@@mybatteryisalmostdeadYes. The last time USMC boot camp was really tough was the early 2000s. The runs were longer and the quarterdeck sessions were longer. There was a recruit that drowned in 2008 and it got a lot easier after that.
Same. I’ve been feeling down bc I’ve been struggling to get seen for a waiver but this shit gives me the motivation to keep pushing harder for it because I want to become a marine.
I have a stepson in Parris Island right now. He is in Mike Company 3065. Their crucible starts at 2am on 8-29-24. Graduation will be 9-13-24. I have so much respect and admiration for any man or woman who signs up voluntarily. If i am lucky enough to have any veterans read this comment, allow me to say THANK YOU! Even though I don't know you personally, i have so much love in my heart for you.
RAAAHH!!! Graduated last year december 1st am currently in the fleet! When i look back at these type of vids im feel so nostalgic and feel proud to be a US Marine OOHH RAAAHH!!!!🔥💪😤I wish ur stepson the best if he made it this far hes def gonna conquer the cruicible!
My grandfather went through something similar. When he went in at 15, it was in 1939 as a Reservist. His unit got called up to fight in the Pacific during WW2. He was in for 16 years. During that time, he was a drill instructor and taught H2H combat to other recruits. Leonard Lee Ellison 07/21/1924 - 11/08/2001 Semper Fi
Best thing any young man or women can do. You learn so many life lessons and it will help you be ahead of your peers when you decide to transition into a civilian. Semper Fi! Stay disciplined Devil Dogs
I ship out in a week and I'm excited, and scared but I'm aware that the road ahead is not all sunshine and rainbows, but I know it will be worth the Title in the end.( edit I remembered what I wrote here and how I would come back to it I'm a marine now)
@@possiblegames2953 Good luck to both of you. Recently graduated from Parris Island myself with Kilo Company 3rd Battalion. Don't take what they say personally, follow instructions, and you will be fine.
Good luck! Just remember it's only 3 months and each day has to end at some point. Embrace every moment because in the blink of an eye your contract will be over.
I was in United States Marine Corps Recruit Training in MCRD, San Diego, California 50 years ago. I'm now 67 years and 8-months old, and I'll be 67 years and 9 months old next week. Yet, I am actually stronger today than when I was an active-duty United States Marine Corps 0331 M-60 Machine Gunner. Biologically aging hasn't made me weaker, but stronger.
@@milesbridges1858Back in 1978 I was in ur position. Joining the Marines was the best thing I ever did! One hell of an experience. You won’t ever feel what you will feel at graduation again in life. Made awesome friends, traveled half the world. It helped in the civilian world when I got out. The confidence never leaves you. I joined the police force in my city and had a 33 year career in law enforcement. I’m now retired with a great pension and awesome memories. Don’t hesitate, join and help yourself while your buddies are stuck neutral. Good luck!
Shark, if you read this, learn how to be loud as fuck and learn to stretch your vocal chords till you can scream louder than you possibly can, because thats your new life in basic, every moment. develop that undertone bass asap so your throat doesnt bleed. bear growls.... "aauuuhhHHHHHHH"
@GickelsGaming hello I read your comment! I yell all the time and in a house that is constantly yelling. I think I'm good with yelling but I do understand everything is serious. I will definitely take it into consideration 👍
I still remember when the bus arrived at P.I. in 1981. A muscular DI stepped onto the doorway of the bus and yelled, "You've got about 30 seconds to get off my bus and get on the yellow footprints and 10 of them have already past." He was so imposing that few wanted to get close to him so somebody popped the emergency hatch at the back of the bus. One recruit was trying to climb out the side window. It was an array of total fear and confusion.
31:55 REALLY takes me back, I remember slogging through those 9 miles. Feet were on fire and I thought they would fall off, but once I formed up on that parade deck and that music started playing. Tears were rolling and I couldn't stop crying, I'll never forget that. Aug-Dec 2020 PLT 1090 SDI SGT ORR!
Just don't take anything personal from Drill instructors. Don't let them learn your name or else you will be a target, blend in. Shave your head bald before you go in, saves you you from getting an instant headachey haircut. Get plenty of sleep before you go in. They will make you stay awake for a full 24 hours in the booking process. Be cleaned shaved. Bring very very few personal belongings. Get in shape before you go, you still have time. And remember that your DIs are people to. They probably play play station or something when they allowed time off.
You are doing a good thing. It's going to be difficult at the beginning but it gets easier towards the end. Don't take the insults personal . good luck to you.God bless America
Lmaooo fucked yourself for nothing it’s not worth it being a Marine ain’t gonna get you laid,make you special when you live in a marine town, and you won’t feel like hot shit when you notice how stupid shit is in the fleet
@@Dhdjdjsjdjsjkthere's immature bullshit in every branch. I'm in the navy and still run into it damn near every day. And I've been out of bootcamp for a while.
Got to watch this years ago, first hand. Was a DoD civilian working at Parris Island. We were helping upgrade some computer systems and other minor things, when one of the sergeants (some kind of clerk I think) tasked with helping us, asked if we wanted to see something fun. His idea of fun was getting us down in our NWU's, watching as new boots arrived. All the while he kept a running commentary up about which of the boots he thought were going to make it, who was going to be trouble, and who got lost on the way to the Air Force. Those boots kept shooting glances at us. Four guys in navy camo, with tennis shoes on. I often wonder what the hell they thought of that.
Parris Island physically was very easy. I was the series high PT test recipient. Because I was an athlete, I lost some of my fitness and strength by the end of bootcamp. You train together so the pace and intensity is not the same as for an athlete. Mentally it isnt so easy. 24/7 being babysat, watched and the "games" (Rose Garden, Scuzzy 500 squad bay cleaning on your hands and knees, carrying the racks outside for cleaning) grinds on you mentally. I suspect the latest generation of recruits will suffer dearly from lack of internet access. I did not have that probem in the late 1980s.
@johnleclair663 MCRD San Diego, not an athlete. However, the physical part wasn't too bad. The quarterdecking and pit sessions because a recruit fell asleep in class wasn't fun. The worst part was the mental part and the chaos. I did kind of like the craziness at first. Until it got redundant really quick. This was last yr. It's still brutal and tough. Although it'll probably be the easiest or most fun of your usmc career
Yeah you’re gonna hate it unless you get out during bootcamp the title isn’t what it used to be and it’s very lackluster you’ll hate this shit until you get out.go to college or AIR FORCE
I never served but I played basketball under an old drill saergent who instilled discipline that we all appreciated later. As the season went on he slowly eased up but the message was ingrained by that point. Still today all of us that played under him used that discipline today to help us be better people.
That is exactly the day my boyfriend left too 😢 July 22nd 2024, his name is Benjamin Martinez! Maybe by the time you read this when you come back you might be able to tell me how it was for y’all! That’s why I’m watching this video right now. I miss him and I have no idea what bootcamp is like! I hope you guys are doing well in it!

I joined the Airforce back in 2002. Our men and women of all the branches deserve our upmost respect. Especially these men and women in the video. Wish I could go back but I’m a year or two too old. Thanks to all our veterans and active military out there.
a lot of ppl don't understand the feeling of going thru bootcamp and earning that EGA, this new marines aren't done but they have earned the title of us marines they are more obstacles ahead of these guys congrats
Number one reason why I didn’t reenlist. I hate running more than standing in useless formations, working 16 hour days, and getting treated like a child.
8 plus years a Marine many years ago. Wouldn’t join today for all the money in the world. The new Corps is going thru many changes in mission, equipment and policies which are not focused on a warrior mentality or mission. The new Marines lost a combat comp to British Marines at 29 Palms ..their own playground and it wasn’t even close. They got rid of tanks which are necessary to support troops and are too focused on social justice. Listen to the Marine leaders in front of congress and it makes me sad that the Corps has changed so much.
I went through Navy boot camp in 1994 and we had to do that damn tear gas similar to the Corps. It SUCKED but it cleared my sinuses for like 3 months lol.
As a 33-year-old male I don’t know if I would survive Boot Camp. I am however grateful for those who have served and took the first step to being a marine and etc.. 🫡
I think it's really interesting how they show what would happen if you fall off the tower during the rappelling exercise. How Safety is always number one. Love that.
Dude you should tell your recruiter nvm because the fleet is ass it’s full of shitbags who don’t wanna work and you’ll do all the bitch work until you hit NCO and then you STILL get treated like a pvt. you will hardly get any pussy just work all the time and you’ll hate your life no matter how motivated you try to be. Go to college instead I guarantee that shit will make you hate your life less.
As an 18 year old I enter meps in 2 weeks. I grew up kinda messed up. My grandpa figure was a navy seal In nam. He treated me worse than the d.is in this video. I was told they would be meaner. It may just be for UA-cam to downplay for future marines however it doesn’t seem like hell enough. I know it will suck. But I don’t think it will be as bad as I thought.
1:35 “Sgt Carney” was my company First Sgt this must’ve been recorded 4-5 years ago he’s a First Sgt now he challenged me to do a maneuver under fire with him
If you're going in, don't be fooled by the ones that say you should be a squad leader or guide. Squad leader just puts you in a position to have to deal with your fellow platoon members bullshit for no reward. As for guide, I had about five different guides in bootcamp, so if you're gonna go for it you better be a fucking stud because the drill instructors will dismiss you from guide whenever they want.
It's nice to know my favorite barber still works and the recruit haircut place, i hope he's doing well. edit: damn they weren't joking about how nice third battalion squad bays now are.
Hi I live in Germany. In former times as in nürnberg and fürth there were big army communities, i one day went in this area. I met a friend of me there. It was in fürth in bavaria. One building ad the four letters on the door: usmc I asked somebody what is it. I wondered why it was here.
Im really tempted to go of to the marine core i have done tkd with a marie drill instructor for 6 year im 14 and i am tenpted to go at 17 ❤ love america
I am looking at this video because I have a meeting with a Recruiter on Monday to discuss about me wanting to join the marines. My friend is the one that recruited me and ngl, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. So far this looks crazy and I know I can do it, it as the Commander said in the beginning “you have do be disciplined”. I’m scared ima be honest but I want my parents to get green card and I want to have a cool legacy I guess.
Oh great. Now not only do I have to repel down a forty foot tower, but I also have to free fall halfway down it?? I'm not saying I'm rethinking my plan to enlist, but I'm now very close to it lol.
@@MilkManTabi Nah bro I was joking, ain't no way I'm joining the Air Force. Most of the dads at my church are Marines, and as a female, I want to follow in their footsteps and join the brotherhood with them.
I leave January 28th for Parris island. Kinda worried not knowing what to expect. What’s the physical part of it like? Constant smoke sessions all day with little breaks? Do they try to kill you with physical fitness? Or do they actually give you breaks. I’m thinking it’s 24/7 smoke sessions idk why

He’ll be fine I’m sure he’s tough and he’ll come out stronger after 3 months. He’s in good hands
@@ERS1713thanks I think he will make it but he has really bad anger issues
He’s gonna get hazed tf out of and get beat
@@Gaming_172Hope he worked on shutting up and doing what he is told. If not he chose the WRONG job.
@@randomclipsmilitary9056 He just pass bootcamp
8 plus years a Marine many years ago. Wouldn’t join today for all the money in the world. The new Corps is going thru many changes in mission, equipment and policies which are not focused on a warrior mentality or mission. The new Marines lost a combat comp to British Marines at 29 Palms ..their own playground and it wasn’t even close. They got rid of tanks which are necessary to support troops and are too focused on social justice. Listen to the Marine leaders in front of congress and it makes me sad that the Corps has changed so much.
I went through Navy boot camp in 1994 and we had to do that damn tear gas similar to the Corps. It SUCKED but it cleared my sinuses for like 3 months lol.
Joining in 20 days shipping soon wish me luck
I leave for boot camp this Wednesday any positive advice? Ngl I’m nervous
Good luck and Godspeed, Recruit!
As a 33-year-old male I don’t know if I would survive Boot Camp. I am however grateful for those who have served and took the first step to being a marine and etc..

All of this looks like a ton of fun. I missed out
@7:10 we did not have this course in 1975. Semper Fi!
lol the rappelling. I struggled with that too. It eventually just clicks though alot like riding a bike.
I forgot that Marines put a lot of time into D&C. When I went through Army basic in 2012 we only did D&C for like 20 minutes once and never again.
this is very informative
I'd be down to join the Marines but I know that I would crack under pressure and screw up royally like Pyle in full Metal jacket
how come the new recruits are using the desert cams instead of the regular green cammies that the Marines use
shortage of the green cammies
I’ve got a buddy who just graduated boot and they were issued the green ones as well as the FROGs. Just depends on when you get there I guess.
@@isaaccano6858 I know during lastbsummer there was a shortage, but I know when my buddy got to MCT he got frogs and green cammies.
@@isaaccano6858 It may have just been last summer. My buddy had desert cammies, and they also got frogs and green cammies but it was in MCT
Some of these clips were OCS not boot camp.
so blessing ❤
0:16 guy in the green shirt looks like hes an accountant or otherwise office material
When I see a Marine, I think RESPECT!
I'm thinking a nice large box of scrumptious crayons!! Yummy for my tummy! 😁😂🤣
I see a used up tool when I see any zogbot
I think total asshole
All of my brothers are In the military and right now I’m just in middle school when I grow up im joining.
Better change that pfp then bro wtf is that middle school anime type shit 😂💀
Bro I don’t wanna start beef rn so js leave me alone cuz Im having a bad day rn
Mannn that first barber been around for awhile‼️ I remember seeing him back in 2014 when I was on the island 🖤

Good luck 👍
YOUR ALL MY BOOTS
Shut up boot
Why does it look kinda fun
Because it is. Enlist :)
@victorvillatoro7241 yes let's help the recruiter 🤫😆
Go join bro
@@lifedeather rah
@@SharkSkimZZ rah rah rah rah rah
1 more month and I will be in San Diego
I think it's really interesting how they show what would happen if you fall off the tower during the rappelling exercise. How Safety is always number one. Love that.
man i leave in September but fuck my running is ass gotta get better
I leave for the navy in September. Good luck to ya
If you can pass the IST you shouldn't have a problem. You're gonna get pushed for sure but that's the point. DO NOT SHIP UNTIL YOU CAN PASS THE IST!
Dude you should tell your recruiter nvm because the fleet is ass it’s full of shitbags who don’t wanna work and you’ll do all the bitch work until you hit NCO and then you STILL get treated like a pvt. you will hardly get any pussy just work all the time and you’ll hate your life no matter how motivated you try to be. Go to college instead I guarantee that shit will make you hate your life less.
my boyfriend ran two miles everyday before bootcamp, try it
@@avenbrooksuglygreenvans5881I run 17 for fun lol no one cares about 2 miles. Your boyfriend probably runs a 40 minute 2 mile..
I started Boot Camp in August 1951 in sand flea heaven,also known as Parris Island.
As an 18 year old I enter meps in 2 weeks. I grew up kinda messed up. My grandpa figure was a navy seal In nam. He treated me worse than the d.is in this video. I was told they would be meaner. It may just be for UA-cam to downplay for future marines however it doesn’t seem like hell enough. I know it will suck. But I don’t think it will be as bad as I thought.
1:35 “Sgt Carney” was my company First Sgt this must’ve been recorded 4-5 years ago he’s a First Sgt now he challenged me to do a maneuver under fire with him
Memories. Good times.
"You will be treated with dignity and compassion"
🤣😅🤣
And vomit is delicious!!!!!!
Look. They are not lying if everyone is treated equally, lol.
If you're going in, don't be fooled by the ones that say you should be a squad leader or guide. Squad leader just puts you in a position to have to deal with your fellow platoon members bullshit for no reward. As for guide, I had about five different guides in bootcamp, so if you're gonna go for it you better be a fucking stud because the drill instructors will dismiss you from guide whenever they want.
As a former marine who served 15 years before being medically discharged, these drill instructors are definitely being more cautious cause of cameras
Former??
It's nice to know my favorite barber still works and the recruit haircut place, i hope he's doing well.
edit: damn they weren't joking about how nice third battalion squad bays now are.
Just graduated mcrd San Diego it wasn’t that hard just put you mind to it
😮 How's the first week?
Hi I live in Germany. In former times as in nürnberg and fürth there were big army communities, i one day went in this area. I met a friend of me there. It was in fürth in bavaria. One building ad the four letters on the door: usmc
I asked somebody what is it. I wondered why it was here.
they are 10 times meaner without the camera.
lol. yess
Hearing saving private ryan in the back of the barbed wire crawling would have taken me out of the immersion of the drill
This is So Hard, joining the Marines is a lot difficult than the Army or Navy Seals.
Marine corps boot is nothing compared to BUD/S.
Brings back memories , Nov 16 1996 retired may 2017
Im really tempted to go of to the marine core i have done tkd with a marie drill instructor for 6 year im 14 and i am tenpted to go at 17 ❤ love america
I am looking at this video because I have a meeting with a Recruiter on Monday to discuss about me wanting to join the marines. My friend is the one that recruited me and ngl, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. So far this looks crazy and I know I can do it, it as the Commander said in the beginning “you have do be disciplined”. I’m scared ima be honest but I want my parents to get green card and I want to have a cool legacy I guess.
7:35 you’re incredibly tired and hungry the whole time. Trust me.
Oh great. Now not only do I have to repel down a forty foot tower, but I also have to free fall halfway down it?? I'm not saying I'm rethinking my plan to enlist, but I'm now very close to it lol.
join the air force instead
@@MilkManTabi Nah bro I was joking, ain't no way I'm joining the Air Force. Most of the dads at my church are Marines, and as a female, I want to follow in their footsteps and join the brotherhood with them.
20 foot drop doesnt hurt much. Take a knee drink water and you will be fine
@@nevyjohnson234gonna get ran through in MCT,schoolhouse and the Fleet 🚂
What time stamp?
I just feel bad for the guys that showed up only six people on night of arrival.
Leaving in October 😶🌫️
I leave January 28th for Parris island. Kinda worried not knowing what to expect. What’s the physical part of it like? Constant smoke sessions all day with little breaks? Do they try to kill you with physical fitness? Or do they actually give you breaks. I’m thinking it’s 24/7 smoke sessions idk why
