And THIS, my droogie brothers, is how you actually create a Joint environment. For all that we use the J word in everything, we are far, far too insular between our branches. Particularly the disconnect between the Air Force (who speak Dude), and the Army, (who speak Hooah). At least the Marine/Navy share a lingo in their multi-service relationship. The next step is to create actual joint units again, guide-ons mixed and joined both administratively and tactically. Not just LNO's and FIST/JTAC swapping. Very professional young Instructor. Color this old NCO impressed.

The Marine Corps is a division of the Navy if I recall correctly? So I would assume they both share a lot in common between their training environments. I spent 12 years in the Army National Guard, the training is exactly the same as if I would have joined the regular army, but in my case I joined as a 19K, (don't ask why LOL, I could have picked any MOS). Anyhow, I went to Fort Knox, KY, the training consisted of a mix of basic training and MOS training, they called it OSUT (One Stop Unit Training) back then, not sure how they do it now, I assume it still works about the same. 15 weeks of training, and I remember asking our drill sergeants about some of the training towards the end and they said that a lot of stuff will be different once you graduate basic training and get to your unit...that was exactly true. A lot was different after I got back to my unit, still had a lot to learn, but after about a year with my unit the next training year was so much easier, once you get used to how the training rotation went. I got lucky, a couple of the drill sergeants I had were Vietnam veterans, they taught a lot of stuff outside the regular training, after a tour in Iraq I realized just how much the drill sergeants really instilled during that 15 weeks of training. You sit there during basic training and ask yourself why the hell are we being taught this, why are we doing this stuff....its all still in the back of your mind years later, and when you are put into that situation its amazing how much that training comes back to you instantly. I was a Sergeant for 3 years before I got out at the end of my enlistment, I enjoyed it. I always got asked by other NCO's why I was out working along side the lower enlisted. I always said I will not send a fellow soldier to do something that I would not do myself. I didn't use my rank as a way to get out of doing tasks, I didn't feel that was the right way. I didn't care what rank someone was, as long as they were doing their job properly and safely. Yes I could be an A-Hole if I needed to be but I found it was much more pleasant and far better cooperation being more easy going. The extra training to be an NCO was partially what got me LOL, I hate paperwork HAHA!!!

Actually the command is not kind to BMTI's due to all the noise that comes with the job. Female recruits making accusations the TI touched them, or said something. People will say anything if they think it will help them get through or get them something. A BMTI came to work for me straight from Lackland. Returned ot his career field after 5 years. The horror stories of LOR's and Art15's that were just based on hearsay. Hope that has hanged since then. His knee's were shot from marching everyday. Took me a bit to get him back on point for the job but he worked hard just forgot stuff from his career field. What was shocking is they are totally different outside of that environment.

Oh man, yes. This program was getting underway when I was in AF basic. My MTI was Air Force, but I had two Army instructors and a combat skills instructor who was an ex-Marine. VERY different teaching styles, and it was very enriching. All armed services need to get in on this collaboration. The Air Force's training program is already getting noticeably stronger for it.

Wouldn't work. The Marine Corps needs to have recruits go through hell during the entirety of their training, especially in the first couple weeks. They wouldn't give that up, but there are so many people who join the other branches to avoid that kinda stuff, so in order to avoid a decreased rate in recruiting the other branches wouldn't accept that. Different branches aim to attract different people. Marines for example want to be tough whereas the air force wants an easier/calmer military experience.

Army has DS's not DI's. Marines have DI's.

@Norie92 That's how AF BMT works. your flight's MTI is much more of a mentor and usually won't snap until you actually jack something up or make him look bad. It's all the other MTI's on base that tend to randomly "test" your bearing and discipline.

My TI at Lackland in 1965 was Tsgt Gonzales who just happened to be an ex Marine. He reminded us of it every day too. Some didn't play the BMT game well and washed out but the rest of us left all the better for it. I'm now 70 y.o. but remember it like yesterday.

I will deffinetly say this my drill sergeants I mean yeah they were pretty rough but I mean we gained mad respect for them. They taught us a lot while we were there and they didn't mind breaking things down Barney style for us if we didn't get it. I remember one time one of the other guys didn't know how to shave you know he had never shaved before a day in his life. One of our Drill SGTs was in the bathroom teaching this guy how to shave. Someone laughed about it and the Drill SGT flipped out on the guy who was laughing saying "how dare you laugh at this man, he had the integrity to say drill SGT can you teach me how to shave I never had a father growing up so I never had anyone to teach me. That takes guts private!" They became someone we respected and looked up to in a way.

This is AWESOME! Especially with so much joint basing going on, it's important to know how the other services think and work!

Great Idea! Both branches learn from each other from a process that started with our troops in 1944, D-Day +1 in Normandy, France. Land, Air & Sea!

WOW! "BEASTMASTERS" That was my same platoon when I went through BCT in 2000.

That’s was my platoon🙌🏽 Great memories Great Leadership !

I remember SSgt Hite when I was in bootcamp. Great TI !!

As an Army vet I went through in 2005 and I kind of wish we did things a little more Marine. I like that they train to shoot farther, I like their emphasis on marksmanship, I like their emphasis on discipline and physical training. However they really should send everyone across to all the branches and keep these guys in leadership positions at drill sergeant (or whatever) schools and training commands. Everyone has a different method but it would be better to have things looked at at a lower level, at the drill sergeant and company/battalion level, and have them implement things, rather than getting stars involved (as they muck everything up)

@gunsforevery1

It’s an old comment, although marines shoot farther, they also have a far larger target. They have a black silhouette (same size as our green ones) on a giant 6ftx6ft white sheet of paper against a green grass field. You can qualify even if you miss all the shots on the 500 yard target.

Drill Sargent Peters seemed dead in the eyes after dealing with the air force.

@carlolover1 Well in Navy OCS, its a combination of Marine Corps DI's and Chief Petty Officers that train the officer candidates. In the Naval Academy along with Navy Rotc, there are Marine enlisted that are part of the cadre. The Navy-Marine Corps relationship is administratively tighter than the Army-Air Force, but those pairs go hand in hand (Navy support logistics of Marine Corps and Air Force support logistics of the Army)
