This is the part of bootcamp that gets you in shape, it's not about the technique it's all cardio. It's a fun way for the DI'S to kill time in between classes and to wake us up from sitting through the classes

When I went to bootcamp, I was about 20 pounds overweight and had a visible gut. IT alone made me lose close to 50 pounds, and made me one of the fastest recruits in the whole company. My drill instructors were on a mission to f*ck me up, and I took it very seriously

There's always that one kid who can't hear the order and looks around confused before doing what they're doing.

I like how when you look up official US Army basic training videos, they show you the most sanitized and fun-looking version possible, with the obstacle courses, rifle range, and graduation ceremonies. Then you look up USMC basic training videos and it's full of recruits getting their asses handed to them in the sand pit and getting screamed at in their faces. They don't even try to make it look good whereas the Army tries to lure you in by showing you the only fun parts of basic training. We got smoked a lot in basic training, although it wasn't usually as long as incentive training, and it wasn't regulated at all, they would drop us whenever someone fucked up or couldn't meet the time standard in whatever uniform we had and wherever we were. We got smoked outside church because people were too slow getting out of the van.

Camera on for USMC boot camp = lots of stuff that usually goes on will not be shown. Cameras and Company Commander not around = the real shit goes down. My platoon actually had 2 killhats instead of the usual 1 because one of them punched some recruit in the balls and instead of removing him, they just moved him to our platoon. And he was actually easier on us than our initial killhat. I bet our DI's were happy cuz it meant they got more time off since they had more help, but it meant we got killed all the fucking time. Must have paid off cuz we made honor platoon.

One of my friends in my platoon didn't shave and our heavy told him he was gonna get it if he didn't shave again... He didn't DI caught him. Pulled him out of his rack in the middle of the night had the guide and a squad leader hold him, knocked him out. Senior DI asked what happened. "Rash burn from shaving Sir". One of the many memorable moments Lima provided for me lol

SCREAM OUT YOUR FACE. Repeat after me, E-0 of the Marine Corps is recruit, he wears nothing because he is nothing".

I was at Parris Island and I lived in the pit during boot camp because I was a smart ass to my kill hat. When we were at the rifle range I started singing lollipop so my senior drill instructor called me lollipop for the rest of boot camp. He also told me that I was the most mischievous recruit he had ever had.

I’m so glad watching this from the safety of my home!

God this looks so fun looking back at it, I wanna go back 5:50 yup please bring me back

“Oh we don’t wanna scream? Tight side shuttle hops

It isn't that they can't do it, it's that they aren't motivated enough to do it.

Wow, waaaay back in the HEAT & HELL of MCRD PISC in the late summer of 1985, our sandpit sessions were a bit more intense and scrutinized with the DIs in the sandpit WITH us to ensure CORRECT form and execution of the exercises as the SDI called them in the midst of the chaos and sweat/sand... a swift boot in the side or stepping on your fingers by the DIs to ensure correct posture and performance was common... a lot of these recruits would've been quickly corrected and the session would've continued UNTIL full compliance was achieved... plus, our sandpits were in the "secluded" areas of the washracks between the squadbays and NOT out in the open... LOL! Plt 2084 F Co... grad 01 Nov 1985... "Sir! NO MERCY! Sir!"

When you're fresh and ready to go an IT session isn't that bad at all. When youre tired, hungry, sore and pissed off and you get dragged there because your kill hat was in a bad mood is when it gets interesting.

All the memories of Incentive Training.

So once the hats brought the entire platoon to the pit. Then we heard the senior yelling from the third floor of our barracks. He said that a senior drill instructor had to be present when the entire platoon was dug. So he said, here I am. Then the hats proceeded to dig us in the pit while he watched from the window.

I will never forget that. I still have the scars from sand fleas

Theres nothing worse than when you just got massacred and you get up and scream "Stop Aye Aye Sir, Good Morning Sir!" and you good and damn well its the afternoon. You slowly turn your head to your kill hat terrified and he looks at you and says calmly..."is it morning?" you know exactly what is about to happen next and the horror sinks in and you respond brokenly, "no sir." Then he point his finger back down at the deck and you go internal for the next 2 days

Oh the RTF, a place where I thought I could sit back and relax in class. Boy was I wrong 😂

I have to ask, I was Army and in the Army during the smoking sessions we did it as a company. 1-2-3, 1, 1-2-3, 2 and if ANYONE messed up in any way we’d have new creative ways to get further smoked. The terror came from everyone knowing who messed up (bathroom fights at night), and someone always messed up form, time, lazy etc. so you knew you were gonna keep getting smoked. This … looks like everyone is doing their counting individually, how do they keep track? How do these smoking sessions go?
