Haha. Nice. I was taught it was Muscles Ate Required Intelligence Not Essential. Just don’t tell a Marine that to his face because he will get bent out of shape for not getting the joke! Semper Fi!
That first night of sleep in receiving...we have been up for 48 hours by then. Love the comments lol. We are all marines and I really don’t think boot has change significantly over the years. It was a shitty but once in a life time experience regardless of years and that’s what bonds us and makes up our culture.
Frank. USMC 1964 -- 68. Well you should have been at Parris Island from April to June 64. Now that was the real one. What year did you go through Boot Camp?
David Frehlini 2005-2011. I remember from the time I was dropped off at meps in Houston to sleeping that night was like 2 or even 3 days. I remember falling sleeping while doing paper work at medical haha. Thanks for your service. You guys paved the way for us young bloods. Went back and looked at the calendar...my recruiter took me to down town Houston meps on Monday may 23 at like 4 am. We did 100mph down 59 lol. Then flew to San Diego that night. Got to mcrd in the middle of the night and didn’t sleep till Wednesday night. Welcome to the corps haha
These NCOs have the direst job in the military, I'm a retired Army Sergeant Major, they make my job easy, I thank these instructors for the job they do regardless of service they do.
My dad was a Marine, I'm 17 he died when I was 12 he never really talked about it but I know he was scared. Volunteering to be placed on the front lines takes heart, but it takes a special kind of man to do it and give his life for the sake of a fellow Marine. I hated him for doing it but after a while, looking back I now want to go and serve the country for my dad and for closure. If I die I know I'll see him again. But if I live for him I know he'll look out for me with great pride from heaven.
What a magnanimous & very special tribute to your dear late father, Joseph. We both know that you are a son which he would've ALWAYS been most proud of , to carry on his name. God bless you for what your heart has directed you to do!
Served 1994-1998. MCRD San Diego. Open Contract, I just wanted to go ASAP. My recruiter didn't lie to me about Open Contract. He said "The only thing I can promise you is the proud title United States Marine upon completion of boot camp" The USMC made me a 5811/MP. Went to Okinawa then Camp Lejeune, NC. Good times :)
Minute 7:15 SSGT Barrell, the most vusious and hated drill instructor in all of Golf company, he was my main DI, I dreaded hearing his scream in the morning
@7:15 that DI looks fat to me. the Corps certainly isn't what it was in 1994 when I was there on Parris Island, everybody was lean, mean and rock hard. Sad to see current day drill instructors with a spare tire or muffin top ,,,,what did they do lower the standards all around??
One of the first things a new recruit will learn is five of the 146 articles of the UCMJ. They include things like obeying all lawful orders and the general article 134 that pretty much covers anything you do wrong. The Corps felt it was important that civilians learn immediately what you can and will be punished for doing or not doing even before processing at receiving barracks. Seemed fair to me.
Not going to lie physical part is actually the easiest part through Boot camp at least when I went through it. Mentally is where the fun truly is hehe.
Man I didn't know what I was getting into. I thought Receiving was how it was going to be, like "Oh one drill instructor, this ain't that bad". Then Friday came. Holy hell.
When I went through boot camp we didn’t blouse our boots until the final two weeks and our graduation uniform was summer dress, no blues. We also had the best damn rifle I ever handled the M-14.
I went through in 2016, we got to blouse our boots after the gas chamber (start of phase 2) but someone in my platoon pointed his rifle into another recruits back to measure the 40" back to chest in formation and we lost that privilege from week 5 until final drill. After final drill we then unbloused our boots and couldn't blouse them until we became marines. P.S (The M16A4 is better than the m14)
Bryan Allen did you ever use the M14 we didn't need any woosie scopes, we used windage and elevation and the weapon didn't feel like something made by Mattel. Full metal jacket.
As a recruit everything seemed so simple and chaotic. As a grunt everything just hurts all the time and idk why im doing anything ever 😂 but god damn I love it
That's great. Do something with your brain. Take care of your body and hopefully you can make a while career out of it if you want it. As much as I loved the Marine Corps Infantry, if I did it again I would have picked some kind of technology based job like you. My body was completely wrecked and I got medially retired shortly after my first re enlistment. Best of luck! Marine Corps still is an incredible organization and I hope you enjoy it.
Honestly good luck my dude. The first few weeks of boot camp were the hardest on me. Missing my family and getting told the world just shut down and went to shit by chaps. You just gotta keep pushing through even when you think there's no end and you just can't do it. Just keep going forward. Boot camp will soon will become for you and like me you'll hate for liking it so much. It's honestly worth it all in the end on top of the reaper. Trust me you'll understand once you get to the top. I started off as a great recruit but turned out as a shit recruit but one hell of a hell of a Marine. If I can do it so can you

Interesting. Those red bins at the :50 second mark have been in use for over a half century. Back then there were highly polished metal trashcans with lids at each end of each row. The initial welcome was by Marines dressed in Blue Dress "C" assisted by junior enlisted Marines dressed in the uniform of the day who were permanent staff in receiving barracks. The Marines in blues were all DIs selected for duty in receiving barracks. Contraband was thrown in the cans which included condoms, porn, alcohol (drinking kind) hair care products and shaving items. Amazing what all a recruit will bring with them. One recruit had a button attached to a small bow. He stated his girlfriend had cut it off of her bra and snuck it into his pocket to remind him of her. You would be surprised how much humor a dozen Marines can get out of a button and bow.
@@djaztec97 I do know they're on camera , i served in the 90's and the DI's said how lucky we were they couldn't smack us anymore ! And if a recruit feels abused they can request to speak to the C.O. , i saw it happen and his Platoon was named the snitch Platoon . There were no Women DI's either .
The marching is totally different from the way we did it in 75. We slammed our heels into the grinder and if the pavement didn't shake and it didn't sound like one pop, to the mf pit or Happy Valley we went....one and all. Never heard of a quarter deck in boot...

Marines: LETS GO. YOU WILL SAY AYE AYE SIR FROM NOW ON! DO YOU UNDERSTAND! Army that doesn't allow the fucking shark attacks anymore: Alright, you will say yes drill sergeant, no drill sergeant! But we won't get in your face cause we don't want to have S.H.A.R.P against us. We won't be doing the shark attack instead we are doing the first 100 yards.
@Pauly GambinoI also went through Army boot camp before i went to Marine boot camp , huge difference and much longer ! Training with them is not boot camp ! Marines train with all the branches . The Marine basic training is the toughest of the regular military , that's why if you are from another branch and want to transfer to the Corps you have to go to basic !
I mean he's not wrong you guys got a 4th phase learning how to act as a Marine or something right bunch of Maruits I tell you haha. Don't worry man most Marines get in this phase hey 10 years from now if it gets even softer then you will be like op.
