- Here is a look at what bootcamp was around 89 and early 90's for all those "old timers". The kids going through bootcamp now were born about the time we were going through, enjoy.

"I just wanted to see if I could do it." I like that kid. He's going places in life.
Look at the change to dude made in the boot camp that you're talking about big change
This brings back so many memories. I went through bootcamp in 1991, today My Son is in 3rd phase. This brought tears to My eyes. God Bless the United States Marine Corps. Semper Fi 🇺🇸
Did you kill anyone marine sir?
@@NgJackal1990 Wtf is your goddamn problem?
@@NgJackal1990 why would you ask bro that question 💀
@@father7044 I'm curious.
@@NgJackal1990 fair enough ig
I graduated from there in 1982... One of the proudest days of my life. You don't think about it much when your young, but having that title 'Marine' is something I am immensely fortunate and proud to wear for the rest of my life. God bless the men and women that keep that tradition and honor alive today. Semper Fi.
I arrived at MCRD alone. It was 15 March, '68. Platoon 156. Graduated on 21 May, '68 during the height of the Vietnam war.
I was there in platoon 1061 08' from August 25 to November 21. I was in Afghanistan. Its good to see some of the old breed on here! Oorah
How many VCs did you kill?
@@NgJackal1990 dude that’s not something you ask
@@Hlooaooaoa War was over man.
@@NgJackal1990 still don’t ask how many people you killed
I don't care which branch is better I respect everyone in the U.S. Military.
every branch is unique. every branch is trained in their own profession.
marines corps is the best in beach assault and embassy guard. navy is the best in surface and submarine warfare. airforce is the best in air to air combat and space programs. army is the best in bulk and land warfare. coast guard is the best in coast guarding and anti drug trafficking.
Robert Valdez Thee is no "better" branch; they are all of equal value and importance.
+Adonis Guy respect to you for being objective.
RobMaiden thank you I was in the U.S ARMY

That is my Dad at 5:03. He is the one wearing the hat ;) I was in elementary school at the time. Happy Birthday Marines! Semper Fi!
I thought this was the island for a minute. That place is legendary.
Holy crap, the reveille scene is my platoon, and I'm in it. I remember the day they filmed it, the DIs told us the night before, then woke us up 15 minutes early to get ready. Hollywood Marines indeed...
"I just wanted to see if I could do it" Haha! What a stud.
OMG, I had this on VHS after graduating boot and lost the tape years ago. Haven't seen it in so long. MEMORIES!
SSgt Campbell Senior DI. Sgt. Adkins, Sgt. Leon, Sgt Drake, all good hard-assesses DI’s which ruined lives for months on end for recruits. Hope you all had a good long lives. Thanks for the good training, It served me well
My first day of my Marine Corps time was June 26th, 1989 when I arrived at Paris Island MCRD. Went on to become a 2531 Field Radio Operator and ended up being forced out due to cutbacks on June 26th, 1993. I still miss it and I have a buddy of mine that was able to make it through the draw downs and is a SGM currently stationed in Afghanistan. Thank you for putting up these videos, brings back a lot of good memories. Semper Fi, do or die. 1989-1993.
Lol The Recruit said on the bus when the DI was walking up he said "Oh Great"
Ask someone what they do: "I'm in the Army" "I'm in the Navy" or " I AM a Marine"
damn! watching this from the '90s and then watching one from todays times and nothing has really changed, they still have the red desks and all the same methods. This is awesome!
I for one am very grateful for your service. Several generations in my family served including both of my parents. I am hoping to join them one day in that proud tradition
Back in the day when we had starched uniforms and spit shined boots. Wouldn't change it for the world. Semper Fidelis marines!
Fred Brice still starched and shined in 05
From this Air Force veteran, I want to say that the United States Marines have my utmost respect and admiration. The military is an inherently noble and honorable profession, but the sense of this is deeper as a Marine.
The United Stated Air Force ought to take some lessons from the Marines. The military is a profession of arms. Air Force people (and ALL military people) need to have a dedication to their institution and profession as the Marines have for theirs.
I love how soldiers and marines always bicker about who is better. We are fighting on the same side!
OMG!! Is this that "Major Dad" San Diego boot camp video you could buy with your graduation footage??!! I was just thinking of this the other day! I haven't seen this in YEARS!!! Thank you brother.
the dark green Marine at the beginning was one of my Drill Instructors. At the time he was a Sgt. Sgt. Venable is his name and I had/have the utmost respect for that man. Semper Fi
I hate the fact there are a lot
Of imposters in America! Ppl don't know the feeling on getting that EGA...
People are stupid Pretending to be a Marine or another branch.Thats happens and that's making fun of the US Army IF! You say incorrect stuff.
once a Marine always a Marine. Nothing is more rewarding. I spent two years in Vietnam and the best time of my life was when I became a United States Marine and at 64 years of age I still have the pride of the Marine Corps and will until the day i die. Semper Fi
Good God if you guys aren't awesome. Thank you. Thank you for undertaking the so amazing. For putting yourself in harms way. For doing what I was too afraid to do. For protecting us, and your brothers and your sisters. I wish I had the inner strength to have chosen that path. But I didnt. And its too late for me now. But I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart. And I will support you. You guys are the epitome of what every fighting force should strive to become.
6:00 WHO TF WEARS A BATMAN TSHIRT TO BOOTCAMP XDXD
Zach,When USMC Bootcamp starts They don't start of with the Undershirt or MCCU's.Who in the hell does a recruit already have a uniform.Mean he should already have a Rank and insignia.
Someone who didn’t know about it
my dad is at 4:10 !!!
Meltdown304 nice!!!.
What year was that Meltdown?
Meltdown304 Fila!!

I love seeing these young Marines. I was a recruiter at RS Detroit, RSS Six Mile. I used to have my Poolees come to my office and we would give them some basic classes to get them excited. Recruiters had to run the physical fitness test, so i made them run it also since we did ours on the weekends. It felt good when they came home and let me know that they made it. Gotta love it.
Congrats Joseph on joining a brotherhood you will always be part of once you graduate. Semper Fi.
My uncle should've been there at that time, he fought in panama and Operation desert storm, he was infantry
5:42 There's NO REASON why women should not have to go through that just like men! Equality, equality equality......well, equality is a 2 way street ladies! With equal rights comes equal responsibility & treatment -in ALL forms. NOT just the ones in favor of you! That goes for the physical testing too!
Women should get their heads shaved? That is what concerns you? Please tell me you jest.
Jaclyn Petersen"equality" is what concerns me. Read my last note more fully. Women are all too happy to be given equal rights, opportunity & recognition but you breathe a word of equal treatment as it relates to responsibility and women start whining. You ever see "The Waltons"? There's an episode where the girls want to enter the horse race that was always just for men in the past just to show them up. But when their youngest sister insists they do push-ups on their toes instead of their knees, they start complaining "But Elizabeth! Those are BOY push-ups! Those are too hard!" PUHLEEEEEZZZZZE!
Equality is a 2-way street, not 1 gender picking & choosing what they want to be equal in favor of them. Rights & responsibilities go together. If you want the opportunity to do something then you take all the requirements & responsibilities that go with it, not just the ones you desire.
That's a dude
If we are talking equal rights then complain about how our physical standards are sub par, how women get a longer run time and the same points, how we do the flexed arm hang, how run times and ammo can lifts in the cft are also judged the same way. If you're going to cry equity then say something that matters. And a reference to the waltons... really... that was what a show based on life in what the 50's?? It's written by people with completely different world views than our current times. All I ask is that if cry equality make it something relevant. The amount of hair on your head has no impact in your military effectiveness.
Part of my point exactly talking physical standards. But then accept the whole requirement -including getting your head shaved. Actually Waltons was in the 1930's :)
Call me a pioneer in reverse liberation, or men's rights.
Women wear pants, suit coats, ties, baseball hats, T-shirts, drive trucks, and a dozen other things that "belong to" men & no one dares say anything. Yet just let a guy put on a pink flowered shirt -let alone anything more, and everyone at best, automatically, instantaneously assumes he MUST BE.... ahem....attracted to other men, at worst, wanna' rush him off in a net & white coat for "counseling".
Equality is a 2 way street. She looks just as off beat in HIS suit & tie as he would in HER Sunday dress & purse over his shoulder.
Time period makes no difference -whether it's 500 B.C. or 2000 A.D. These liberationists whine & cry for equal rights, recognition, and opportunity but yet oh they still enjoy these little female perks, if you will, that "great grandma" had. There was 1 I met on-line who actually got upset because "The way I was taught when people go out on a date HE pays."! She didn't even bring any cash because even beforehand she was expecting the guy to pick up the whole check! 100 years ago when HE made all the $ due to society's views on work, yeah, obviously. But in all fairness to your statement, well, pay your own way nowadays ladies. -And a dozen other things I could write a book on here. Rights & responsibilities go together.
My nephew left last Sunday for Parris Island. Can't wait to see him in a few months, Man I'm so proud of him,
Ive already EAS about 4 months ago. it was a unforgettable experience!, I got to go on a MEU, and also deployed to Afghanistan, met a lot of great and brave men that I still speak to today, god bless all the men and women who serve this country..
Holy shit. It's Raymond Tusk...
Just a few days left until I'm there!!!
I bet you're still there. When you get back in 2 months tell me about it. Meaning the people, the drama, etc... Gossip wise ...
i went to this camp to pick up my friend one time.
its pretty cool how much they have changed and how they become a brotherhood.
Nice to see some older footage. I was at MCRD Parris Island June 1998, November Co. 4032. I actually miss it! Thanks for posting this!
G co. plt 2027, June 21, 1991
Thank you for your service, sir. I'm enlisting right after highschool. Oorah!
@@monolithofinhumanity9851 how is it?
MY DAD IS IN THIS OMG
+Deon Kelly if you pause at 7:02 he's the one next to the DI's elbow/forearm
what year was this?

".....not to question why, but to do or die..." Love them, or hate them, some of them gave, give, and WILL give their precious lives, for us. Salute.
Good luck man! and If you ever doubt about yourself, think of someone who you want to make proud, and if that doesn't work, think of the thousands marines who have been trough the same thing, and if that doesn't work either, think of that guy from youtube who supports you even from the Netherlands!! Semper Fidelis!
the DI's seemed less intense back then than they are now.
Jesusmetalhead they were way worse back then
keif That’s debatable. Each generation thinks the new one is softer until they hear a new gen recruit’s experience and realize it’s pretty similar, besides some minor differences like uniforms, weapons, and gear
@@Justin_GFM I think they were worse back then, back then they could put their hands on you and smack you around if need be.
@@mr_m4613 also call you names and could cuss
At 8:31 I'm sure the DI was like, what the heck are you doing with that camera?
RedSoxFamily I don't get what you are saying I was in the military so what.
RedSoxFamily I don't get what you are saying I had a muffin for breakfast so what
RedSoxFamily I don't get what you are saying my son likes to make lego guns so what
Run, Run, and run. If you are prepared for the long runs, you can handle it. Good luck. Semper Fi
Best damn group of people I've ever had the honor of being associated with. Always had my back and I had theirs. Semper Fi from "Doc", an old 8404 Corpsman with the FMF.
REVEILLE!!! YES!!! The most chilling sound a military recruit will ever hear. Because after you hear that, ALL HELL BREAKS LOSE!!! lol
Putting that uniform on gives you the greatest feeling of pride and responsibility. I wish more people could experience what I experienced.
The Corps has a incredible scientific method of teaching anything as long as you open your mind and learn, Marines are tough many things but the biggest thing the Marines will teach you is inner strength the power of your mind...mind over matter...
seems like yesterday for me..back then boot camp was only 8 weeks...they were in a hurry of getting us to Vietnam..proudest days of my life..
That's basically what the USAF is all about. Making sure all of our guys on the ground come home safely. -USAF Airborne Recon
This is the best armed service video yet on youtube. I havnt seen any good videos on any of the other branches. SN: I shuda joined the marines instead of the army.
I love that beginning song that comes on, give me that old Marine Core Spirit!
I have respect and admiration for all Marines, past and present. I'm a 10-year Army veteran (AIRBORNE), and to those of you who proudly wear the eagle, globe, and anchor...this paratrooper renders you the proper military salute. AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY...and SEMPER FI!!!!!
Plt 3050 Kilo 3rd RTR, Aug 1988. Love this time machine. I carried that nasty nylon duffel bag all they way through SOI along with my "knowledge" in my cargo pocket. I flew in by myself to San Diego by myself from Spokane. The bus was barely half full. The receiving DI was disappointed and did not yell. Just growled at us.
I do remember getting that sea bag and having all that gear just thrown at me.
The chow looked amazing.
Jan 15,1980, I arrived,took me til 2002 to see if I wanted to make it a career. Semper Fi, always.
Holy crap! I remember this damn video. Brings back good memories. God bless the Corps!
man, they sure dont waist any time to start yellin' at you, thismakes me so exited to to join the corps
I went in July 2001...almost didnt get to go home because I graduated 3 days after 9/11 and most of everybody's families couldnt come to graduation but that was an experience of a lifetime
hahahah that kid's face is priceless at about 5:08. I probably had the same look, I was tired as all hell when I had to get off that bus
just got back nothing much has changed... i remember all of this like it was yesterday id rather be there than here on my damn chair hell i even miss my drill instructors
i respect you and your decision to go to the Marine Corps and good luck
I'm enjoying that the only difference between the service uniform of today and 20 years ago is the shoes... hope the Navy's paying attention...
1985, plt. 1047 MCRD San Diego CA. Regrets and pride in what was accomplished is what kept me motivated.
If you haven't gone through it, then you will never be this hard. If you have gone through it then you will never be this hard again. Ooh-rah Marine Corps!
Kris... This was my platoon... i remember thinking that this wasnt so hard during receiving.. its not like TV... it was really that mellow ... until training day 1 and we picked up our training drill instructors.... that night there were sniffles heard throughout after lights out
See now THIS is what I'm talking about!!!!! I live for this shit!!!
Thank you I think it is absolutely hilarious too see the confusion and fear in their faces I expierenced my first week at basic
That Cadence in the Beggining is Awsome! Future Marine, HOO-RAH!
Just graduated on the 11th from San Diego kilo company all you guys that are leaving soon no sweat remember you're not the first to do this and you're not the last just keep on pushing remember why you're here no sweat
SMITH I DIDNT SEE YOU AT CAMO PRACTICE TODAY !
Thank you sir !
The Marine Corps is what you make it. Do what you're told, and do it fast. Good luck future Marines.
This brings back memories, I graduated 15 July 88' platoon 2047. SDI Sgt Barkesdale, DI Sgt Bailey, DI Sgt Lee. I can't believe its been so long ago.
I miss the Marine Corps. I think about the Corps and the amazing people everyday, at least three times a day. God bless the United States Marine Corps. Semper Fi brothers!
He was there when I went through Boot camp in 97, that's for sure.
This video brings back memories for me. I was in platoon 1047 Bravo when this was filmed.
Back then, we were issued two sets of Alphas, 1 Polyester/wool and the other wool. We werent issued Garrison covers. We wore the piss-cutters. Blues were not issued. Got thumped 4 separate times by my Drill Instructors. We graduated in Charlies in August back in 1985.
@textr1 You are very welcome sir, I followed in my heroes footsteps. My Grandfather was a Marine in WW2, and my Dad was a Marine fighting in the Tet offensive when I was born in Feb. 68'. They are both gone now but they will always be my heroes.
Our receiving even has extreme yelling and chaos. I graduated bootcamp in beginning of 09 so it looks like it changed quite a bit since this video.
This brings back memories i was a marine from 94 to 98
Marine corp rocks !! I enlisted and enjoyed every part of to
OMG, I forgot about this video. I bought my copy, umm VHS copy, back in Feb., 1991. I remember the barbers and the chaplain. Platoon 2109. We got to wear our dress blues to graduation.
Thank you for your service.
yah an i need another job. so im thinkin about it , thanks for the incouragement. Power to the people!
"Every meals a banquet, every paychecks a fortune, every formation a parade GOD I LOVE THE CORPS
To think that some of those men didn't even come home. RIP my fellow American and proud Marines!
I joined for school but ended up doing the hole stick ,, good luck to all of you who want to be a marine ,,, semper fi .
Nothing says USMC like "Major Dad". Thanks to all who have served...we appreciate it very much.
If you pay attention to the video, in the beginning, he says, "Don't forget everything you've learned in the past 12 weeks."
@cpocampojd good luck at bootcamp. It will be hard, but if you have heart, thers no doubt you will make it. I went to the 1st gulf war in 1990-91, and it was scary. However it did'nt last long, the Iraqi army was routed in 100 hrs. May God bless you and keep you.
I am going into boot camp for the young marines soon, cant wait, i especally cant wait until i join the US. Marine Corps, Semper Fi marines
If I could sir I would shake your hand and give you much thanks for your sacrifice, today people don't honor ower vet's like they should my grand father served in the army air core before named the air force today and everyone in America should be taught to honor our vet's and our country, not when the mood suites us, but should be a responsibility with humility and respect.
I am now 58.. went to mcrd 1983, yet feels like yesterday...2023 may 6 83 graduated
Thank you for your service
I like this, My dad joined the Marines in 1989, and I've wanted to see how it was 20 years ago. Looks kinda nice. But I hope to get into the Marines when im 19 or 20.
I love to see programed people...
Its just amazing how the brain worcks
1982: The Marine Corps DI's seemed to be a little more 'hands-on' back in the day but that Highly-motivated; Truly-dedicated; Marine Corps ass-chewing remains unchanged. I still love to hear it.
Flashback!!! I went through in the summer of 1988. Oo-rah!
Yes. There are those that are less likely to be deployed, depending on the MOS that you are assigned. After Boot Camp, you will attend an MOS school, then assignment to the FMF (Fleet Marine Force). But everyone who is considering a life in the Marine Corps should understand that all Marines face the likelihood of deployment, whether that deployment is for training, or for movement to a battle zone. Your recruiter can explain it all to you. Best of luck.

USMC (Retired)
right when I saw the drill instructor walking to the bus, first thing that crossed my mind: "ahhh shit, it's about to go down!"
I still remember this like it was yesterday. Platoon 3072 I Company 3rd Battalion 1987.
