"Dear Mom, They put their dick-skinners in the air and it was 'On.'"

I’m thinking about enlisting after I finish my masters degree, I’ll be around 30 once I finish. Does anyone think this is a good idea?

What’s with the slow motion walking? In 2003, mcrd, San Diego, if we weren’t marching in formation we were f’ing running…everywhere. Goddamn pussies these days…

I trust these drill instructors

Wow. Brings back memories. MCRD San Diego! Yes Sir! Good Times

I would have him as my senior drill instructor and his drill instructors to be my teachers but sadly I’m not gonna join the Marine Corps

They’re not frightening they may look like they are, but they are teaching you stuff in that manner, but they can become your friends once you graduate from being a marine it takes time, patience, discipline, spirit, and faith to become a marine

To senior drill instructor Staff Sergeant Felix Ferrin, may God bless you, and the United States Marine Corps. Semper fidelis, always faithful.

Crazy how all those recruits are retired or Ssgt. Also they're probably Senior Drill instructors or where at some point

Is this at Parris Island or San Diego?

He fucked that line up of “strengthening your body, mind, and body”. Wound if he gets reprimanded for that?

I wonder how these DIs would react if one of them had said "Are you John Wayne? Is this me?"?

After this speech my drill instructors went on 30 minutes rampage . This brings memories 27 years ago

After watching Full Metal Jacket , I don't understand how can they can hold the laughter.

As I recall, back in January of '68, (MCRD San Diego) it was less than 4 hours from the time we got off the buss till we were ushered over the the quonset huts. We had been showered, hair cuts and given our utilities after we shipped our personal things back home in a box. At 72 years old now, I do forget things for sure. But I can search my brain till exhaustion and I don't at all remember a SDI Speech. I only recall him saying as we stood at attention, "if I catch you eye-balling me, I will gouge your eyes out."

Thoroughly indoctrinated...

Hat.

SDI = Super Drill Instructor

Where is gunny Highway.. 💪🤔😂

Always curious about the science that goes behind the whole script. There must've been genius psychologists and scientists that worked to create such a training regime that has remained the same for decades.

Spent 75-78 as a D.I. at Parris Island I co 3rd Bn..I watched lots of these videos from modern day and it’s disheartening. We didn’t give the candy ass speech. We went down and cut the recruits at the receiving barracks ran them out onto the yellow foot prints, force marched back to third battalion and laid hell on them. Not at this grab ass BS. Walk don’t run? It was full tilt from day one until they graduated. We’d pick up 80 in the summer and drop at least 20. In the winter we might pick up 48 or so and drop 15. It was so different. Was it better? I don’t know that but I’ll tell you one thing it was tougher, way tougher!!

🤣🤣🤣

しゆみいか😍😍耐久！…８時間！！びつくりにや🐱

Just think DI’s go through a semi smaller boot camp 9 weeks to become DI’s. I will forever cherish my drill instructors guidance and how they turned me into a Marine.

Fun while it lasted. Retired and enjoying life.

Non military guy here, just curious why the officer did not have a hat on?

I remember thinking boot camp was going to be easy until the day the real DI’s introduced themselves

This was not how Black Friday was. I literally though I died on the walk from the receiving barracks to our permanent barracks and ended up in hell. It looks they took it easy for the video.

This wasn't even a speech lame

So random question, why do they have rifles already? We didn't get ours for at least for A-day or 2 after we started. I was 08

Just imagine if this was the speech every child heard when they come into the world.......

Remember the day....

"physically and verbally abused" is a relative term on Parris Island 🤣🤣🤣

I wish Marines wasn't a hard branch to get accepted at. I know they got high standards. I understand. I wish I would've gone to the Marines but talking about disqualifying me over a medical history. So instead I'm in the Army National Guard. I'm 28 almost passed the age limit. But no matter what, I give my highest and fullest respect to the hard core Marines. They are the toughest elite and the deadliest weapon in America. They are the best. I would never mess with a Marine or insult a Marine's intelligence. The Marines boot camp is way better than any other branch. Marines are better trained. The few the proud. Semper Fi Marines. God bless the Marines. OORAAH MARINE CORP!!

US Army here (94-98). The marines have my full respect.

Question here. I’ve been watching these videos for awhile and I have always wondered y do they always start the training with the money bag and the card? Is it to start them off easy or are they waiting for the series commander to give them the go ahead to begin?

Dont yell n be nice to a recruit wowwww this is new marine corp .i would of flew throw boot camp but these guys would of never made it back in the day turn the camera s off n then letzzzz c what happens lmfao

The fucking crotch never changes and it is not a bad thing. USMC 1970-73 Sgt. SF

My name Felix

ITS SSGT PIPPIN!!!! He became a senior drill instructor a few years later

MCRD 2143 Golf 2007

They all have the same shoes

I was there in 2001. I enlisted after 911. I remember that morning when we met the DIs in the speech the senior said ,we will instill discipline in you through pain.i got a little worry after hearing that.i got jacked up a few times, which is what they used to call back then to them grabbing you by your clothes and shaking you violently.when I left Parris island I wasn't afraid of a damn thing.Semper Fi.

I love the intros lmao... The physical accuracy is satisfying...

Nah bruh this seniors soft.

Treinando os passinhos do Michael Jackson

Of course, Marines do not steal... however we Strategically Transfer Equipment to Alternate Location. Also, the Senior Drill Instructor forgot the part in his speech "further if you feel that I have mistreated you, I expect to report such incidences to our company commander."

That synchronized pose at 1:15 was fucking smooth

Kill hats should continue to wreak havoc and not sit at parade rest while the green belt is talking. What changed?

I have watched this speech from several Marine DI’s and every time, it makes me want to become a Marine. It is a very inspiring speech to me coupled with the pomp and ceremony. Sadly I am way to old to do this now and when I was young I did not have my shit squared away enough to even think about being a Marine. I have the upmost respect for every Marine living and dead. I have known many Marines of many ages and found every single last one of them to be the best people you could know. God bless all Marines.
