What a bunch of idiots… No, Captains and NCOs, your NAMES do NOT include your military ranks. The statement, “My name is Staff Sergeant Jughead”, is WRONG. Your name is NOT “Staff Sergeant.” Figure it out, My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment.
I see these videos where the DIs tell the recruits that abuse will not be tolerated, but I hear stories from Marine vets about recruits being struck. Are these guys full of crap, or does abuse happen? I was Army enlisted and can say I never saw a drill sergeant strike a recruit, but I don't know if everyone had my experience either.
I remember our 1st day in our platoon, we had a really small guy with glasses that literally shit his pants cuz he raised his hand during SDI speech!!!! That kid probably asked God to take him away right then lol!!! Cant remember his name cuz within the 1st week, he was gone, never seen him again!!!! Semper Fi!!!
I served including combat. The USMC means a lot to me. So it's with seriousness that I say I'm sad how boot camp has become pre-programmed and scripted. Organization is good. But putting words in the DIs' mouths. That is not.
Wonder why the DIs' first sergeant was present. Listening to an earlier video of SSgt Nichols speaking with recruits, suspect he's held an intelligence/cryptologic MOS and was a DI as a career-broadening assignment. Seems like a highly intelligent person. Many years ago one of my guys in Korea was a former AF military training instructor (DI).
I joined the Marine Corp in 1986. The one thing the Corp gave me that I was lacking in, the so called "Fire in the Belly" and I mean that in every positive way. I was already tough and strong before I joined. But the fire in the belly was the missing element.
This vid is six years old, anyone who has gone through this shit recently know how they deal with trans recruits? I can't believe it has come to this but it has, any feedback?
What's with the tennis shoes? Boots...we wore boots at all times except when doing PT in PT Shorts, shirt and maybe sweat shirt and sweat pants. We never never wore pt shoes with camy fatigues
I went through Parris Island in 1988 platoon 1020 starting December 13 1988. To this day I still remember Boot Camp. I am now 53 years old. I would love to be able to go back to do it again. My time in the Marine Corps is extremely valuable to me. I couldn't imagine being anything other than a Marine. Semperfi brothers. My son is now a Corpsman at Parris Island.
The Corps has gotten pretty soft. Offering drinks of water only minutes into meeting the Drill Instructors. Tsk, tsk, tsk. What's next? (I'm just kidding. Semper Fi, Marines. Things were different in 1982)
Semper Fi I enjoyed watching and reminiscing about my time at PI in1980. I just can’t believe how the Corps has changed though. Filming recruits at boot camp and what goes on inside the barracks here. This was sacred and only Marines experienced this.

It all looks scripted. DIs not running around getting crazy!!! Why is tje Senior out there when it should be the J ????? I guess someone wants attention and Fame.
The J after that iteration will then come out and then the hell will break loose and the hats will start sprinting like no tomorrow they build up the chaos gradually
Been there done that Marine boot camp the longest and toughest boot camp in the military and I don't regret it to my fellow Marines Semper Fi!!!!
Always listen to the senior drill sergeant
these guys show why other military forces around the world are afraid to engage with marines. They are simply the most kick ass branch America offers.
I went to Kuwait with captain Martinez in 2015
Snap your ass to attention.
I was actually in this group, third column from the right, third guy back. However, I went AWOL around week three, and they still haven't found me 😎
37 years ago.....good Lord.....
Do DI's still act like this? No way, they would have to bring in therapy dogs, and get them to a DEI counselor right way! Right?
Gotta be honest- id go back in time and do it again- try to make Guide and get a perfect rifle range score...

Who needs ED meds when you have this! Semper Fi!!!!!

I went through this in 1994, and discovered that there are a lot of dumbasses who can’t follow instructions lol
WHAT HAPPENED TO “SIT UP STRAIGHT AND LOOK AT ME”?
Mike Company 3068 1995 here
Motivating as shit !
love how he stands at attention before he barks out the go command. that is one squared away, professional marine. outstanding.

I thought this video related to SSgt Nichols, Michael?
Damn … my humble beginnings 🇺🇸
ONE THING NOBODY EVER REGRETS IS MEETING A USMC DI. SEMPER FI MAC
2:24 Their style is absolutely unmatched. True badasses.
thinking you're going to go somewhere and no, just sit down. i'm almost 32, wish i joined the military, may still.
I was without discipline or motivation until I met my drill instructors, that all changed. I loved basic, absolutely loved it !
I retired in 2007. This brings back many memories. Semper Fi USMC(RET)
Yelling so loud I can't hear a word they're saying. I suppose that's the intention.

How things change. It was a lot more chaos than this when I went thru. Our Company CO and Series CO just let em do it.
Bunch of mindless idiots thinking that signing up to become cannon fodder is somehow glorious.....then having to deal with these screaming morons.

I always giggle at the "treat you with ... compassion" line 😂
I was on the toilet taking a deuce when I was watching this , and my turd crawled back inside of me when he heard the drill instructors screaming
3:07 this is the moment where I'd start shitting my pants. The intensity of their voices, holy shit
I've been struggling with alcool for many years, and watching SSGT Nichols give speeches helps me focus on what I need to do.

Compare this nonsense with 'Commando on the front line', episode 1. The Royal Marines. Exceptionally the best
I have no respect for any abusive behavior and it happens
13 weeks without a day off, Semper Fi!
All I hear is Mark Wahlberg as a DI!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Parris island ( squad bay ) a place this MARINE will never ever 4get ……Semper Fi
What's with the tennis shoes? Boots...we wore boots at all times except when doing PT in PT Shorts, shirt and maybe sweat shirt and sweat pants. We never never wore pt shoes with camy fatigues
the boots aren't worn until second phase
Seems like yesterday!!! 87-92 Semper Fi 🇺🇸
