My father was a Marine. And because of him, I always wanted to be in the Marines too. Unfortunately, I was born with chronic respiratory problems and I never would have passed the endurance requirements. My father told me he didn't need me to be a marine for him to be proud of me. Love you Dad.
@@foqsi_ I had heart surgery when I was 3 and was given a medical defer when I tried to enlist after doing JROTC in high school. This was shortly before 9/11. It was a huge disappointment for me but I had to recalibrate my future career path.
Boot camp is about 90 % mentality and 10 % physical. If you can handle somebody yelling at you and telling you that absolutely everything that you do is wrong, you can make it. It's not easy but it's definitely worth it.
@@rosettekinney8587 are you good at running the mile at school? (If you're still in school) I'm still a freshman and my score is 11 or 12 minutes hopefully I get better by the time I'm a senior
Yes, I had a friend who recently passed away from brain cancer, and all he wanted to be was a Marine. He had a disability when he was born. After high school he went to the marine recruit office in San Antonio, and they told him “no”. It crushed him. I told him, “my friend, people won’t even talk to a recruiter or walk into a recruiting office to get information. Be proud that you went and the Marines to you no. You tough and braver than me.” That lifted his spirits. Before he passed away he was made an honorary marine.
I remember the whole Paris Island scene, and the entire 12 weeks of recruit training. I remember my service number, and my platoon...platoon 342..3rd Recruit Training Battalion. It was a sweltering hot South Carolina night in late June, 1963, when we got off that bus, and my life changed forever. I was 18, recently graduated from high school. That was almost 57 years ago. You never forget. Never. And you never forget the pride you felt on graduation day after recruit training, before going to Camp Geiger for infantry training. I was initially a reservist, then transferred to the regular Marine Corps, saw combat in Vietnam (1967-68), discharged a Sgt in 1970. The best friends I ever had were in the Marine Corps. We were like brothers. You just never forget. I am 75 years old, and I still get chills when I hear the Marine Corps hymn, and see Old Glory blowing in the wind. God bless America, our country and our home. The word "USMC" is tattooed on my right forearm since 1966, and I wear it with pride. Semper Fi.
I went through boot camp in 1982, I came out of the Gas Chamber and said that wasn't all that bad a DI heard me and said come here miss Reed. I had to go through it again LOL
My brother was a Marine. He went to bootcamp back in 2014-2015, I was only 8 or 9 at the time. We never got along but I missed him while he was away at Paris Island. When I saw him for the first time in 12 weeks I cried, harder than I ever have before. (I'm crying again lol) Seeing videos like these (of which I'm obsessed with) makes me realize that what he went through was so tough. I'm always a little prouder of him and have a little more respect whenever I see a video like this. He was medically discharged but it doesn't change how proud I am of him. He's the reason why I'm pushing myself to be better, and the only reason why I'm thinking of joining the military here in 2024-2025. Thank you, bro, for making me a better person.
Instructor: YOU ARE JUST THE DRIVER, YOU DON'T OWN THE BUS, MAGGOT, NOW GET OFF MY BUS. Driver: But I need to keep driving. Instructor: OH YEAH MAGGOT OKAY... BE ON YOUR WAY
Wow, that almost brought tears to my eyes. We didn't have that ceremony when I was in but I know how that young Marine felt. The change is forever. Semper Fi.
Makes me think of the men and women who went through this, answered the call to serve their country, lost everything and are now homeless and/or with little help from the same country they risked their lives for.
@Matt Smith I'm a 29 year combat veteran. I know what my mission was and the mission of my brothers in arms. When I was in Afghanistan, we were protecting the innocent from the ultra pious. For my efforts, little girls in Afghanistan can go to school and learn to read without worry someone will throw acid in their faces for that "crime". I headed up an effort from my home unit that gathered over a ton of paper, pencils, notebooks, backpacks for the same schools. To say we shouldn't help is to observe the suffering of others, to observe the 12% literacy rate among women in Afghanistan and to say "Oh well, it is their culture and it is just as good as mine - just different". So, go on and read your little book while brave men help change the world for the better.
Marines are badass to the core. I know I couldn't have done this sort of training. Anyone who can get through Marine boot camp has my respect, because that takes some serious guts, willpower, discipline, and teamwork. Props to all of the Marines- past and present- no matter where they are in the world.
You'd be surprised. The Marines have been doing this for literally over 100 years. They have the psychology really dialed in The DI's are some of the most impressive people on the planet. If you have a decent attitude and moderate physical fitness, they will make you. You show up with just the minimums physically, life will be hard there. But entirely doable.
Lmao good fucking luck I been in about 2 years all I gotta say is stay motivated shit gets stupid at bootcamp and the student chute gonna make you so much more less motivated and once u hit the fleet ! It's all personal experience
+Gonken88 You've got your shit completely backwards. This is the first step. The French Army does a similar thing. Legionnaires are highly trained infantrymen. You want to see highly trained US Marine Infantrymen check out what I do for the Corps; Reconnaissance Marine ua-cam.com/video/5JIdMadG878/v-deo.html
I feel like it was yesterday 1984 that I was in boot camp. Then my son 30 years later in the same battalion and company as I. When I went to his graduation I entered my old squad bay from 1984 which was the same one he occupied. What a moment of pride for me to see him follow my footsteps.
For those considering joining after watching this vid, just understand that when the cameras are on, the drill instructors are on their best behavior. Much more intense and demanding when the mothers of America are not watching.
I moved to Arizona just before Summer 2019. In May, I became homeless, someone stole my car I was living out of, so I went and bought a bike. Rode the bike to the gym, someone stole my bike. Went and bought another bike. Sure there were days when I didn't have food, but this Marine fought through... Today April 24, 2020 I have my own apartment. It may be empty at the moment, but I shall have everything the devil stole from me. Receiving my EGA as a Recruit (Recruit 42), this Marine utilized a lot that was taught during basic training at USMCRD Parris, Island to make it through the tough days living on the streets. Marines push through, we get the job done. Period. Platoon 1042 Bravo Company 1st Battalion...eyes forward Marine! We have a job to do!!! Ooo-Rah
I feel for you brother as I was in a similar situation. You are an inspiration to other people. I know you're telling the truth because Marines(especially recruits)refer to themselves in the third person. I was a Navy Corpsman and later in life as a civilian I was homeless for 8 years. I'm low income but at least I have a nice studio apartment, and a car, that unfortunately has just about had it. I'll be without one soon but I don't live too far away from the store and hospital. I hate the way homeless vets are stereotyped. This is what a lot of people, not all but a lot of them think about homeless vets. "You're homeless because you are a drug addict and/or an alcoholic, you spent all your money or got kicked out of your place." For some vets that's true but not all of us. Some of us have had situations beyond our control that resulted in homelessness. For me, I quit my job to take care of my father who had senile dementia. I had worked in nursing homes previously and I knew if it was possible he was never going in one. I was able to do this for 8 years before my health deteriorated and I could no longer take care of him they way he needed to be. I used my savings until they were gone and when he had to go in a nursing home I became homeless. As my mother and brother had died several years before this I was the only one left and I would take care of him again if I had to and was able. He had a granddaughter and my brothers wife was still alive and healthy but in 8 years I never got any help from either one of them despite my father giving them both thousands of dollars after my brother died. Like you I didn't give up.
"Congratulations, it's alright to cry" in such a soft, caring, and proud parental voice after having that same person literally tear you down to your absolute core for weeks would be enough to make anyone cry i think.
As a Marine most of my last year in the Marine corps was spent in the Navy hospital with some of the best people I've ever met in my life. God bless the United States Navy they saved my life and some of the coolest guys I've ever met and girls
Deep respect to all those who have chosen to protect and to fight for their country. As a former NCO of the French Air Force, I friendly salute you. Long live the american-french brotherhood!!
I look back at this video to remind myself of the trials I went through to earn the title of US Marine. I shipped out May 3rd, 2021 and graduated August 8th. I will be forever grateful of my drill instructors for helping me become the Marine I am today. My favorite part of boot camp was the confidence course and the O-course. My favorite drill instructor handed me my EGA and told all of us the one thing we did the best at throughout our time as recruits. I held back my tears but man did I want to cry. I can't wait to see the other Marines that come out of boot camp and make it to the fleet
Hope you’re doing fine now, I graduated bootcamp not too long ago (December 17th 2021), currently at my mos school waiting on classes, where ever you are I wish you well; Semper Fi
My dad went through Parris back in the early 60's.. Back when they could put hands on you and no one got in trouble. He went to Nam, got 3 Purple Hearts... even after 3.. he didn't quit. He retired as a Master Gunnery Sergeant... E9. My dad, Top Luckey ... I salute him and I salute you Marines.
I completed Paris Island Boot Camp in 2006 & completed 3 tours in Iraq, one consisting of Fallujah. I was 0311. I am The Few, The Proud, The Marines. Rest in peace to my fellow battle buddies & kick ass future Marines! Semper Fi
I'm 69, a former Marine of the Vietnam conflict, a twenty-year veteran of the Texas State Police and honorably retired from both services. Nobody can win EVERY fight and I have been beat down many times in the past but always got back up. My age has caught up with me and I am right this moment 12 weeks recovering from a shoulder replacement surgery directly related to my cop job. In short, I'm a mess and have a daily reminder of the path I chose but I can honestly say that while viewing this video I completely forgot the pain my shoulder and back give me every day. I suppose those who chose a more sedate lifestyle might be much more comfortable at my age, but I wouldn't have it any other way. My son followed me in (USMC) in '08 and no dad could ask for more. My dad was an Army Air Corp veteran of WW II. Our family has done our share and it's good to know that there is still a bunch of Americans willing to do theirs! Ohhhhh Rahhhh. Semper Fi!
My friend, at 66, I am falling apart. Fit till stuff stopped working. Wife left not wanting to be tied down. I would not have changed a thing. Wish you well and God bless you and your family
@@lawrencebarrios8745 The word former only means you are no longer active duty (to me anyway), but I agree. I was making the distinction between "EX-Marine'" that I see incorrectly quoted far too often. But rest assured, if you cut me open I would still bleed green! Semper Fi!
My uncle was a Staff Sgt. on Parris Is. and the toughest human who ever lived (or at least well up there in the ranks) and one of the nicest. I grew up hunting, fishing and shooting with him (he was grinning ear to ear on the day when I broke 75 straight on the trap range. I was about 14 and my arms were killing me). Never heard him raise his voice or say anything unkind about anyone. He had nothing to prove to others and everyone sort of felt his inner strength. He fought through 2 wars was wounded and decorated but never talked about any of it. When he was dying he said that he would hold on long enough for me to get to his bedside and, once again, he kept his word.
Thank you for all this videos that show us how our kids are becoming men and women with all this sacrifices, challenges and hardtimes. My son is in his wk1 and I'm already in "proud tears" for all the things that he's starting to go thru and what is coming next. I'm praying to God to give him the strength to overcome all the challenges and can't wait to see him in January on graduation day. 🙏
When I went thru basic, one of the kids in my class literally shit his pants during indoc... idk if he was scared or what but the drill instructors called him out on it because it smelled like absolute shit in the room, I felt so bad for him, they even made him turn around and sure enough when he did there was a giant shit stain on his ass. Nobody even thought of laughing or even smiling because the instructors had us on our feet the entire time and god only knows what would have happened if someone did laugh out loud. He wound up making it all the way thru but I can’t even begin to imagine how embarrassing that must have been for him, and that reputation probably followed him thru his entire career in the military.
He's not kidding I went to boot camp in May 2003. Second battalion Fox company platoon 2066. I did two tours in Iraq in support of OIF II and III. They eased up on the PFT requirements and rifle qualifications. I wish we had acogs in boot camp lucky bastards! We still had Vietnam era equipment in boot. Wtf!
Just watching these young men and women go through this struggle willingly lets me know that our future is bright and full of hope. Bless these young Marines.
My husband is a Gunny. I wanted to join with him before we were married because I hated school and wanted to do something special. They didn't take me because of Crohn's Disease. My husband was furious and wanted to get it waived, but at that point I didn't want to be part of them if they didn't want me so I just finished school. My husband will say he loves everything about the USMC... except they way they treated his wife. I could've easily done all of this and served my country well. Our military needs to review its selectivity policies.
Addy C: I understand you but you’re wrong. Mental and physical diseases slow down the process to becoming a Marine. Marines need to get the same training without hinders from the recruit.
Make sure you PT as much as you can before you leave. I did and it payed off a lot. The DI'S can pick out the ones who didn't prepare from a mile away and you don't want to be that guy, I promise!
reminds me of my sergeant course back in my home country. we had many of these similar trainings and the only thing that kept us going was that badge of honor and our love ones faces at the end of the course. during a 2 week outfield exercise, we had topo, navigation, many different exercises like day and night raids, sentries, etc. on the halfway line of surviving 2 weeks living in the forest, we were called up for a section meeting, not knowing that we will be receiving a letter from our families. even the toughest men cry when reading their letters. had one bunk mate who lost his parents very young and was raised by an orphanage. his letter was from all the little kids living in his orphanage writing they want to be like big brother when they grow up and he broke down immediately.
The drill instructors were extremely mean and strict at first to build the recruits. But at the end we see they are humans with feelings, especially pride. They are truly one of the best people on the planet
Yeah almost ALL DIs are super passionate about their jobs and being able to train future soldiers. It’s just that they need to be “strict” for most of the time so they can become soldiers.
So what's the point in making exercises easier for women? Wouldn't that just make a group of weaker marines? I think that all should be tested equally with the whole pull-up and 1-1/2 mile deal.
Trint the tests are mostly to set at low standards just so that they can say women are able to enlist. with most women actually getting rejected from boot camp with already lower standards, the remaining few tend to leave after their first term anyway.
" It starts when a drill instructor steps on to the bus to welcome them to Paris Island " Drill instructor: *PICK YOUR HEADS UP AND LOOK AT ME RIGHT NOW!*
I remember Marine boot camp like it was yesterday. The drill instructors would beat us with sticks alone during what was known as office hours. The work was exhausting to the point of collapse especially for a 17-year-old boy who was 6 ft 142 lb. But the day I graduated was the proudest day of my life.
I will never forget when I landed on Parris Island and stood on those yellow footprints (14 Dec. 1994), through the day I crossed the Parade Deck and became a United States Marine (3 March 1995). This brings back a lot of memories... It takes weeks to turn a boy into a young man and a young man into a Marine. Such a story cannot be told in less than 1/2 an hour. This peek into the process is entertaining, but the real story is much more compelling. #Semper Fidelis
Damn I graduated 10-14-1994 platoon 2014! Thats pretty close to being there together at the same time, when u got there I was in I.T.B. And when did they get to use scopes on the rifle range lol?
@@stevemckenzie1216 That must be for 1st and 2nd Battalion... In 3rd Battalion, we had to be accurate with a rock before we were issued a slingshot, then a stick and finally a used rifle...
@@stevemckenzie1216 back in the day '79 - '84 it was peeps at 200, 300, and 500 meters. Standard issue from the armory with standard issue ammo. Smudge pots on the line.
My older brother joined the marines a few years ago. He's 25 now. He was such a big inspiration to me, and now I can see what he had to go through as a marine. I remember the day my brother came home from the airport to visit family for a few weeks. I cried my eyes out. And after he left, I cried to.. Then the day for them to come home was here. He decided to prank/ surprise us. He gathered a little boys hat that they wear in Afghanistan, and a blanket from the marines, and set it on our table. We came home to see the surprise he left us, but we didn't get it. Then, suddenly my mom burst into tears as she realized what it was and where it was from. My brother was staying at his friends house, as a hideout kind of a thing, and he lived right next to our house. Then, we saw him, crossing the road, coming home. And it was one of the happiest days of my life
Went there in 82 platoon 3006 3rd Bn, I Co. 39 years ago. It was one of the toughest, best things I’ve ever done. Not as mean, not as lean, but still a Marine.
As a former Air Force 3E871 EOD Tech I have the ultimate respect for all our branches of service, but you guys are amazing. As much as I loved the USAF, if I could do it again, I'd be a Marine. I thank every one of you for your service.
My brother is a Marine. He died June 29, 2017. He is my hero. Thank you for this video, I finally got to see what he did to become are Marine, and see some of the places he very well could have been and stood. God bless our Marines, God bless our military and God bless America!
Your brother is a hero to all! The Marines are the fiercest fighting force in the world, even though I did not know him personally, he was my brother too. Ooh rah
I remember when I was 12 years old my dad dropped me an my brother off at the Field House on Corry Station in Pensacola. As we were going in we saw a long line of Marines on their hands and knees "mowing" the grass of the quad by breaking off each blade by hand. The instructor was yelling "Lawn mowers make noise...MAKE NOISE!" Then they all had to break of the blades of grass and make lawn mower sounds. My brother and I about pissed ourselves laughing.
gblan just remember those men served for you and they didn’t have to so even if it may seem “ridiculous” to you it something they had to do to make sure your world is a safe place as safe as it can be
That ending got me tearing up. Even though I joined the army back in the day. We all share that feeling of accomplishment once we have gone thru our training and graduate. Best decision I ever made.
Due to health concerns I was not able to be a United States Marine. I give my hat and highest respect to the marines that defend and protect the United states against enemies from around the world.
It's NOT just the Marines that defend the United States against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic...it's ALL branches!! It's the United States Armed Forces!! Remember that!! Marines think they win wars all by themselves...they don't!!! Hooah!!
Burt Reynolds why do you have to be a dickhead, At least he had the balls to get a chance at it but due to a HEALTH CONCERN. It’s fucked to criticize someone for that
This is fantastic coverage. And you guys provide an absolute service. I'm in the Navy, I know Marines, I've talked to Marines about what it means to be a Marine, and I have way more respect for it after seeing this.
Not gonna lie, there's no way I would have been able to do what these young men and women did. MASSIVE respect for any person who has done this. I thank you all for your service. Semper Fi!!
Good Luck! As a fellow "Hollywood Marine" myself, it's something that you'll never forget...and something that you'll never want to do again! Semper Fi!
"The Eagle, Globe and Anchor is what sets Marines apart from other branches of service, who delineate themselves by occupational specialty or demonstrate allegiance to a specific unit through the wearing of a patch or symbol. The only symbol Marines recognize is the Eagle, Globe and Anchor. Receiving the emblem signifies that the recruits have earned the title of United States Marine." I'm 12 years removed from service and that quote is so true. It's all about those yellow footprints and if you had what it took to hack it or pack it. Semper Fi, do or die.
I served 97-05 and the big thing I noticed is WTF are they qualifying recruits with ACOGs on the rifle range. When we were finally issued ACOGs in the Fleet we were issued back up rear iron sights KAC micro w/ USMC engraved. That wasn’t till my 3rd deployment. One MEU pre 911 and 2 trips to the sandbox. It’s easy to teach how to operate and shoot with an ACOG, but first you must learn the basics with iron sights. Also all those exercises in the gas chamber were done without the mask and when instructed you could put it back on. I didn’t really see anybody coming out crying with snot coming out mouth and nose.
I cannot thank all the men and women enough, for their service to our country! You truly are an inspiration and example for of us to follow! Thank you!
I'm proud of all service members from every branch, I don't have that service rival like some folks do. I served in two branches and am proud of my service. Congrats to all these new Marines.
When my neighbours piss me off I crank that landing on Omaha Beach up full NOISE.....They freaking hate it.... Me?? I Loves It... watch out for them murder holes. Usually lasts for a few months before they start up again... CLASSIC.
When I was 16 I was hanging with the wrong crowd and got in trouble. Instead of going to prison I did 120 days in IMPACT which is a boot camp run by retired military. I’m 43 now, I still get up early make my bed have discipline and respect and motivated
I still remember watching my son graduate from here. Its such a beautiful place that's loaded with history, blood, sweat and tears. Thank you to all the men and women who are and have become US Marines. Semper Fi.
they also have it better when it comes to sharp big time if you're a male in the military be scared of them one wrong look and your military career is over. Story Time I knew a private a good friend of mine got asked out by this other woman soldier he turned her down and let's just say her and her friends lied wrote false reports and ruined him luckily he got kicked out without being court-martialed just one story too many to tell. Remember who are they going to believe a group full of soldiers or you being a man. Oh and the girl that did it guess what she got to go to ANY base she wanted and got a promotion 2 years before with no exceptional records true story.
Colton, most women will never bee in a combat MOS unless they signed up for it and pass all of the qualifications of that specific combat MOS. So women will probably not be dragging anyone off the battlefield but are trained to do so anyways. So I’m sorry but not only does your comment still sound sexist, it’s also riddled with ignorance.
They do. That Navy blue. That white hat. That gold. Sharp. That blood stripe on the pants is sick. That being said, one of the cool things about Marines is they don't dress up much at all. They do more with less.
@@blakes5827 True that it's also an easier uniform to prepare as Marines typically don't get some ribbon's and what not like the other branches. My nephew is on the ARMY and he has two rows already and he's only been in a little over 2 years.
Thank you all for your service. It's very unlikely I'll be accepted but im talking to a recruiter for my 3rd time now since 18 years old. I have confidence and faith it will happen. If anyone has advice on the crucible please let me know. I'd like to be the best prepared I can so I don't hold back my peers. My biggest worry is being that guy
To those considering, I say do it. To those that are afraid, embrace it and accept the challenge. To my brothers and sisters who have served and are serving, Semper Fi. Blood makes the grass grow green.
Lmfao I tried this when I sat down. My recruiter told me before I left that if I didnt say anything then he would shave my head bald. I sat down and shouted "Medium reg, high and tight" so began my journey of fuck fuck games
Platoon 2062. May 1986. Best time of my life. Started with 72. Graduated 38. The old receiving barracks, the 20 second haircut. And losing 20 pounds. Motivating as hell
My father was an ARMY soldier, although my dream job is to be a MARINE, as an 11 year old. I watch all types of these videos and have already learned so many things. I know it will be tough, but i am doing this for my country.
All I can say is marine boot camp was a very humbling experience, the first 3-4 days are a blur. Watching this video had me tearing up because of the flood of memories and emotions, especially when they showed the phone call home. As some has said in another comment, the drill instructors are actually pretty laid back and tame in front of the cameras compared to what it’s really like, nothing that is a danger to the recruits but they can definitely rip u down to nothing in a matter of minutes. When they say from this point forward I will eat sleep and train as a team, they mean it and u get punished as a team too. I loved my time in the marines and sometimes I miss it and wish I could go back but I’m getting to be too old and have too many medical issues, most of which are from my time in the marines. That said, I would do it all again if I could and the only thing I would change is that I wouldn’t have waited as long as I did to join. And I’d probably stay in longer and make a full career out of it.
@@certifiedfridge I joined I think a year and a half after highschool, I think I was 20 when I joined because my 21st birthday was spent on the grenade range at the School of Medicine infantry before MOS school. My medical issues range from chronic back pain to ptsd to digestive and dental issues and my knees are shot but the va won’t cover my knees or shoulders, I have developed severe sleep apnea that went undiagnosed until a few months ago. Because the va system sucks. I would do it all again and if it wasn’t for my medical issues I may even try to go back in. But things now a days from what I’ve seen on the news and other videos is it’s just not the same, there are too many political agendas and dumb asses posting stupid TikTok’s making every branch look bad and even people that are so disconnected from reality that I wouldn’t trust them to give me ride let alone protect my life in a combat situation.
There is a very interesting series about the Marines and Army during the Korean war. Many of the Marines that fought at Inchon and Chosin had never been to boot camp. They were reservists who had gone to a couple weeks of annual training, got called up and were sent to Korea where they filled the 1st Marine Division. Many were in the 5th Marine Regiment and made the landing at Inchon as soon as they arrived in Korea. Those non-boot Marine apparently did and outstanding job, based on OJT, they did not go to boot camp after they returned to the states. There were many of those reservist who were WWII combat vets and that may have had a great impact on those Marines who had little training before combat. I have interviewed Marines who fought on Iwo and who subsequently fought in Korea, and to a person they said Korea was much more difficult and brutal than Iwo. The first Marine Division, the 7th Army Division and the 3 Army Division, with the ROK 1st Division, did a pretty outstanding job at Chosin considering they overwhelming odds against them.
Just a few tips for those who are thinking of enlisting, my personal top ten in how to succeed 1 When starting your first day of boot camp, ask the NCOs when your promotion kicks in 2.When starting your first day of boot camp, ask the NCOs if there's free WIFI and coffee 3 When starting your first day of boot camp tell the NCOs you've decided to take the day off 4.When starting your first day of boot camp, tell the NCOs that your mother makes your bed 5 When addressed by NCOs, who've seen combat, tell them you've played tour of duty 6.When addressed by NCOs try to talk back if possible, they will love your independent spirit 7 When addressed by NCOs try to look them straight in the eye, always try to stand out 8 When addressed by NCOs try to have a blame the other guy mentality, hey, it's never you 9.When addressed by NCOs try whining if your not happy with your duties, they understand 10 When addressed by NCOs, let them know your are not an early riser, until your first coffee So there you have it, the top ten ways to impress the NCOs and Officers. lol

Boot camp is about 90 % mentality and 10 % physical. If you can handle somebody yelling at you and telling you that absolutely everything that you do is wrong, you can make it. It's not easy but it's definitely worth it.
KG What if someone already does that to you everyday?
@@rosettekinney8587 ikr my dad is exactly like that so I'm not worried about the yelling part I'm just worried about the sprinting and the aiming lol

Yes, I had a friend who recently passed away from brain cancer, and all he wanted to be was a Marine. He had a disability when he was born. After high school he went to the marine recruit office in San Antonio, and they told him “no”. It crushed him. I told him, “my friend, people won’t even talk to a recruiter or walk into a recruiting office to get information. Be proud that you went and the Marines to you no. You tough and braver than me.” That lifted his spirits. Before he passed away he was made an honorary marine.
i have epilepsy i know the feeling. cards are dealt to you at birth. some get a good hand others no luck
That’s a great story.
My cousin was A Marine RIP MAUNDA MARTIN. It's a shame that the STREETS OF DETROIT TOOK his life years after he got out.
I hate to admit it...BUT...UNN UNNN!
That's something to be proud of.
I remember the whole Paris Island scene, and the entire 12 weeks of recruit training. I remember my service number, and my platoon...platoon 342..3rd Recruit Training Battalion. It was a sweltering hot South Carolina night in late June, 1963, when we got off that bus, and my life changed forever. I was 18, recently graduated from high school. That was almost 57 years ago. You never forget. Never. And you never forget the pride you felt on graduation day after recruit training, before going to Camp Geiger for infantry training. I was initially a reservist, then transferred to the regular Marine Corps, saw combat in Vietnam (1967-68), discharged a Sgt in 1970. The best friends I ever had were in the Marine Corps. We were like brothers. You just never forget. I am 75 years old, and I still get chills when I hear the Marine Corps hymn, and see Old Glory blowing in the wind. God bless America, our country and our home. The word "USMC" is tattooed on my right forearm since 1966, and I wear it with pride. Semper Fi.
Thank you for your service, Sir 👏
Do or Die Brother.
Thank you for your service sir
Thank you for your service, and sharing your story! Beautiful! God Bless you Sir!
Thank you my friend for your service. my father served in usaf. but the USMC first in last out.

My brother was a Marine. He went to bootcamp back in 2014-2015, I was only 8 or 9 at the time. We never got along but I missed him while he was away at Paris Island. When I saw him for the first time in 12 weeks I cried, harder than I ever have before. (I'm crying again lol) Seeing videos like these (of which I'm obsessed with) makes me realize that what he went through was so tough. I'm always a little prouder of him and have a little more respect whenever I see a video like this. He was medically discharged but it doesn't change how proud I am of him. He's the reason why I'm pushing myself to be better, and the only reason why I'm thinking of joining the military here in 2024-2025.
Thank you, bro, for making me a better person.

“It’s alright to cry” the most powerful and emotional words ever spoken by a marine. ❤️
A true warrior endures the elements in the heat of battle, and fights with sweat, blood, and tears. Great Respect and Honor is the victors. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I cry from time to time, doesn't mean I won't stab you in the fucking neck. Some losses take a toll on you.

@Matt Smith I'm a 29 year combat veteran. I know what my mission was and the mission of my brothers in arms. When I was in Afghanistan, we were protecting the innocent from the ultra pious. For my efforts, little girls in Afghanistan can go to school and learn to read without worry someone will throw acid in their faces for that "crime". I headed up an effort from my home unit that gathered over a ton of paper, pencils, notebooks, backpacks for the same schools. To say we shouldn't help is to observe the suffering of others, to observe the 12% literacy rate among women in Afghanistan and to say "Oh well, it is their culture and it is just as good as mine - just different". So, go on and read your little book while brave men help change the world for the better.

Marines are badass to the core. I know I couldn't have done this sort of training. Anyone who can get through Marine boot camp has my respect, because that takes some serious guts, willpower, discipline, and teamwork. Props to all of the Marines- past and present- no matter where they are in the world.
You'd be surprised. The Marines have been doing this for literally over 100 years. They have the psychology really dialed in The DI's are some of the most impressive people on the planet. If you have a decent attitude and moderate physical fitness, they will make you. You show up with just the minimums physically, life will be hard there. But entirely doable.

But this is all easy
I feel like it was yesterday 1984 that I was in boot camp. Then my son 30 years later in the same battalion and company as I. When I went to his graduation I entered my old squad bay from 1984 which was the same one he occupied. What a moment of pride for me to see him follow my footsteps.
They hate when you say that😊
For those considering joining after watching this vid, just understand that when the cameras are on, the drill instructors are on their best behavior. Much more intense and demanding when the mothers of America are not watching.
Broooo.....
I just wanted to get an idea of would it could be like
Mothers of America suck ass
As they should be. Your momma can't save you, you gotta learn to do it yourself.
thats why american are always bitching becuse of weak mothers are alwsy there to tell thm they did okay. even when they are fat..they are not lol.

I need to see more S A S recruitment in action
But it is 🙄
Everyone should go into the. Service for at least two years. God bless.
I moved to Arizona just before Summer 2019. In May, I became homeless, someone stole my car I was living out of, so I went and bought a bike. Rode the bike to the gym, someone stole my bike. Went and bought another bike. Sure there were days when I didn't have food, but this Marine fought through... Today April 24, 2020 I have my own apartment. It may be empty at the moment, but I shall have everything the devil stole from me. Receiving my EGA as a Recruit (Recruit 42), this Marine utilized a lot that was taught during basic training at USMCRD Parris, Island to make it through the tough days living on the streets. Marines push through, we get the job done. Period. Platoon 1042 Bravo Company 1st Battalion...eyes forward Marine! We have a job to do!!! Ooo-Rah
Oohrah
I hope your life gets better bro and you get off the street.. what will get you through is mental toughness...
This needs more likes. I’m so proud of you.
I feel for you brother as I was in a similar situation. You are an inspiration to other people. I know you're telling the truth because Marines(especially recruits)refer to themselves in the third person. I was a Navy Corpsman and later in life as a civilian I was homeless for 8 years. I'm low income but at least I have a nice studio apartment, and a car, that unfortunately has just about had it. I'll be without one soon but I don't live too far away from the store and hospital. I hate the way homeless vets are stereotyped. This is what a lot of people, not all but a lot of them think about homeless vets. "You're homeless because you are a drug addict and/or an alcoholic, you spent all your money or got kicked out of your place." For some vets that's true but not all of us. Some of us have had situations beyond our control that resulted in homelessness. For me, I quit my job to take care of my father who had senile dementia. I had worked in nursing homes previously and I knew if it was possible he was never going in one. I was able to do this for 8 years before my health deteriorated and I could no longer take care of him they way he needed to be. I used my savings until they were gone and when he had to go in a nursing home I became homeless. As my mother and brother had died several years before this I was the only one left and I would take care of him again if I had to and was able. He had a granddaughter and my brothers wife was still alive and healthy but in 8 years I never got any help from either one of them despite my father giving them both thousands of dollars after my brother died. Like you I didn't give up.
I'm Back l
"Congratulations, it's alright to cry" in such a soft, caring, and proud parental voice after having that same person literally tear you down to your absolute core for weeks would be enough to make anyone cry i think.

I look back at this video to remind myself of the trials I went through to earn the title of US Marine. I shipped out May 3rd, 2021 and graduated August 8th. I will be forever grateful of my drill instructors for helping me become the Marine I am today. My favorite part of boot camp was the confidence course and the O-course. My favorite drill instructor handed me my EGA and told all of us the one thing we did the best at throughout our time as recruits. I held back my tears but man did I want to cry. I can't wait to see the other Marines that come out of boot camp and make it to the fleet
Hope you’re doing fine now, I graduated bootcamp not too long ago (December 17th 2021), currently at my mos school waiting on classes, where ever you are I wish you well; Semper Fi

Much respect to him
I call bullshit. You can only get 1 purple heart it doesn't matter if you did 1 tour or 10.

I'm 69, a former Marine of the Vietnam conflict, a twenty-year veteran of the Texas State Police and honorably retired from both services. Nobody can win EVERY fight and I have been beat down many times in the past but always got back up. My age has caught up with me and I am right this moment 12 weeks recovering from a shoulder replacement surgery directly related to my cop job. In short, I'm a mess and have a daily reminder of the path I chose but I can honestly say that while viewing this video I completely forgot the pain my shoulder and back give me every day. I suppose those who chose a more sedate lifestyle might be much more comfortable at my age, but I wouldn't have it any other way. My son followed me in (USMC) in '08 and no dad could ask for more. My dad was an Army Air Corp veteran of WW II. Our family has done our share and it's good to know that there is still a bunch of Americans willing to do theirs! Ohhhhh Rahhhh. Semper Fi!

My uncle was a Staff Sgt. on Parris Is. and the toughest human who ever lived (or at least well up there in the ranks) and one of the nicest. I grew up hunting, fishing and shooting with him (he was grinning ear to ear on the day when I broke 75 straight on the trap range. I was about 14 and my arms were killing me). Never heard him raise his voice or say anything unkind about anyone. He had nothing to prove to others and everyone sort of felt his inner strength. He fought through 2 wars was wounded and decorated but never talked about any of it. When he was dying he said that he would hold on long enough for me to get to his bedside and, once again, he kept his word.
Beautiful

My brother said this video only had the nice parts
When I went thru basic, one of the kids in my class literally shit his pants during indoc... idk if he was scared or what but the drill instructors called him out on it because it smelled like absolute shit in the room, I felt so bad for him, they even made him turn around and sure enough when he did there was a giant shit stain on his ass. Nobody even thought of laughing or even smiling because the instructors had us on our feet the entire time and god only knows what would have happened if someone did laugh out loud. He wound up making it all the way thru but I can’t even begin to imagine how embarrassing that must have been for him, and that reputation probably followed him thru his entire career in the military.
He's not kidding I went to boot camp in May 2003. Second battalion Fox company platoon 2066. I did two tours in Iraq in support of OIF II and III. They eased up on the PFT requirements and rifle qualifications. I wish we had acogs in boot camp lucky bastards! We still had Vietnam era equipment in boot. Wtf!

I was pretty successful except the husband part.
lmao! what did you do?
My husband is a Gunny. I wanted to join with him before we were married because I hated school and wanted to do something special. They didn't take me because of Crohn's Disease. My husband was furious and wanted to get it waived, but at that point I didn't want to be part of them if they didn't want me so I just finished school. My husband will say he loves everything about the USMC... except they way they treated his wife. I could've easily done all of this and served my country well. Our military needs to review its selectivity policies.
I feel the same hahahahahaha
Addy C: I understand you but you’re wrong. Mental and physical diseases slow down the process to becoming a Marine. Marines need to get the same training without hinders from the recruit.

reminds me of my sergeant course back in my home country. we had many of these similar trainings and the only thing that kept us going was that badge of honor and our love ones faces at the end of the course.
during a 2 week outfield exercise, we had topo, navigation, many different exercises like day and night raids, sentries, etc. on the halfway line of surviving 2 weeks living in the forest, we were called up for a section meeting, not knowing that we will be receiving a letter from our families. even the toughest men cry when reading their letters.
had one bunk mate who lost his parents very young and was raised by an orphanage. his letter was from all the little kids living in his orphanage writing they want to be like big brother when they grow up and he broke down immediately.

So what's the point in making exercises easier for women? Wouldn't that just make a group of weaker marines? I think that all should be tested equally with the whole pull-up and 1-1/2 mile deal.
it doesnt matter what is easier for them in boot because when they try out for mos's like infantry and stuff they usually dont get through.
Watermelon Maid Yeah I thought about that afterwards. I'm guessing this is like a "baseline test".
Trint the tests are mostly to set at low standards just so that they can say women are able to enlist. with most women actually getting rejected from boot camp with already lower standards, the remaining few tend to leave after their first term anyway.
Trint they are built different

I remember Marine boot camp like it was yesterday. The drill instructors would beat us with sticks alone during what was known as office hours. The work was exhausting to the point of collapse especially for a 17-year-old boy who was 6 ft 142 lb. But the day I graduated was the proudest day of my life.

I will never forget when I landed on Parris Island and stood on those yellow footprints (14 Dec. 1994), through the day I crossed the Parade Deck and became a United States Marine (3 March 1995). This brings back a lot of memories... It takes weeks to turn a boy into a young man and a young man into a Marine. Such a story cannot be told in less than 1/2 an hour. This peek into the process is entertaining, but the real story is much more compelling.

My older brother joined the marines a few years ago. He's 25 now. He was such a big inspiration to me, and now I can see what he had to go through as a marine. I remember the day my brother came home from the airport to visit family for a few weeks. I cried my eyes out. And after he left, I cried to.. Then the day for them to come home was here. He decided to prank/ surprise us. He gathered a little boys hat that they wear in Afghanistan, and a blanket from the marines, and set it on our table. We came home to see the surprise he left us, but we didn't get it. Then, suddenly my mom burst into tears as she realized what it was and where it was from. My brother was staying at his friends house, as a hideout kind of a thing, and he lived right next to our house. Then, we saw him, crossing the road, coming home. And it was one of the happiest days of my life

"Most people go through their whole lives wondering if they've made a difference. Marines don't have that problem." --- Ronald Reagan
lmao...okay
Question is just difference for good or difference for bad...
"lmao...okay"? Dial it back there hotshot
They make a difference alright. For better or for worse? they don't have brains large enough to figure that one out, not anymore anyway.
You've got some nice bait there. Catch any upset people yet?
Went there in 82 platoon 3006 3rd Bn, I Co. 39 years ago. It was one of the toughest, best things I’ve ever done. Not as mean, not as lean, but still a Marine.
As a former Air Force 3E871 EOD Tech I have the ultimate respect for all our branches of service, but you guys are amazing. As much as I loved the USAF, if I could do it again, I'd be a Marine. I thank every one of you for your service.
My brother is a Marine. He died June 29, 2017. He is my hero. Thank you for this video, I finally got to see what he did to become are Marine, and see some of the places he very well could have been and stood. God bless our Marines, God bless our military and God bless America!
He will forever be a hero.
ellis_ellis_ellis 75 respect and Honor
Adriana Clouston you have a such a good heart
Your brother is a hero to all! The Marines are the fiercest fighting force in the world, even though I did not know him personally, he was my brother too. Ooh rah
ellis_ellis_ellis 75 haha
I remember when I was 12 years old my dad dropped me an my brother off at the Field House on Corry Station in Pensacola. As we were going in we saw a long line of Marines on their hands and knees "mowing" the grass of the quad by breaking off each blade by hand. The instructor was yelling "Lawn mowers make noise...MAKE NOISE!" Then they all had to break of the blades of grass and make lawn mower sounds. My brother and I about pissed ourselves laughing.
😂😂
gblan just remember those men served for you and they didn’t have to so even if it may seem “ridiculous” to you it something they had to do to make sure your world is a safe place as safe as it can be
What ever those recruits did to get in that situation, I bet they won't do it again.
Shaylyn Olson ok, he's just joking about it, he's not saying it's ridiculous or shaming the recruits, I'm sure he's still thankful for their service
@Owen Collawn The fuck is your problem? How about you calm down?
That ending got me tearing up. Even though I joined the army back in the day. We all share that feeling of accomplishment once we have gone thru our training and graduate. Best decision I ever made.
I'd be the person that asks the instructor when can I customize my loadout.
Same lol

Due to health concerns I was not able to be a United States Marine. I give my hat and highest respect to the marines that defend and protect the United states against enemies from around the world.
Same here brother.
It's NOT just the Marines that defend the United States against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic...it's ALL branches!! It's the United States Armed Forces!! Remember that!! Marines think they win wars all by themselves...they don't!!! Hooah!!
Burt Reynolds why do you have to be a dickhead, At least he had the balls to get a chance at it but due to a HEALTH CONCERN. It’s fucked to criticize someone for that
Burt Reynolds you sound dumb as hell
@Burt Reynolds Uh oh, tough guy over here🙄
This is fantastic coverage. And you guys provide an absolute service. I'm in the Navy, I know Marines, I've talked to Marines about what it means to be a Marine, and I have way more respect for it after seeing this.
Not gonna lie, there's no way I would have been able to do what these young men and women did.
MASSIVE respect for any person who has done this. I thank you all for your service. Semper Fi!!

Good luck Hollywood Marine. You'll love the weather but I hear the people in charge are not exactly the pleasant type. Lol!
Good Luck! As a fellow "Hollywood Marine" myself, it's something that you'll never forget...and something that you'll never want to do again! Semper Fi!
Good luck bro! From an Air Force veteran, I can say the military is where you meet the best people in the world.
Yet, your screen name is Joseph Stalin... I have a feeling you are joking.
"The Eagle, Globe and Anchor is what sets Marines apart from other branches of service, who delineate themselves by occupational specialty or demonstrate allegiance to a specific unit through the wearing of a patch or symbol. The only symbol Marines recognize is the Eagle, Globe and Anchor. Receiving the emblem signifies that the recruits have earned the title of United States Marine." I'm 12 years removed from service and that quote is so true. It's all about those yellow footprints and if you had what it took to hack it or pack it. Semper Fi, do or die.
I served 97-05 and the big thing I noticed is WTF are they qualifying recruits with ACOGs on the rifle range. When we were finally issued ACOGs in the Fleet we were issued back up rear iron sights KAC micro w/ USMC engraved. That wasn’t till my 3rd deployment. One MEU pre 911 and 2 trips to the sandbox.
It’s easy to teach how to operate and shoot with an ACOG, but first you must learn the basics with iron sights. Also all those exercises in the gas chamber were done without the mask and when instructed you could put it back on. I didn’t really see anybody coming out crying with snot coming out mouth and nose.

I'm proud of all service members from every branch, I don't have that service rival like some folks do. I served in two branches and am proud of my service. Congrats to all these new Marines.

Usually lasts for a few months before they start up again... CLASSIC.
I was like “why did that sound like Tom Hanks ”
When I was 16 I was hanging with the wrong crowd and got in trouble. Instead of going to prison I did 120 days in IMPACT which is a boot camp run by retired military. I’m 43 now, I still get up early make my bed have discipline and respect and motivated
I still remember watching my son graduate from here. Its such a beautiful place that's loaded with history, blood, sweat and tears. Thank you to all the men and women who are and have become US Marines. Semper Fi.

Whose cutting onions
Heartwarming
I got choked up just watching. Nostalgia.. Paris Island 1987! 2nd Battalion OohRah!

Is it crazy that watching this makes me very much so want to join the Marines? And just the military in general?

The difference between women and men in the millitary is insane...
Cristiano ik its saddening
Cristiano you’re rite woman have it way better
For real. Not to be sexist though, but wouldn’t you rather have someone who can carry you off the battlefield carry off the battlefield?
they also have it better when it comes to sharp big time if you're a male in the military be scared of them one wrong look and your military career is over. Story Time I knew a private a good friend of mine got asked out by this other woman soldier he turned her down and let's just say her and her friends lied wrote false reports and ruined him luckily he got kicked out without being court-martialed just one story too many to tell. Remember who are they going to believe a group full of soldiers or you being a man. Oh and the girl that did it guess what she got to go to ANY base she wanted and got a promotion 2 years before with no exceptional records true story.
Colton, most women will never bee in a combat MOS unless they signed up for it and pass all of the qualifications of that specific combat MOS. So women will probably not be dragging anyone off the battlefield but are trained to do so anyways. So I’m sorry but not only does your comment still sound sexist, it’s also riddled with ignorance.
Marines have the best dress uniform
SomeRandomDude ! They do!!
I wore that shit like 2 times in 6 years lol. Most the time you be wearing a shit suit smelling like a week worth of ball sweat lol enjoy
SomeRandomDude ! Royal marine dress uniforms >
They do. That Navy blue. That white hat. That gold. Sharp. That blood stripe on the pants is sick.
That being said, one of the cool things about Marines is they don't dress up much at all. They do more with less.
@@blakes5827 True that it's also an easier uniform to prepare as Marines typically don't get some ribbon's and what not like the other branches. My nephew is on the ARMY and he has two rows already and he's only been in a little over 2 years.
Thank you all for your service. It's very unlikely I'll be accepted but im talking to a recruiter for my 3rd time now since 18 years old. I have confidence and faith it will happen. If anyone has advice on the crucible please let me know. I'd like to be the best prepared I can so I don't hold back my peers. My biggest worry is being that guy
To those considering, I say do it. To those that are afraid, embrace it and accept the challenge. To my brothers and sisters who have served and are serving, Semper Fi. Blood makes the grass grow green.

Watching this documentary is very addictive. To all the Marines serving our country, thank you for your service...🦅🌎⚓...🇺🇲
21:33, one of the best days of my life. By the way, HELL YEAH I CRIED! Every Marine should cry when they get their Eagle, Globe and Anchor.
Platoon 2062. May 1986. Best time of my life. Started with 72. Graduated 38. The old receiving barracks, the 20 second haircut. And losing 20 pounds. Motivating as hell
Different time but almost the same, platoon 3036 january 1999, started 72 and graduated only 35.
About the same. Platoon 2092, graduated January '82. Started 75, graduated 45.
As a Canadian I have mad respect for these brave men and women
My father was an ARMY soldier, although my dream job is to be a MARINE, as an 11 year old. I watch all types of these videos and have already learned so many things. I know it will be tough, but i am doing this for my country.
Aim for special forces, not this.
Just get good and running and don’t be a bitch that’s literally all you need
At running
U.S. ARMY INFANTRY
@@thebestever42 you’re not going into special forces right off the bat I can tell you that right now
All I can say is marine boot camp was a very humbling experience, the first 3-4 days are a blur. Watching this video had me tearing up because of the flood of memories and emotions, especially when they showed the phone call home. As some has said in another comment, the drill instructors are actually pretty laid back and tame in front of the cameras compared to what it’s really like, nothing that is a danger to the recruits but they can definitely rip u down to nothing in a matter of minutes. When they say from this point forward I will eat sleep and train as a team, they mean it and u get punished as a team too. I loved my time in the marines and sometimes I miss it and wish I could go back but I’m getting to be too old and have too many medical issues, most of which are from my time in the marines. That said, I would do it all again if I could and the only thing I would change is that I wouldn’t have waited as long as I did to join. And I’d probably stay in longer and make a full career out of it.
what age did you join? considering myself. also medical issues from your time? can you elaborate?
@@certifiedfridge I joined I think a year and a half after highschool, I think I was 20 when I joined because my 21st birthday was spent on the grenade range at the School of Medicine infantry before MOS school. My medical issues range from chronic back pain to ptsd to digestive and dental issues and my knees are shot but the va won’t cover my knees or shoulders, I have developed severe sleep apnea that went undiagnosed until a few months ago. Because the va system sucks. I would do it all again and if it wasn’t for my medical issues I may even try to go back in. But things now a days from what I’ve seen on the news and other videos is it’s just not the same, there are too many political agendas and dumb asses posting stupid TikTok’s making every branch look bad and even people that are so disconnected from reality that I wouldn’t trust them to give me ride let alone protect my life in a combat situation.
Can we seriously appreciate these men and women who have to go through this to keep us safe and free
There is a very interesting series about the Marines and Army during the Korean war. Many of the Marines that fought at Inchon and Chosin had never been to boot camp. They were reservists who had gone to a couple weeks of annual training, got called up and were sent to Korea where they filled the 1st Marine Division. Many were in the 5th Marine Regiment and made the landing at Inchon as soon as they arrived in Korea. Those non-boot Marine apparently did and outstanding job, based on OJT, they did not go to boot camp after they returned to the states. There were many of those reservist who were WWII combat vets and that may have had a great impact on those Marines who had little training before combat. I have interviewed Marines who fought on Iwo and who subsequently fought in Korea, and to a person they said Korea was much more difficult and brutal than Iwo. The first Marine Division, the 7th Army Division and the 3 Army Division, with the ROK 1st Division, did a pretty outstanding job at Chosin considering they overwhelming odds against them.
You're not free
Meanwhile The Party continues to infringe on freedom
Damn 21:39 literally brought a tear. I'm not in any type of recruit but DAMN that was powerful. Even I felt that
Respect to each and everyone of these young mens & womens for there willingness and giving there all to be a Marine, God bless you all.
Just a few tips for those who are thinking of enlisting, my personal top ten in how to succeed
1 When starting your first day of boot camp, ask the NCOs when your promotion kicks in
2.When starting your first day of boot camp, ask the NCOs if there's free WIFI and coffee
3 When starting your first day of boot camp tell the NCOs you've decided to take the day off
4.When starting your first day of boot camp, tell the NCOs that your mother makes your bed
5 When addressed by NCOs, who've seen combat, tell them you've played tour of duty
6.When addressed by NCOs try to talk back if possible, they will love your independent spirit
7 When addressed by NCOs try to look them straight in the eye, always try to stand out
8 When addressed by NCOs try to have a blame the other guy mentality, hey, it's never you
9.When addressed by NCOs try whining if your not happy with your duties, they understand
10 When addressed by NCOs, let them know your are not an early riser, until your first coffee
So there you have it, the top ten ways to impress the NCOs and Officers. lol
This guy obviously got a daily ass kicking
YOUR SO BAD!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
