What is one thing you could make different today that would be a game changer for you? Change is inevitable. Make sure to use it to your advantage.
I respect Drill Instructors like you! You break the bad and fix the good.
Your channel has motivated me for a long time now to change. 10 months sober, marriage on the mends, and Down 20 lbs.As an officer in the fire department I’ve always lacked tact. Over the last 5 years I wish I would have known about being tactful ( lol )
All the best Mike. Keep moving in the direction you're going and never give up!
SSGT NICHOLS Thank You Sir
Very motivating. Keep the young Marines encouraged, they need it. Thanks from an old Marine Sgt, 1973-1977. Semper Fi....OUT
OOH RAH! And Thank You. Semper Fi.
Several yrs ago, I almost asked my drill instructor how he'd feel & what he'd feel, if anything, knowing one of his once recruits took their own life...he was the only person to ask how I was. I'm very thankful for this man's keen senses something wasn't right. Life is far better now. Progression is very possible. Want it. May our lord's face shine upon your sir.
All the best to you. Remember the light is there even in the dark times. May life keep getting better and better for you.
Going into Air Force Tacp. Swore in May 20th. Been watching your videos to get me pumped for The Marines in back 2011. Something about you got me fired up. Well I didn't graduate and got a GED and couldn't obtain a waiver. Well all these years later I'm watching your channel still at age 29 about to go through the BMT. I'm in the spec ops development group at USF. It's very awesome you use proverbs and quote the Bible. I'm pastors kid. Long story but man thank you very much. I wish I could share my story and hear more of yours.
In Boot Camp, we told all the recruits "Never Quit and Never Give Up!" You never gave up, and now years later, the adventure starts for you. Congratulations and a BIG OOH RAH! to you for Basic Military Training. Give it your all and NEVER QUIT AND NEVER GIVE UP! The best to you with your military career!
@@SSGTNICHOLS Hooyah SSGT!
I know I'm not a Marine, I'm a Soldier, but I love the videos, they are very motivating and full of knowledge. I think every branch should hear your message. Much Respect and thank you for sharing 🙏
Please keep making these videos. They motivate the &$@! Out of me!!! S/F Capt S. Mustang Parris Island 1996
Semper Fi Sir and Thank You.
Thank you Ssgt.
You helped provide me with a motivating fresh start to the new year and saved me from a dark place I was entering in life.
God bless and Semper Fi

Semper Fi Cpl. Contreras. All the best with your new start. Remember whenever in a dark place, there is light somewhere. OOH RAH!
Thanks SSGT for continuing the motivation. You've been with me since platoon 1046
OOH RAH! And Thank You.
Ive been going through a rough time lately, very inspirational video. Thank you sir. God bless you.
Dennis - All the best to you. God Bless.
@@SSGTNICHOLS Did you stay in the Marine Corps a full 20 years?
@@SuperColonel91 12 years in the Marine Corps. Iraq was my final deployment in 2006. Left active duty in 2007.
@@SSGTNICHOLS how come not 20 years?
@@SuperColonel91 - The time was right in 2007 and I was looking to serve in other ways, such as helping veterans through the VA.
Your videos are really helping me. I’ve been bogged down by setbacks these past few years and am trying to pull myself back up.
Sir Thank you sir! Been doing a lot of self evaluation lately. Thinking about where I started, come from, I presently am and what I want to accomplish. Currently in a much better place than I was, but not where I want to be. I call that growth with room to grow. Still not sure how to accomplish what I want, but working/listening with a purpose will get me there no matter the task. You just reinforced that. Thank you!
OOH RAH Eric! It's a journey. Keep growing!
Got the entire series on DVD brother. Loved seeing Sandercock in it as he and I went through as recruits together in 93 and we grew up roughly half an hr apart up in Oregon! Semper Fi
OOH RAH! Semper Fi John!
Just getting into your channel, and going to watch Black Friday Darkdawn. I'm retired Air Force, and you have so much good stuff for motivation etc. Although we can't effectively compare our Basic Training to USMC Basic Training, I do remember my Drill Instructor, and he was a real motivator, and cause for change in my life.
Rah Ssgt!!
OOH RAH!
It's funny. Im about to get out (20yrs) and am thankful for the MC but am very ready to 'freestyle' a bit. I wasn't quite 'cookie-cutter' enough for some trash, vindictive, scheming, insecure, spazztic leaders--but even they had value and showed me how NOT to be. The good ones I can't thank enough--they truly led by example and did what needed to be done when bright lights were off and their RS wasn't looking.
Good stuff SSgt Nichols (Once... always...) It's never bad to hear someone else's positive take. When we... You, me, whomever... think we freakin' nailed it, spiked the ball in the endzone... stand by. Life will "okey doke" ya.

When I was still in senior high back in 1989 I did my DEP and MEP but I was devastated when I found out that I couldn't get in the Marines or Navy because I had a bad back from an accident 10 or 11 years prior but, I stayed true to myself and never hung out with the wrong crowd, never did drugs, no drinking and no tobacco products, never went to college and never intended to so I got a job right out of high school and kept working, my parents were always supportive of my life decisions and they guided me to be self sufficient and survive on my own, all along the way of my life I stayed true to my self and never even though about venturing off path, here I am at 52 years old and I am living life to it's fullest, I look back and say to myself, I'm glad I never took the wrong path and never hung out with the wrong crowd.
I went to the doctor today haven't 🐝 been in a year sir u know I have diabetes ,n this program boot camp has helped me a lot ,n w your oversight I made it n passed boot camp.
That OOORAH at the end was motivating as hell, I've been out of the Marines for 3 years it really good to get some life advice from a SNCO again
I'm scared about the future of this world we live in. I need to get stronger mentallu, physically and spiritually. I have a plan but I need to start, that's the only thing holding me back.

For 11 years now, every time I think of the Marines, you're always the number one man that pops up in my head, lol. I remember coming across your videos for the first time and the way you disciplined the recruits; it really gave me an admiration of how a Marine is made physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Whether it's PT, marching, handling rifles etc, I love the intensity precision! It still inspires me until today and If I had the chance to go back 11 years, I would become a Marine. Thankyou, Ssgt, for contributing to a soldier's life and your service to this Great Country! I hope I get to meet you one day! Oh yeah, great vid!
This is freakin awesome!
OOH RAH Luke!
You have always been able to inspire me ,I need you now,I am listening sir.

God bless sir 🙏
So glad i found this channel!
Serious question, how long after a cycle does it take for your voice to heal? And how long does a Marine stay a Drill Instructor is it the same as the Army of 3 years?
It depends on each Drill Instructor and how much damage their vocal chords sustained. I know some DI's who never recovered their voice fully.
I served for three years as a DI, so it might be the same as the Army.
Great video , I would like to see a video on overcoming fear as well as dealing with loss .
Thank you. I watch your videos a lot. Could you talk about how to overcome the physical sensations of fear. A lot of times I know I need to push through and face an obstacle but I freeze up when the sense of dread in my stomach becomes too much and I feel like I’m going to pass out
Aye,aye,sir
Started getting bk into training w 20 on knees pushups
My ex Husband Ted Robinson, JR., father to my only living child, Alicia Nicole Robinson, is dying from Parkinson's disease. He wouldn't get back together with me, though I've prayed about it. He stated to me that he's not right for anyone. Sad.... My Dad Richard Ribble,77 is also dying. Some situations are just out of our hands. I'd love to finally get remarried to a Christian man this time. I'd love to have more children, before I get much older. I'm 45 now. I've been praying about all of these things, ect. For years now. I'm an imperfect Christian. I don't believe in a reason for everything. I often feel as it I can never do enough. My daughter Alicia Nicole Robinson is now 18 and a Christian. I really do wish that I could start my whole entire life all over again. Just have ended up with better real Christian parents. Just to not make my horrid mistakes that I can't take back. My daughter Alicia and I are so incredibly blessed by God/the Holy Trinity.
Also, Michael Nichols what's your opinion regarding our USA Military changing the way it trains our USA Soldiers? (2023) I think it's a good thing.
SSGT Nichols, are you from Louisiana? I often hear a little Cajun in your words.
