Respect from the UK 🇬🇧

great movie...."muk shmuck"...so you DON'T speak it"!....I was a U.S. Marine Corps dependent from 1951-1963 and on active duty/Reserves from 1970-1993!!....proud to serve, but things were more "fulfilling" as an enlisted man rather than commissioned "mustang" due to roadblocks AKA biases firmly established in the USAF Medical Service Corps.....

Now its just beauty muscled soy boys that need there digital diaper changed. And a non bho rubber nipple with organic similac shoved down there pampered gullet

On everything I was that kid in the video

I joined The Navy, as I wanted to "sail the seas", and I did, in VF-1, aboard The Enterprise, '74-'78

Webb a great legendary Actor respected and admired by Military and Police Department!

Webb a great DI

What a bunch of nonsense. My elder brother and my friend didn't have time for it, they joined the Army, and proceeded to kill Victor Charley in great number without all that.

I remember one night; my wife had left me. In the Livingroom I had a 19" color TV, in the bedroom I had a 19" TV, I went to bed and turned it on and watched the DI. In those days, all the UHF channels played old movies and some sports. Shit surely went downhill from there!

What movie is this

great movie....

My nephew joined the Marines, RIP Billy.

What movie is this?

SEMPER FI! HOOOYHAAA!

Semper Fi USMC 1967-1975

Required viewing at the USO in Jacksonville, NC along with Sands of Iwo Jima!

Of all the things I’ve ever watched on KZfaq. This is the dumbest fucking video.

What an amazing nurse! She has made so many wonderful contributions to EMS. We are so proud of you Leigh Overton! As a side note, Dave Gora did an incredible job capturing this milestone and presented it so well! 😊

Cannon fodder.

“Not for you, never for you!” “Ok, then I refuse to train. I have no desire to be a marine. I will not train and I will ignore every order from Sargent Moore.” “You can’t do that!” “Shut up. I quit. Throw me in jail or kick me out but I’m not training. And I’m going to have a long chat with my mother. You actually let a recruit’s mommy tell you what to do? Not only that, but she’s a civilian who has no authority here and you let her in and took her orders?” “Fine, I’ll sign it.”

My favorite ... drill instructor?

Best summer of my life was at Parris Island June thru September 1985 . Platoon 3065 H company

I watched this movie the night before I left for Parris Island.

I know a fact about Guadalcanal and the landings, that makes Marines, after a long labourious process of proving it to them, astonished. :)

Owens an ass

Owen a F..UP

I was stationed at Camp Pendelton in 1957 when this movie was filmed. One day a guy in our outfit came into the barracks and said "Hey they're filming a movie here". I went outside and I could see from a distance of 2-3 blocks away a scene of marines marching, but I doubt if Jack Webb was there. I didn't even know the name of the movie at that time, but later on I saw it in the theater when it was released. The "Boot Camp" scenes were quite realistic except there was no "gross profanity or hitting the recruits" like REALBOOT CAMP at that time.

How come you always here about Tripoli and then nothing from the Marines until WW1? Did they take the Civil War off?

Mom never talked to me like that

Q. Why did the Army get the Mules -- and the Navy got the Marines ...? A. Army got first choice. Hoo-ah. D.A.

If you want to see Jack in action as a Marine, watch "Halls of Montezuma" with Widmark.

HOO-RAH!

29 January will be my 50th anniversary of graduation Plt. 2001 Sgt Beckner assigned Pvt Anniballi to keep me on the pull up bar forever but I passed the PFT with 7 pull ups and still around today almost 70yrs old. I was very unspactactular but learned stick to it ness big part of my life

How come everyone is tall?

Pure Hollywood propaganda piece, but still great movie. Jack Webb was superb!

"Just the FACTS, Ma'am!"

i will always remember my Jr hats words to PLT 3089 after we have received our Eagle globe and Anchor " You are all still full of shit !"

I love this movie and R.Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket. Who'se the tougher DI?

"Semper-Fi"

OMG, I had goosebumps when I saw this. It reminded me of my days in bootcamp where I was the guide-on. Hold that flag straight, high, without bouncing. We were more than impressive as we went down the avenue. Other recruits could only admire us as we passed in revue. We had made it and the world could not prepare for us, those who were transformed in a time when men were men, sheep were scared, and all the cattle were nervous.

Hey Sargeant, where do I go to ship over for another 6 years? Oh wait, what the hell am I saying?!

I can still remember my days at MCRD as if it were yesterday😢

Jack Webb played a great example of a DI! Terrific movie!

My Dad said he watched this late one night before shipping off to Army boot camp in '66-as he said "to get my mind into it".

I once met a drill instructor after we all left basic training. We all gathered around him and asked him......did they actually plant laundry tags in our foot locker. He confessed...."Yes we did." Why Sargent? "Because we wanted to instill in you to check and re-check and to triple check your work."

"Did you give that sand flee a proper burial?" YES SIR ! "Did you bury him face up or face down?" Uhhhh.....I don't know sir. "Well dig him up and find out !"

Glorification of war

When Jack Webb died, the LAPD gave him full funeral honors....

Was drafted in '69. Sent to Vietnam and served with the 101st. At the collection depot they asked who wanted to be a Marine. I about dove under the table because I had been watching the news and saw what was happening at Khe Sahn. Our men were like in a bowl with the NVA firing in on them. Anyway, made it through 'Nam and hope we have a lot of good men left to resist what the left is trying to do to our country.

Thank you for your kind words. Such an articulate and thoughtful letter. Semper Fi.
