- 500 recruits finish the USMC Cruciable. Formal ceremony in which they officials become US Marines. PRODUCED BY WSIL-TV. Mike Snuffer Producer and Photographer - Reported by Dennis Turner
I cried the day I became a Marine, I remember being outside the barracks that morning. Later that day we marched across the parade deck. I couldn't believe it man! I was a Marine. That was over 30 years ago, and I still cry when I think about it...
Respect ✊
I'm three years late to reply, I graduate highschool in December I am currently losing weight and studying for meps, once I become poolee, I'll be off to MCRDSD after a week or two after my graduation. I told myself that I knew I won't be the same and to enjoy who I am right now because I will be reborn once I earn the title of Marine

Same poolee east cost MA. Day of boot camp August 22th. 72 ASVAP finished MEPS Yesterday. Got CC as M.O.S. God speed to you. You got this.
@@atreussonofhippodamia9182 You can do it. Both of my boys are Marines. Older of the two wasn't pudgy but, slightly shorter and had more meat on his bones than his baby brother who is 6 ft-1in and lanky. He was all muscles and very fit the day of graduation. Same for his baby brother. Went in lanky but came out fit and muscular. Whatever your weight, just know, you will be whipped into shape
Absolutely. We finished the Crucible on November 16th, 1997. That Sunday morning...I'll never forget it. I actually had a partially torn hamstring I was hiding and one of my good platoon mates Pvt. Gamez helped me up the Grim Reaper. Getting that EGA pinned on my chest when some members of my own family didn't think I'd finish...it just meant the world to me. Those tears tell a real story and those young Devil Pups deserve props for enduring, especially in this new world. It takes something different to still WANT to be a Marine.
Props to the little guys. Always in the back of the formation constantly having to run when the accordion effect is always going on with the formation.
good point. That guy probably had it worse than any other marine over there. He is a beast.
Yeah, I was one of those guys. That shit sucked but I'd pay to go thru it again.
Oooohraaaa lil end !!!
To Little End: Fuck ya boys
From: Big End
I was one of the small ones. That sucked major ass.
The only time a marine can cry
No you may also Cry once your son also becomes a Marine
Hidden Credit u dumb.
I saw a documentary on the Chosin Reservoir, perhaps the most brutal battle in the history of the USMC. One of the old vets said something like this “you know they say real men don’t cry. Well I can tell you that is bullshit. When you are hurting, you cry....”
I think toughest for me was the confidence course
@Sherman adventures how tf are they dumb for that? A marine can cry for his son following in his footsteps and fighting for his country. He doesn't even have to cry to be proud..
our son... he is one semester to a business degree... dropped out of college to join the u.s. marines... he left and didn't tell us... and i,m glad he didnt. he is currently at san diego mcrd on his 5th week of boot camp. God bless him...God bless the u.s. marines...God bless the united states of america
Business degree would've been better. Now he will be a pawn for the government.
Lork Lorkman someone that wants to join that bad will enjoy their entire time of service HELPING those like you live a safe life
He should of went OCS and became an officer... smh
Lork Lorkman I used to work with a guy that had an MBA. I was his service manager at the Tire and Lube Express. So that degree wasn’t doing much for him.
khapsha1000 Respect is gained. Officers can get respect if they earn it
Watching my son get his EAGLE,GLOBE and ANCHOR pin was the proudest moment of my life.He left home a child and came home a man.God bless our military, and God bless America. Thank you all for your service to our country. 🇺🇸
Cash .. man that almost made me cry
same
The little Guy has a big heart, and He proved what He is made of. I hope He has a great tour of duty. He loves His Country, His Family, and His beloved Marine Corp.
Semper Fidelis means "Always Faithful". Get ya shit straight.
FFEMTB08 Lol It can also translate to "Always Loyal"
Maybe so, but Marines don't say Always Loyal, we say Always Faithful. It's wrong in the context of this video.
As a Marine myself, Don't say Always "Loyal". I don't care what you think it could mean, we say Always "faithful."
The OP means “semper” not “seper” as in the incorrect caption at 0:24.
From the minute I got off the bus at Parris island Semper Fidelis is drilled into your head - Always Faithful - that 9 weeks in ‘79 changed me & my life for the better I’m extremely proud to have a Son & Daughter both become Marines
I am 5'8 and was in the Corps. You would be surprised how small some guys were. Many of them were Mexican or Asian and could fight just as hard as anyone else.
This is encouraging. I'm only 5'7 looking to go in.
@@officialthomasjamesI am 5'5." You will be fine
why should these men be ashamed of tears?my father was one bad ass marine and I know he cried when he was finally called marine!!he fought to become a member of the greatest family on earth!!semper fi daddy!!!!rest in peace devil dog!!!
bensgerl86 ott daddy ? Are you gay
Bryan Morton More than likely he's not cuz he said Marines not Navy. Damn, the ignorance of people astounds me.
911 Responder Films Bryan is a random troll and should be disregarded. I served as a Marine Myself and the other day when I recieved a letter from My Son that He wrote Me to confirm that He successfully passed the Crucible and earned His Marine title I shed a tear too. I am flying out next week to watch My Son graduate.
@@grill.daddy_3433 Without the NAVY you MARINES, our fellow service brothers in arms, whom i shredded blood, sweat, and, respect with, would have all been left dead or dying in the field, had it not been for a NAVY CORPSMAN. Ignorance is bliss... D. Josten HM3 U.S. Navy.....
I still remember the feeling when SDI SSgt Rowe gave me my EGA 20 years ago and can still hear the words that he said. It is a very emotional moment when you cross that line and become a Marine. Semper Fi!
Just showed this to one of my male students who needed motivation. I told him "what makes you special, that you think you're the only one who's not going to face obstacles to get to your goal?" It helped him, thanks for posting.
As a Filipino citizen I am very proud of you jhonny cash...
Oorah Marines 💪 💪 💪
This motivates me so much. I’m planned to leave this August and it’s been a struggle to lose the weight and get into the physical shape I need to be. Being a United States Marine is my dream and I hope I can serve and make everybody proud one day. Respect to everyone that is a Marine.
Did you make it?
I lost the weight to become a Marine
The thought of being at the top of the reaper like a warrior victorious in battle and hearing a drill instructor calling me a Marine for the first time is what motivates me.
I cried my eyes out because I was just glad it was over and I got to see my mom!!!! Ended up retiring and having a great career!!
The memories ..... I went through in Jan 2001. graduated April 6th 2001. Went to school of infantry. Then to 2/7 1st Marine Division.. I'd do it all over again. Semper Fi
gmarine221981 you're kidding. I was in 2/7 fox company in that time also
Thank you for your service, I plan on being a Marine a year after college
@Felix Garcia negative
I went in July 2001 w/ 3rd Btln India Co Plt 3096 graduation Oct 12th 2001. SOI, MCT Hotel CO. Then to Comms 29 Stump, then 1/9 Comm Btln. MOS 0621 Semper Fi Brothers and Sister. Stay Motto, Stay Salty, and above all else Stay Disciplined! Raaaah.
Wow, a 5 feet tall marine! I'm impress!
I'm five feet tall I'm joining so what?
rohli estrada they say Marines grow to 10 ft tall
cigarmikey No. their balls do
"I didn't know they stacked crap that high!" Yes, I know Sgt. Hartman said something different but I don't swear, I think it's pointless and it's also rude
when they're smacking against your mamas ass they do, 2K YBN.
Mad props to the short guy
These are what sustains the Brotherhood of the Marines...each generation is the same and has been since 1775....each generation standing on the shoulders of those that went before... once you know that you've earned your place as a Marine it is an emotional experience to be one of the few ,the proud, the Marines....i would be proud to go to war with any one of them....Semper Fidelis My Brothers
That is so hardcore..respect to all of them..I’m not in the military, but I have so much respect for these guys who put it on the line everyday to keep my home safe. Thank you Marines. From a greatfull US Citizen!
Congratulations! Semper Fi. I went through MCRD San Diego PLT 2013 1975
What an amazing experience! In my day it wasn’t called the crucible but it was still an amazing and proud moment in all Marines life. Still makes me cry watching this! Semper Fi !!
The Best feeling in the world earning the title United States Marine. Nobody can ever take away that Title.
I don't know why, I never cried up top the Crucible, it just felt like another obstacle to be accomplished and that it was never going to end 😂
July 18 I'm ready.. let's do this!
July 25th MCRD
TaCtIcSfTw1 MCRD Marine Corps Recruit Depot
"MCRD What?" refers to him asking if he was going to San Diego or Parris Island
Michael Yack oh ok
Well that fucken sucked! But hey I'm officially a Marine, I made it!!
I don’t remember crying when I received my EGA. All I was thinking was, hot chow, some good sleep, and graduate.
Maybe it’s because I’m getting older, but the longer I’m in the military (USAF 15 years so far), the more appreciative I am of all service members in all branches of the United States military. Each one of you voluntarily signed that dotted line, raised your right hand, swore an oath to the Constitution, and earned your place as a US service member. We all like to poke fun at opposing military services or at different military career fields, but at the end of the day, we each have a job to do and WE DO IT WELL!!! To the Marines featured in this video: welcome to the largest, most-rewarding fraternity you could have ever joined.
I took my training at San Diego in 1968 . Seeing this clip of guys finishing boot camp still gets to me. Like the guy said the pride of what you just accomplished is really something. I cried just watching it.
i cant wait until my husband gets his, i know he will feel so relieved and proud of himself.
I appreciate and applaud you all. Thank you for your service and God bless!
I’m so proud of my uncle James Dixon, he graduated from Camp Pendleton as a Navajo Code Talker.
REAL men cry ( ***saluting*** the Marines). My 1st year in college, a guy said "... I'm joining the Marines..." the BEST thing that I've ever heard. Navy & Army Veteran
it was the first time I smiled while in boot camp, smiled and laughed but never cried, anxious and my heart pounding hard, everyone has different reactions to emotions
I’m watching this video right now as my son is going though it right now . God bless them and all the men and women that sacrifice so much to protect us … in a few moments I’ll be a real MoM
I remember falling asleep during the ceremony lmao, DI was literally 2 inches to my face when I woke up "are you sleeping?" he said.
Would’ve said I’m trying to hold back tears sir 😂
I remember the day we reached the top of the Reaper and heading down to get our Warrior breakfast. In 2001 we actually didn't get our EGA until Family Day on the parade deck back at the Depot. Semper Fi Marines, Old, New and Future. Stay Salty, Stay Motto and above all else Stay Disciplined!
My older boy graduated in 2006. The EGA ceremony took place on family day then as well. My younger boy graduated in January 2022. I was a little disappointed to learn that it was done during the last day of the crucible. Like many other parents, I was looking forward witnessing that take place
I earned the title dec 29 2017. 1bn Bravo co. Platoon 1031. Greatest day of my life. Your hungry, tired, just out of gas. In the end it's all worth it
this was my company I'm in there somewhere.
Only people who go through all of this would truly understand. Respect 🇺🇸
Man is still feel the emotion from 12 years from ago.
Thank you for you're service
Semper Fi Marines, from a Marine of yesteryear 1969 - 1973 Ooorah !!!!
Oct 2001 - Oct 2006 - 09 reserve. OORAH !!! Yesteryear ONCE A MARINE ALWAYS A MARINE !!!! Semper Fidelis Marines.
I teared up. Went through boot in the summer of ‘99. I was in MRP for 6 weeks extra on top of the 13 weeks. Broke a bone in my hand. I’m pretty stoic but I bawled my eyes out when I earned my ega.
Holy $hit! I'm short as Hell and was Trail Series last PLT and shortest. I know the feeling. Kept having to " Tighten It Up!!!" Semper Fi !
Seriously, crying . Graduated April 22 1983 shook alot of hands don't remember anyone crying
this is why the title Marine holds the respect and honor it does, I'm humbled to be working towards it.
My brother is leaving from the marines in a few weeks.I can't wait until he graduates and will officially be a marine.
On graduation day you can shed tears.
Starting today I promise myself I will become a marine.
OohRah! Semper Fi! I still remember when I graduated Boot Camp, 19 December 1985!
My brother is going to be a marine today and I’m so proud of him! Semper Fi! (If he makes in Im not trying to jinx it)
Always. Semper Fi, brothers. I love you all.
The Crucible did not exist when I enlisted. But I absolutely love this idea. SEMPER FI
Dios les de fuerza a todos. Mi hijo esta ahora esta base. Y lo mas triste es que si pasa esos retos . no voy a poder ir a su graduación por este mendigo COV19. Quisiera sentir esa emoción de abrazarlo como hacen en este video😢😢💔
Semper Fidelis is Latin for "Always Faithful," just a little FYI haha
MCRD SAN DIEGO, IST BATTALION/BRAVO COMPANY-1997
I remember our lead hat SSGT Willis, yelling the closer we got to the top of the Reaper, “on top of the world right?”
Then about 20’ from the end, he instructed all of us squad leaders to run with him. We did. And l loved every second.
Semper Fi.
Technically the reporter and Instructor are both correct. It's a total of 13 weeks, but the first week is interpreted differently. Some consider it on boarding and not counting as BMT. Others counting it as part of. Either way, at that point, the recruit has been there 11 weeks.
lol, I remember how in mct everyone regretted joining
They said Seper Fidelis in the caption it's Semper Fidelis that is a fucking disgrace to Marines
They obviously messed up. they're civilians, why do you think that they would know anything?
Frank Tricozzi Not that big of a deal. Lol
You guys don't seem to understand how important tradition is to Marines. Not to mention if the media is going to do a story on the Marine Corps, all of the information they are reporting should be correct. Hell, if they're going to do a story at all, the information should be correct...but we all know that's a long shot.
chriswhusker lol I am a marine, it's probably just a typo.
It's English auto-generated, what'd you expect?
Oct1st 2020 greatest day of my life
Different when I went thru the Island back in 75 . Wasn't called Marine til the SDI said " dismissed " on the grinder . Proudest day of my life ! Ooorrahh !!
I just swore in and i ship out July 12 this year i can not wait
God Bless the United States Marine Corps!
'Rah
Graduated Nov 1983. We had a tiny guy just over 5 ft tall. EVERYBODY took turns taking some of his weight. He was barely 110 lbs, so extra 10 between everyone cut his weight to an acceptable ratio. He was the same dude to take the firewatch of others helping. The Obstacle course on a short dude is entertaining, to say the least.
Note the M16s still in use, The M16A4 was in service when this was taken but was phased out in favor of the M27 which is a version of the HK416
Semper Fi Cash!!
And to every Marine!
This is very motivating 💯💯
I leave june 26th for basic training, I can’t wait for this moment.
You got this brotha !
I wasn't addressed as "Marine" until graduation. That came on December I, 1978. We also didn't have the crucible. Second phase was at Edson range and San Onofre. My FMF unit was Aco. 1/1.
Amarillo Aristocrat The Crucible didn't come into existence until 1996
I got to meet that recruit highlighted in the video. Pretty chill guy. II MEF II MIG MSB
Graduating is all fine and dandy til you get to your unit and the hazing starts all over again
As long as you are in the Training System or your unit does not like you.
Man.......... I'm miss this.
No greater friend, country, Corps, family. Semper Fidelis !
I never met a single new Marine in this video and likely never will……but I know every single one of them despite that.
Semper Fi my brothers
Much respect to these new Marines. The older I get the less military minded I get. I'm still proud to see these young men and women stepping up and getting it done.
I ship to boot on February 5th, 2018. Anxiously waiting the moment I will earn the title. Semper Fi.
Ill see you there!
Good luck m8
I ship in October
No shit, oorah bravo company, I was echo company lol
Alex did u make it?
I'll be here for a while.
Wishing them all well.
Theres a shot load of small marines my dude it's normal, you say that like that's a rare sight
This will be me in a couple of months!!
We always said Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, in that order. And for confirmation, google it: Eagle, Globe, and Anchor - Wikipedia

Love my Corps....Always
*Always faithful*
The little guy has a big heart
My son just graduated basic October 6th
Always faithful..
These Marines earned their tears...let em fall
August 21st, 4 months left!
August 7th brother, what's your MOS?
American Kid I leave october 23
American Kid God bless U!
God bless #ALL
I didn't cry. My drill instructors cried.
Cash is a badass
I also cried on that day i felt like a real man after graduating from basic
Some of them were practically crying? All of us were sobbing
Hell yeah, as a short person that hike was a challenge but thankfully I made it also
:24 "Seper Fidelis"?
My platoon had to 5 foot marines and by god they earned the title.
Pure HONOR.
One day I will earn that medal and title of Marine
I just want to point out. It's called and EGA. not an EAG
Please update your title to Eagle, Globe, and Anchor. At least get that part righ.
