Officer Candidate School Prep 2011 - The Drill Instructor

Candidate Charissa Mendoza talks about her platoon's drill instructor during Officer Candidate School prep weekend April 2011.

[@roxannefinsel6981]

Gunny Deleon was my first sergeant when I hit the fleet in 2013. She went to Australia with us in 2014 for MRF-D. She was well composed and a great leader and I did not want to be on her bad side.

[@BelleIvy14]

Oh wow, Gunny Deleon was my second hat in basic training, P Co. It's been nine years and I still recognized the, "Look at me now," in a freaking millisecond.

its different between being there and seeing it on tv

[@SkyWolffy17]

her voice tho

[@ViperSRTnACR]

Even being prior enlisted (like myself) when going back in from civilian life you need to dig deep and remember what military life was like to get in the zone for training. It's funny, I've been out over 8 years now and recently I've been having dreams of being in basic again, sometimes as a new trainee and sometimes as one that's graduated and telling others what to do... And remember, no matter what branch you're in we ALL served.

[@SCLA111]

The instructor tho.......

Why we're peace time Marine Corps it's gay as hell we ain't going to combat anytime soon

[@globe255]

matthew calderon Be happy for that. Every time soldiers need to fight in a war on the battlefield, a lot of those soldiers, IF not all will get mental problems in the future and that's a fact.

[@adanalcalaleon7426]

Peace time war time, you're giving Uncle Sam a signed blank check. I went to Marine Corps boot camp after high school, during Operation Desert Strom

[@adanalcalaleon7426]

and got sent to School of Infantry thinking Iwas going to see action-nothing, almost got to go to Samalia. Firstly, I joined to back for everthing this country did for my parents and my family and lastly, because I wanted to experience combat. Looking back, I thank God and the Virgin Mary for protecting me. I gained a lot and will always be in debt to the CORPS.

The most important thing in PLC to me is coming up with a sleep and chow plan.

[@whatever9042]

Marines have Boot Camp down right. Prior service Marines here switched over to US Army Officer. US Army has nation building, Special Forces, Field Manuals, and OPORDS, field craft and land navigation as their strengths. But making Marines is the way to do it. It would have been awesome to say I make Marines

[@johnsiesavourine1872]

I love you guys.

[@superwout]

OMG , Grenada , Somalia , Iraq , Afghanistan , all such huge victories , you conquered all of these incredible superpowers with such conviction and excellence . such amazing stories of uncompromised success for the world"s biggest army

[@Tabmow9]

lol joke right?

[@superwout]

Tabmow9 sarcasm is genetically instilled in my whole family ...

[@cminksful]

superwout ww2, ww1, Korea where they fought against the Chinese

[@superwout]

cminksful in WW2 despite all the western propaganda , it was the Russians who absorbed the German armies and who bore the brunt of the ground war , in WW1 the Yanks only joined in 1917 and god knows where Korea would have ended if it wasn't for the truce , so the Yanks are overrated

[@cminksful]

superwout True the Russians did absorb most of the German army but due to the other allies they turned it into a two front war which took vital resources away from the eastern front. So who knows if Germany would of lost against Russia if the USA never entered the war. Also the USA pretty much single handedly took care of Japan too they had help but they were the main fighting force on that front.

[@revareginio3447]

How can one understand what is being shouted? I have a difficult time trying to figure it out when I watch and listen to these videos. I guess I'd be on the receiving end of a lot of PT and group adjusting!

Go to school and get your bachelors, then masters(2 year, no thesis) then join up.

[@aubrigutierrez4734]

Oh don't get on the gunnery sgts bad side you don't want to mess things up

[@Poxyquotl]

Lmao ‘Gunnery Sergeant’ Hill was my 1st Sgt at 2nd LAR back in 2018/19 small corps

[@gutstotake]

My last two 1stSgts have both been prior OCS female DIs that didnt extend tours. Nothing better than someone that RUNS off the drill field instead of getting kicked off.

[@jawanterrell9658]

yeah, but the academic commands plus the Marine structure is still gonna make it hard. most of them are college grads are prior enlisted so they probly get harder coursework

[@jawanterrell9658]

its all about getting you in a vulnerable position, like the position those candidates are in. the DI's know your success depends on your ability to follow their plan, plus, they know you will be making a lot more money than them eventually. They have no incentive to go easy on you.

[@Xaforn]

Some of us find that to be music to our ears

[@satelng]

@hrnn06 She is not crying...she is hoarse from yelling. It happens to everyone in USMC training. Can see why you would think it though.

[@Snowcat89onXbox360]

Damn, the Marine Corps must be losing a lot of money. At my pre-ship this year, we didn't get any equipment, uniforms, or anything. We didn't even have enough rifles for weapons class. The only food they had was MREs. But this was in Oregon, and we had only 30 Candidates there. Maybe in more populated parts they get better funding.

[@slowpoke96Z28]

So do they still call it the drill field if you’re working OCS?

[@forwaffaccount7234]

why dont they use loud speakers?

[@Jimmy911ism]

They only high-fived to show the DI their camaraderie. They knew she'd chew them out (maybe didn't expect only one to get chewed out) but they'd be shocked at her words in the interview. Notice how it didn't bother the bond girl? Do they get points for staying calm when the DI grills them?

[@zaibiking3096]

Love u women instructor

[@quintonnorris5111]

They are not treated like slaves... They have to be torn out of their comfort zones. And the men and women will bound better and stronger as a team, a fighting force because they are going threw the same shit. And know how each other feel and function.

Why is this so tame lol

The DI's should have the Smokey cover's just like MCRD ones do...LOL

[@uzer141]

Personally I like they way they have it now is cool since it they look more natural but at the same time the sergeant instructors (OCS DIs) are just as ruthless if not more since they are training candidates instead of recruits

[@KoolAidSquirt]

I rather not lmao that way they can’t hit you on the temple with it when you fuck up lmao

Officer Candidates* School Prep 2011- The Drill Instructor

[@TheTyrantOfMars]

We use a presonal radio network (the net) to give orders, swearing and shouting arnt allowed

[@Allenwinget55]

How do you enlist in officer candidate skill, and bypass basic military training? I mean if that is possible. I'm curious.

[@devincarney3817]

Well I know with the Army you have to go through BCT first. Go to your job training, and then attend OCS, I'm not sure about the marines. The best you could do is contact a recruiter, or you could look into ROTC at the college level. Hope this helps.

[@TaKevinT]

NROTC Scholarship.

[@cjlake1233]

I'm a Marine Officer Candidate righ tnow and how it works is... first u go to OCS which is Officer Boot Camp so to speak (Its where they screen u to see if u have what it takes to be an officer in the Corps), then TBS (The Basic School) which trains u how to be a Marine Officer, then Specialized Training which u learn ur MOS.

[@DrStrangelove1941]

+Allenwinger55 It doesn't matter if you're in officer candidate school or enlisted. EVERYONE goes through Boot Camp. So no, there's no way for you to bypass that.

[@cjlake1233]

The guy asking clearly thinks that Recruit Training aka Boot Camp, is seperate from Officer Candidate School. It is only based on name and types of training otherwise. They're exactly the samething just given different titles to distinguish between the Officer & Enlisted training camps.

[@zephaneas]

They don't wear the DI smokey bear cover??

[@donmcc6573]

Once you get your bars, treat your Marines like Marines. The reason I got out was because of toxic leadership.

[@janeciaBlack]

they sound like racket i would start laughing

[@LibertarianUSA1982]

if youre already a marine are they allowed to yell at you like that? Or do they treat you with more respect?

[@yeetusyeeterson5506]

They may secretly respect you more, but they'll still yell at you.

[@brendawright5899]

The British army does the same thing without the yelling. Some would say they produce better officers. personally don't know

[@kurger100]

yelling is there in any military... some just doesn't show it on camera... US army has the best infantry officers in the world

[@gld1010]

Yeah, I think they are softening up on the next generation. It used to be just as bad until they earned the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor before respect shifted towards the new officer.

[@Daniel-xi6jv]

so i have a question even im a Marine why dont the DIs wear the smokey bear

[@NWWalkerMusic]

Only because this is officer/OCS prep training. At OCS, DIs are referred to by their respective rank (Staff Sergeant, GSgt, etc.), unlike enlisted boot camp where you address them as "Sir" or "Ma'am" and call them Drill Instructors.
