Get ready for log drills

Also get some 🐱 while you can because if you try that while you’re in then you will find out just how easy it is for you to get in some serious trouble. Not to mention it will just be a whole sausage fest during those weeks

Receiving was like this in 1989. It wasn’t until we dropped to our training companies that it got seriously chaotic.

[@jaredadams5194]

I was Army Infantry for 8 years, went to Fort Benning (Fort Moore now) 20 years ago (I'm 37). It's always good to see younger people joining up, regardless of branch. They are definitely doing something that most of the population won't or can't do. 🤘🤘

It’s not hard…

[@jaredadams5194]

[@michaelmatthias9495]

It’s not hard but like he said people don’t want to join, can’t pass the asvab, or have some medical/moral issue that won’t allow them to join.

the bus load at the 39 second mark is some of the first batches of us that went in in September 2023. cant wait to see if they have more of Charlie company from September 11th through December 8th.

[@joshuahatton5541]

I arrived at Parris Island on 9/11/23, and thus began 3+ months of hell, including having to endure a drop from Hotel to November Co. Still earned that EGA and graduated, so it didn't matter. OORAH!!

[@jt.8144]

LOL.. the opening scene of Full Metal Jacket always puts a smile on my face. 8:19

[@ericterashima6329]

Amazing that the single rope techniques are exactly what I was taught in 1987.

[@ericterashima6329]

The scene with the boot camp haircut reminded me of a couple of movie scenes where guys had their long hair get cut down to nubs. Then I also thought that some of the haircut recipients were paying homage to the barbers for their service as well by giving the barbers some long locks to cut. This somehow also reminded of a time when I was walking to my office with a Gunny from the parking lot to the entrance, and I shoved my hands in pockets because it was chilly. The Gunny immediately looked at me, and sternly asked if I was testing her. My hands quickly and promptly came out of my pockets with the reply, no, Gunny, absolutely not. BTW, I was a LtCol at the time.

[@ericterashima6329]

The DI’s have tailored sleeves on their Service Charlies, and I’ve never seen that anywhere else since I joined NROTC in college in 1987. It looked particularly sharp because details matter. The Marines should have recruiters do the same thing. Maybe even set up a couple day period of instruction with a cadre and curriculum developed by both MCRDs to help recruiters look good in public.

[@nevyjohnson4854]

since when are women allowed in RTC San Diego? I thought we were only trained at RTC Parris Island.

I been thinking about joining, just not sure if I’m prepared for it though. I’m pretty short and don’t have much strength for the physical side of the training.

[@GabTheDrummer]

There's a 4f9 guy that did the marine recruit training. You can do it if you put your heart and mind into it.

[@argentstorm4264]

I’m trying to join! It’s what I want. Hopefully I move to Nevada soon and can start the process, or at least get some confirmation that I can do it here

[@SSgtRote]

You can talk to one of the local recruiters in your town to see if you qualify. You may be able to start before even going to Nevada, but that would all depend on your circumstances.

[@argentstorm4264]

[@d.rcarrera6599]

Don't think too much about it. Join a gym and do a combination of weight training and cardio. Cardio is going to be more helpful to you in the long run. Most recruits arrive with a history of bad eating habits. Eat healthy now, cardio up like crazy, even on recumbent or treadmills, on the soft grass or sand & lift weights. Just enough to tone. Do overdo it.

[@Duck90912]

This crap is dumb. They're busy doing this dumb crap looking like fools while their peers are making hundreds of thousands a year on social media as influencers. Rather be an influencer making $100K/yr at the age of 19 then a tool running around screaming and stroking drill instructor ego's. And these tools will get into the fleet and realize that Marine Corps real life is lame and depressing. At 25 they'll be busy saluting grown men and women, some of whom will be younger than them while their peers are buying homes and making 6-figure salaries. So lame.

This really upsets me. ALL recruits need to have their heads shaved. Women and men can grow their hair back. Just a thought from an old Marine.....This fucking new Marine corps from what we see is discrimination... I'm a 18 year old longhair but men get buzz cut but women have a choice??? WTF... Take a que from GI Jane..as bs as the movie is...but equity was legit..

[@Linchpin_TF]

well the ladies could cut off their hair before shipping because they have that choice. even the rekruts who are already bald, the barbier only polishes ther bowling ball instead of rip the scalp fom ther heads. and the DIs demands that ther Ball is shining for the the 13 weak.
