Former drill instructors explain what it is like to return to the fleet

- When Marines leave the fleet to become drill instructors, they know that their world is about to turn upside down. After years of training future devil dogs, what’s it like to return to the fleet? Lance Cpl Justin Glandon-Hall reports.
When I was 54 years old I found my Senior Drill Instructor using an online people finder. We talked on the phone for over an hour. He was 73 years old and said I was the only one of his recruits who contacted him. He was tickled to hear me thank him for turning a 17 year old kid into a Marine. I send him a Christmas card every year. I was in Platoon 376 at Parris Island starting in August 1964. I lost track of all my Marine buddies except one who now lives in Salt Lake City. Vietnam era vets are dying now at an incredible rate.
Thank you for your service Sir.
Thank you for your service, Semper Fi
Jake Juarez you really asking that?
I still wonder about my DI's to this day.
c
You can hear the permanent vocal cord damage.
Damage? It is changing your voice to sound like all Marine DI's. I still can count cadence after 39 years since being on the field. It is the proud heritage of having been a Marine DI, a very difficult club to join, and only the very few can ever say that they served as a Marine DI.
Phil Sutherland AI sir!
Phil Sutherland well, thats you bud but almost all the marine corp thinks DIs are jokes. Just a bunch of asshats with rank. And when they get back to the fleet and take charge of a company in a new MOS just makes it worse for everybody. Of course not all of them are like that but the few of them that are ruin it for everybody
@@licktin1091 you were kicked out for article 91 weren't you?
Yelling at the top of your lungs pretty much all day everyday definitely gonna pack some damage over time. The lead singer from Cannibal Corpse comes to mind. He has lost over half the strength maybe a little more of his original voice from the screaming
“I was jumpin in there an gettin sum” - Black marine DI with massive biceps.
Hahaha!
And he's POG AF
@@matth3708 and you've never seen combat anyway you might as well be a pog too
@@QuisUtDeus828 2 combat deployments to Helmand Province with 1/6. The first in Garmsir and the second for the invasion of Marjah. Quiet little boy.
@@matth3708man who cares if someone is POG or not though. Coming from a grunt, some people just want to discipline their mind and do something tough… any marine has gone through some form of tough shit in one way or another bro.
holy shit. that sgt with 20 ribbons made everyone in parris island look boot
Sgt Blair. Loved that guy
It's called actually doing something in the Corps I had 15 ribbons as a Sgt.
@SMOKEY really?
@@thewatcher4552 boot
🤣🤣🤣 I just commented in that. That sgt did everything
After I got back from overseas I ran into one of my old DIs walking down Basilone Rd. at Camp Pendleton. We went to the mess hall together and had a fantastic one hour chat about the Corps, life and everything else. Turns out, he was a pretty nice guy.
He was just walking down Basilone road? Lol
@@iSaiyanPrince thats random ASF. Probably near the Area 22 or 24 Chow Hall.
If course they are, DI's are dicks, they have a job and that job is to make a US MARINE so this amazing nation can stay free
Drill Instructor SSGT PAYNE, made me stay twice as long in the gas chamber, 15 years later, that training SAVED my life!! The Private thanks you sir!!!
What happened if you dont mind me asking?
@@TehAutumnCore someone farted really bad and shit themselves in a broken elevator.
@@TehAutumnCore that's Marine speak for they were at Victoria's secret trying on dresses 👗
I remember a prior DI that came back out to the fleet and was trying to be all hard. He didn't get very far with others.
CMC should send DIs leaving the drill field to a reserve unit for a few months and then back to the fleet
@@averagecitizen8491 haha straighten out those sloppy reservists!
I remmeber something similar with one of my former Instructors. He came to the unit we went to after his course and started yelling. He didn't last long.
Almost 50 years ago I was lucky enough to make it through boot camp. I’ll never regret it.
I will never forget my drill instructors! It’s been over thirty years, and I can still see their faces, like it was yesterday.
Semper FI🇺🇸
One of my closest friends is a former Marine DI. Funny thing is if you just met her you would never guess this 6'+ black woman who is the sweetest most loving Christian woman you could ever know, sings like an angel, was a Marine DI.
They are people just like you and me they just have switch that they turn on or off
My Brother was a DI at Parris Island after coming back from Viet Nam. I was the smart one and went into the Army (11B). He retired as a Master Gunny and I retired as a CWO. Good times.
Ah yes I remember my 12th general order, the Chief is always right
Went through OCS a few years ago, I never truly understood fear until I experienced 10 weeks with my Plt Sgt and the other two Sgt Instructors in a hot Virginia swamp. After I commissioned, I went back home to complete law school while my Plt Sgt stayed at OCS to train new Candidates for another 9 cycles. Then, he decided to go ECP, became a Candidate, and commissioned as a 2ndLt. Now, he and I will be going to TBS soon in the same company.
Holy shit that’s crazy. Rah sir (gentleman) to both of you!
Be happy it was OCS and not Boot Camp. I’ve seen the training that goes on there, and it isn’t as bad, and don’t tell me about all the papers and runs you did 😂😂😂
@@EktaHomie This isn't a dick measuring contest
It was Marine OCS or Navy OCS? I heard that in Marine Ocs its different
Had a DI return to the feet as my Plt Sgt. All she did was make life a living hell for us in the Plt. We got yelled at and did drill more than learning our actual MOS in depth. Then ironically we'd get yelled at more for not "knowing" our job... She didn't get far with anyone, no respect, everyone hated her. I left to a different plt thankfully, life was a breeze after that.
One of my DI's told me he was going to kick my ass if he ever saw me in the fleet. I had it coming I really pissed him off a few times we never ran into each other in the fleet which I do regret because I would have really liked to see how that would have played out...oh well such is life.
Forty1Second Why does everybody think a drill instructor can kick anybody’s ass? Yess they are mean and they are marines but it’s not like they are professional fighters lol
godflame52 lol their sub-professional fighters with knowledge in different fighting arts and techniques
@@godflame52 They're professional fighters. To be a drill instructor, you are required to have returned from a deployment or some sort of tour of duty. Combat experience is what they want the instructor to pass on.
@@Sara-L a blue belt in bjj could take them all on easily.
@@Sara-L they're not like that anymore. My senior drill instructor had 5 ribbons. No Combat action Ribbon or Afghan campaign Robin
I HATED working with or for former DI's they always had that training mindset. The fleet and deployments are different from recruit training.
MrCharles26 yup, mentioned to a guy above that almost the whole marine corp now hates DIs and should stay in the drill field. Gunny fuckface comes out of drill field and takes over a new company in a different MOS just spells disaster
@@licktin1091 the funny thing its when they return to the fleet you realize how useless some of them really are.
fleet requires leadership though
They sent me to go help with drill for upcoming change of command right after I got back from Parris Island. Had three youn Marines in the platoon just staring at me before I figured out who they were. Had another one at a squadron function the guy was utterly speechless.turns out he was one of my recruits when I was a brand new hat. This Marine was a Gunny. Man I felt old then haha.
I was on the field from 1973 to 1976. After returning to the fleet, every SgtMaj put me in charge of every parade/COC while assigned to them. Did that through my career and even set up my own retirement ceremony in 1998. This is not a complaint. I enjoyed doing it.
Hi! PI or MCRD San Diego? I was on the field from 1974 to 1977 at San Diego. If you were San Diego, what Bn? I was in Kilo Company, 3RTBN.
0:50 the salt my eyes burn
Bullshit will tend to burn one's eyes. Nothing but STOLEN VALOR on that loser ass poser's chest. Thank goodness the Marine Corps finally took care of him and made sure he no longer has the title "Marine". He has the title "Felony Charges".
@@bobalobalie who?
@@0v3rgr0wn The former E5 SGT, former D.I., and former Marine with that stack of BS ribbons and medals on his chest. That loser got access to the password to update personnel records and decided to give himself a bunch of medals, ribbons, awards, and decorations he did not earn. He was caught because of this video and was dishonorably discharged through court martial. 0:50 in the video is the Phony Valor D.I.
@@bobalobalie Holly cow..........
@@bobalobalie i dont believe you.. you dont even know his name, and a warrant officer has to approve those types of personnel updates to the system
My DI lives in my mind every day, a good man, and an outstanding Marine. Semper Fi Ssgt Evans.
When did you go to bootcamp? I had a SSgt Evans as one of my DI's at P.I. in 2006. Wondering if it might be the same Ssgt Evans.
0:58 Those arms.
Abhishek Rao hes my current company Gysgt's
Hes a 1st SGT now
There is a transition from dealing with recruits to dealing with Marines. Most who return from the drill field to the fleet that I personally saw lost the training mindset pretty quick...often by being talked to by a senior NCO about it. Some sadly never left the drill field and were hated. Most "acclimatized" to the fleet and were often the "go-to-guys" for career minded Marines BEFORE they met with the career jammer...errr "planner".
That's true. I was in 3/2 and I remember a CO Gunny who used to walk around and just yell at Marines. People joked he should be wearing "Charlie's". We were getting ready for a field op and he started chewing out a SSGT right in front of everyone.
@@buckwheatsghettoghost4927 The company First Sergeant should've had a chat with him about doing that.
Holy hell who is that Sgt at the :50 second mark with 20 damn ribbons?!?!?! I've never seen a Sgt with that many in all my years in!!
email me at nicholas.brown2@usmc.mil
Yeah I am asking myself the same thing. He's got one hell of a rack.
It seems that Marine was kicked out for wearing awards he didn't rate...
What is his name?
Several devices as well.
00:50, The darkest pillar of salt you will ever see.
It's Me 4
Darkest pillar of BULLSHIT!!!!!!!! Nothing but STOLEN VALOR on that civilians chest.
BewareTheIdes please tell me you're kidding. You think someone stealing valor would be wearing a smokey bear next to another drill instructor? Shut your mouth loser
+Sean Lee I am VERY VERY SERIOUS and you're clearly not very intelligent. Not only did AFN Iwakuni confirm through a comment on here that the DI SGT was wearing medals and ribbons he did not rate. I know for a FACT that he was investigated, courtmartialed, demoted to E-1, and discharged with a BCD.
*Click this link to the video **ua-cam.com/video/_dMksjKmJYA/v-deo.html** then scroll down to the first comment by "Just a Slow Truck" expand the replies to that comment and read the first few replies by "AFN Iwakuni".*
P.S. Since you're what people politely call "special" I can guarantee you will struggle with those instructions or simply refuse to accept the facts.
@@bobalobalie Well damn, thats fucking crazy who would've thought a Drill Instructor could be such a Dirt Bag lol. Notice how he never replied back lol
This cat straight up said he was in the fleet and was over there “...gettin’ him some...” lol 😂 Spoken like a true Marine DI.
Had a SSgt that was a former DI but he was super chill. And worked with a GySgt who seemed like he just never left the drill field.
I have so much respect for these men and woman. Thank you for your service.
I ran in to one of my DI's at Camp LeJeune and it was a shocker at first but he turned out to be very cool and we shared both sides of my Recruit training. Pretty interesting to hear him speak so highly of most of us. He did recognize a few screw up's with in our Platoon and I just laughed and said I know who he was referring to because we all had to "PT" many times because of them...lol
its obvious that sgt at 0:50 is prior service army or air force, or demoted, but whatever his history is, its incredible
You can see a purple heart with a cluster.
@Jerry That's what I thought at first bro because of the lighting but it looks more like a COMM with a gold star. Cluster isn't that big.
HIS HISTORY IS NOTHING BUT BULLSHIT!!!!!!!! *HE WAS KICKED OUT OF THE MARINE CORPS!!!! PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THOSE AWARDS ARE AWARDS HE DID NOT RATE!!!!!!!!* Why it wasn't discovered earlier is beyond me. It's BEYOND obvious! That civilian is nothing more than an IDIOTIC Stolen Valor loser who now has a felony record! He doesn't even have nor deserve the title of Marine anymore. Call him Recruit Poser. Or as he calls himself, Special Forces Recruit SGTMaj Gunny Captain Private Commander Lieutenant Specialist Admiral MasterSgt SEAL General Delta Force MARSOC Poser.
And? I rarely see anyone with a purple heart with a cluster on it. They are as rare as the chief warrant officer 5 in the Army, or you can call them unicorn.
Ryan Nguyen my uncles a cw5
prior DIs are always the most chill when they get back to the fleet, always the coolest SNCOs

One of my Drill Instructors told me you will never make in the FMF and didn't shake my hand at graduation he was one mean SOB.
Uh I don't know what former DI's you served with but the ones I had to work for were dicks!
Yea um...... No❤️
@@stevecaranci2463 One of mine told me he never wanted to see my face again and told me to get the ef away from him on graduation day.

A stack of BULLSHIT!!!!! Nothing but STOLEN VALOR all over that poser's chest!!!!!
@@bobalobalie give link and not to this video like you did in other comments
He probably seen some shit before turning to a DI. Usually, pogs DI that I've seen so far in my life have at most between 3-8 ribbons. Those with combat mos have a huge stack. Shit, after my first deployment, I should have at least 7 ribbons
Edit
(If everything goes to shit, at least 7 ribbons. Should've clarified that one lol)
Spartan 9013 Don’t think with an “if” mentality. Always be completely sure of yourself.
Legs tend to embellish themselves at the PX
Thanks for this video; my son is in week 3 @ San Diego and the tone of this presentation warmed my heart.
I ran into my SDI at CLNC when we were headed out for a CAX. We had a beer together and it was awesome. I went from combat to running a recruiting program and that transition to less discipline and structure was challenging. I would imagine the DI transition back to the FMF is similar. Respect to all who do it succesfully. We need the best for DI duty and we have to retain and retrain them as they represent our very best. S/F is a two-way street.
Correcting a marine for Diddy bopping😂
I respect every DI! 🙏
Google Ribbon Creek Incident from PI...crazy stuff.
I liked hearing of the benefit of a choice duty station. Cherry Point sounds like a winner.
She doesn't scare me
WORK ON IT!!!
-___-
Yeah, say that in the front leaning rest
Just seeing the thumbnail inspired me to get my shit together. God bless that particular Marine.
Its amazing to see how DIs have left so much of a positive impact on their trainees, goes to show most of them are tough on you because they have your best interests in their mind and they need to be strict so as to ensure that none of the men that they trained lose their life in the line of work.
And I guarantee you most of these DIs have been a better father figure to a recruit than their own biological one.
Going from the street to your MOS again is a very simple transition. Lots of hats needed that recognition. Keep abreast of the changes in your MOS and go back in with knowledge you need. You’re a Marine, adapt!
Yea they go back to the fleet and ruin platoons
Lewis Sullivan no joke 😂
Not all of them..... When I hit my first unit I was working in a shop next to CWO Rosenbum from the show boot camp...... Yeah, that was funny hearing that voice in my shop...... But hey, his Marines were locked on
Legs most often ruin everything
Watching this video two things stand out for me. First, one of the guys in my unit hated the Corps, was going to get out, yadayada. After returning from 'Nam I saw this dude again, now at DI, at CamPen, helping disembark new Marines out of MCRD, SD. I walked up to greet him but the dude shined me on. Second that same year, I ran across one my junior DIs now with 3/1 who was preparing to go to 'Nam. The dude acted like I was an alien from Mars, no hello, what year, etc.
my drill instructors will always have my respect.
the size of those arms! dang.
Platoon 384, MCRD San Diego 1957. THAT was the Boot Camp I remember. D.I. Staff Sgt. Showalter.
I can always tell a fellow Staff NCO was on The drill field. many of them become First Sergeants and Sergeants Majors.
man that female DI has a voice every single one of female DIs I've seen sound not threatening enough she sounds good
I never bothered any other Marines after I achieved some rank unless there was a need to be in contact. Always was reasonable in instructing other Marines what I expected of them.
I had a gunny who was never a DI but sure makes all these DIs look sweet xD
A Marine never forgets their drill instructors. I still remember mine to this day along with most of the chain of command (of the base anyways). When I was in what they now call the Senior Drill Instructor was called the Platoon Commander. When did they change that?
That changed while I was on the field. When I first arrived in 1974, they were known as Plt Commanders. Halfway through my tour, they changed the designation to Senior Drill Instructor. They felt that Plt Commander was a rank and officer held, and we did have a Series Commander. So, to get the recruits ready for the Fleet Marine Force, they needed to understand rank designation and that enlisted were not Plt Commanders.
As tough as Drill Instructors are on their recruits, they are even worse on themselves. It’s a necessary evil that makes the Marine Corps so effective, and it builds a lot of camaraderie,. It’s also very taxing on the individual DI, almost in a masochistic sort of way.
I was an FMF Corpsman stationed at Iwakuni over 10 years ago.
Over 35 years ago and I remember "Sweet Charlie Moore" or "Sweet C" and "Horrible Hall!" Sweet C told me that I would never forget his name.
Love to all of you Drill Instructors!!!! Civilians do not understand the long hours every day you men and women have to endure to turn civilian turds into basically trained members of both the non Academy officer corps and enlisted of the armed forces. I felt sorry for our instructors because we were one of those groups that were what they called late bloomers that could not come together as a team until the last weeks of boot camp. that means they had to work additional hours past the normal amount.
david broussard
I thought you couldn't polish a turd .maybe im wrong
that was their choice
"so I jumped in and I was getting some" -gunny
I’m a retired Sergeant First Class ( Army ) and I’m having a hard time dealing with the civilian world. ( The undisciplined youth is killing me inside )
i'm still serving and in my 20s, and i feel the stress from the undisciplined public
in mos school we had an instructor come straight from the DI field an man did that shit not change haha
4 years ago my rifle company received this SSgt who just came from MCRD. For a month he'd yell "Zero!" unknowingly when he's calling out a Marines in the middle of everyone.lol
Lmfao in the Infantry we had ourselves a DI come back to us, he fucking got right back into the grunt life. Tried a couple times to have us drill style march or do other boot shit. We just refused his order until one day it clicked that he’s back with his own kind again. Literally one field op and he curbed that shit.
Erik Richburg's one of the finest Marines I had the honor of serving with. Semper Fidelis and as always YAT-YAS!!! PALADIN SENDS
I knew a guy who had a prior Drill Instructor for a unit Gunny. Every other day was death PT. Friday PT was a trip to medical afterwards. And if it was before or after a 96, 2 of those days was for recovery.
Those are the types that everyone hates and would probably get fragged by his own men in combat. Had those types as well except the whole chain of command for the company were DIs.
He was compensating for being a leg and probably had homosexual tendencies and regrets of not joining the Air Force.
@@M60gunner1971 Lol this gave me a good laugh.
It still trips me out to see those digital pattern cammies...I'm from the woodland era lol
jhc1229 back when every branch wore the same cammmies. I actually did like that about then
jhc1229
Still have mine in my sea bag.
They’re talking about bringing back the black leather boots. I pray to god I EAS before that happens.
Thank you for your service
I knew a Marine Cpl (1967). who met his DI in Quantico, he would freak out each time he saw him! Still scared as hell of him... Semper fi NamVetRet.
Legs are always scared
Gunny Dower Not my DI But was the biggest baddest in th USMC was my MTC OKI 74 left a lasting impression, He was the Marines Marine ! RIP
One of my drill instructors was my platoon Sgt when I arrived to 1/6 after infantry school, I expected the worst but he was totally different in that roll.
There's a happy medium between the ways things roll at boot camp compared to how things are out in the fleet.
The best we ever were IMO is when we finished our MOS training. We were truly elite.
Some Marines lose that gung ho spirit. They let the others that have been around longer bring them down. I know I did. It took me 3 years to get that back. Our First Sergeant took me under his wing and told me he was going to make me into the best Marine in our battery. And he did. Meritorious promotion to Corporal. I owe that man big time. I always will.
Side note it's ridiculous they had us call drill instructors "sir". WTF. DI's are enlisted. They actually earn their paychecks. So I guess that's a tradition, but not a good one.
Lol, imagine a recruit complaining about calling his DI sir directly to said DI…
@@SplendidCoffee0 "Sir.... Um... Staff Sergeant. This recruit was thinking that the Drill Instructor shouldn't be called sir, because the drill instructor actually earns his paycheck, sir, um, Staff Sergeant." Ya that would get a recruit an ass whoopin' for sure. 🤣
Yeah that's some backwards Navy garbage there.
@@covingtoncreek cryptic incantations can only mean one thing, "LEGS!"
Drill Instructors need to go through some sort of mandatory MOS refresher course if and when they get back to the fleet. Just because you were a DI doesn't mean that you are cut out to lead platoons, companies, and battalions in the fleet. Either stay on the drill field, or prove you're competent in your MOS again and contribute something more to the unit than marching and uniform inspections. Fucking useless, they've been out of their MOS for THREE WHOLE YEARS.
Who hated woring for an SNCO straight off the drill field?! True story before I got out my last deployment to Afganistan we (All the other Sgt's) had a boot ass Gunny with no deployments treat everyone like recruits everybody hated him. Some guys just don't know how to turn off that switch. I didn't give a crap though and he knew it. I was on my way to 1st Civ Div hahaha
I like drill instructor lopez he looks like a chill guy
now tell the story about how difficult it is to go home and deal with your family as a drill sergeant.... one of the hardest things to do is learn how to turn it off
My younger cousin is a former drill instructor first for marine recruits in San Diego later as a drill instructor in the Washington DC area for officer candidate School.
I'm very proud of his accomplishments he is a Marine father Master Mason and good father
You can hear the DI in GySgt Richburg's (or however it was spelled because it isn't letting me rewind to see the spelling) voice.
Cameron Miles we hear it alot lol
He was my company 1stSgt in ITB
He was my Drill Instructor kept me on the quarter deck constantly
I just got off the island back in November (Platoon 3089, Lima Company), and watching this I’m thinking: “It’s so hard to believe that they’re so human!” 😂
We used to catch Marines wondering around the DZ looking for Paratrooper autographs...such tender little guys.
I miss Iwakuni. Loved the people of Japan.
I’ve never seen a sergeant that decorated in my entire life 0:50
We had a 1st Sgt show up from the drill field. He was yelling at us like we were recruits just after deployment. Saying that we still smelled like 3rd phase chow. Dude had never been in combat. He lasted less than a year before he retired. Never go full motard
look at my boy Richburg ...dont know what your up to now bruh..but big shout out from ya boy Payne..proud of you!..YAT-YAS!!!!
breckstreetkid106 he was there when I went to boot back in 2010. lol 1833 was my mos as well lol
Larry Thornton nice...hes a good dude...they used to tell us that we looked alike i left 2nd tracks in 05 then went to 10th marines...then recruiting duty..now im out and am a police officer
My Ssgt came straight from the drill field. Took him time to re-integrate. He was a good guy. I liked him. He'd say " I forgot where the F I was" and we would laugh.
Its what it takes to forge marines. Im grateful and have thrived cause of it.
Theres always that special place of fear forsure. To reference Dio.
You can feel his heart but you know hes mean . Some light can never be seen.
Semper fi.
It’s even worst when they come into a infantry unit and treat a company of marines like recruits after they just got back from Afghanistan and your new ex DI first sgt was a pog before he was even a DI
Most of us, whether we were maggots on Parris Island or San DIego, never stopped to think that those DI's who terrorized our lives for three months had once been maggots just like us, and they had been just as afraid of their DI's when their butts were getting chewed out. I know it never occured to me that DI's were trained. I thought they were born as Drill Instructors. SSgt. McKeon took Platoon 71 into RIbbon Creek one week after I arrived on Parris Island and I thought that is what would happen to any of us that screwed up.
I got chills.
I remember my D.I.s. They came in drunk at night just to slap us around and when we got partial pay to buy toiletries at the PX they stole money from each recruit. Hopefully all 3 are rotting in hell by now. The myth is definitely better than the reality.
"I jumped in there and I was gettin some." OUTFUCKINGSTANDING!!!
I could never take a female DI or DS serious. I'm a vet and while I was at basic we had a female DS come in (xrated with our DS) But she tried to yell at us and we all stood there like bitch fuck off. Airborne Infantry.
Jesus H. Christ Yeah I know. But they weren't while I was there. Thank god.
Dr. Theodo Slapdaho. Hooah!
Dr. Theodo Slapdaho. I was going to go Infantry OSUT but because of that reason I'm going Marines. I don't want to join a branch that's too damn worried about inclusiveness and equality. The Army is about engaging the enemy and destroying them. But new Army i guess. If it was the Army of the 1980s-90s i would so go that route. But as it stands now, they're breaking my heart too much.
bvailcards44 Hey man, you are choosing to serve. That's all that fucking matters.
Arctic Paratrooper!
Damn the sgt in the pic at 0:49 has a shit ton of ribbons
the woman marines looked cute in those outfits. reminded me of my sisters girl scout pictures.
0:58 That was our company 1stSgt at ITB
Fat fucking rip
Sgt. Sam, Sgt. Brady, Sgt. Hetzler...Echo 2004 Parris Island...Semper Fidelis!!!
We had a SSgt come to our shop from the Drill field and he lasted about 6 months and went back. Reason was we had a salty MSGT that rode him hard and he couldn't take the pressure.
Typical Leg decision, ate up like a soup sandwich 🥪
Oh Im definitely different! I love running into my teachers! If i make it through recruit training and ran into a former DI that transformed me into a Marine in the fleet i would definitely make it a point to talk to them... even my kill hat!
0:48 holy shit that is the most stacked sergeant I have ever seen.
Roids
“I DONT KNOW WHY YOURE NOT SMILING YET!”
ohhh shit Gysgt Stewart was my head DI in parris island 3078 what up. good guy.
At 0:48 that Sargent has alot of ribbons like 20 of them 😮. That's crazy
Gunny Richburg is still got the growl lol! Good times!
HOLY SHIT THAT SERGEANTS RACK THO
*YOU MUST MEAN THAT DISHONORABLY DISCHARGED CIVILIAN'S RACK!!!* *PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THOSE AWARDS ARE AWARDS HE DID NOT RATE!!!!!!!!* Why it wasn't discovered earlier is beyond me. It's obvious!
