    4:20 That recruit in the rope is heart breaking to see but very important to look at. People will make fun of him cuz he’s failing all the time. But that is a mental barrier he’s going thru. The instructor is showing him how to do it at a standstill, but he is so tired he can’t process the answer and apply it. It’s all mental.

(or just to much stress pain agony to laugh) - thanks for service and in advance for insight.

      @@rogerdonaldson1133 The movie was extremely realistic about USMC boot camp during the 70s and early 80s. I went thru in ‘81. Most of the DIs were Vietnam vets, especially the Senior DIs. There was some violence but only towards the ones who would not get with the program (Pvt Pyle). There were a few times I smiled or busted a gut trying to hide a laugh. We would get smoked. In my opinion, the movie’s 1st half was vividly real.

      @@Lee-hd3gf The biggest difference from what I’ve seen in theses videos are weak recruits that shouldn’t be in training. They need to go the PCP or physically conditioning platoon until they meet PT standards. The overweight guy should be in there because he couldn’t complete the obstacle course and the skinny guy that was struggling on his run should be put in there. He honestly looks like he could do 3 miles in 15 to 17 minutes with his physique. We didn’t get motivational talks. We either met standards or get washed back until we did or get discharged from boot camp. I have no idea if they still put the platoon in the sandpit or recruits on the quarterdeck or rifle punishment like they did back then. But Drill Instructor wise they still sound the same as they did back then the only difference I see from this set of drill instructors is my 4 drill instructors rarely cussed back then. We either listened or they’d get their point across with the sandpit or quarterdeck or rifle exercises. I did something stupid in mess hall week and was made to run a half a mile from the mess hall to the squad bay on the 3rd deck 4 times and each time do 20 pull ups.
