[@ahubb21]

It's been almost 7 years since I was in bootcamp, and I still remember every damn second of it haha, even remember my DI's. To those who are watching this to get an idea of what to expect in bootcamp, just know it has changed a lot, it is incredibly challenging, but worth every second. Oorah Marines.

[@TheCrypticKiller]

Think you can give a future Marine advice?

[@ahubb21]

Cryptic Killer For bootcamp?

[@TheCrypticKiller]

Alex Hubbard Yea to prepare for it.

[@ahubb21]

Cryptic Killer Stay loud, keep your chin up, eyes forward, move with a purpose, and stay motivated. There will be A LOT of drill (marching) so, get used to that. Listen to what the DI's will tell you, and you will have no problems with the drill. You can easily shoot expert at the range if you listen to the range instructors. Also, get ready for a lot of people to be screaming in your face. It sounds simple, but it's a huge change. Just stay motivated, and remember why you're there, and you will have no problems. :)

[@TheCrypticKiller]

Alex Hubbard Thank you. OORAH

[@werewolf15orlando]

At some point I expected the bayonet instructor to start rapping.

[@NJASZN]

I'm very thankful for our military and nothing I say or do can ever truly demonstrate. My father was and MP and though I never enrolled he instilled what he learned in me and I carry that discipline with me every day and it makes me thankful that we have these brave men and women protecting this amazing country in these very turbulent times.

[@burnttoast7740]

It's absolutely amazing how much work these people go through to protect us and our country, God bless them all.

[@maxthedoodler]

I know a lot of countries will spit on America for no reason, but after having travelling there and learning about the USMC's brave, tough, and cool history, I have to say you guys are some nasty son of a bitches. Now I see why you guys have that tough guy reputation. This video was awesome.

[@Icedookie]

lol wtf

[@ubercooper]

AYE DMX SIR!

[@hhh417]

I have been living in Mexico City for the past 3 months (Dual Citizen), and I was a little nervous about going back to Arizona and enlisting because I did not know what to expect or anything else of that nature. However thanks to this video, I feel more comfortable about returning and enlisting, not to mention motivated . If everything goes well, God-Willing I will be part of the United States Marine Corps.

[@Sniperwolfmr]

When I went to bootcamp in 07, that navy chaplain at 1:37 was the man who motivated me to get through the tough times. Without him, I don't think I would have made it past week 2. I hope he is still at Parris Island doing what he does best.

[@KellysCArmel0ne]

dang..he do sound like dmx lol the whole time

[@LatinoAD]

That drill instructor at 2:30 sounds like DMX lol.

[@alans3030]

[@JTGMusic51]

[@haideraltimimi5452]

[@lionsonlyboxing8093]

This video got me interested in the corps 8 years later I’ll be going to boot camp

[@markharris7594]

"you understand that right?"

[@Alex-yv4dl]

I REALLY want to be in the marines, but I was diagnosed with asthma as a baby. My breathing isn't really even bad anymore now I am 14. Is there a way that I can still be in Marines?? PLZ HELP.

[@CreativeBlackDude]

Bro, I am in the same predicament. All you really need to do is prove to your recruiter that you have no problems with your respiratory system as of today versus when you were a child, and you shall be set. I too had asthma at a young age, but now it isn't a problem and I am now a pooled waiting for boot camp.

[@Alex-yv4dl]

I'm too sex don't touch my legs Okay thank you for replying

[@Soldier1287]

I had childhood asthma and I joined no problem at all. I didn't make it through though. got sent home.

[@CreativeBlackDude]

Soldier1287 Why'd you get sent home? Was it the asthma?

[@Soldier1287]

got in a fight. no not asthma. I said childhood asthma for a reason lol. I was gonna be 0'311

[@josephjones6036]

Parris island here I come

[@tombrown998]

Good luck brother. There is nothing better than walking down that field on graduation day knowing you have earned the title marine. But never forget who you are where you come from and when you take that oath it's to defend the people of the United states our rights and constitution. Not to do just what they tell you

[@jjkeion]

Joining the U.S. Marine Corps Infantry Fall 2013!!! I can't wait!!!

[@paulrobinson893]

thank you i appreciate your kindness and faith in me

[@SS-mg4lm]

I want to join the marines. What kind of medical exams do you have to pass

[@belgianchocolate7100]

Prostate exam

[@datboi8921]

that's what I was wondering too

[@agentupton]

MEPS/ASVAP

[@bcomes1550]

Did two people really just call the ASVAB the 'ASVAP'?

[@agentupton]

Bcomes shit

[@Rareed63]

If you ever get off my Island. you better get off my grass,I loved the ownership stuff my this my that. I was coming out of Detroit on I-96 west bound in my Semi. Trucks are not allowed in the left lane but I was in a hurry so i took the left lane and passed soon after I was pulled over by a trooper and as soon as I jumped down and was walking back to him he said what are you doing in my left lane? I smiled and said Marine Corps, he asked how did I know he had been in the Corps? I said the ownership BS he busted out laughing and just gave me a verbal warning about the left lane.

[@TonicofSonic]

Keep driving trucks because your an otherwise useless citizen. Too fat to work, and to stupid to do anything but follow orders...

+Caedus I don't think there's an MOS for tank crewman anymore in the Marine Corps. I might be wrong tho

[@lunarivera9225]

I'm so proud of my cousin Josh Rivera, he is at boot camp right know and got me thinking into joining the Marines too! LOVE YOU CUZZY & WE MISS YOU!

[@XxDJHALLOWEENxX]

I just got back from my recruiters office we just watched this video im watching it again.

[@XxDJHALLOWEENxX]

Fuck yeah!!!!!!!! im in now gonna swear in next hahha i remember posting this comment hahaha life is good

[@TheMoonKity]

I'm 18, and literally on the verge of enlisting in the army. But I've been having seconds thought on wanting to join the marines. Does anyone have any experience with this or advice on what to do? I just don't want to be the average joe in the army and I feel the marines will make me feel like I've actually accomplished something.

[@HolyEyeWasHere]

Do you want to specialize in kicking ass? If so then go Marines. Nothing dishonorable about the Army though. Marines are aggressive, violent, and tough as nails. They're job is to take a lot of abuse and kill the enemy. Your decision can be made by deciding in what way are you prepared to serve your country. Personally I think the Army would be a better choice if you're planning a long term career.

[@ZanickyGaming]

I was thinking about Army, then I started being compelled towards the Marine Corps.

[@nkel6111]

go army...better food, softer matresses

[@nkel6111]

masscashstacks bullshit...been reading too many comics

[@HolyEyeWasHere]

N Kel I'm not a fantasy guy. What was bullshit about what I said?

[@PhineasFlynn]

GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMP! WHAT'S YOUR SOLE PURPOSE IN THIS ARMY???

[@Karpetoeter]

***** Well you are a goddamn genius Gump!

[@Fantastic21AJ]

That was the Army.

[@glock31357sig]

Meeting with a recruiter this week, very pumped

[@MrCrazyshots]

I leave tomorrow to PI. Never been so pumped in my life.

[@lankage1]

[@mrichdaman]

Thumbs up if the black marine instructor sounds like DMX lol

[@49erLUV69]

Brings back old memories.....

[@oscaraguilar6332]

So much respect for these guys, can't wait to enlist next year. ( hopefully they'll accept me tho.)

[@lommy1989]

the black dudes sounds like DMX

[@LoverOfQuestionMark]

Ultimate american fighters unreal. They are poor kids. They need to make some cash and get a military uniform. Just don't give yourself ongoing voice of propaganda. If you do that, you will be just some professional's dinner. That professionals are Iraqies and Palestians. They just fight for what they own before. Before thievers came their lands. Like vietnam, like native america, like afghanistan, like japan. What clue you need? Then i can give you really.

[@Fantastic21AJ]

Valen son HAha lol Nice that was good.

[@jfish1212]

i was in this video. when we get off the buss and line up on the yellow footprints. i always wondered why there was a camera crew there that night at 2 am. changed my life. wow. its amazing.

[@DillonEspe]

i appreciate that you are willing to do that and much luck to you sir wear the colors with pride

[@Squids_Vlogs]

poor kids don't even know what theyre really doing

[@minywheats]

I was 19 and knew exactly what I was doing.

[@ItsZifx]

How's that? They went there for a reason

[@Squids_Vlogs]

ItsZifx most of them don't know shit about how war is a business and how corrupt it is. the war on terror is a perfect example, but what i say wont stop them from having their fun

[@josephjones6036]

Shut up please

[@theamerijuanican7869]

Oh they're well aware of what they're doing, and if they weren't before they damn sure are now.

[@MalaYLoca]

The black dude @ the beginning sounds like DMX lol

[@ExiledFury]

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

[@NickGauthreaux]

[@nicholasc1987]

[@elpelucas94]

this brings bacl so much memories

[@Myusernameistakenwtf]

I have a friend who left for boot camp 2 days after he graduated. Im wishing him luck.

[@BFitwithBree]

24 is perfectly fine. You'll be more mature and hopefully can handle yourself accordingly. One ofbmy fellow recruits was 26 on graduation day. Prepare and make sure to be phisically fit and mentally ready to do whatever it takes and endure whatever comes. Good luck, Semper Fi.

[@untouch37]

Thats whats up keep up the good work

[@TravelwithPavel]

This video is from official marine corps site and this looks more like Army boot camp, Marine is much different, especially first few hours. You can check it on youtube

[@tehsnipatres208]

It would’ve been funny if the drill instructor looked at a recruit and said “X Gon’ Give It To Ya”

[@XxDJHALLOWEENxX]

Ship in August I went from 27 crunches to 76 in 2 week. I really want this. This is one in a life time opportunity.

[@ambergibb7450]

Ayyy, August shipping club ! lol Nice improvement on those crunches though, I was the same way. What kind of PT do you guys do?

[@XxDJHALLOWEENxX]

We run do crunches pull ups flutter kicks squats push ups ect....

[@BornBuffalonian]

Ship date isn't till May. A part of me wants to leave tomorrow but I know I need to take this time to train and go in there in the best shape possible.

[@usmc_vlad1711]

Can't wait till I join

[@whatsgood4257]

These are gonna be the toughest 13 weeks of my life but i'm not gonna give up. OORAH

[@SteeleBergen]

[@blakewideman1502]

I'm going in 2yrs when I turn 17 I'm 15 and all those who serve and the ones who served thank you

[@andrewmarin1298]

Did you join

[@nwall989898]

I love the rasp in the voice of the DI's from so much yelling. lol

[@lovatojonasfan1]

Holy crap I never realized how different Parris Island is from San Diego until after watching this.

[@rmp5s]

@1:37 is the most epic Chaplain in the history of the Navy, IMO. He was the tiny bit of refuge we got in boot camp and was a total pleasure to serve with in Afghanistan. OORAH CHAPLAIN AMERICA!!

[@jhondoe473]

Graduating high school in 4 days leaving for boot camp at parris island in 38days, time went hella fast

YES SIR!!! YES SIR!!! YES SIR!!! everything is a training!

[@techgeekism]

Can't wait till I ship out

[@ufcfan616]

congrats dude

[@ItsDowens]

That is true. I saw a show where there were 339 candidates, only 109 were left at graduation and a number of them still didn't make it. They say it's the hardest type of soldier to become.

[@SuperManFan1775]

7 months and 20 days till I enlist and then I go swear in im already doing PT with my fellow pooles I cant wait till I goto boot camp lol it's gonna be tough but It is 90% mental and 10% physical

[@blackstone1897]

I see a lot of people comparing the Marines & the Army in the comment section.. let me start by saying the fact that people even compares the Marines (smallest branch in the military) to the Army (biggest branch in the military) says the Marines are the better branch! The Marines is like the Special Ops Branch of the military because every Marine is a rifleman but every soldier is not, anybody can be a soldier but not anybody can be a Marine & that's facts, they're not the smallest branch for no reason.. now as far as population of coarse the Army got it, which makes them more versatile than the Marine Corps & the Army has more technology but im not talking about that im talking about when it comes to "boots on the ground" straight up man power, the Marines make their livings off that they are the modern day Spartans.. don't get me wrong the Army has the Rangers & Green Berets but the Marine Corps has MARSOC "Raiders" & not only the Marines has a Special Ops but their whole branch is so combat oriented that the whole Corps could be a Special Force compared to the Navy, Air Force & Army the Combat Training is just that much intense compared to those other branches & the culture is just so battle ready! For example if I did 4 years in the Marine Corps & wanted to switch branches, no matter what branch I want to switch to I wouldn't have to participate in their Boot Camps but if its vice versa you would have to go through Marine BCT no matter what that tells you how rough Marine BCT really is the only thing worst than that is Special Forces training & we all know how bad that is! The Marines are basically the face of the military. Who you see guarding the White House? Marines. Who the President salutes before he gets on his private jet? Marines. Who stands besides the President when he is giving his important speeches? Marines. There's a reason for that! Its a reason why they have these giant egos because of all the pain, suffering, blood, sweat & tears they had to endure to earn being labeled a Marine & they know most couldn't go through what they been through physically & mentally to have a chance to walk in their shoes & earn that title! you join the Army as a soldier, you join the Navy as a sailor, you join the Air Force as a airman (or whatever the fuck the Air Force call themselves) but you got to literally earn the title of being a Marine & if you don't your not graduating BCT, they don't call it the "few & the proud" for no reason.. the USMC is hands down the best fighting force in the world! & they also has the best uniforms in the United States Military, dress uniforms & combat unifroms

[@MrBretMK]

I leave for Parris Island on October 28th 2013! Not sure on my MOS yet. I can't wait37 days till I become a scared little recruit.

[@121KS121]

In boot camp, any (yes/no) question gets either "Yes, Sir" or "No, Sir." In boot camp, it's almost always "Yes, Sir" when it's a question. "Aye, Sir" is actually "Aye Aye, Sir" but it's said quickly to where it really should sound more like "Icer," can be thought of as, "I understand; I will comply," and is used in response to commands and sometimes statements when a response of acknowledgement is expected. Last one is more of a nuance that is picked up after a while.
