I have to wait for my wife to get out of MOS school first because we have a kid. The recruiters said it would be a faster process if she joined first and than I would be able to enlist right after. Everyone in MEPS is aware of our situation so its all good.
They still wear kevlars. Yes, they still run the hikes. Hated everything about bootcamp still worth getting the training though. Helped shaped a better and brighter person today.
@OzarkUSMC0341 i think they started using them in '08..its theimportant part of the shooting qual. to see if the recruits are ready for grass and real rounds
@repthehuskers Thank you LCpl and i'am joining for the brother hood and the title i was just curious on what i would get in any situation thank you for your service Semper Fi!
Me hace recordar el gran sacrificio que hizo nuestro Señor Jesucristo camino del calvario y todo por Amor por darnos vida eterna!!😭😭❤️🙏🙌 Y aunque claro nunca será igual pero si es un gran sacrificio que estos jóvenes enfrentan y algunos hasta su vida también! solo por defender la nación y por ende darnos seguridad paz y libertad!! Gracias por sus servicios!! Con mi hijo ahora mismo en boot camp y se graduara SDQ en noviembre me siento tan relacionada y comprendo un tantito así 😭👌a María !🙏🙏
i agree with this statement 100 percent you get in trouble in boot camp pushups on the quarter deck.... in the fleet... 24hour duty on a weekend or article 15 sucks i would do bootcamp again
I think they started in 05 actually. I went in 06 and we had the molle. What i hated was the damn war belt. With the canteens clipped on the molle would sit on top of them and dig the clips into my skin. I was bleeding after the reaper. Still an awesome experience though.
I hated that first hike to me that was the worst we walked so damn fast trying to keep up they didn't show the whole hike trail there's a steep ass hill we had to hike up but we had our weapons in hand
I remember the rifle range. It was cold (jesus was it), foggy with very low visibility, and absolutely miserable. In other words: An awesome experience.
we did that shooting at video game screen in the army too we all thought it was pointless. because when you start actually shooting its completely different
I always thought those diddies during humps were annoying as hell. I also remember a Sgt. Barton being my rifle coach, not sure if it's the same one at 0:10 And wow simulators. That's not a replacement for actual shooting is it??
@irHaVocPaul your welcome. thats what I like to hear, there is nothing more than having that family value, and earning the title! you will carry it on the rest of your life! you'll make friends that will mean more to you than any other friend you've had back home! just and fyi, look at all your possobilities for an MOS some have a pretty nice signing bonus! and look into what you wanna do dont take the recruiters word for it, talk to someone who might have been in or knows something about it.
It's grass week. All he was doing was resetting the hammer so that he could dry fire again. If he racked it all the way with an empty mag, he would lock the bolt to the rear.
omg i remember the first time i did those hikes oh god they suck those packs are heavy that seems like baby stuff to me now but back then that was god damn challange
bootcamp is actually pretty easy if you look back at it...but at the time ur there...its hard as fuck...i should know...all these videos were from when i was there...i haven't been able to spot myself yet though...platoon 2149...
There's been a simulator system since at least the 80s and only the recruits who are having trouble or difficulty with snapping in and firing go there to use that simulator...
Well...I saw the "snapping in" with display screen and initially lost hope; thankfully the recruits were snapping in on real frickin' grass with 55-gallon barrels like we did "back in the day" OOO-Rah! Semper Fi!
Damn man, these recruits r lucky, when i was in MCRD San Diego i had a M16A2 as my rifle and that was the rifle i used on the rifle range. These recruits get M16A4's and they get to use the rifle simulator.
Captaín Kirk Kevlar was worn in the 8 mile hike and the flak is in the main pack. Smh... Soldiers trying to find even the tiniest bit to make them think they're better than Marines but still fail
Captaín Kirk and I must add that after EVERY hike, you'll get platoon IT-ed and slayed endlessly in your squadbay, pushing around foot lockers with heavy main packs on your back with the floor all covered up with powder, squats with main packs over the head, left hand compensator right hand pull back the charging handle and so many more fuck fuck games. Go ahead and lol. You'll never survive a day in boot camp
@irHaVocPaul if your in it for the money I would look else where! you dont start making a decent living untill you hit staff unless your married/ have kids and get b.a.h. and off base housing. the good benefits that come from the corps are, free living, medical, dental, g.i. bill and a few other things! I've been in for about 2 yrs on my way to picking up Cpl in may and the checks are not that great! how ever the experience and training you get is priceless!
Why do the Marines hike without their weapons in hand and ready to be fired... What is it a park they hike in always need to be prepared, also no intervals means no more Marines... i.e an explosion
AT&T must love the Marine Corps.
Thank you for all that y'all do! This is why Marines are in a league of their own, to say the least
Being a former Guide for Platoon 2151 (aka "Area 51"), this makes me proud and brings back the memories.
Im enlisting early next year and Im super excited to earn the title Marine. I hope to be in Boot Camp by April 2012
as I watch the humps, I can smell thoe camp pendleton trails again!!
I have to wait for my wife to get out of MOS school first because we have a kid. The recruiters said it would be a faster process if she joined first and than I would be able to enlist right after. Everyone in MEPS is aware of our situation so its all good.
They still wear kevlars. Yes, they still run the hikes. Hated everything about bootcamp still worth getting the training though. Helped shaped a better and brighter person today.
I remember always running on the Marches to fill in the Gaps,
Ooh Rah
Did anyone see the recruit fall at 3:09? haha
Only when you mentioned it XD
Poor guy lol
+Marshall Womack "Don't stop! Leave em!"
@OzarkUSMC0341 i think they started using them in '08..its theimportant part of the shooting qual. to see if the recruits are ready for grass and real rounds
I had the opportunity to do the sim-range at a Nat Guard base... they had mk19's, m2's and 240s though...
@Monchy312 I'll never forget the smells from my first hump, brings back memories. Loved Camp Pendleton.
I have a friend whos at boot camp at San Diego right now. I think hes like a week ahead of these guys.
@repthehuskers Thank you LCpl and i'am joining for the brother hood and the title i was just curious on what i would get in any situation thank you for your service Semper Fi!

@doeuhdeer it says the day at the beginning of some of them, if i remember it said september of 2011 so fairly recent
AT&T!
Reach out and touch somebody!
lol i remember that.
I think they started in 05 actually. I went in 06 and we had the molle. What i hated was the damn war belt. With the canteens clipped on the molle would sit on top of them and dig the clips into my skin. I was bleeding after the reaper. Still an awesome experience though.
when the hell did they start using molle packs?? damn we used the old ass A-frames back in '04...god wish i had those for the 5k hikes..
i remember i was like how do these guys walk so fast..humping hills is different muscles than running
Adonai Zedek My mom showed me a letter from bootcamp that i wrote in 03 "mom, today I met a man who can walk faster than I can run, no bullshit" lol
Don't forget the weight.
Agreed. and after hard times you seem to only remember the good parts anyways
I hated that first hike to me that was the worst we walked so damn fast trying to keep up they didn't show the whole hike trail there's a steep ass hill we had to hike up but we had our weapons in hand
man the gear is so much nicer than when i went in.
I remember the rifle range. It was cold (jesus was it), foggy with very low visibility, and absolutely miserable. In other words: An awesome experience.
we did that shooting at video game screen in the army too we all thought it was pointless. because when you start actually shooting its completely different
0:42 how the hell does the bolt come back? I don't remember that shit.
Co2 gas.
I was at USMC OCS those humps are in the predawn hours and that pace will break you
the drill instructor you see at 2:51 was at a drill competition of mine and i was able to talk to him he is the one walking towards the camera.
I always thought those diddies during humps were annoying as hell.
I also remember a Sgt. Barton being my rifle coach, not sure if it's the same one at 0:10
And wow simulators. That's not a replacement for actual shooting is it??
i remember grass week. Just stayin in each position for about 2 hours at a time without moving a muscle
brings back some good memories
so during the training course, or 5k hike, if we need to pee, where do we do it? or should we hold it in?
my drill instructors from 2011 are in there!! DI Sgt Mansfield and DI Sgt Sanchez if only i could see them now that im an nco
@irHaVocPaul your welcome. thats what I like to hear, there is nothing more than having that family value, and earning the title! you will carry it on the rest of your life! you'll make friends that will mean more to you than any other friend you've had back home! just and fyi, look at all your possobilities for an MOS some have a pretty nice signing bonus! and look into what you wanna do dont take the recruiters word for it, talk to someone who might have been in or knows something about it.
How much money do you receive for going into the marines does it make a difference on what job you take or what field you are going into?
why are they holding the rifles in a weird way on the movements ?
Don't they train recruits with ACOG sights instead of iron sights now?
wasn't in '08 for sure. I went through beginning of '09. This is the first time I've seen it
1:16 was he chambering a 9mm round lol....pull it back
It's grass week. All he was doing was resetting the hammer so that he could dry fire again. If he racked it all the way with an empty mag, he would lock the bolt to the rear.
omg i remember the first time i did those hikes oh god they suck those packs are heavy that seems like baby stuff to me now but back then that was god damn challange
platoon 3273 mike co. We literally ran this whole damn thing made us alot tougher
How much does the rucksack weigh during the ruck marches? Does each ruck (5K, 10K, 20K?) weigh the same?
gtarules1 its all the same. you just ruck longer with same equipment
u never pull back the charging handle with ur firing hand
bootcamp is actually pretty easy if you look back at it...but at the time ur there...its hard as fuck...i should know...all these videos were from when i was there...i haven't been able to spot myself yet though...platoon 2149...
Since when did recruits go through a simulated rifle shoot?
ITs called the izmit. Its just to prep them for the real thing. Alot of those guys never shot a rifle so they wana get them comfortable
0:53 is that Cpl Pantoja?
i cant wait till next summer marine corp basic
There's been a simulator system since at least the 80s and only the recruits who are having trouble or difficulty with snapping in and firing go there to use that simulator...
lol I didnt know you were in Golf Nunes.
LMFAO I replay that shit like 5 times lol. I was like ohh shit
@cathlic2007 He said "Necklace your weapons. Necklace, necklace, necklace."
Well...I saw the "snapping in" with display screen and initially lost hope; thankfully the recruits were snapping in on real frickin' grass with 55-gallon barrels like we did "back in the day" OOO-Rah! Semper Fi!
where i cant see it !?
@irHaVocPaul any other questions feel free to ask! i'll fill you in as much as i can from my experiences.
Damn man, these recruits r lucky, when i was in MCRD San Diego i had a M16A2 as my rifle and that was the rifle i used on the rifle range. These recruits get M16A4's and they get to use the rifle simulator.
Are you a DI in San Diego?
that walk/slow jog pace?
bro its only 3.1miles, and they seemed to walk most of it... brutal is a bit of an overstatement.
is this at pendleton?
how much do they ruck weigh in at? in that 5k
how is called the system that electronic shooting practice?
ISMT- Indoor Simulated Marksmanship Trainer
+Patrick Henry or the EST 2000
lol ever seen full metal jacket? "congratulations. you are no longer maggots, you are marines!"
3:10 his rifle fell....you all know what that means? FOLLOW IT!!! last 2 of the rifle serial number!
dmn the packs look light no wounder when we get them at SOI they are weak
2:53
holy shit sstg lohdan, he was my j-hat back in 2010.
at the 5k they got sling their rifles? What a luxury. In basic we had to carry them with both hands, I guess it was only this company.
+Steven Langston we had slings on our A2's since day one in boot. 2007.
Lol first thing I noticed. And on the hikes we wore the kevlars and flaks!!
Captaín Kirk Kevlar was worn in the 8 mile hike and the flak is in the main pack. Smh... Soldiers trying to find even the tiniest bit to make them think they're better than Marines but still fail
Captaín Kirk and I must add that after EVERY hike, you'll get platoon IT-ed and slayed endlessly in your squadbay, pushing around foot lockers with heavy main packs on your back with the floor all covered up with powder, squats with main packs over the head, left hand compensator right hand pull back the charging handle and so many more fuck fuck games. Go ahead and lol. You'll never survive a day in boot camp
That must suck hiking with the guideon
i remember having to push guys on that 5k
@doeuhdeer Yes.
what is the RD in USMCRD San Diego ?
+irontale travelbat recruit depot.
TerrorAirsoft ooh.. :D thanks dude i commented on three difrent videos this one claytonfilpo twice and no one has told me thanks dude :D
Well, I will say you guys got hills. PI was mostly flat.
3:08: I hope none of the DIs saw that rifle hit the deck.
I'm just guessing, but would I be right in thinking you're not too fond of the Marines...?
Parris island is the training
In Charlie company we carried our rifles
+uriahthompson2011 really? no one fucking cares. in kilo we had PPE on and carried our rifles. see no one cares
@klidesdalefarf fixed - 60lbs.
long hours of pointing and snapping you never forget
Why are they hiking so slow
@irHaVocPaul if your in it for the money I would look else where! you dont start making a decent living untill you hit staff unless your married/ have kids and get b.a.h. and off base housing. the good benefits that come from the corps are, free living, medical, dental, g.i. bill and a few other things! I've been in for about 2 yrs on my way to picking up Cpl in may and the checks are not that great! how ever the experience and training you get is priceless!
that's allot of marines at the 5k hike.
Damn this isn’t what we did on week 5
Oh Iron Sights how I miss you.
their marches look easier than ours(army). we had to carry our weapons the whole time. it sucked
those sims are fun lol
Agreed nobody has room to comment until they've been through it.
ISMT training for grass week? That's new.
Stone wall Jackson in the civil war could march his troops 35 miles a day and go right into battle
3:10 someone fell.
0:42 look at that new pouch n mag pouch!!
Used to fall asleep during those times ahaha
Doesn't everyone die?
They never wear boonies when hiking. That has never happened. Though i wished because that would of made a day easier lol
wooh they do simulations now???
who the freak is Shawbaw100? i tried to look back at the comments to see what he said to piss you guys off LOL must have gotten deleted
@klidesdalefarf more like stuff as much cold war era equipment in there and go. much more than 60 pounds
@repthehuskers possibilities*
GOOD AFTERNOON GENTLEMEN!!!
This will be me In a year
Why do the Marines hike without their weapons in hand and ready to be fired... What is it a park they hike in always need to be prepared, also no intervals means no more Marines... i.e an explosion
