Making Marines - A Drill Instructor Story - Part 3

Last year, more than 30,000 young Americans became U.S. Marines. They did it through the efforts of their drill instructors. Watch what it takes to make a Marine.

    I have great respect for the Marines. Me, I don't have what it takes to be a Marine. Now, I'm an old man 68 years old. All I can do now is watch videos and dream. In my younger years I did join the AF and I liked it, in fact I wish I would have stayed in. Now, I have a slew of health problems from Agent Orange but I still like to dream about what it would have been like to be a Marine.

    Of course the DI's look like bullies. These kids go from doing what they want to do whenever they want to being told what they are going to do. It is all part of making young men and women Marines, Sailors, Soldiers, and Airmen. You will not get a bunch of 17 & 18 yr olds to listen to you by being "nice". Teamwork is drilled into the recruits the moment they enter boot camp and it is teamwork that will get most of our fighting men and women home. Break down to build up. That's how it's done.

The drill instructors may be hard and in some cases insane (some of the 4th battalion drill instructors), but they are damn good at what they do.

    If you are going to sign up !! Read listen and learn about effects of war on the mind . If you return and some did not do not feel bad , they died in Honor ! If you are taking care of a veteran , Thank You For Caring for our Warrior and know we stand with you , Every day ! Protect all our freedoms , any freedom we loose is a battle won for our enemy. And the blood spent on protecting the freedom was meant to expand on not to surrender, as it is the freedom that keeps us alive and destroys our enemy ! No matter the reasons the people need to know and trust that freedom no matter how small is worthy of the sacrifice made for hundreds of years , and shall always be protected by everyone in or out of service , and a soldier s job is never over , the duty comes as doors open and shut in life , these must be shared and understood before a warrior signs up , to fight with those few who give so much to so many not only in America ! Fly your flag and respect the many symbolic reasons that that flag represents to those who have had that draped over them when coming home to the land of the free and home of the very Brave ! Gods love and protection to the troops and wisdom for the leaders of government who put our Heroes in conflicts and who they must not question as the public , but only do as asked no matter the outcome , the hardest job in the world , is being members of those who fight our wars , and disrespecting the flag is disrespectful to our heroes , who must do as ordered ! If you do not like the governments actions do not vote for your leaders in Washington ! But always Respect the flag that that has the Red stripes of blood given in service , while making a life in a free country , and never accept any loss of any freedom for any reason and carry the fight to get our freedoms back that do many have sworn to protect , Such is the sacrifice made for our children's future in a land of the truly free to know the truth and remove those who attack our freedom or way of life and a duty for those who served and made it home and know the sacrifice of those who gave in the name of freedom and not confused with who you put in the White House ! So many Americans confuse government policy with the men who must act on the governments orders to do and or die by doing or not doing your duty to country , never forget that flag is of the men and women of our country and the government did not make that flag but family's of the military , to remind the world of those in uniform are there were you see that flag ! The president has his own flag make sure to protect our men and the red white and blue flag even to death , because it is what our enemy wish they could do burn our men our flag our country and freedom that they must never be helped to do , even by our own !

    I’m a second generation Marine. My dad was in from 38-46 and served in the South Pacific but never talked about it. He did mention Boot Camp a few times. I was in from 68-70 and served at Chu Lai 68-69 1st MAW. I know his Boot Camp was A LOT worse than Min, from what he said. Sadly, he passed before I hit 17 and didn’t get to see me join.

    When we were in the final phase we did a Company hump around The Island. I was one of the two, four Marine teams that did crossing guard duty. I ran, with full gear, and pack, for ten miles, while the rest of the Company humped. I had to wait for the Company to pass the intersection and then I had to run to the front of the Company and then block the next intersection. It was the most challenging thing I ever did in my life and still is thirty years later.

    I'm a disabled US Army Veteran and if I wasn't permanently injured, I would have transferred to the Marines, Air Force, or Navy if I didn't stay in the Army. The Marine Corps certainly is the most physically and mentally demanding part of all of the other branches and I'm someone who has always enjoyed a challenge and problem solving. The Marines definitely offers both of those along with so much more. I thank you all Marines for your service and everyone else for your service in all of the other branches. Semper Fi and once a Marine, always a Marine!

    I went in 30 years ago and you know what? People said the same thing about kids in the 80's. They called us soft because we didn't grow up during the rioting and protests of the 60's. They said we didn't have Vietnam staring us in the face 6 months after enlisting. We may have been the children of the age of divorce and broken families,but we had attitudes because he mostly raised ourselves on T.V. re runs,playing in the streets and cooking our own T.V. dinners. Every generation says it has it easier then the next one.Soon,my own son will report to MCRD San Diego to begin his journey as a Marine.I hope he gets as much out of it as I did.

    My OSO, Capt. James O'Neill. He served multiple tours in Iraq as an Infantry Officer and will be going back to the Fleet once his recruiting duty is up. And the Marines have actually had to cut back on the number of people they ALLOW to re-enlist, because so many Marines want to. It's not a waste-the Marines are the best this country has to offer: physically, mentally, and morally. It's an honor to be one, and those who actually are, know that.

    my son graduates on the 28th of october, from san diego. he broke his leg the week before they went to pendleton, but now after a 3 month hiatus setting and wasting away in sickbay (i forget the name there) hes made it, almost. his motivation is extremely high, and he is determined. he broke his leg on a run, but was forced to finish on the broken leg. i believe he would have completeld the entire boot camp rotation had the instructors not seen the sweeling. this kid is one determined and motivated young man. moreso than i ever gave him credit for when he was home. he celebrated his 20th birthday in boot camp, and had a grandparent die while he was gone. but still he remains ever determined. its amazing the amount of pride that comes from these young recruits. hell i get pumped up watching these kids, who are not related to me, go thru the shit my kids is going thru. and loving. he did the gas chamber and loved it. i think he might be a masochist. lmao. i really think that he is a natural born marine. who if they said you need to take a bite of a shit sammich, he would ask for seconds.

    I joined the Army when I was 17. In hindsight, I had no clue what I was getting myself into or where I was going in life. If I had waited a few years to weigh all of my options and figure out what is best for me, I might have made a different decision. With that said, I have been in for 7 years now, and I don't regret my decision. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you take a good hard look at yourself and what you want in life. Gather all the information you can and make an informed decision.

    As far as what the DI said about giving what they expect, this is gospel. My Senior was 23 years old and a former Silent Drill Team member. Even showed us a video his parent took of him in action the night before Final Drill. We lost, in second place by 3.5 points, because he gave us the wrong movement, we lost 4 points. He was so devistated that he apologised, almost crying after it was over. SO disappointed. Semper Fi, SDI SGT Duguey, PLT 1118, 1992, My fucking hero.
