTY DELTA!

Leaving October 28 San Diego !

Aww yes this is the calm before the storm

CONFUSED Policy says upper arm tattoos are aloud but must be 2 inches above the elbow. But if it hangs below 2 inches right at the top of the elbow and you can still cover it with your hand its aloud So basically what I'm tryna ask is, your aloud to join the marines with a half sleeve that goes from top of the elbow to shoulder that extends below 2 inches but as long as you can cover it, its aloud.

(*sighs*) the good ol days god bless you ssgnt torin

Oh my god. Drill instructor SSGT Mcgoldrick. Was My senior drill instructor.

So much respect for marines . Tough as fucking nails

Sgt song was my knowledge hat in bootcamp. He was a terrifying man. PLT 1048 CHARLIE COMPANY 2015. Ssgt Song if you're reading this "STEWARRRTTTT"

Ooh Rah Devil Dogs!!! Semper Fi!!!

I still remember this day

Looks like the introduction to WWE Smackdown or something. I suppose it works though

Can't wait to become a Marine, still waiting to ship out for boot camp!!

Lol that shit storm after that speech is hard.

Memories will always be in me1976 to 1997 20 years

Oct 15th MCRD San Diego... Can't wait!

Trying to leave latest by January 8th had to go to a different school to get my diploma at 16 now just waiting for my birthday on December 2nd and go to meps that same week and be in the poolee program for the 30 days and leave. I was my families first high school graduate and honestly first one to get anything done for my life. Pretty excited to be a Marine. It’s what I’ve wanted since I was a kid.

SSgt Bryner was my knowledge hat. I still don’t think he’s human.

There are people who already have in their family education what the instructor says, respect, not telling lies, respect for what one is and above all respect for the uniform that you bring, respect for your nation and never betray the trust of those who give it to you .... values ​​that every person in the world should have ... but for some, unfortunately, you have to teach them. The important thing is never and never to betray the trust of your partner and commander in battle, you start together, live together and die together ... is you don't leave anyone behind.I'm not a Marines and I'm not American, I'm Italian and I find it normal that the instructor says even without shouting ..

1:40 look at this dude, wohooohoh, oh no, oh no no no no. Lmao

I appreciate these men (and women) for dedicating their lives to training this nation's warriors. Any one of them (including, probably, the female DIs) could probably beat my ass - I'm not a particularly strong guy, and I'm pretty old by now (55). Physical toughness demands physical training. However, you are training these recruits to kill people (if necessary). And that's quite another thing altogether. Killing a man is far more a matter of willingness to kill than of physical strength. So, when you try to extend physical toughness and physical demands into verbal training, you can't make that connection. The willingness to kill is not a matter of yelling, and strutting, and chest pounding. It's far more mundane. It begins first with just the willingness to decide to kill. It usually ends with the smallest of movements. And that's usually a small, quiet voice - internalized more than externalized. It sounds less like "KILL!!!", and more like, "Look. It's nothing personal. I just want this fucker dead." Training someone to take another's life is much more of a sterile, heartless, thoughtless thing to the point that it is almost trivial. Former military vet. Cold War era.

8:25/// Motivation Level: 💯 🇺🇸✊

Ssgt song was my di when he was a Sgt in 2015 scariest person I’ve ever met. It’s actually chilling to see him in this video.

The intensity between the females and males is non comparable

When a ssgt now has a smaller stack than a lance 8 yrs ago...

I graduated Charlie company right before fox company picked up a week ago

Drill instructor may was fierce asf

Leaving early 2019, Best decision of my life. Semper Fi Motherfuckers

October 29th, so close I can’t wait

I miss my drill instructors. SDI Ssgt. Phillips DI Sgt. Wright DI Sgt. Elyea. Delta Company , Plt 1006 Oct 91- Jan 3 92 Semper Fi

Hate to be sitting at the front

Good luck to all that are going to tango with these beast

Id shed i tear if i hear this spoken to me, idk if for joy or fear.

Semper FI!!

won't forget that day, scared stiff, knew hell was coming in a hurry.

At 1:35 how he has his hat on he reminds me of my drill sergeant back in basic.

The female drill instructor just talk to them wheres the yelling id be real intimidated lol

Good to see them tone it down for the women so they don't hurt their feelings 😒 SMDH

Parris Island 1st battalion c company drill instructors..😄😄😄...I dont miss boot camp

That was my platoon 1:36. Charlie company PLT 1004. It’s not all fox company. These are a couple years old

This is when it all starts

Back in early 80’s. Our drill instructors would have us steal from other platoons... I was s-4. Stole fruit for my DI when he would let me know. Out in fleet. We had to steal the Marine corps had no money. Life was good. No haze? Blanket party. Bummer. Haha Plt 2023 6 may 83

It funny cuz that SSgt was my Knowledge Hat

Motivating

Question: we saw a number of DIs order their recruits to "Sit up straight and look at me." But in only one clip did the recruits reply "Aye, aye, sir!" I thought this reply was appropriate because a superior is giving an order. So why didn't the recruits in the other clips respond in this way?

I got all the way to the physical and because of asthma, couldn't serve. I tried twice too!

Yes ma'am Strap on Yes ma'am I love it

Very powerful..

1:02 My teacher on Monday morning

Good times

Only 70 days training,when I joined the British Army I had 22 weeks training

Fuck... I so wish I could have been in the military. I had a terrible recruitment officer that set me up to fail. I've talked to multiple people in the military from multiple branches and most of them said that whenever you're going in and doing all the testing right before bootcamp to always say no to certain things like, previous history of health. Mine was lower back pain from football that I could have easily gotten away if I lost more weight. I had a buddy go in with two torn ACLs and got accepted.

Thanks for the credit lol

I’m kind of salty that at the beginning is my drill hat and now he’s a senior SSgt Bryner and they only show the beginning.

Latrines & shower on right, DI office on left.

I want to re-enlist right now.

Leaving Sunday. September 24th. MCRD San Diego.

Something tells me DIs May and Song got made fun of for their names in their early years, but now would smoke the shit out of someone.

Random question are Paris Island and Camp Pendleton exactly same buildings, dimensions, rooms, etc?

Look at all those heads grow inches! 😎

SEMPER FI CARRY ON MARINES.
