A civilian survives Marine Corps Boot Camp, Parris Island

[@christopherjaekle3576]

We had numerous recruits get dropped from our platoon and either recycled into other platoons or get sent to MRP (Marine Recovery Platoon) and most of the MRP recruits get discharged after a while and sent home. We also had 3 recruits in our company die in boot camp and 1 suicide attempt.

[@gruntusmc8922]

They had a good time because they're civilians, they were babysited. The fun stops once you enter the PI for the whole 13 wks and at the beginning of your service. You laugh when the DIs are talking to you and "he will pt you until hell freezes over". For us the time that we spent at PI or San Diego was and still is a very serious experience. A high % of Marines will tell you that they'll never ever want to go through boot camp again but all of them will say that they don't regret it, it's the beginning of our new life. SEMPER FI!!.

I didn't feel insulted. Not everyone can make it through boot camp, so it's cool to see civilians go through and at least see an extremely light version and still think it was tough haha.

[@thomasbeirne8213]

I think that this is serous USMC PR. A lot of people aren't scared of serving, they're scared of failing boot camp. They erroneously think boot camp is the hardest part of being in the military, any branch. It's Public Relations, "see, it ain't really so hard homey, you can do it..."😁

[@flarex808]

There's no such thing as a civilian surviving boot camp. They come out the other end a marine or they don't make it through

[@Aillishlove]

Well, when you go out of high school and all. You enter boot camp as a civilian and survive it. If you failed the boot camp, you can't become a marine or soldier. You enter as a civilian, you leave as marine/soldier or failure to become one and remain as a civilian with experience. Not everyone survive the camp and ended up as a soldier or marine.

[@henrylin6537]

[@davidwadsworth8982]

Same in the Army , your a soldier or not.

[@genxmurse7019]

Simply put... Boot camp is a probationary period. If you are kicked out of boot camp, you are administratively separated, which means you don't exist in the military, period. Legally, you can't even claim having been in the service, other than you failed boot camp; so, why put that in a resume? As far as experience is concerned... ZERO! You cannot claim any of that, either. Military experience begins after graduation.

[@noahcovatis1781]

They don't let you out for a while either, they wait until everybody is calm and collected, but see that never happens. There is always one fucking guy that's there, freaking the fuck out, so the instructors are like, hold em' in until they calm down.

Jim Higgins this lady might not be doing this for the right reasons, most of the educators have a good reason. I've known school advisors that went to civvy corps camp so that they had a better foundation for recommending military service to kids who were interested. It's also to help the educators with leadership skills. The Corps is a crash course in leadership. It's also for mandatory public relations. Everything in this is at like .5% of the actual intensity of real boot camp.

[@aspiringwackjob7089]

The point of being screamed at isn't to break you so you know who's boss. It's to break you out of that civilian mindset; a mindset that leads people to believe in the benefit of themselves and often times, noncompliance and a lack of listening skills. When you start boot camp, you leave your civilian life behind. You are no longer an individual. You are part of one mechanism, one machine, one unit. The constant shouting and quickly executed directions by the DIs are also to adjust you to extreme stress levels that often come with combat or dealing with large amounts of people or just situations in general while you're in active duty. Nothing to do with "letting you know who's boss".

Do this for 3 months and actually push yourself. If you did pushups and running like they did in this video you wont survive 5 minutes.
