He honestly looks like he could do 3 miles in 15 to 17 minutes with his physique. We didn’t get motivational talks. We either met standards or get washed back until we did or get discharged from boot camp. I have no idea if they still put the platoon in the sandpit or recruits on the quarterdeck or rifle punishment like they did back then. But Drill Instructor wise they still sound the same as they did back then the only difference I see from this set of drill instructors is my 4 drill instructors rarely cussed back then.

Well, THERE'S a new take.

I always liked the Marines I worked with. All of them were solid dudes. People you could count on.

That last DI telling the recruit he was never giving up on him gutted me. I never had that from anybody and I really needed it as a young man. I wish I would have joined the Marines.

Good memories and great times love watching these

Same here. I could watch these all day and relive the madness

I would do it all over again. Semper Fi Marines

At 6:00 - - - Sir this recruit believes the rope to be DEFECTIVE sir!!

Gunny Palm!? I served with him back in the day when he was Sargent Palm... absolutely awesome guy. Glad to see he did well .

10:14 too damn motivating. i wouldve started sprinting

I love how he's swinging his arms to make it appear like he's running faster than he actually is😂

Best not to stop. Remember the pugil stick match with the male and female recruits some years ago. Every time he clocked her they jumped in an stopped him and got on his ass! I knew when I watched it, that wasn't how it was supposed to go!

Brutal video I need a nap… 😂 I have nothing but respect for the Marines. They are awesome and amazing team of men and women…

I knew I was in trouble the second I got off the buss. The best day of my life was graduation day! The words still are fresh in my mind: "Today is the day, I'm proud to be the first to call you a Marine". Semper Fi

…..I miss this sometimes 🥹

I don’t. It looks like he’s trying to b*tch out and force them to send him home. You only go home with a DD213, legitimate medical reasons, or in a box.

I pity you both.

“Why’d you stop, Why’d you stop, Why’d you stop, why’d you stop. WHY DID YOU STOP? WHY DID YOU STOP???” That DI is legendary lol

Looking back I’m surprised I made it through but man what a feeling when you get that Globe and Anchor!

7:55 looks like the DI didn’t calculate the landing too well

I hope it never changes I hope it stays that emotionally and mentally rough war has no room for mentally and emotionally weak. That is the drill instructors job to push each and every one of them past what they can handle that's where you see what someone's really made of. Not for everyone. The few the proud the Marines

Thanks brother for your resilience brother, I’m going to meps shortly for the army and now I know what to expect for BCT

Army guy confused

This had to be Charlie Company 1st recruit training BN in MCRDSD. This had to be about 2003 to 2004. I went to boot mid 2004 and remember some of those drill instructors. Great times

How much do we wanna bet a DI told them to get a better haircut then yelled at them until they actually went to the SDI.

HE DIDNT FALL 😂 HE CURLED UP INTO A COWARDLY BALL

Air Force combat vet here. We may or may not have bought our DIs a boombox for the dorms we were in basic. We will always have that bond.

Brings back lovely memories. 😆 Love it.

Good luck!

5:43 I know exactly what the private is doing wrong. He is stopping at the edge and jumping. Not stopping completely, but enough where there is no way he will make it. He needs to run full speed into the rope, grab it and his momentum will carry him across with room to spare. Wasn't paying attention when it was instructed and demonstrated. Run through the rope private.

4:45 reminded me of Gomer Pyle

as an Airman, massive respect to the Marines

Got a buddy that's a marine, he just confirmed the kid is still there trying to swing across 🤣

As far as the beginning yes those DIs are there for your needs, the moment you become a recruit/trainee you are now in the custody of the instructors, and the whole training division of the military and the instructors can lose their job, or even get kicked out of the military if your basic needs to live are not met.

@@JohnSmith09123I thought it was abundantly clear in the video that it wasn’t so much the request but how it was asked. He basically told them what they were going to give him as an individual instead of requesting to step aside from the group as a member of said group. The entire process is literally to break down the individual and build the team mentality, and that’s a part of it.

Thank you for this video, now I'm homesick.

Marine basic will give recruits the tools to think cool under pressure. It can't be taught, but it can be conditioned.

As a former DI in 1984 these new instructors are soft. My Marine Corps is not the same.

Maybe I’m twisted, but I found the rope recruit kind of wholesome. That instructor really wants to see him achieve his full potential or he wouldn’t be standing there pushing him like that.

This brings back so many memories!
