Here is a look at what bootcamp was during the 90's for all those "old timers". Cause the kids going through bootcamp now were born about the time we were going through basic, enjoy.

No, that tag was there because he was a "diet private' he was ruled to be over weight and the tag was merely there so that the DI could easily identify him and not allow him to have some of the food high in calories. Many recruits lost over 30 lbs in boot camp.

Hey numnuts, that was me as the SDI. I knew I was being filmed, and had to tone it down a little. The DI you thought should be there was either Sgt Sanchez, or SSgt Philbert, both were animals. The role of the SDI is not to terrorize recruits, thats what the Jr DIs do Its now 32 years later, so you will probably never see my comments, but even at my current age of 63, if I see you, its “pit” time, bends and thrusts forever.

@@andyc4071 Hilarious. Out of respect I just got down and banged out 20 four-counts, Sergeant Major. It was only after doing several years myself (though none as a Hat) did I truly understand that there were roles that were assigned. I was fortunate enough to have maintained several life long friendships from my 10 years active duty service and for the training I received at perhaps the best time period to have served. At one point, I was even a SNCO alongside one of 3047's DIs in the Comm field. Thanks for the comment, SGTMAJ APC. I'll bang out another 20 once my arms aren't tired...or maybe some leglifts.

First see your recruiter, he will ask a set of questions to see if your qualified, then you take the practice test. If you get a decent score like me i got a 55. And you usually get 5 points more or less on the real asvab. If your recruiter is cool like mine i just had to do my five pullups. And from their i did all the paperwork, he got my background check. And the next day i was at meps, took the asvab, passed the physical, and enlisted in the USMC. Now im a poole. I did all this in 3 days.
@anewell4112 жыл бұрын
@Ryan24Mathews From the second you meet you're recruiter to the moment you enlist. Around a month and a half. From the moment you enlist to the moment you leave for boot camp is around 5-8 months. All this is based on the fact that you have graduated and are in decent shape. Enlist around 6 to 7 months before you want to leave for boot camp. Otherwise you will be sitting around for months doing nothing waiting to leave.

While what you say is true, but as far as "basic boot camp" training is concerned, none is harder than USMC basic boot camp. Whether you go into the SEALS, RECON RANGERS, PARATROOPERS etc, it is all after you completed your basic boot camp training in the armed forces you chose at the time. Then you finally find out how tough you are. 50% of those who enter the SEALS the first week or two are OUT. Those who do graduate, really earned it.
