"They'll never hit you" yeah..... now they won't, but back in the day.... oh they did... yes they did.
Yep, they did, or kick you in the shin. I went through boot camp the same time this movie was set in, Dec 1966.
I was going to say the same thing. Nowadays they can’t hit you but Vietnam era was very different
There was a huge shift in the rules about that kind of stuff...physical abuse and excessive verbal abuse and hazing...after the US Military stopped using the draft, and became an all volunteer force. You cannot get away with that stuff if you are dependant on attracting recruits, instead of conscripting them. 🖖💯✌
Hitting was always against their policy my grandpa said but they still would hit u anyway just like they’re not rlly supposed to curse but they still curse all the time just not when ppl are filming it and posting it on youtube
haha! Many a recruit has been physically educated...ridiculous how that rule changed because that was nerve wracking part of it "if I fuck up, I am going to pay the man"
As a former Marine myself, you're very wrong when you say "This will never happen" (on multiple occasions). I know things have changed a lot over the years, but recruits and in some cases DI's commit suicide, or harm each other and that should not be ignored. The pressure is immense. I won't go into detail (out of respect) for the cases that I'm familiar with, but it DOES happen. DI's are also not SUPPOSED to hit a recruit, but human error and emotion DOES come into play, and it happens (even today).
Good luck with the channel Devil Dog.
I’ve seen this clip 20+ times it’s never got old😂 Rest In Peace R. Lee Ermey🙏
Missing ya Gunny. Ya were a great inspiration to me.
@ Tell The Great, The Vietnam Era, is before your time dude. They did things somewhat different from your time 40 50 years later. These Marine Corp Drill Instructors now are mentally deranged yelling Damm Fools. In My day, the Drill Instructors, and Drill Sergeants of the Marine Corp and U.S Army could put a Foot up your Azzzzz. They did Yell. But were more articulate with their words. Just like Drill Instructor Hartman in Full Metal Jacket. Now days these Marine Drill Instructors just Gabbbbbbbbbbb over and over again, like a broken record at the top of there lungs.
I went to bootcamp in 1978 and I saw recruits get their asses handed to them many times. They weren't supposed to hit or kick us but they did!!
My uncle told me about how he saw a drill instructor put a recruit in the meat wagon because he tried to sleep in and skip the morning run lol honestly sounds like the ideal environment to get you ready for the stress of battle to me but everybody has their britches in a twist about everything now.
Which camp
My late father a Vietnam Veteran said the "this is my rifle this is my gun" is the #1 MOST Accurate scene he's ever scene among all Vietnam films
Never refer your rifle as a gun
This is spot on back in our dads and grandpas days
💯
I can speak firsthand. Bootcamp scenes are accurate
Hate to burst your bubble but I and manny of my compadres received this this treatment in the Vietnam era boot camp was reduced from 12 weeks to 8 weeks and Ermey his self said they were giving out “ love taps “ to to impress and save lives, and we gave a Marine in our Cap squad a Wisk scrub down because he wasn’t showering enough ! , it made him a good Marine, and yes you could have gotten ammo back from the range, but nobody wanted to, just remember times and the Marine Corps were a lot different from your sheltered existence, something you probably thought was made up was the Singing of the Micky Mouse Club song happened in ITR or Rifleman school at night just like the movie ( not Vietnam though) , when I saw the movie I thought that was awesome, everything about the movie was super accurate,especially Vietnam ! , it took me a while to get up out of my seat while old memories flooded my brain, regrets and pride both competed in fact, I believed that I did my duty but always wondered what happened after I left. ! , Semper Fi and God Bless the United States Marine Corps, formerCorporal infantry
Wish I was around for that Corps
@@TrelltheGreat There was a huge shift in the rules in the 1970s and 1980s about that kind of stuff...physical abuse and excessive verbal abuse and hazing...after the US Military stopped using the draft, and became an all volunteer force.

@@iKvetch558 yep one of my high school teachers served in th 50's and said they could kick your dick in back then. That 's what he said, "they'd hit you and kick your nuts in the ground."
@@TrelltheGreat No Trell, you don't. Believe me, you really don't. One thing you have to know was that some marines in that era were drafted. I heard of one draftee that farted in a doctor's face while being checked for piles. The doctor made sure he was assigned to the Marine Corps instead of the Army or Navy.
@@caseyparker6375 😂😂
I ship out to boot camp this Monday, hopefully there isn’t a Pvt Joker in my platoon!!
Good luck, brotha! Remember, it’s mostly mental!
We going together
Tur Bo ayyy nice
Enjoy your last day today bud. Im going in December
Pvt Pyle
My uncle enlisted in 1970. He told me they really FUCKED you up back then haha and still he’s the proudest mf marine I ever met. Can’t wait to be apart of the Corps later this year! Thanks for the great content! 🇺🇸
"He went out still roasting him" LMFAO
😂😂
😂😂
The recruits/Marines in the sixties got smacked around often. The problem was that a number of recruits died because of extreme training (drownings and other things). Instructors can't get away with that anymore, but they Corps finds ways to make Boot Camp/OCS just as stressful and brutal. It's just different.
Getting smacked around wasn't the reason recruits died back then, it was because they were desperately recruiting ppl that were below military mental or medical standards.
Private Pyle is a perfect example of this. Look up "Project 100,000"
The Drill Instructor will never hit you? I was at MCRD San Diego in 1988 and I’ll have to disagree with that.... on more than one occasion.
That was 1988 lmao. The corps has gotten so soft since then. They would never hit you if they wanna keep their jobs nowadays
I was at PI in 1997 and the DI's knocked us around all the time. I have seen recruits get punched in the stomach or kicked in the shins. Hazing? We got hazed all god damn day.
He said maybe back in the day but that’s doesn’t happen now
Ermey had said it did happen 100% in those days , that is why he did those scenes . The director wanted it to be as real .. as possible for that era during Vietnam .
I heard that the actor who played him wasn't even an actor at all --- literally was a drill instructor who was supposed to 'advise' the actor, but ended up taking his place, and being the actor, himself, anyway
@@Sammm107 Yes i believe Ermey was the advisor also for the movie An Officer and a Gentleman . Where he advised Lou G. Jr in his drill instructor role .
Trell be careful man. This is most likely going to get demonetized. I ain't snitching though.
You forget this movie takes place in the Vietnam War most of them were never volunteered they were drafted so that be a possibility. They didn't have no standards back then because your number came up in draft
Marines were all volunteer, it was the Army that did all the drafting.
I went through Parris Island as a Marine recruit in 1968. .. from what I understand R. Lee Ermey was a drill instructor during the same time I was at Parris Island. And Within our platoon of roughly 60 to 70 recruits were ONLY about three or four draftees. We did not think much of them. However, the Army did have draftees, a lot of them. But, the commenter above who says that most were draftees is grossly misinformed and wrong. He is talking about the Army only. We Marines were enlistees and proud of it. Semper Fi -USMC
Once a Marine always a Marine. There no former or ex Marines. Semper Fi
I enlisted in the marines a weeks ago, I’m going as an infrantry man because I want to challenge myself wish me luck.
whenyou leaving?
I’m going infantry too man. I’m going to MEPS in September 8th 💪🏾
Fuck yeah man! im going to boot camp on Monday as Infantry
ImNazHam same Paris island
Angel Alcantara Arvizu they didn’t tell me exactly, but they say it can be October
all the shit he’s saying is funny asf dawg😂. If that was in today’s bootcamp, i wonder how much trouble someone would get for laughing
Ehh, when I was in boot camp 2002, I laughed my ass off the entire 13-14 weeks. I definitely paid for it in PT but it's impossible to not laugh. I also picked up a meritorious promotion during boot camp because I impressed the DI's so they definitely let me get away with it more than the one's that couldn't cut it.
Seeing a recruiter for the first time tomorrow, I'm excited and nervous as hell at the same time, I hope it goes well... but from what I've been told it's more so to get "my name on the books" than anything
dont overthink it lol
I’m talking to a Marine Recruiter on Friday , I used to talk to one in HS , he’s going to be nice for the most part to try to win you over, Just ask a lot of questions bro it’ll go well don’t stress it
Be honest with your recruiter but watch out for meps that might be just a bit stressful
@@dylanwestbrooks4014 thanks for the advice, I met him today and tommorow at 1pm we are doing an in depth interview --the kind of interview I need to bring paper work and what not, matter in factly (and this is going to sound sad), but today is the first time I've ever went to a bmv and got my driver tempts *and* filled out a bunch of paper work (which I have never done by my self).
It was a hell of an experience man... now I know what adulting feels like and it sucks lol but it's good to take the right steps toward something rather than just sit oh my ass.
Connor Stinnett don’t sign an open contract buddy, if you know an mos that you want.. go for that one, don’t settle cuz they can put you anywhere the corps needs you with an open contract. I’m currently waiting to be shipped in October
Well, the "blanket party" scene maybe something you feel is fake from your time in, but in '84 this was certainly going to happen to one of the guys in my class. It was planned to the hour it was going to happen, but one of the Drills got wind of it and made sure the guy was protected from harm.
I went through Navy boot camp in 2013 and our instructors slapped us around lol, so they'll still do it sometimes because they'll get away with it but they'll never choke you or anything like that
I was in boot camp in 1976 and the drill instructor did hit a recruit when I was there, times have changed.
1990 I saw a goof ball get choked by all DIs, never saw the recruit again.
He actually told the DIs ge had gotten on the wrong bus to the Navy...
😂
I need to watch this 😂😭
My favorite movie
Watch it on movies joy you can watch anything u want.
During the 1950's when my dad was being trained for Korea he took part in a "Blanket party"guy's hold the blanket tight on the side with you under it so you get no leverage and the guy they clobbered had his face covered tight so he couldn't see to fight back or who took part.
The one thing I always thought was crazy about this film is that it’s almost has a feel like it’s 2 different but related movies in one. The part you reviewed in boot camp then the second part after Joker gets to Vietnam. Good movie of course but very dark, but that war was super dark.
nah it wasnt dark it was disney world, you didnt hear them singing mickey mouse at the end?
Okay so boot camp: insanely easy even if you’re in no kind of shape going in. Now what you need to worry about is when you hit the fleet and or ITB. If you’re a f*ck up you will pay. Not necessarily with a sock party, but if your peers are worth a damn, they will peer correct you. Whatever way that takes form is up to them. Take it as you will
They hit all of us. I was in boot camp in 1979.
sheesh
"Your parents ever have any children that lived?" that is lowkey one of the funniest insults ever
They were hitting in 1966 and then when I came in, in the early 1980's we had Vietnam era Sgt's training us, so they still hit, even though it was frowned upon. No one told. I would assume after all these years it's not done anymore.
Facial Hair??? I thought you couldn’t??? Notification gang
And that hair looks longer than 2 inches. Anybody know what's going on with the weekly haircuts in boot camp?
I think he's on leave right now?
@@spencerervin6312 I think they got waivers due to CoVid. Still a Marine base without barbers is hard for me to imagine.
You’re allowed to have a small mustache, but he’s on leave that’s why he has the beard
You have to remember that today's Marine Corps is WAY different than that of the 60s.
ayy i been waitin on this, i go to meps friday!
Vietnam Era Vietnam Marines will tell you this more accurate than anyone post 1980 military will ever understand. We threw a "blanket party" for a "bully" in my platoon in the Army back in 1987 at Ft Jackson SC.
Great video ideas boss! Keep it up love the content! Thank you for your service.
The movie was a step in back in time. For my dad. And he cried when some of the guys died. Because he helped out the Marines. Because he was a med-vac for the Air Force. During 1968 and 1969. And they helped out everyone. And he saw the blunt end of war. And my brother and I planned to with him. In 1997 to go to Vietnam to heal. And visit Cambodia and Thailand. To Hellfire Pass to pay tribute to the guys in WW2. Then we go Belgium and Normandy too. To Flanders Field and to Omaha Beach. But sadly he passed away.
We had a bed wetter who was trying to get out of the USMC. He came to our platoon after 6 weeks and he kept pissing in his rack ( bed ) they would let him stand there while we got thrashed. So our DI's told us it was up to us to square him away. So after 3 morning of them thrashing us we had a blanket party that night. And he never pissed his rack again and he graduated with us. Thrashing is 30 minutes of excessive physical training they give you 5 minutes to recover and then they start in again. It can change you and force you to do things you never thought possible.
Thanks for the feedback on this as it was good to hear first hand what goes on in boot camp. If you ever get time, pickup a book by R Lee Ermey called Gunny’s Rules. It is a great read and gives you some history on the movie and his life in the military!
Yeah he's a pretty cool guy
I was in boot camp at.mcrd in calif in 1956 and i think Lee Emery.was a DI their in 1957..and Boot Camp was hell.
it's @imdxvxd from ig and noti gang ❤❤
Anybody catch the fact that R Lee Ermey is the only DI in the Squad Bay? A platoon would have at the very least 3.
During the Virgin Mary Scene you can see two other Drill Instructors in the background but they dont say anything
@@rusty7984 I didn't catch that but come on a DI that's not yelling isn't really a DI is he? Those two guys are probably just extras they stuffed into the uniform. If they were real DIs I'd expect to hear at least some yelling in the background.
It would have been impossible to film and render "in a cinematographic way" with 2 other DIs around. Lee Ermey is so good, you don't want - as a movie director - to alter/interrupt his performance and effect on the spectator by adding other DIs around.. that's typically a situation in which Kubrick knew he had to lessen the realism and where cinema could/should handle the job (of story & emotion telling).
I went through Navy boot camp in 1976. After I got out, I met a guy who went through Marine boot camp in ‘73. He said the DI’s buttstroked more than once
Watching this while being a fat 😅 ... 250lbs 5’9 hopefully by beginning of next year I’m ready to join the marines, ready for this challenge 💪🏽
keep grinding bro 💪🏾 you’ll get there
Im 5'6 and 220lbs i started at 240lbs keep going
Bro am skinny but my push ups and run is good. So😀
I got out of the Corps the year before this movie came out. I have personally witnessed, on more than one occasion, the hitting of recruits. This may not happen now, but it certainly did then!
Apparently Vincent D’onofrio was asked to put on a lot of weight before turning up for filming, but still looked like he could tear anyone there apart so they sent him away to put on more. You can see it in him playing Kingpin, he’s really big, but you wouldn’t mess with him.
He still holds the record of most weight gain for a role which is I think 80 Pounds it was previously held by bob de Niro in raging bull which was 60 pounds
R. Lee Ermey was a real marine d.i. at one time so he brings in the realism. Not everyone is cut out to be a marine.
You really wanted to be there. I’ve never been so tired and hungry
The Blanket party scene really happened in Basic in the 70s during my basic training and it was the last resort and it did work
Trell, Basic Training of all 5 branches of the military was built to put you through high stress as your enemy would do the same. Each branch did it different but to the same goal, to turn boys and girls into men and women, either the easy way or hard way. I went through Air Force basic training at Lackland AFB, Texas from June of 1976 to August 1976. I went in thinking I knew it all, my wonderful Mom had already been working on me from birth, finally I met my Military Training Instructor whom was Mom many times over. They corrected my stupid attitude and made me into a man!! I got smacked upside the head a few times to get my attention. I can say now at 64 years old I am indebted still to the three men that served as my MTI's back in 1976. Full Metal Jacket is very real as far as basic training. I served peace time with SAC, B-52 bombers on 15 minute ground alert 24/7. We could not make mistakes or millions might die. Basic training prepared me for that, attention to detail, never question an order, and do the job right the First time!!!! I enjoyed your reaction to R. Lee Ermey, I personally love the movie!!!!
👍🏽
I hit Paris Island January 1970. I left the island in June. We were on legal hold for drill instructor abuse court-martial. I saw things like and much worse. They had knowledge of prior abuse and sent undercover Marines to get proof. Abuse is wrong but it was usually reserved for those that screwed up all the time. All that said I am still proud to be a Marine now and until I am no longer here.
Bruh why is people saying the MC is bad and they dont treat you right and there not re enlisting whats wrong with it ????????
It could be numerous things. It not only happens in the Marine Corps but also the other branches.
•toxic leadership
•ppl who do not work and still get paid for it
•ppl who got promotions when he/she nevere earned it in the first place while others worked their butts off and never got recognized for it.
I do not think he wants to mention it because he is still under contract. He might explain it when he gets out.
@@lyndonlonzanida mm yea i hear that and see it alot when a guy says he wanna joins
Keep up the great content!❤️
to this day 11:37 is still hard for me to watch ..
Lmaoo
It’s important to understand the movie takes place during Vietnam -these recruits were drafted, so they most likely did not have a lot of time to prepare for boot camp.
R Lee Ermey in an interview said how much pressure the DIs were under in 1966-7 because boot camp was reduced by a week.
@@patrickhows1482 At one point in the 60's I think it was cut even more to something like 8-10 weeks. Anybody know for sure?
Are you kidding me? This movie is the reason I Joined the Marine Corps in the first place!! They by far lived up to and exceeded any and all expectations I could of had of them! Your hair cut....don't like it....that facial stub....don't like it..... your mustache exceeds the corners of your mouth? And your tattoos were a NO GO! In my time! Anyway I'm OLD SCHOOL and I hope to God they are still! They were my favorite teachers In life! If you don't have or are lacking in life, its because you lacked initiative to get up and get it Yourself!
Air Force basic training made me a man, I went in because my Dad was a retired Air Force Master Sergeant. Too bad he never saw me going in, he died 5 years prior right after he retired. I met my goal of promoting to Staff Sergeant E-5, in part because my Dad was a Staff Sergeant when I was born. Proud to have put up with basic and serve my 6 year enlistment. They made man out of me with a few smacks upside the head!!!!
when he said "i bet you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose", i burst out laughing!
Imagine, even machines would have difficulty with that, I love hearing it!!
During Vietnam boot camp was reduced to 8 weeks. With a war going on. Many were drafted too.
They could hit you back then. Some of it needed to be done to shock you into the reality of the situation.
A lot of commenters miss this part and compare their boot camp experience to the 60s. They were a bit different…. Your feelings were not a consideration bank then
Trell could you do a in in depth guide about how to get physically prepared for Bootcamp? Thank you
My Marine Corps enlistment started at USMCRD San Diego in 1971. Let me assure you that this is the most accurate portrayal of my boot camp that I have ever seen. EVERYTHING is this boot camp scene I experienced. BTW, at the end of BC I was promoted to PFC and attached to the San Diego Receiving Barracks. I was made a "Troop Handler" and partnered with a Staff Sergeant and assigned a newly formed recruit platoon. Individually, we worked 24 hours on/ 24 hours off and "marched" the recruits to different locations for their processing time (usually 5-7 days). Big responsibility for a 19 year old who 13 weeks earlier was a civilian. Semper Fi.
Lmao the drill instructors will find ways on how you can technically haze yourself
We would love to see the o course video please. And thankyou for your service ❤️😀
“Get in shape beforehand.”
“They won’t let you in if you can’t do one pull-up.”
This movie is set during the Vietnam War. The last time the US had a draft. Private Lawrence (Pyle) was just a regular guy that got drafted in. He was not there by choice.
I was in boot camp in 2003. I was punched in the stomach and had my head slammed in a metal rack. They would curse you out and belittle you to oblivion. They were not allowed to assault you in that way. They did when I was in and when they could get away with it
I scored a perfect 300 pft when I left boot camp. I ran a perfect score in 29 Palms in the near 4000 ft desert..
Oh yeah - One guy did catch a Blanket Party - but worse - another guy wouldn't brush his teeth. Everyone already called him 'Green-Teeth'. So one day a bunch of guys decided to brush his teeth for him - and they used a brass brush.
The time period this movie was set in ( 60's) they could get away with crap like this. I knew a Marine DI. He took my cousin on Camp Lejeune with him for a show me trip. There was a new load of recruits getting off the bus. He walked up a kicked one of the newbies square in the stomach. Dropped liked a stone.
lol
Son this is the 80s and they were for sure putting hands on you lol.
You are in a Marine Corps that didn't exist even as far back as 1990. During Vietnam they definately hit recruits. This Modern day Marine Corps is like summer camp.
agreed. most of this wouldnt happen but like combat, weird shit happens in boot camp all the time.
Yes, back in the day you could be struck during instruction or for corrective purposes. They just got rid of it when I was in but they could 'touch' you which was often a sharp finger jab into your throat. What happens in the fort stays in the fort was the rule.
Facts
Sounds like you were Army. Marine bases are Camps. Not Forts.
What is the minimum amount of time for the plank in the pft
I was in Boot Camp back 1980 and we were getting hit by our Senior Drill Instructor, so they do hit you when they get the chance, Semper Fi
I would really like to see a video about the PFT. That's my only big obstacle for joining and I'm currently trying to get in shape.
Same here only obstacle I got is running not even cardio I can do 30 mins of jumping jacks, jump squats, etc its just running that kills me
Focus on passing the IST 1.5 mile run, pull ups, crunches. Once you pass that in your first week at MCRD and continue your training, your drill instructors will get you in shape to the point where you can easily pass the PFT
Paris Island 1980, it was just like FMJ. Except the Drill Instructors were not allowed to punch you, publicly....
Ermey portrayed it as it happened. I think you are talking about modern treatment vs 1960s treatment.
Even Pyle made it through bootcamp.
Hell yeah for the pt video
💪🏽
Drill sergeants were not allowed to hit trainees when I went through Army boot camp in 1966. They did have a blanket party for a guy who went AWOL, it was ugly and most didn't take part, the kid just couldn't hack it but they made an example out of him. As a young Army officer, I knew that the most important thing for any GI was to believe that somebody in the chain of command cared about them, and when I got to Vietnam the soldiers in my platoon were great because they knew I was a former EM and that I depended on them. Very good reaction, why don't you re-up?
I was a Hollywood recruit in '78. Still many DI's left over from the 'Nam. They were not suppose to hit you but...well...you know. Also recruits trying to kill themselves. Of course not by live fire since each and every round is accounted for but there were other ways. Drinking brasso was quite common then. They just picked those guys up and took them to sickbay and were never seen again. One guy did jump from a third tier squad bay but I remember seeing all the blood and thought "that was the end of him." Hearing R. Lee Erney speak is like hearing quotes from the bible. Our D.I.'s said some of the same exact lines. :O
At 3:45 the Recruit says he is from Texas but this movie is set at Parris Island!
Hollywood for ya
@@deez420nuts69 MCRD SD Hollywood Marines are the best. J/K March through swamps or up mountains, either way it can be hell.
What is the point? Generally, recruits at one time, west of Mississippi went to MCRD San Diego, east Parris Island, women Parris Island. You could request Parris Island. Ie grandfather, father, graduated from Parris Island. 1923 saw Sam Diego start to take most recruits west of Mississippi, with exception from some areas. WW2 SAW THE GREat increases in numbers that saw black recruit training, women and officers moved to another recruit training at a nearby base.
I don’t know what Marine Corps you were in, but in 1974 when I went through boot camp, they would knock the shit out you anytime they felt like it.
I tore a rotator cuff 7 months ago trying to do some at home calisthenics. I still can't do a single pull up.
What happened, what exercise were you doing?
There is another Marine boot camp movie called Tribes its 15 years older
Its different & enjoyable
Jan Michael Vincent
my friend said he got spartan kicked from his rack to the back wall when he was in boot now he’s a Lance
It does still happen. Just not as often as you’d think. One of the recruits in my platoon got spartan kicked in the chest because he kept messing up in drill.
I don't think anyone mentioned it...but in the Vietnam era, the Pentagon had a program called "Project 100,000" where they drafted or recruited men who were outside the normal range of IQ, or physical fitness or other factors to see if the services could make them into effective soldiers. Vincent D'onofrio's Private Pyle is almost certainly intended by Kubrick to represent that history.
Im thinking about joining the marines as well. Back in the 1960s boot camp the drill instructors did hit the recruits but i doubt they really do that anymore but a phenomenal movie for the time of what its set in.
Yeah one of my favorites but yeah they definitely don't do any of that now
@@TrelltheGreat definitely enjoy your videos like i said i have really thought about joining either airborne or marines and i been thinking about it for a while now
Yes I fully agree on Pyle's yelling and loading weapon could not happen. Where did he get live ammunition from, hide it in his clothing?
Swiped them while platoon was at the rifle range would be likely where
In the army, I was at ft Benning in 2004, and we had people mouth off a lot. Didn't happen after the first 2. Always a few people who don't want to be there.
That beating up in the middle of the night might not happen, but that don't mean if all platoon is suffering because of one moron that they won't take revenge at some point, most commonly happens in shower...I've seen people with bruises, he said he got beat up but the rest said he slipped...
💯
"This Movie is Unrealistic ... the Drill Instructor's Portrayed is of a Very SICK Man ! (Even, by 60's Era, on) .... There's 3 Sergeants, Anyway ... But, he would be Deemed Unfit as an Instructor and ... Relieved of his Training Position !"
Of course you have to keep in mind this depicts the US Marine Corps. of 1967 and not today (although some of the extreme things seen in the movie was still happening in 1986 when this movie was made), so the sock beating of Pvt. "Pyle" was believable to me given what I have been told by Marines who served back then (I never served).
If a DI did hit a soldier what would actually happen. Would charges of assault be applied against the DI?
It may not seem real today, but back in the Vietnam era of this film, boot camp was far worse than this movie. Yeah, they hit you and more. The irony of this is Vietnam veteran Marines will watch this movie and laugh their asses off, because we know how real it really is....
He did not choke Pyle, he leaned and choked himself
Great video dude. During those Nam times a lot of those guys were draftees and not volunteers like today’s military so I’m sure there was a lot of Piles in Boot Camp
Teach us how to do the pull ups and all the planks etc for the marine corps!!!
I never would've made it. I'd have been laughing so much they'd have kicked me out.
lol
I used to laugh all the time which ended up in me constantly getting to the sandbox lol
14:50 damn. I feel like joining the marines is a lot like prison, not to disagree with you saying there's no more hazing. But you saying thats a marine way to go, I feel, is true af. Respect
💪
"One, they won't even let you go to boot camp if you can't do one pullup"
You've never heard of being drafted?
When my dad was at bootcamp he witnessed a blanket party because someone messed up and everyone else had to pay for it. But that was in the 80s
I'm guessing people _would_ speak out in boot camp back in the 1960s. You didn't exactly get volunteers - it was a draft - you'll get all kinds of people - many of whom didn't want to be there. It was an entirely different type of people.
01:56: "Sir, I said it, sir." That should have been "Sir, *the recruit has* said it, sir."
Question: can they check your parking tickets or speeding tickets when you go through the moment of truth?
No.
