Rare intense DI footage at MCRD PI - ua-cam.com/video/ivbYs3F9zU4/v-deo.html. Don't forget to check the bloopers at the end of the video...I could not figure out a few lines.
We had the funniest women Company Commanders (DI's) in the Coast Guard. When their duty came around, it seemed they could think twice as fast as their male counterparts so you had to up your game. Two Commanders, a man and a woman, were in competition to go at each other and they used recruits as weapons. It was funny as hell. Women DI's are no joke. This was back in '86.
During the 10th week of basic training, the drill sargent approached my cubicle and asked me (in a crazy way), " who dressed you this morning, your grandmother!!!"... to which I replied "No Sargent,my grandmother died last week!"...he was so disarmed that he apologized profusely, and then moved on to the next cubicle. My bunk mate chuckled and was given 50 push ups on the spot. Lol
When I went through basic training, never ever found any situation funny while being dealt with from a Drill Sargent(s), but after completing basic training, and AIT, the first time I went home on leave, my whole composition of being had been changed from what I was prior. They had reprogrammed my way of thinking, and behavior so extensive that my own family couldn't believe the change, it was like to them that I was a completely different person, but at the end of the day, I'm thankful for those who changed my demeanor, because it has served me very well thus far throughout my life.
They call it training. In reality its behavior modification through hazing, fear, trauma and humiliation. In the end most are so traumatized they thank their abusers.
Really? Nothing was funny in BCT? Then you had some boring Drill Sgts, cause they had some of the funniest insults and punishments. Having a female drill sgt saying the pvt could suck dick better than she could. Fucking hilarious.
@@spb8039they are turning momma’s little Johnny into someone capable of handling the stress and confusion and fear of fighting for your and your buddies’ lives in combat. To do that there has to be pain, suffering, and all the rest. Otherwise when the SHTF they will freeze and die.
Fun fact: that Navy Chief was a blue rope in my division (RDC in training), he made Chief while we were there. Absolute badass, and had some great mentorship for us concerning leadership and resilience. He needs his own video.
That Navy Chief is actually a really cool dude. We served on our first ship together way back in the day, and he was always the happy, go-lucky type. He turns it on for new recruits, though. Off duty, he's still a jokester.
Most of them are like that. 20 of us failed the PT at the end of basic and had to stay an extra week to test again. WE had to do little jobs around the base till then, most of the time helping the DI's with the new recruits. To there eyes, we were regular sailors so they were pretty chill.
I'm guessing that he and the first class ragging on the female are both corpsmen, as their breast insignia look to me like the Fleet Marine Force badge.
Also it seems like you're getting more comfortable on camera which is really nice to see because we can really see who you are as an entertainer and not just you as a serious person
@@JamesonsTravels all this makes me that much gladder & happier that i went to Parris "Paradise" Island way back when I did. Rough time for sure yet much better overall to whats been going on there in past 15+ years.....
@@JamesonsTravels you're learning to feel comfortable with the community YOU built/help build. we support you're work and keep going! we love you and your work Sir. Thank you for your service and all those who also have, are serving, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. God Bless you.
We had a trainee at basic call a female Training Instructor sir. She asked him if she looked like a man and he said no sir. He was asked louder if he thought she looked like a man and he said "No lady". He got all kinds of special attention from the TIs over that.

Great video on US Marine basic. When I enlisted in the Canadian Army Oct/79. Ten rules you will need to help enhance this enjoyable experience? 1. Stare into the NCO's eyes they love attitude, gets them off big time 2. Always address an NCO by their first name, yo dog, gee, or playa will do 3. Try to be a few minutes late for roll call, they love rebellious types 3. It's okay to sleep in, they understand. Better yet, ask for a wake-up call 4. Tell the NCOs you know how basic training is, you've seen full metal jacket 5. Tell the NCOs you know about combat, you've played tour of duty on PS4 6. Ask the NCOs if you can have the weekend off? you've made other plans 7. Remember to bring food into the barracks, they understand, guys get hungry 8. Hey, Sgt. Do I really have to make my bed? But my mom usually does that 9. Ask the NCOs how their weekend was, they love it when you get personal 10. NCOs love your feedback, always bitch/complain whining if possible? Don't bother trying to outsmart the NCO'S, they went through this just like you, so every trick you think you know? they've already done it, thought about it, or got caught doing it by their drill instructors, who went through the exact same thing. You will remember this experience for the rest of your life, I can guarantee it. Will you make it through basic? depends upon how badly you want it. Like everything in life, being in the military has a cost. Only in here, the costs are much higher
The first thing I said to my male DI on the first day of Bootcamp was “Aye Ma’am!” I was told to fill up my canteen along with the others, and we had to do it within a minute and they told us to go quicker. And for some reason my mouth said “Ma’am” instead of “sir”. I heard dead silence after calling him ma’am, and I didn’t dare turn around to see his face. Lmfao. I was his favorite target during the length of bootcamp every since that moment.
I've had the privilege of working with Marines but I didn't know a lot about their time in basic training. I've been a DI in the Australian Army and I've always enjoyed some of the "day one, week one" movie scenes. Interesting fact ... Even the toughest, meanest face-ripping DI was once a recruit getting hammered by the old school Instructors. Cheers.
Marines don't go through "basic training." We went through BOOT CAMP. Big difference, while the Army, Navy, and Air Force are learning how to fold their socks Marines are learning to locate, close with, and destroy the enemy...
12:45 I remember my dad, who served in the Army during the Vietnam war, completely destroyed my dresser when the clothes in my drawer weren't folded and placed neatly. Hell, I knew how to make my bed with a hospital fold when I was 10. He was brutally strict at times, but the moment I was on my own, I understood why. I'm sure he's keeping heaven in top shape as we speak.
I'm almost 3/4 of a century old and I still roll my socks like my grandfather taught me. I still manage to pull myself up and stand and salute the flag and shed a tear when I hear "O say can your hear"...
When I was in boot, the senior DI got about 8” from my face, and the ass chewing began. Then 2 more DI’s joined in one on my right ear, and another on the right. When I felt the breath of the 4rth DI on the back of my neck, I lost it. Yea, all Marines know not to laugh in this situation because of what’s coming next. Oddly enough the DI’s got into a little huddle, and started laughing. Another recruit began laughing in formation and the focus changed to him. That poor guy was bent for about 30 minutes on the meat grinder, and later at sundown, he was bent on the mini meat grinder and before rack. I went up and volunteered to join my fellow recruit the first 2 times. The last time before rack, I just went up and joined in. Within a couple minutes, all the recruits joined in front of their racks. At that point, he stopped everyone, complimented us, and said goodnight Marines. We were never referred to as recruits again. This was back in 88 when you weren’t a Marine until graduation, and we still had 3 weeks in 3rd phase. For the other branch members to understand this was a huge thing.
The goal outside of making individually physically fit, mentally tough, and disciplined marines is to make them a team. The corps goes to war for the corps first and the country second. There's no greater brotherhood In the military (not counting small spec ops units) than the marine. corps.
Loved this!I went through Coastie boot camp in 86. I don't quite understand the change in DI covers. Seems a bit of a reach. My DI (company commander) was an Aviation Survivalman Master Chief (rescue swimmer). Those guys were like gods in Coastie world. He's hammer the hell out of us while drinking coffee, and I don't recall him ever yelling, but we all knew he wasn't f-ing around. The one that pissed me off the most was when an RMCM gigged me for a finger print on my belt buckle on a Friday inspection, which meant I was restricted to the base for the weekend. What sucked was that he was the one who put the finger print on it. Turns out, he was one of my dad's buddies from when he was in.
Had a guy that needed to go to medical in the middle of the night and the drill instructor starts screaming at the element leader to accompany the guy there. The element leader says to the TI “Sir, I have to use the bathroom” The TI responds “A bathroom? Is there a f***ing bathtub in there? Are we gonna play some f***ing tickle pickle?” Still makes me laugh 😂
If I called my drill instructor “sir!” he would get in my face and tell me “I work for a living. Don’t call me sir!” and the answer was. “Yes drill sergeant!”
I had a Drill Sergeant who was a Viet Nam vet, two actually, and they were the best. They taught you what you really needed to know, and could do so with humor.
I had the chief that you called chubby as an RDC, and I can confirm that she isn’t, she’s a green side corpsman that’s built like a power lifter and has really broad shoulders and wears a men’s uniform (which is probably why you would think that). I can confirm that she is absolutely terrifying, she would flip tables and go into her office to do shoulder presses with an amo can at an extreme pace to vent. Still, she genuinely cares about her job, so she’s one of the people that I’ve had the most respect for in my life.
The entry process at PI was one of the most stressful times in my life. I had a DI tear me apart because, He told us if we had 2 shirts on to take our top shirt off and I took both shirts off, then put the top shirt back on, instead of just stripping off the top shirt.
Agreed. To be truthful, this whole vid, I was waiting for something funny to happen; didn't see a thing. There CAN be funny stuff happening when you get a bunch of trainees under megastress, especially if you mix that with a drill who's secretly got a sense of humor and sees an opening.
@@lindamacduff2566 And I, in turn, thank YOU. If, in fact, you are a woman (I could call myself Yvonne or something on UA-cam if I wanted to), it's refreshing to read that. And just because I find many women to be physically attractive, that doesn't mean that I view them as sex objects. To be honest, physical attraction is often first in my thoughts when I first see most women. I believe most men are just made that way. But if I have more than a glance at, or a passing few seconds encounter with a woman, I start looking at her other qualities; intelligence, down-to-earth horse sense, self-confidence, sense of humor, general attitude, etc.. I've met many women who were average-looking at best IMO, who had a certain something in their manner that made me want to spend more time with them, and find out what they were about. In contrast, I've met many women I found very attractive physically, but after talking with them for a few minutes, didn't care to continue; at work, casual conversation in a checkout line at a store, at a party, whatever. The most interesting people to me are those I can interact comfortably with on several levels. One of my favorite things is a good conversation with give-and-take; and if we find a place or two or three where we don't always see eye-to-eye, if we can agree to disagree, and we have common ground elsewhere, then that's cool.
@@kellyrobinson1780 yes indeed, I am most definately a woman, and in my day dare I say I was a head-turner. For so many years I was unable to take a sincere complement because I had been conditioned to assume anything out of a man's mouth had an alterior and selfish intention. That's just wrong. Very few men are walkin talkin poets. The old adage goes "Men fall in love through their eyes, women fall in love through their ears". It's a sweet and highly underappreciated gift that God built into them for us, it's what keeps them looking at their beloved wives well into old age. Besides, if you don't like it, you can always hide his glasses..... I was forty before I heard a compliment that I believed, and in that moment.... I realized how foolish, how mis-guided I had been. How much I had missed out on! There isn't a man in my family that doesn't openly appreciate women, and almost ALL are military or law enforcement. Ladies today,...... shut up, blush, and politely say thankyou.
5:55 He sounds a bit like John Leguizamo Re: running into one of them -- I don't remember what we were doing (it was 23 years ago), but everybody was bent over screwing around in their footlocker or something, and as I was popping back upright caught one of my drill instructors in the jaw with my elbow, and knocked his cover off - he was steamed... lol didn't get killed for that one though, because he was at fault being right behind me at the wrong time. Ultimately, he was one of my favorite DIs.
I was in Air Force from '66 to '70. In basic training I was always having trouble with left and righ in close order drills. The D.I. cam to me one day and had me go to the compound flag pole and give facing commands to the flag pole. Of course I had to do the facing movement also. During drill once, I messed up again and the D.I. gave me a rock to carry in my left hand. He said, "If I ask you for this rock you'd better have it or I'll set you back 2 weeks." Sgt. Starr. I'll never forget him. I carried that rock for the remainder of basic. In fact I took it home with me on my first leave. I think mother threw it away thinking it was just a rock. LOL
AF basic 69 we had a guy that had to carry a big wet sponge with him at all times. at least once a day he was instructed to remove his cap after which the sponge was wrung out on his head. Then he got his ass chewed for having a dry sponge. at the first opportunity he would have to rewet the sponge. Basic was not enjoyable for him
@@tzackaria7 - Basic isn't supposed to be "enjoyable" regardless of the branch!! They're there to get you acclimated to military life, and get you ready for additional training and possible deployments!
My dad once told me a story of when he went through Army boot camp, he didn't remember what the guy did, but once during chow somebody was made to stand flat against the wall, hands up with one foot on the ground, and the only thing he was allowed to say was "I am a spider." The entire time.
One morning at Navy boot camp in 2002, there was a RDC (Recruit Division Commander) yelling at the jacked up sailor on watch near the front of the barracks. The kid on the top bunk next to my bunk yelled for them to shut the hell up. The RDC came flying down (at which moment the kid sat up and realized he fucked up) hauled him out of bed, made him about face and put his nose to the pole of his bunk and tell his rack (bed), to be quiet for the next hour. Still makes me laugh thinking about that ..
Agreed, but it seems like they all know about the knife hand. But none of them have as much of a command of body language and such a wide range of gestures as a Marine DI. I bet your that you if put a bunch of DI/DSs and the equivalent from the other branches all in a uniform with no uniforms, just civvies or plain cammies, and have them got at it, you'd be able to spot the DIs after a short while.
@@ayoutubecommenter1827 they didn't pull this prior service redoing adult basic crap till around 2005, To my knowledge, only the US Army/ARNG does this. I went into the Army after 12 yrs USN already under my belt AND had 2 enlistments with the Army by that time so you know what I said. USAF said come on in, you're good..did another 8 with them.
13:35 in my JROTC (Marines) we had a "kmowledge pad" which was just our learning material and it was to keep track of USMC history and other important things including history. But we didn't have that one of "Who was the first Marine to earn the medal of Honor" We had other historical names listed like Opa Mae Johnson and Major Burrows and such.
I had a very similar incident with a female DI. Back hall of receiving, walked by an open hatch, saw the cover out of the corner of my eye and yelled Good Evening Sir. I then heard something that chilled me to core. A female voice say "Aw hell no! Get back here!" That is what causes absolute fear! What happened next, I will never forget the torture that ensued!
That was totally un-necessary. All you had to do is explain that sir is the masculine form and is always acceptable. I'm sure she would say - Oh! Thanks for correcting me and waddle away. Yea, I'd be that guy doing a lot of PT.
I was in the Marines. Females are sperated from men in boot. For a reason. Marine Corps is the most longest and hardest of all boot camps. Male Male female recruits have different standards because of how hard it is. All the other branches have both men and woman together in boot camp because it's just easier. Lol yes, other branches have badasses in it, but the Marines just have more lol. I mean, it's obvious that the Marines are the roughest and toughest, it has the least amount of members in it.
When I went through CG boot camp, I remember the female DI's were 100x tougher on us because they had to prove a point that they weren't weak. Whenever I heard Petty Officer Russo voice first thing in the morning, I knew that day was going to suck
@@edscmidt5193 except Russo would tortured the whole barrack for the 1 guys mistake and the guy who made the mistake would become the rent of the pack.
In AF basic training the DI dressed me down. His Smokey bear hat was hitting me at the bridge of my nose as he yelled at me, his cigaret smoke, still in his mouth, drifted up into my eyes. At 76 years of age, I still laugh at this enlisted man instruction. Later, going through officer training, it was a joke because everything was explained and made sense...without yelling.
@@tzackaria7 I'm saying today....from starting from, 2006 or 2007. Not back then. Back then, ALL services were tough and or tougher. Yes, even the marine corps. I'd say, from my dad's time in the marines(62 to 71) until my time (04 to 09) things have definitely changed even by the time I went in but also unfortunately changed again around 2006ish or 2007ish time. At least marine boot you can't have your cell phone still lol army even now allows cell phones in the barracks and for the recruits during (non training time) wtf does that mean lol
When I at 18 joined the USAF and in basic training when the TI would try to break each recruit down then it came my time. I did not stutter, stammer or was even addled, I just calmly answered him, clearly and confidently. I guess this confused him and the TI starting asking me if I was prior service, a wash back or ROTC, I said no sergeant to all of them, he asked me to explain myself, and bewildered on what he was asking me, he yelled it louder "explain yourself Airman" and I said I do not understand the Sergeant's question? Then he asked me if my daddy had or was in the service, I said yes sergeant, he had been. And then he said what was he in? and I replied He was a Marine, who was also a drill instructor. All the sergeant said was " that explains it, and moved along. Thanks dad! best gift he ever gave me was how to handle hard times.
I got it. That Chief sort of looks like Vince Vaughn but he really sounds like him. Same cadence and sound of voice. Mannerisms are very similar. Vince Vaughn was in the movie Hacksaw Ridge. He played a Platoon Sergeant named Howell.
This is giving me PTSD of the Pearl Harbor (receiving for the first few days of boot), not because I was scared, but because I drank a ton of water for urinalysis the first night. I gave them my sample but then when I was in formation to move on to the next part so we can meet our RDCs (Recruit Division Commanders) the water started to kick in hard. I asked a petty officer (can't remember if it was 2nd or 1st class) if I could use the head. He asked, "can it wait?" And poor recruit me, literally sweating it off for the last 5 minutes, almost cried "no Petty Officer" 😂
Though I never was in the Military, I did graduate from the police academy and got a taste of what Marine DI's are like(we had a Marine DI for drill). Before I went in, my grandfather(former DI), advised that if I told a DI that I found the cure for the cold he would make me do push-ups for not finding the cure for cancer. This advise helped me learn how to take unjustified punishment and still have a positive attitude at the the end of the day. Looking back, it made the 6 month academy a lot easier.
Funniest moment in CG boot camp for me was the kid that stole extra cookies from the galley and got busted. They had him in the hall doing push ups for an hour yelling mmm mmm good cookie every time he went down. The whole squadbay was struggling to swallow the laughter because we didn't want to get in trouble too. 😂
I worked aboard MCRD SD for over 20 years. There was always that one Marine everyone was feared or respected. We would be walking to the Parade Deck for any sort of ceremony and of course Sgt major Vines would be walking the corridor and the fear of God that he would place in Marines was priceless! he would light them up, all you hear is whoa,whoa, whoa 😳
i know what type of devildog you mean. I have a 1st Sgt in mind. Never forget the first time i saw him. at my first duty station. nicest man but his look was something else. glad you have some good memories of your time with the Corps.
I was Army. Halfway through basic, my company was tested on what we had learned so far; D&C, Basic Rifle Maintenance, CBR, (CBN these days?) Land Nav, etc.; timed, go or no-go. 160 trainees. We carried score cards with us, and the tester at each site or event would sign you off go or no-go. When the results were tallied, I was the only trainee all-go. That was on a Friday. There were no weekend passes, even for me; but having nowhere I wanted to go anyway, I just relaxed with a novel in the barracks. Old-style WWII, 2-story wood frame buildings. One 20-man open bay per floor, open communal latrine and showers. Saturday, and a half-day Sunday, the rest of the trainees got smoked. PT, log drills, Dying Cockroach, police calls, maintenance on the outsides of the barracks and the company area, the works. Our senior Drill Sergeant had a small private room, about 10'x12', just to the right of the front door of my barracks as you entered from outside. He lived there several days and nights a week. The man was getting old for a Drill Sergeant, but tall, sun-leathered, fit, solid, tough as nails, with a face like a hawk. If he had any weak spots, he didn't show 'em. He told me he wanted to see me. There were two chairs in his room, besides the plain wooden desk, dresser, and metal bunk. We sat, and for about 10 or 15 minutes, we talked. He wanted to know a little bit about me; where I was from, why I enlisted, etc., and told me the same about himself, including some about his long experience in the Army, how he saw his role as a DS, etc.. I don't think he said anything about my all-go performance, but he didn't have to. I think those few minutes were really about that, and he was giving me respect for my performance without making it special or saying anything that might go to my head. We both still had jobs to do, and that was that; but nothing said we couldn't take a quick breather together before getting back in harness. But just that little bit of recognition, that quick nod when nobody else was looking, fed my self-assurance, and helped me continue to give my best to the mission. THAT man was a leader.
"She's way too hot for me to take her seriously" that has to be the best thing I've ever heard *Watches for five more seconds* YO CHILL I mean we're all thinking it but CHILL
Goodest one? - that actually was the best. In boot camp, one DI asked, "Do we have any Momma's boys in here?" and one recruit actually raised his hand. LOL. And we had another one show up with his tennis racket. Yipes.
I had the privilege of being under combat hardened RDCs in bootcamp (Navy version of Drill Instructors that you see in this vid) and we made hall of fame. Which doesn't mean anything when you get out of boot, but I still feel good about it. They were like what I imagined marine drill instructors to be. Our Senior Chief even dropped about 30 people to other divisions or they were cycled back to start over.
Yeah, some RDCs are brutal. I had a female Chief who pulled back about the same number. She was infamous on our ship. I remember hearing from a buddy in the opposite berth being told by their RDCs that if they ever fucked up bad enough, they were going to bring my Chief to reeducate them. They could always hear our punishments across the hallway. 😅
I wish they had hidden cameras in the mid 80's during boot camp. The kids today wouldn't last 2 seconds. And that's the same thing my friends who served during the Vietnam era said to me about the 80's compared to late 60's.
@@KeithGreenshields Agree with you both, I was at P.I. in '79, father there in '54, uncle in '48 so I heard the stories growing up then a co-worker said in the early 90's they weren't allowed to even cuss a recruit I knew it was all down hill to the wimpy wagon from there.
@@josephstorm6093 I did basic at Fort Leonard Wood in the 1990 before they started training females. They told us they were only allowed to cuss if nobody had a problem with it. They asked anyone that had a problem to raise their hand and one guy did it. They called him to the front of the formation and while one DS strong together as many cuss words as possible in to a single sentence while smoking him another DS gave a speech that started with they gave zero f's about our feelings about cussing
@@ryancumbie8148 It wouldn't "cum up" at all if boot camp had stayed consistent over the years. It is very relevant in a conversation like this because it has changed so much and is continuing to work its way to summer camp status. You obviously either went in recently or never went through it or you'd understand and not make such a ridiculous comment.
I met that chief as a recruit in the summer of 2019. Whole division was pretty starstruck because we had all seen the video of him, but he was pretty cool with us since we were pretty late in training. Had a broken foot too so it was funny to see him scooter around on one of those weird knee scooters.
She looked hard as nails in training. Good instructor. I had a buddy whose wife was a DI. She reminded me of her except blond. Both very attractive, small in size but full of fire and knowledge.
The skinny SDI giving the black friday speech was my plt. One of the best SNCO’s I’ve had. We lost initial drill and he put away his black belt brought out his green belt for the rest of the day. Our squad bay was fucked at the end of the day.
James you have to admit the recruit is respecting her in spite of her being female and good-looking. That is impressive (and smart) on the recruit's part.
Yup, well he has no choice. I realize the times have changed, not used to seeing female CC's/ DI's/Ti's screaming at male recruits...Didn't see that 40 yrs ago.
I was a laundry recruit in boot camp, running back and forth handing out all the uniforms. Someone was bent over and when I ran past I hit them I knocked them down, kept running, then a firm hand grabbed my glasses strap and I was on my back being “corrected” by the drill instructor I just knocked over. All seems funny now but then I thought I was dead!
Agree. The “Navy Guy” is the best and he’s got enough chest decorations to prove he’s the best. Damn this brings back a lot of old, old memories. Too funny. In MY NAVY of yesteryear, they were called CC’s (Company Commanders) and no, none of ‘em were women. LOL!!!
I was in the navy. This chief resembles how most RDCs (Recruit Division Commander) really are minus a few choice swear words. If they aren't yelling in your face, they are very condescending. They will literally treat you like you are a special kind of stupid. All of the videos I've seen about navy boot camp are really soft for the cameras.
Watching this reminded me of my boot camp drill sergeants. Drill Sgt. Strickland made such an impact on my life that I still remember him 34 years later! Fort McClellan, summer of 1987. Chemical battalion
Just found your videos, as a former DI, I have to say I find them entertaining. After many years of interviewing service members, the toughest boot camp, after the Marine Corps is the Coast Guard, in my opinion.
When I was in bootcamp in 1986, the Navy drill instructor is known as a company commander. We also knew them, unofficially or more casually as "red ropes" or cc's, as in, "Who was your cc?" But we usually called them company commander. From what I saw, they were either E-6's or E-7's. Mine was an E-7, Chief Petty Officer Eclarinal. Company 105. He liked to "mash" us a lot (punishment exercises). I can remember the entire company getting mashed, for two hours, inside the squad bay, in pea coats, in summertime. There was so much sweat on the floor of the squad bay it was very difficult staying upright and not having your hands slide out from underneath you. I forget what infraction was. :)
You, sir, are 100% right about telling your kids to clean something. It's hard to take a step back and realize that your kids haven't been through USMC boot camp.
Ohhh man reminds me of some funny times when our senior drill instructor would get “worked up” and made himself laugh a couple times lol 😂 good times, good times
That is HMC(FMF/SCWS) Kalaw, Chief Hospital Corpsman. He was the lead RDC for my brother division at Boot. He is a hard ass. Huge respect for him. And yes when you arrive at reception they have you call home on your cell then it’s turned off and you put it in your pocket until First Issue.

The guy who played Sammy the Bull in the John Gotti movie. Nicholas Turturro.
Pleeeeeeease do video 2 of the navy video with Chief Kalaw. It is GOLD just for the few minutes with him. I would LOVE to see your reaction.
when you are a female recruit an ordered to stand at attention do they say throw out your chest lmao
Legend has it, he's still doing the right thing when no one's looking.
😂🤣😂😂👌

Love it
As a coastie, your comment made me laugh so hard I had a full on coughing attack lmfAo
He was the last time I looked
In an alternate universe, Jameson was a Coastie who deliberately fucked up so his hot drills would keep yelling at him.
We had the funniest women Company Commanders (DI's) in the Coast Guard. When their duty came around, it seemed they could think twice as fast as their male counterparts so you had to up your game. Two Commanders, a man and a woman, were in competition to go at each other and they used recruits as weapons. It was funny as hell. Women DI's are no joke. This was back in '86.

WTF are you talking about?
When I went through basic training, never ever found any situation funny while being dealt with from a Drill Sargent(s), but after completing basic training, and AIT, the first time I went home on leave, my whole composition of being had been changed from what I was prior. They had reprogrammed my way of thinking, and behavior so extensive that my own family couldn't believe the change, it was like to them that I was a completely different person, but at the end of the day, I'm thankful for those who changed my demeanor, because it has served me very well thus far throughout my life.
They call it training. In reality its behavior modification through hazing, fear, trauma and humiliation. In the end most are so traumatized they thank their abusers.
Really? Nothing was funny in BCT? Then you had some boring Drill Sgts, cause they had some of the funniest insults and punishments. Having a female drill sgt saying the pvt could suck dick better than she could. Fucking hilarious.

Fun fact: that Navy Chief was a blue rope in my division (RDC in training), he made Chief while we were there. Absolute badass, and had some great mentorship for us concerning leadership and resilience. He needs his own video.
That Navy Chief is actually a really cool dude. We served on our first ship together way back in the day, and he was always the happy, go-lucky type. He turns it on for new recruits, though. Off duty, he's still a jokester.
Most of them are like that. 20 of us failed the PT at the end of basic and had to stay an extra week to test again. WE had to do little jobs around the base till then, most of the time helping the DI's with the new recruits. To there eyes, we were regular sailors so they were pretty chill.

Great video on US Marine basic. When I enlisted in the Canadian Army Oct/79. Ten rules you will need to help enhance this enjoyable experience?
1. Stare into the NCO's eyes they love attitude, gets them off big time
2. Always address an NCO by their first name, yo dog, gee, or playa will do
3. Try to be a few minutes late for roll call, they love rebellious types
3. It's okay to sleep in, they understand. Better yet, ask for a wake-up call
4. Tell the NCOs you know how basic training is, you've seen full metal jacket
5. Tell the NCOs you know about combat, you've played tour of duty on PS4
6. Ask the NCOs if you can have the weekend off? you've made other plans
7. Remember to bring food into the barracks, they understand, guys get hungry
8. Hey, Sgt. Do I really have to make my bed? But my mom usually does that
9. Ask the NCOs how their weekend was, they love it when you get personal
10. NCOs love your feedback, always bitch/complain whining if possible?
Don't bother trying to outsmart the NCO'S, they went through this just like you, so every trick you think you know? they've already done it, thought about it, or got caught doing it by their drill instructors, who went through the exact same thing. You will remember this experience for the rest of your life, I can guarantee it. Will you make it through basic? depends upon how badly you want it. Like everything in life, being in the military has a cost. Only in here, the costs are much higher
The first thing I said to my male DI on the first day of Bootcamp was “Aye Ma’am!” I was told to fill up my canteen along with the others, and we had to do it within a minute and they told us to go quicker. And for some reason my mouth said “Ma’am” instead of “sir”. I heard dead silence after calling him ma’am, and I didn’t dare turn around to see his face. Lmfao. I was his favorite target during the length of bootcamp every since that moment.
The face was probably a mixture of shock at being called Ma'am, and pure joy of having a good target.
I've had the privilege of working with Marines but I didn't know a lot about their time in basic training. I've been a DI in the Australian Army and I've always enjoyed some of the "day one, week one" movie scenes. Interesting fact ... Even the toughest, meanest face-ripping DI was once a recruit getting hammered by the old school Instructors. Cheers.
what's the ADF like?
And putting recruits under prolonged stress has worked for 3000 years.
Marines don't go through "basic training." We went through BOOT CAMP. Big difference, while the Army, Navy, and Air Force are learning how to fold their socks Marines are learning to locate, close with, and destroy the enemy...

When I was in boot, the senior DI got about 8” from my face, and the ass chewing began. Then 2 more DI’s joined in one on my right ear, and another on the right. When I felt the breath of the 4rth DI on the back of my neck, I lost it. Yea, all Marines know not to laugh in this situation because of what’s coming next. Oddly enough the DI’s got into a little huddle, and started laughing. Another recruit began laughing in formation and the focus changed to him. That poor guy was bent for about 30 minutes on the meat grinder, and later at sundown, he was bent on the mini meat grinder and before rack. I went up and volunteered to join my fellow recruit the first 2 times. The last time before rack, I just went up and joined in. Within a couple minutes, all the recruits joined in front of their racks. At that point, he stopped everyone, complimented us, and said goodnight Marines. We were never referred to as recruits again. This was back in 88 when you weren’t a Marine until graduation, and we still had 3 weeks in 3rd phase. For the other branch members to understand this was a huge thing.
He was probably drunk
The unity everyone showed probably made him proud.
The goal outside of making individually physically fit, mentally tough, and disciplined marines is to make them a team. The corps goes to war for the corps first and the country second. There's no greater brotherhood In the military (not counting small spec ops units) than the marine. corps.
That woman instructor speaks more like a s-m Dominatrix and was way too cute, though, she can instruct me anytime she wants.
Exact same vibes I got watching that.

Loved this!I went through Coastie boot camp in 86. I don't quite understand the change in DI covers. Seems a bit of a reach. My DI (company commander) was an Aviation Survivalman Master Chief (rescue swimmer). Those guys were like gods in Coastie world. He's hammer the hell out of us while drinking coffee, and I don't recall him ever yelling, but we all knew he wasn't f-ing around. The one that pissed me off the most was when an RMCM gigged me for a finger print on my belt buckle on a Friday inspection, which meant I was restricted to the base for the weekend. What sucked was that he was the one who put the finger print on it. Turns out, he was one of my dad's buddies from when he was in.
USCG'91 my CC was a short ginger irishguy.... loud but firm and fair. and somehow would still scare you when he walked on deck
Had a guy that needed to go to medical in the middle of the night and the drill instructor starts screaming at the element leader to accompany the guy there. The element leader says to the TI “Sir, I have to use the bathroom” The TI responds “A bathroom? Is there a f***ing bathtub in there? Are we gonna play some f***ing tickle pickle?” Still makes me laugh 😂

The Navy Chief's voice, behaviors, and mannerisms reminds me of the actor Vince Vaughn, who played a Drill Sergeant in the movie Hacksaw Ridge.
6:17 - Yup! Vince Vaughn vibes for sure!!!
If I called my drill instructor “sir!” he would get in my face and tell me “I work for a living. Don’t call me sir!” and the answer was. “Yes drill sergeant!”
Yet in USN all we said during basic was "Sir"
@@RScott413 Same with the Marine Corps. Different branches have different rules.
Big difference between Drill Instructor and Drill Sergeant.
The Marines DS are called sir Army are called SGT. just so you know.
Recruit: "Yes, sir!"
D.I.: "I am not sir! Sir you say for useless people!"
I had a Drill Sergeant who was a Viet Nam vet, two actually, and they were the best. They taught you what you really needed to know, and could do so with humor.
People don’t know what fear is until they served w/a Vietnam NCO.
I had the chief that you called chubby as an RDC, and I can confirm that she isn’t, she’s a green side corpsman that’s built like a power lifter and has really broad shoulders and wears a men’s uniform (which is probably why you would think that). I can confirm that she is absolutely terrifying, she would flip tables and go into her office to do shoulder presses with an amo can at an extreme pace to vent. Still, she genuinely cares about her job, so she’s one of the people that I’ve had the most respect for in my life.

Agreed. To be truthful, this whole vid, I was waiting for something funny to happen; didn't see a thing.
There CAN be funny stuff happening when you get a bunch of trainees under megastress, especially if you mix that with a drill who's secretly got a sense of humor and sees an opening.

Hey! A man is NEVER too old to appreciate a beautiful woman, and I thank him for that.
@@lindamacduff2566 And I, in turn, thank YOU. If, in fact, you are a woman (I could call myself Yvonne or something on UA-cam if I wanted to), it's refreshing to read that. And just because I find many women to be physically attractive, that doesn't mean that I view them as sex objects. To be honest, physical attraction is often first in my thoughts when I first see most women. I believe most men are just made that way. But if I have more than a glance at, or a passing few seconds encounter with a woman, I start looking at her other qualities; intelligence, down-to-earth horse sense, self-confidence, sense of humor, general attitude, etc..
I've met many women who were average-looking at best IMO, who had a certain something in their manner that made me want to spend more time with them, and find out what they were about.
In contrast, I've met many women I found very attractive physically, but after talking with them for a few minutes, didn't care to continue; at work, casual conversation in a checkout line at a store, at a party, whatever.
The most interesting people to me are those I can interact comfortably with on several levels. One of my favorite things is a good conversation with give-and-take; and if we find a place or two or three where we don't always see eye-to-eye, if we can agree to disagree, and we have common ground elsewhere, then that's cool.
@@kellyrobinson1780 yes indeed, I am most definately a woman, and in my day dare I say I was a head-turner. For so many years I was unable to take a sincere complement because I had been conditioned to assume anything out of a man's mouth had an alterior and selfish intention. That's just wrong. Very few men are walkin talkin poets. The old adage goes "Men fall in love through their eyes, women fall in love through their ears". It's a sweet and highly underappreciated gift that God built into them for us, it's what keeps them looking at their beloved wives well into old age. Besides, if you don't like it, you can always hide his glasses..... I was forty before I heard a compliment that I believed, and in that moment.... I realized how foolish, how mis-guided I had been.

Re: running into one of them -- I don't remember what we were doing (it was 23 years ago), but everybody was bent over screwing around in their footlocker or something, and as I was popping back upright caught one of my drill instructors in the jaw with my elbow, and knocked his cover off - he was steamed... lol didn't get killed for that one though, because he was at fault being right behind me at the wrong time. Ultimately, he was one of my favorite DIs.
I was in Air Force from '66 to '70. In basic training I was always having trouble with left and righ in close order drills. The D.I. cam to me one day and had me go to the compound flag pole and give facing commands to the flag pole. Of course I had to do the facing movement also. During drill once, I messed up again and the D.I. gave me a rock to carry in my left hand. He said, "If I ask you for this rock you'd better have it or I'll set you back 2 weeks." Sgt. Starr. I'll never forget him. I carried that rock for the remainder of basic. In fact I took it home with me on my first leave. I think mother threw it away thinking it was just a rock. LOL
AF basic 69 we had a guy that had to carry a big wet sponge with him at all times. at least once a day he was instructed to remove his cap after which the sponge was wrung out on his head. Then he got his ass chewed for having a dry sponge. at the first opportunity he would have to rewet the sponge. Basic was not enjoyable for him

I don't know why, but this made me laugh so much

One morning at Navy boot camp in 2002, there was a RDC (Recruit Division Commander) yelling at the jacked up sailor on watch near the front of the barracks. The kid on the top bunk next to my bunk yelled for them to shut the hell up. The RDC came flying down (at which moment the kid sat up and realized he fucked up) hauled him out of bed, made him about face and put his nose to the pole of his bunk and tell his rack (bed), to be quiet for the next hour. Still makes me laugh thinking about that ..
It’s so clear that the Marine DI’s are on a completely different level than any other branch.
Agreed...
yeah. the air force di's are pretty soft but if u get them angry they will go off just as bad.
Agreed, but it seems like they all know about the knife hand. But none of them have as much of a command of body language and such a wide range of gestures as a Marine DI. I bet your that you if put a bunch of DI/DSs and the equivalent from the other branches all in a uniform with no uniforms, just civvies or plain cammies, and have them got at it, you'd be able to spot the DIs after a short while.
As a Marine. Everything else looks like a cakewalk. That's why marines dont have to redo boot if they switch branches but everyone else does. Lol
@@ayoutubecommenter1827 they didn't pull this prior service redoing adult basic crap till around 2005, To my knowledge, only the US Army/ARNG does this. I went into the Army after 12 yrs USN already under my belt AND had 2 enlistments with the Army by that time so you know what I said. USAF said come on in, you're good..did another 8 with them.
13:35 in my JROTC (Marines) we had a "kmowledge pad" which was just our learning material and it was to keep track of USMC history and other important things including history. But we didn't have that one of "Who was the first Marine to earn the medal of Honor" We had other historical names listed like Opa Mae Johnson and Major Burrows and such.
I had a very similar incident with a female DI. Back hall of receiving, walked by an open hatch, saw the cover out of the corner of my eye and yelled Good Evening Sir. I then heard something that chilled me to core. A female voice say "Aw hell no! Get back here!" That is what causes absolute fear! What happened next, I will never forget the torture that ensued!
That was totally un-necessary. All you had to do is explain that sir is the masculine form and is always acceptable. I'm sure she would say - Oh! Thanks for correcting me and waddle away.
Yea, I'd be that guy doing a lot of PT.
I was in the Marines. Females are sperated from men in boot. For a reason. Marine Corps is the most longest and hardest of all boot camps. Male Male female recruits have different standards because of how hard it is. All the other branches have both men and woman together in boot camp because it's just easier. Lol yes, other branches have badasses in it, but the Marines just have more lol. I mean, it's obvious that the Marines are the roughest and toughest, it has the least amount of members in it.

At 76 years of age, I still laugh at this enlisted man instruction. Later, going through officer training, it was a joke because everything was explained and made sense...without yelling.
Basic training is designed to break down the civilian and build a soldier or whatever to serve his nation.

I did not stutter, stammer or was even addled, I just calmly answered him, clearly and confidently. I guess this confused him and the TI starting asking me if I was prior service, a wash back or ROTC, I said no sergeant to all of them, he asked me to explain myself, and bewildered on what he was asking me, he yelled it louder "explain yourself Airman" and I said I do not understand the Sergeant's question? Then he asked me if my daddy had or was in the service, I said yes sergeant, he had been. And then he said what was he in? and I replied He was a Marine, who was also a drill instructor. All the sergeant said was " that explains it, and moved along. Thanks dad!

I gave them my sample but then when I was in formation to move on to the next part so we can meet our RDCs (Recruit Division Commanders) the water started to kick in hard.
I asked a petty officer (can't remember if it was 2nd or 1st class) if I could use the head. He asked, "can it wait?" And poor recruit me, literally sweating it off for the last 5 minutes, almost cried "no Petty Officer" 😂
Marine DI are by far the funniest I've personally been around, and lord save you if you laugh
The chief you liked is FMF qualed. He spent plenty of time with the Marines and knows how the games are played.
Though I never was in the Military, I did graduate from the police academy and got a taste of what Marine DI's are like(we had a Marine DI for drill). Before I went in, my grandfather(former DI), advised that if I told a DI that I found the cure for the cold he would make me do push-ups for not finding the cure for cancer. This advise helped me learn how to take unjustified punishment and still have a positive attitude at the the end of the day. Looking back, it made the 6 month academy a lot easier.
My buddy said instructors at the CHP academy were just like DIs. Some had been Marines.
“Call me daddy” swear best thing this man has said
When he said that it caught me off guard had to go back 10 seconds
Funniest moment in CG boot camp for me was the kid that stole extra cookies from the galley and got busted. They had him in the hall doing push ups for an hour yelling mmm mmm good cookie every time he went down. The whole squadbay was struggling to swallow the laughter because we didn't want to get in trouble too. 😂
I worked aboard MCRD SD for over 20 years. There was always that one Marine everyone was feared or respected. We would be walking to the Parade Deck for any sort of ceremony and of course Sgt major Vines would be walking the corridor and the fear of God that he would place in Marines was priceless! he would light them up, all you hear is whoa,whoa, whoa 😳
i know what type of devildog you mean. I have a 1st Sgt in mind. Never forget the first time i saw him. at my first duty station. nicest man but his look was something else. glad you have some good memories of your time with the Corps.
I was Army. Halfway through basic, my company was tested on what we had learned so far; D&C, Basic Rifle Maintenance, CBR, (CBN these days?) Land Nav, etc.; timed, go or no-go. 160 trainees. We carried score cards with us, and the tester at each site or event would sign you off go or no-go.
When the results were tallied, I was the only trainee all-go. That was on a Friday. There were no weekend passes, even for me; but having nowhere I wanted to go anyway, I just relaxed with a novel in the barracks. Old-style WWII, 2-story wood frame buildings. One 20-man open bay per floor, open communal latrine and showers.
Saturday, and a half-day Sunday, the rest of the trainees got smoked. PT, log drills, Dying Cockroach, police calls, maintenance on the outsides of the barracks and the company area, the works.
Our senior Drill Sergeant had a small private room, about 10'x12', just to the right of the front door of my barracks as you entered from outside. He lived there several days and nights a week. The man was getting old for a Drill Sergeant, but tall, sun-leathered, fit, solid, tough as nails, with a face like a hawk. If he had any weak spots, he didn't show 'em.
He told me he wanted to see me. There were two chairs in his room, besides the plain wooden desk, dresser, and metal bunk. We sat, and for about 10 or 15 minutes, we talked. He wanted to know a little bit about me; where I was from, why I enlisted, etc., and told me the same about himself, including some about his long experience in the Army, how he saw his role as a DS, etc..
I don't think he said anything about my all-go performance, but he didn't have to. I think those few minutes were really about that, and he was giving me respect for my performance without making it special or saying anything that might go to my head. We both still had jobs to do, and that was that; but nothing said we couldn't take a quick breather together before getting back in harness.
But just that little bit of recognition, that quick nod when nobody else was looking, fed my self-assurance, and helped me continue to give my best to the mission.
THAT man was a leader.
I remember sgtmaj vines chasing my vehicle on foot yelling as we drove through SOI. We didn't stop
@@joshhume4307 Wow...
@Jeffrey Bird No it surprised me you didn’t 🛑 that sounds like something he would do.
She looks more like a dominatrix than a drill instructor
Atleast someone said it
Underrated comment!
so im not the only one that got a semi when she said "say it, you" LOL
Mostly same thing, just saying
Wouldn’t mind having some fun with one of them.
"She's way too hot for me to take her seriously" that has to be the best thing I've ever heard
*Watches for five more seconds*
YO CHILL I mean we're all thinking it but CHILL
Goodest one? - that actually was the best. In boot camp, one DI asked, "Do we have any Momma's boys in here?" and one recruit actually raised his hand. LOL. And we had another one show up with his tennis racket. Yipes.
After the 1st 2 weeks of basic and I finally found my place, I could appreciate how witty the DIs were. I would laugh internally a lot
I’m enlisting at 26 and fully aware they are going to rip me to shreds at some point for not keeping it in
That female coast guard ds can discipline whenever
Same
betas dont last in military
@@drabnail777 dude wouldn’t _you_ want to disciplined by her?
I had the privilege of being under combat hardened RDCs in bootcamp (Navy version of Drill Instructors that you see in this vid) and we made hall of fame. Which doesn't mean anything when you get out of boot, but I still feel good about it. They were like what I imagined marine drill instructors to be. Our Senior Chief even dropped about 30 people to other divisions or they were cycled back to start over.
Yeah, some RDCs are brutal. I had a female Chief who pulled back about the same number. She was infamous on our ship. I remember hearing from a buddy in the opposite berth being told by their RDCs that if they ever fucked up bad enough, they were going to bring my Chief to reeducate them. They could always hear our punishments across the hallway. 😅
The Navy D.I. who is a Master chief sounds like Joe Pesci when he starred in the movie Casino! 😂
The Navy boot camp video is awesome. They had some smartass recruits come in. You could tell they wanted to yell back at the instructors lol
I wish they had hidden cameras in the mid 80's during boot camp. The kids today wouldn't last 2 seconds. And that's the same thing my friends who served during the Vietnam era said to me about the 80's compared to late 60's.
You think you had it bad? todays, 80's, 60's are nothing compared to the 40's!
@@KeithGreenshields Agree with you both, I was at P.I. in '79, father there in '54, uncle in '48 so I heard the stories growing up then a co-worker said in the early 90's they weren't allowed to even cuss a recruit I knew it was all down hill to the wimpy wagon from there.
@@josephstorm6093 I did basic at Fort Leonard Wood in the 1990 before they started training females. They told us they were only allowed to cuss if nobody had a problem with it. They asked anyone that had a problem to raise their hand and one guy did it. They called him to the front of the formation and while one DS strong together as many cuss words as possible in to a single sentence while smoking him another DS gave a speech that started with they gave zero f's about our feelings about cussing
It's funny how you all gotta stroke your dicks because of what era you did military training in.
@@ryancumbie8148 It wouldn't "cum up" at all if boot camp had stayed consistent over the years. It is very relevant in a conversation like this because it has changed so much and is continuing to work its way to summer camp status. You obviously either went in recently or never went through it or you'd understand and not make such a ridiculous comment.
"Say it louder call me daddy" 😂😂😂😂. & that DI & recruit when you said "what does he remind me of?" Reminds me of a scene from Full Metal Jacket.
What kills me is when he said "say something" his emphasis on the "G" In the word something had me crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The chubby guys on the ships are what they use to ⚓ it down 😁 I still have dreams that I am back in Basic starting over again. It was a good time
I met that chief as a recruit in the summer of 2019. Whole division was pretty starstruck because we had all seen the video of him, but he was pretty cool with us since we were pretty late in training. Had a broken foot too so it was funny to see him scooter around on one of those weird knee scooters.
That chief reminds me of a cross between Vince Vaughn and Paul Rodriguez.
Wait, Lizard King broke his foot?
Is the dragonlady still doing haircuts?
My chief just like him 1989.
@@makim-k5850 Just went through basic and came out a little over three weeks ago she is indeed still there, turns out she hates that nickname though.
Petty officer Gun was my CC. She was no joke. Lol.
She looked hard as nails in training. Good instructor. I had a buddy whose wife was a DI. She reminded me of her except blond. Both very attractive, small in size but full of fire and knowledge.
The skinny SDI giving the black friday speech was my plt. One of the best SNCO’s I’ve had. We lost initial drill and he put away his black belt brought out his green belt for the rest of the day. Our squad bay was fucked at the end of the day.
James you have to admit the recruit is respecting her in spite of her being female and good-looking. That is impressive (and smart) on the recruit's part.
Yup, well he has no choice. I realize the times have changed, not used to seeing female CC's/ DI's/Ti's screaming at male recruits...Didn't see that 40 yrs ago.
Maybe its his Thing?
@@n1ksf 52 years ago for me. Times have changed.
@@donclark4685 indeed they have..For the better remains to be seen.
The navy chief sounds allitle sweet. LOL
He was teaching the recruits well.
@@The1970Jman he was green side and he was not sweet at all
I was a laundry recruit in boot camp, running back and forth handing out all the uniforms. Someone was bent over and when I ran past I hit them I knocked them down, kept running, then a firm hand grabbed my glasses strap and I was on my back being “corrected” by the drill instructor I just knocked over. All seems funny now but then I thought I was dead!
Good Times! Graduated MC boot camp, Coast Guard Boot camp and OCS!! Video brought back good memories.......
You a fool 😂😂😂 “she reminds me of a girlfriend” “hit me with a feather whip”
6:22, he actually lol a lot like “private joker” off of full metal jacket.
My first day in the Navy was almost 3 days long... I think. There called Company Commanders.
I like that hah
@@guts_4534 The idea is to wear you so far down, and I found out later in my career your being watched & evaluated.
Agree. The “Navy Guy” is the best and he’s got enough chest decorations to prove he’s the best.
Damn this brings back a lot of old, old memories. Too funny. In MY NAVY of yesteryear, they were called CC’s (Company Commanders) and no, none of ‘em were women. LOL!!!
"As soft as a gamer's belly eating hot pockets during the carona"
•looks in mirror•
"Well damn..."
This hit me personally.
I was in the navy. This chief resembles how most RDCs (Recruit Division Commander) really are minus a few choice swear words. If they aren't yelling in your face, they are very condescending. They will literally treat you like you are a special kind of stupid. All of the videos I've seen about navy boot camp are really soft for the cameras.
Exactly....Too mild in my eyes compared to days of past
Gotta behave for the camera. They are a different beast behind closed doors.
Watching this reminded me of my boot camp drill sergeants. Drill Sgt. Strickland made such an impact on my life that I still remember him 34 years later! Fort McClellan, summer of 1987. Chemical battalion
6:33 Sargent Carter USMC with Gomer Pyle?
“She is a looker this one.”
Best quote 😂💀
Yeah, ...if you're over 40 and a sexist pig.
I admire their vocal chords... mine would be absolutely shredded after an hour.. they scream 24/7
Just found your videos, as a former DI, I have to say I find them entertaining. After many years of interviewing service members, the toughest boot camp, after the Marine Corps is the Coast Guard, in my opinion.
Army Infantry
2:17 She’s so cute with her little voice when she yells. 😂
When I was in bootcamp in 1986, the Navy drill instructor is known as a company commander. We also knew them, unofficially or more casually as "red ropes" or cc's, as in, "Who was your cc?" But we usually called them company commander. From what I saw, they were either E-6's or E-7's. Mine was an E-7, Chief Petty Officer Eclarinal. Company 105. He liked to "mash" us a lot (punishment exercises). I can remember the entire company getting mashed, for two hours, inside the squad bay, in pea coats, in summertime. There was so much sweat on the floor of the squad bay it was very difficult staying upright and not having your hands slide out from underneath you. I forget what infraction was. :)
You, sir, are 100% right about telling your kids to clean something. It's hard to take a step back and realize that your kids haven't been through USMC boot camp.
I'm Navy and I tip my hat to the Coast Guard for the job they have to do everyday, but this is hilarious!!
Ohhh man reminds me of some funny times when our senior drill instructor would get “worked up” and made himself laugh a couple times lol 😂 good times, good times
So the female company commander her name is petty officer Gunn, she’s still there at cape may😂
somebody needs to show this video to her. lmao
@@OwenGerry she’s seen it😂
Thank you, good Sir 😁
But is she single
@@mrshamwow87 she’s married:/
That is HMC(FMF/SCWS) Kalaw, Chief Hospital Corpsman. He was the lead RDC for my brother division at Boot. He is a hard ass. Huge respect for him. And yes when you arrive at reception they have you call home on your cell then it’s turned off and you put it in your pocket until First Issue.
For some reason part of me is laughing like a lunatic 🤣but I'm also very afraid.😨
