when i was in afghanistan, my brother was going through army basic training, i found a 7 foot tall pink teddy bear on ebay and sent it to him, it was his battle buddie for 3 weeks

[@williamhernandez2531]

[@Dang3rMouSe]

a friend told me that while he was in bootcamp, a guy in his platoon received nude polaroids from his gf. The drill instructor nailed them to the wall for the entire platoon to enjoy😬

This is very helpful! If my boyfriend gets accepted, this is going to be our routine for boot camp, and I don’t want to do anything that’ll get him in trouble and I want everything to go smoothly. I want him to succeed. 😊

[@29_lets_go]

I got a package in the mail from my dad while I was in bootcamp. It was full of candy, cookies, snacks, and had a bottle of shampoo. The DIs let me keep the shampoo and confiscated the rest. 3 days later during free time I told another recruit that I really wanted cookies so I knocked on the hatch and when the DIs answered I yelled “this recruit requests cookies, sir!” The whole platoon looked over at me and the DIs ended up giving me a couple of them. I was so happy.

[@scottobermeyer8441]

[@efromhb]

This is great. Takes me back to 93. I had my 22nd bday in boot. No fanfare at all and no cards or letters that garnered any attention. I did watch the fireworks at Sea World San Diego from my rack that night.

[@wittwittwer1043]

I went to PI for boot camp in mid-Jan of '62. Initially we were issued a portfolio with stamps, envelopes, and stationery . We were able to buy replenishment supplies on our 1st PX call. We could write letters after mail call, which came at about 1945. From 2000 until 2100 was called Free Time. During that hour you squared away your gear, showered/shaved (we shaved in the AM only on inspection days) and wrote letters.

[@davidbeckley3984]

Man I got out of boot a year ago and your vids are so nostalgic. Keep up the great work man.

[@chrismartin8829]

In Army BCT, they starting making people open their letters in front of the DS to make sure that people weren't receiving nudes. It sucked because my dad would send me news articles and those sometimes got confiscated. Protip to those out there with kids going to Boot Camp: Find news articles online and print them out with the pictures removed so it looks like a letter. It was great to get current events news once and awhile and it gave you something to talk about with other recruits during downtime. It also meant you could build some "cache" by being the guy people went to for news.

[@sweetluvnwill698]

I had a AM/FM Walkman while I was in Bootcamp back in 1992. I got lucky. D.I. didnt look through my package that was sent to me by my parents. Usually they make any recruit dump everything out from a package. Not me. he just hand my package without asking me to dump it. Since that day I recieved it. Fire watch was so relaxed and it made time fly hearing music in the radio for me and a few recruits that knew I had that walkman. Before wakeup call whoever had the Walkman last had to hide it at a secret place that not even one of the DI'S wouldnt know it was there. LOL. Damn that is one good memories I had during bootcamp. Semper Fi. 1992-1996/2002-2006

[@erpollock]

I admit I had my doubts about this guy at first, but he is so practical and gives you info you need to get and send mail. There's even a link to find out how to address an envelope! The email generation. And he even tells you not to get packages. Just written letters.

[@claytonfilpo]

Hi Eileen! Thanks for taking the time to watch, hope you found it informational!

[@MartyrMoon]

Update? 😳

[@timothyherring3214]

@@MartyrMoon 5 years later lol. But I went to the Marine corps, but didn't make it through boot, halfway through training I started having issues with my side, come to find out I have a hip condition (they dont know whether it was something that physically happened or something that runs in the family that we dont know about. This was all the start of covid and the guy that looked over me ended up just having me sent home. Honorable discharge, medical seperation. I still miss it, anyone trying to go, as gruesome as boot can be, its definitely an amazing experience, you just gotta put aside all the grueling demands and keep pushing. It takes some mental fortitude to get through, but I would do it again (and I know countless others that say that too.) The biggest thing, drill instructors (DI) are just doing a job, it seems mean and nasty but they arent really that way, thats just the job. I had several instructors that when I was being dropped into medical that talked to me like a normal human and not just a recruit, I was lucky, I had pretty ok DI's, I know others that werent so lucky. They are there to train you, and to do a job.

[@timothyherring3214]

Also, interestingly, we follow A LOT of the same channels lol.

[@MartyrMoon]

@@timothyherring3214 Damn, it sucks to hear that you didn't make it though bootcamp but it's pretty cool to see that you made the choice to go in, after seeing your comment at 15. I'm pretty excited to be going to basic next month and I'm keeping hopeful that it will go well

[@claytonfilpo]

Easy to see why I shorten it on KZbin to Filpo

[@XxPoRkXsOdAxX16]

[@wizardmoose7002]

Clayton there's a company called sandboxx or something close to that, what they do is help out with mailing to your recruits at paris island. It gets there in one or two days, so it's a big help. You should check them out and maybe give them a shoutout too!

[@claytonfilpo]

Moose, I've had them try and advertise on my channel before. I'm all about entrepreneurship, but I prefer to advertise products I've tested and those that are willing to actually reach out and sponsor the channel in some way.

[@tomservo5347]

Despite my drill sergeants emphatically telling us to tell our families to NOT send packages with goodies there'd still be someone getting a package. My drills would shake it, say it sounded like cookies, and then drop and 'accidentally' stomp on the package. I once had cough drops confiscated during search after returning from our 2 hour Sunday afternoon leave to enjoy the shitty mini-PX because it was considered 'candy' (Hall's?) and had a can of 'Parade Gloss' Kiwi boot black confiscated as it had to be regular. Letters are the ONLY tangible link you have with the outside world and they were very important to us. (Oh yea, do not let your girlfriend spray perfume on a letter for a drill sergeant to discover.)

ClaytonFilpo why can't your drill instructor know that it's your birthday. You never said exactly why in your video.

[@cdstables1746]

he said he will possibly make another video about that.

[@SuperBlue2324]

ClaytonFilpo My recruiter told me about a time that his parents sent him protein bars. and that was acceptable but he had to get enough for the whole platoon. would the DI's smoke you for bringing something like that?

Off topic ,a marine from the 80's told me that DI'S would tell recruits to "steal" another recruits rifle , causing guys to sleep with their slings wrapped aroing their arm. was he messing with me? yay or nay?

[@claytonfilpo]

That. Is. TRUE. Shit happened all the time.

[@MrKilroy51]

ClaytonFilpo i thought you had to hang your rifle off the bunk at night

[@KainusGulch]

At Parris Island, it was hung on the bunks, and strapped in by a cable and lock. It's still possible to take it, because the combo for the locks are on stickers or tape on the back of the lock. Fire watch at night is sometimes called Rifle Watch. That said, I never heard of it happening in my platoon.

[@MrKilroy51]

KainusGulch so if you cant sleep with it , and the locks dont reqlly help, how do you prevent it getting swiped

[@KainusGulch]

Sleep battle ready and work on teamwork and trust and honor courage commitment I guess.

[@sherriamitchell7692]

This just made me feel so much better thank you

[@colossusforbin5484]

I went to Parris Island in 1985. I remember being issued stamps, USMC writing pad and envelopes. We didn't have to buy them. Maybe it's different now. We never made a phone call home to tell our family we made it safe to boot camp. We wrote letters back then and God forbid if you received a letter from someone with doodles on it or a crooked or upside down stamp on it (which I unfortunately did). When a recruit received candy in the mail, it was shared with the rest of the platoon.

[@chriso8593]

Man. I feel old. There are some youngsters that never mailed a letter

[@genxmurse7019]

LOL! My mother sent me a musical card for my birthday, and because the envelope was big, one of the DIs made me open it right in front of him... When that card started playing the moment I opened it, oh boy did the games begin! I got smoked HARD on the quarterdeck, and he made the rest of the platoon sing Happy Birthday over & over. Needless to say, I was getting dirty looks from my buddies, because they all wrote to their families not to send cards.

When I was in AF Basic we had a guy get a box of chocolates, it was the opposite, he got none. Instead the TI had him give everyone else a piece and the TI took the rest. We had to eat it right there on the spot in front of the poor kid. He seriously looked like he was going to cry. It's amazing how, 13 years later I can still remember so much from my time there.

Hey Clayton, how do marines in boot camp learn about major news events, if they do at all? I read a story about a marine mother who got a scripted call from her son who was in boot camp when 9-11 happened so obviously that was shared, but is that a major exception? Would you expect a recruit in boot camp to learn, for instance, who won the World Series? Or what about military related news like the strikes in Syria and Afghanistan?

If no contact can be made to his or her parents, the recruit will contact his recruiter. If the recruiter doesn't pick up, the next person in the recruiter's chain of command would be contacted.

The one thing that is promised to them is that they will receive mail, pretty much no matter what. It's possible that there is some sort of clerical error, but I doubt it since you already received a letter from him. You kind of have to go out of your way not to write mail back to your girlfriend.
