Rules and Red Boxes, Marine Recruits Intake (Part 2)

[@tntaclegrape]

I love how the Asian guy did exactly what the DI told him to, in one try, without getting yelled at.

[@garysheldonjr8379]

Not hard to do just do like they ask and respond with some volume.

[@sanandreasX]

Listen, and do it correctly the first time.

[@xmamoneyx]

that black dude killed it had me rolling, bouncing up and down like that lmao

[@awkwardcapgun6131]

His name was Thuo, he was from Eastern Africa (Kenya or Uganda, can't remember) and he never really stopped bouncing when saying aye-aye sir and also never really ever screamed like our drill instructors wanted. Dude was chill as fuck all through bootcamp and went on to become a combat engineer.

[@LXRGASCHAMBER]

I had a bad habit of looking the Drill Instrucors in the eyes when I first arrived. That was a habit I had to break quickly.

[@ryancox9281]

"Did I say eyeballs?!"

[@Gods-bad-boy]

Me too

[@ericirwin413]

It's good that you always look somebody right in the eyes when you talk to them! It's normally a sign that your not lying and being honest!! But a Drill Instructor it's the opposite! Head and eyes and face, body straight forward the entire time!!

[@jamesmorales4494]

2:03-3;03 is just pure comedy gold... No way I could have been next to dude, they way would have carried me out of there...

[@AdonaiZedek]

i was the same way...i wen to the pit so much for laughing to where our senior made a rule that if anyone goes to the pit i would go with them. That resulted in me getting thrashed 4 times before lunch a day...Good thing was i got strong really quick and the pit wasnt shit...i used to play with it and mess up on purpose to start count over.....until 2nd phase where they broke my azz

[@YellowCab524]

James Morales I would have gotten fugged up for laughing so hard.

[@greencm7142]

I've watched a lot of these. At age 41, it makes me wish I enlisted. While I'm doing great in life now, at 18, I was a wreck. This would had turned me into a man sooner, instead of my 30s. God bless the marines.

[@MartinLDouglasthaVoyce]

I feel the same way. I work in a county and alot of the inmates THINK I was a marine. So they actually listen and do what they’re told. But my dad and uncles were all in the Marines. I’ve never even came close to being in any type of military.

[@shivablaster4825]

Drill Instructor at 2:06 had to have been holding back laughter and thinking to himself, "fuck me is this really my life right now?" while at the same time trying to stay in character 😄😄

[@scarecrow719]

For all of those who went through this, I must say I am impressed you survived because I sure as hell wouldn't.

You’ll get yelled at when you do something wrong. You’ll get yelled at when you do something right! It’s nothing personal, it’s their job. They tear you down, but if you give it your all, they’ll build you back up a stronger and better person. Once you understand that, it’s easier to make it through. No it’s not for everyone. But there’s been plenty of people who thought they’d never be able to make it, yet they wind up graduating and are now Marines

[@bobpeel2403]

I would literally bring nothing. Why do these recruits have so much stuff?

[@joelhulsey2800]

They are told to so the DI's can yell at them about how much they brought.

[@tiatrips]

Because recruiters don't know what they're doing and don't prep recruits correctly.

[@D4RKMA7TER]

Chase Lohmeyer I have had people that graduated bootcamp and the they told us about it. we could ask questions and the recruiters would ask them if we asked them questions because its one of only few chances. and I just did this last thursday.

[@D4RKMA7TER]

Chase Lohmeyer I don't know how it would scare them. I think the most "scariest part is just before leaving. I'm leaving August 11 I'm really nervous about it like I don't want to go but I'm still going. Its because its the unknown i guess. but when you get into it. its fine i guess. that's how I am

[@D4RKMA7TER]

Chase Lohmeyer From what I have heard from my recruiters and being around them. they hate one someone drops out because of the work they did to get someone in. Like he managed to get a kid with plates in his arm through MEPS. They say they turn down a lot of people now. and for this RSS they look mostly for reserve contracts. They say we are lucky to be where we are next to the people who want to join but I'm not so sure on that since they keep trying to recruit more and more

[@Aarondephysic]

I've tracked this moment for years... envisioned it for years...it finally becomes a reality in 1 month and a half! I ship out January 18th, and I am scared shitless in a good way! LETS GO GET SOME!! :)

[@jpd782]

A Friend of my Mom. Her Boyfriend did 17 years in the Marine Corps. And had been a Drill Instructor in San Diego Recruit Depot. The first day I met him. I knew nothing about him. But he gave the vibe as someone you would not want to fuck with. If he was that intense 10 years after retirement. I can imagine what he was like as a Drill Instructor.

[@DESILAS38127]

There was one in every platoon. In my platoon is last name was Dapoma. He had a habit of slobbering and keeping his mouth open. The Drill Instructor would be in his office and without seeing him, holler "close your mouth Dapoma". Hilarious!!!!

[@alexanderbenson7054]

Man this is a trip down memory lane he was my first company gunny back at in day he use tell us stories looking at this now vs him as a company gunny is like night and day glad I never got on his bad side

[@deionfergie9190]

It can be very weird lol. One of the drill instructors from my company back in 06 turned out to be my sncoic 5 years later. And my J hat was in the same BN as me 3 years after that. Talking to them as a marine vs talking to them as a recruit was as different as night and day aswell😂. It was kinda creepy

[@Nica-Ra-Wata]

This is only ONLY the first hour in boot camp, 2240 more to go...

[@fredbrice5833]

[@YellowCab524]

Fred Brice 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@elombard39]

I agree with you, spootboy, 100%. When I wrote, "Give em a break" I wasn't talking about DI's being too tough on recruits, Drill Instructors an outstanding job, they do what needs to be done. I was referring to guy who wrote he "wouldn't want to go into combat w/these guys"..They just arrived & are far from being combat ready. As the proud mother of a US Marine, I have only love, respect & admiration for the Corps & the Drill Instructors who make Marines.. Thanks for letting me clear that up!

[@shogunrommel]

This is hilarious. It was nerve-racking and scary as hell when I was in the same boat 4 years ago but now, as I watch others go through the process, I can't help but laugh. I'm just waiting to see a drill instructor like that SSgt go ballistic.

[@SneakishMonk]

Every time I watch this, It makes me want to cry and laugh at the same time...

[@MrDizzle715]

I often wonder if the quiet black guy made it.

[@tylercaskey1931]

This Drill Instructor is a ball of fire.

[@YellowCab524]

This is absolutely the most funniest video of all time 😂😂😂😂

[@anthonymccarthy4164]

My father was a marine in WWII, he said that things in the Marines went nuts after then, he said drill instructors would have been up on charges then for the sadistic stuff they did later. Being a hard ass is one thing, being pointlessly sadistic is another.

[@napalmsf]

I agree. There are definitely a few sadistic bastards who slip through the cracks but I think the Corps. And Mothers of America do a pretty fine job at ensuring that the majority of DIs are truly dedicated to making Marines in a more effective way.

[@brentarmour1]

Wow, I sure as hell don't miss any of those days....LoL. But I loved my D.I.'s, they were GOD's in my eyes. I love seeing young people enjoying the first day, reminds me even as a SSG that the time to train is everyday.

[@elombard39]

I agree 100% with you, spootboy, When I wrote "Give 'em a break" I wasn't referring to DI's, they do an outstanding job.. My comments were for the guy that wrote he "wouldn't want to go into combat with these guys", I felt that remark was unfair& premature bc recruits just arrived at bootcamp, that's what I meant.. As the proud mother of a US Marine, [graduated Parris Island, 11/20/09] I am full of love, admiration and respect for the Corps. Thank you for letting me clear that up!

[@bittyrock]

My DI Team had 3 GySgt which is something you would never see but my Senior (GySgt Hellyer) was the only Black Belt E-7 at Alpha Company at the time and GySgt Lucas and GySgt Barry both got promoted the previous Cycle so I had 3 GySgts (1 being SDI) and 2 SSgt DIs.

[@FTW6669]

This video really helps to see what BC will have in store, thank you

[@spootboy123]

That's exactly what i got from it,, and you're right about the spirit, they brake your spirit down and build it up even stronger with raw rage and instinct. this kinda makes me want to experince basic but i know i wouldn't last two minutes lol

Cutoff age for the Maries is 29...

He was at the cut off, might have even had a waiver. Our drill instructors referred to him as the "grand old man of the Marine Corps" lol he made it

God Bless you guys and stick it out! The Marines are the best (and this from an Air Force veteran). The sense of pride and accomplishment you will have at having earned the name "Marine" will be indescribable. You will be what few are, and many of your friends back at home will still be stocking shelves at Wal-Mart or taking orders at McDonalds.

Why all the civilian cameras? A photo convention at the recruit depot or what?

[@nomadsmg1]

Some thing you might not know unless you have been there, it is about 2 to 3 am in the morning when this is happening. Purposely done to maximize your sense of disorientation and confusion while be processed before being assigned hopefully to a Recruit Training company.

[@StickmanUSMC8541]

Negative on that one Split. Drill Instructor & Recruiting duties are volunteer duties and they are "B" billets (additional duties/MOS's). You have to "apply" (I.E. request) and be selected for both duties (among many other "B" billets). I retired a few years ago as a Gunnery Sergeant (E-7) and although I did recruiting duty, it was a choice and not a requirement.

[@Jawbreaker424]

Bring a tennis racket and some checkers. After you meet your drill instructors they will always march you back from evening chow and the rest of the night you can do whatever you want until lights out at 2330!

[@The3rdINFANTRY]

The Air Force is the lightest boot camp in all of the Armed Forces. The term training is a broad term. As far as initial training, Marine Corps and Army Combat OSUT are the hardest basic training programs. As far as overall training? Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, Green Beret, and other Special Forces & Special Operations Training programs.

When going to bootcamp this is what you should bring The clothes on your back, Glasses if you wear them, a religious text (Your going to want to go to the chapel every Sunday instead of doing some crazy task) Your License, Social Security Card, and no more than $20 in cash AND LABEL EVERYTHING YOU OWN WITH YOUR NAME

I did pretty shity in boot camp. I still graduated Oct. 23rd 1998. After just over three years of service I received an OTH discharge for going u.a. but I did not leave for a Corps related problem. I had a personal problem that had nothing to do with the Marines. I just wanted to say I'm so sorry. I can't change the past but if I could I would. Sorry again. Please forgive me I had issues. God bless.

So in a way, they make themselves angry so the recruits can grow stronger in power. Not a type of tactic i have seen before, but it seems to work. Thanks for the answer!

Most of the time you just need to Sound Off as Loud as possible because during Phase 1 you won't even understand what your Green Belts are saying remember you won't even get the Elementary Stuff because you'll be so confused just try to Move Quick Sound Off because you don't want to be the Booger Recruit. MCRD was Good to Go I loved it but I was nervous at first but it was a challenge and experience that I'm proud that I made through. 10 years to the day I was on my way to MCRD Parris Island.

@Beansy149 So true. It was the the same at Navy boot camp. The job of the DI is to weed out people who can't hack it. That kid will quit if he can't take it, and if that happened, he had no business being a Marine. If he can take it and graduate, he will make a good Marine.

It's weird, but I'm not terrified of the senior drill instructor-he's got that command in his voice without screaming that I find really motivating-which is probably why he's an SDI. I'd wet myself knowing the other two psychopaths are moving towards my bin.

[@LimitlessCXIVI]

They don't scream at you all the time through boot camp just the first couple of weeks, the reason why they do this is Because they want to break you as a person and built you up as a Marine, they also want you to get used to the environment of war, war isnt quiet, Its loud.

@CDresden13 The Marines are usually the first to be sent to combat so they are brutally trained so they may survive in combat with the bare necessities. That is why the Marine Corps is less funded than some of the other branches of the military because they were trained to survive on so little. I wanna join in two years when I'm 19 and I just can't explain why I want to join and neither could anyone else I talked to who wants to join.
