Yep, as well as the JDIs. Two things that impressed me greatly was the we knew and felt and absorbed the fact that the DI's could outperform us in everything they told us to do, everything. Also, note that the officers could do so also.

I appreciate your service but I respectfully disagree that going through the marine corps boot camp is somehow the only way to get a backbone. It’s preposterous to suggest that and inadvertently demeans what a lot of hardworking civilians do for this country- in education, innovation and health care services. Folks that work hard to earn money, to preserve and build the fabric of society at home have a backbone as well- not just the marines.

Never thought I would say this, but I miss being a 3rd Hat. Those were some good days, kicking knowledge, causing chaos, but then seeing them transform from civilians into Marines. Very few things in life can compare to witnessing the transformation. What was even more endearing for me was knowing that I was a part of the process. #1stBn #8511 #PIDI

[@mtmadigan82]

I remember the names of all my DI's. But couldn't tell you the names of teachers that taught me to read and right. The impact you guys had on my life was that much more than what they taught me. Best thing I ever did, and you guys are the most impressive people i've ever known. In the moment, I always thought after friday pickup that theres no way these dudes can keep this insanity up for 3 months. Not only I was wrong but I could only tell you just a few times that facade was ever slightly broken. Boot camps the funniest place on the planet that you cant laugh at. But you guys would do 12 plus hour days 6 or 7 days a week and were just unbelievable. Ill tell you how good. Despite all my time in Afghanistan and iraq the scariest moment I ever had was from our 3rd hat as we were about to go up to pendleton. I was screwing with him a little earlier during a run. The guy did yell or anything. But later called me up to the quarterdeck for made up deficiencies with a few others. As we were done he leaned over and whispered about how huge pendleton was, they lose recruits there all the time. Just trip and fall in these shallow holes, never seen again. Of course not the case. But the way you guys are just a force of nature, and literally are that good in that role....it seemed at least somewhat possible this lunatic was going to put me in a shallow grave. Up to that point in I'd never been actually had my life threatened by an adult and one more than capable of following through. If you've never been to boot camp or observed it first hand, this will sound completely insane. But this is the beauty of when I read you miss that gig. I could entirely see it, you can walk around mcrd san diego or pi like a god. Nobody there will fck with you. And you can do stuff like that for giggles. The minds of bright dedicated people with some time to kill and a group of people that need some discipline....can come up with some creative and painful ways to achieve that goal. Its a whole lot funnier now, but you guys changed my life, and I could never thank you and your families sacrafice and commitment enough. Thank you.

[@TheMeatwade]

I can relate. I was only an S-4 clerk then chief over at 2nd Bn Hq co PI back in 2013. But being around DI's for a few years hardened the hell out of me. I also miss those days.

How did he do that you ask? Easy, sumbitch took the power cord off and all we could do was sit and look at it.

Lazer Kills If you think you can handle it, I say go for it. If you get 4 years college you may go officer. Do your research. Go to a Marine recruiter and talk to them now. Talk to a Marine Officer. Ask him or her what they went thru. What was good and bad. What they like and don't like about it. Find out about duty stations. Hardship stations and others. Ask about the pay, the duties, the deployments, and housing. Ask to see if you can spend some time with an Officer or enlisted for a day or more. See what they do and do what they do if they will let you. Visit a military installation. Try to get the whole picture so, if you do go in, you do not spend your time complaining that it is not what you thought it would be. I myself loved it. Don't be afraid to see what it may be like. Ask to visit Quantico and Parris Island or San Diego if you are closer to that one. Just a suggestion.

[@christiansfortruth5953]

The real trick to surviving boot camp is to embrace it and become one with it. If you go in with the attitude that its them or me you are putting yourself on the outside trying to get inside. It's in the mind. If your strong enough to do the job the only things that will let you down is injury and your mind. Where is your focus? In special forces it's not all down to the physical. It's the attitude. Are you going to give up or are going to gut it out. That is the deciding factor . So dont fight the training. Dont be someone on the outside trying to get inside. Embrace it and actually enjoy it. And in traininng keep your gob shut. It's the difference between some people who drive a car mechanically. Its outside of them. And the person who becomes one with that car so that they feel the engine through their feet and hands. They are one with the car. Good luck. The Marines are the greatest.
