Simeon Kurosky hey, great videos. They bring back some memories for sure. In another comment thread on this video someone asked what a scribe does and I did the best I could to answer that but if you don’t mind giving a current description (I was at PI 17 years ago) I’m sure that might be more helpful. I’m looking forward to you next video!

My son just arrived yesterday in San Diego. Thanks for these because they help me understand what he’s going through since all I do is worry for him. He also watched your videos before hand so he knew what to expect . Keep up the good work

Nathan Russell didn’t know camp P did recruit training

I joined the Marines way back in 1988 and went to Parris Island. I remember the food being good. Breakfast was always the best. The joke back then was if there were no seagulls on the parade deck then we knew chicken was being served at dinner. Lol. I have eaten chow from all the branches except for the coast guard, which is probably the same as the Navy chow I would imagine. I was stationed on an aircraft carrier for my first duty as security forces so I know all about Navy chow onboard ship. When the ship first leaves port and when it is resupplied the chow is good but as the time goes and things get used up is when you see the decline in the food. As far as the Army and Air Force goes, I'm torn between which is better. They were both top notch chow. Hard to believe it has been 32 years already. Damn I miss the Corps. Semper Fi!!!

Good to know the chow is good in Pensacola. I ship in a few days to San Diego and after that my MOS takes 9 months of training

Could you do a video on things to learn before boot camp? I’ve heard there’s a lot of knowledge that recruits have to learn and memorize in boot camp. Just wondering if there are some things you could/should get down beforehand to take away some of that stress while there.

What did they call those snack packs you get? I remember it was an acronym, like a PJ, or a PB, BP, something like that. I've been trying to remember forever...

Make friends with the scribe and get on early or late chow, late being better than early, if you don’t do anything stupid they generally won’t mess with you. Also you should find out what the legal food requirements are in different circumstances. When I was in, on base you were due 1 hot and 2 cold meals per day. In the field, you will almost always get that but you could get as little as 1 MRE per day. Basically the amount of food you get for the crucible. Those amounts are important in the fleet too since you get paid for meals (Per diem, BAS, etc) when the government can’t provide them.

@xslickrickx2103

4 жыл бұрын

josh connolly at boot camp there are several billets or jobs that are assigned to recruits. They include the guide, squad leaders, the scribe, Early and late chow (kind of a special fire watch), house mouse and I might be missing a few. The scribe is responsible for things like making the fire watch roster at the direction of the DIs and to a lesser degree the guide and squad leaders. Keeping track and mailing out going recruit mail at the direction of and with the assistance of the DIs along with other things that need to be assigned or recorded. It’s probably the best gig you can have in boot camp. You would never see a scribe with watch in the middle of sleep hrs unless the was some reason like they want to do their own laundry (when I was at boot there was one washer and dryer in the squad bay head for items that could not go out to the cleaners with the platoons laundry, not sure if it’s still that way though). Here’s a link to a post where people have described it better than I ever would. The only thing I would add is in 2003 they were only giving meritorious promotions to the guide (the one who is guide at graduation, the guide position will change hands a few times along the way). It seems that they had changed that policy by the time some of these posts were made) www.leatherneck.com/forums/showthread.php?56506-What-is-a-Scribe

My son is in boot right now and he says chow isn't that bad at all. He said it was like high school food but 3 times better LOL. Soooo, I guess that's good. Question, when and what type of protein bars should I mail him? Thank you for your video!

At your service SIR! YES! SIR!

Can you talk about what you want to do after the Marines or is the Marines a long term plan for you?

I tried not to eat too much very light breakfast light lunch then pigged out at dinner. Not being able to use the head when I wanted was the worst part. Salad and cheese binds you up. I figured that out and didn't shit for an entire day. The next morning I almost shit myself.

I went to boot camp in 1997. I barely made weight. I was very thin before I went in. I was on double rations during chow time. What that means is I got double portions of food. It didn't matter though because I had 5 min to eat it. I'm 6'1 and weighed like 145 before boot camp. I actually put on 23 pounds after boot camp. I basically filled out and I was ripped from head to toe.

So, I couldn't eat anything before I joined. Nothing sat well with me At all, like, not even bread. Something about the endless exercise does something to your digestive system. To this day, I can eat whatever I want and it sits perfectly with me. No real explanation, but two decades of digestive issues disappeared in the first week there. Might happen to you. If that doesn't happen, we ate mostly chicken, fish and pork at the chow hall. Box chow we ate out in the field or after class, ect. was like, chicken, salami, and some very-occasional beef. Lots of chicken. We honestly ate little dark meat. Less than 10 meals if I remember.
