I enlisted in the Marine Corps reserves in 1955, then went Regular Marine Corps in '56. I have no way of knowing if today's Marine carries heavier or lighter gear, but I do believe they are better trained. We were trained well, and DI's did use their fists to emphasize what they were teaching, but we carried the M1 and the BAR. There were no night-vision goggles or GPS-assist compasses or MRI's. Someday, when today's Marines are as old as I am now (82), they will be sitting around talking in amazement at how the new Marines of 2060 are armed with laser rifles and atomic grenades and can fly into combat propelled by the field-pack on their backs. And so it goes, and has gone since the first day at Tun's Tavern when the first Marines enlisted.

Connor tb12 I mean the weight we carry honestly isn’t even that bad. We’ll roll into a country with maybe 100+ pounds of gear with us but if you think we’re carrying around all that weight into a fight you’d be crazy, haha. Usually we’ll just have a helmet, plate carrier with plates in it, 6 mags, a rifle, a camelbak full of water, a couple grenades, a pistol if you’re qualified to carry one, and a small backpack with whatever you might need in it. The whole loadout honestly isn’t that heavy. It takes some time getting used to walking around in it but it gets easier as time goes on

To me, this is where it's at...being a basic Infantry Marine. When you tell people you're a Marine that's what they imagine that you do in the Corps. Despite the over 180 Military Occupational Specialties in the Corps, this is the one they think of at first thought. Though, everyone gets a taste of it in bootcamp I don't think a lot of people would make it to the end of SOI without the dedication and perseverance. Kudos to all these young adventurous and dedicated men (and women) choosing this hardcore path to begin their lives. 👍👍

[@brucepeckham6043]

[@brucepeckham6043]

I had a very similar experience. You had to prove yourself a couple years and if you did, you could volunteer for the recon indoc, if you were lucky, right place right time. Not many Marines got the chance but i did when I was 20, just got back from one year at Okinawa, then Camp LeJeune, in orientation they said they were looking for super tough grunts who might have the backbone and who can swim in the water. I volunteered. We had like 59 but only 9 of us graduated. I did this in 1982 and became a member of Charlie Company, 2nd Recon Btn. We lost almost an entire platoon with 1/8 in Beirut. Never forget that ever. Meanwhile, Alpha 2nd Recon was the spearhead in taking Granada at the same time, and I knew some of them. I will never forget

[@brucepeckham6043]

My nephew is MARSOC and he had to spend two years in infantry, then he evolved as the best swimmer and became LIFE GUARD at the Camp Pendelton main pool on base for a year. They actually recruited him personally because of his good track record and exceptional water/swimming skills. He is E5 after four years and he has been through special schools that i never knew existed. I like MARSOC a lot because they pick carefully, but they expanded the school to nine (9) months - they have their own Ranger School phase - This is why MARSOC Marines do not go to Army Ranger school

I went to Geiger in '83 and was Company Honorman, picked up L/CPL. I was Series high PFT at PI. To this day I regret not trying for Recon. I just didn't think I was a good enough swimmer.

Guto Füchs Who the fuck told you that? Whoever did was lying. At boot camp you were “guaranteed” sleep from 8pm to 4am, that doesn’t include firewatch or DIs fucking with you. That’s just boot camp, where you’re guarantee certain rights. This is SOI, the phase of training after Boot Camp. These guys are already Marines. SOI is “supposed” to teach you how to operate in a combat environment. That means no guaranteed times for sleep, I was up for 3 days straight at one point. Usually you’ll get 6-4 hours a night, less if, again, you have firewatch or instructors fucking with you.

Unless you've been through it, you'll never know just how transformative Marine train really is. In 1967, I showed up at OCS as a clueless college grad. Boy was I shocked. The DI's tear you down and then transform you into something close to a Marine. Then I had 6 months of training at The Basic School at Quantico, VA and then to Vietnam as a platoon commander in 1968. Changed my entire life and the way I view the world even today at 73 years old.

[@stevefowler2112]

I went thru ITR at Geiger in '74...We started every morning with a 5 mile "Lake run" (There was no lake but that's what they called it). We'd run one mile then stop and immediately go into plyometric stuff (bends and thrusts, pushups, leg lifts, situps, mountain climbers, et al), and repeat for 5 miles. Our final Go/No Go was a timed 25-mile hump with full field marching pack and 782 gear. I had run cross country in H.S. and played football and baseball and had always been a very natural athlete but when I left ITR I was in the best shape of my life.

[@floofycatz]

Interesting to see the difference in climate and geographical elements between the East and West training locations. Watching the mortarmen training reminds of the scene from The Pacific where Sledge was training as a mortarman.

[@jeffmathis8627]

They sure have a lot more cool weapons and gizmos to play with than we had. I think they are better trained than we were. 50 years ago you were trained to be a good marksman with a Rifle and maybe one other weapon then your ass was sent off to Vietnam for some really fucked up OJT.

[@DonaldPillow]

You can tell the difference between recruits training and Marines training; less tears

[@colarguns]

This looks like camp Geiger. I was stationed there with 8th Marines back in early 80’s. We were the last to live in squad bays, I think.

Squad bays are still used for infantry training battalion (ITB). That was back in 2012

I was in Delta company. The instructors are calm due to the cameras. They are usually yelling. Also they dont show in between exercises the fight to not fall asleep while sitting around.

[@BMF6889]

I went through TBS in 1968. I can see just about everything is different and by different I mean better. Better equipment, better weapons, better training areas, etc. But the instructors are the same except we didn't have women instructors in 1968. My first assignment out of Basic School was as an infantry platoon commander in Vietnam. Hard year.

[@gregisbased5205]

Hard year is an understatement. You are a different breed, Semper FI sir.

1968 was a tough year to be a US Marine, after the Marines had been there (Vietnam) four (4) years already. Semper Fi Mac

Called ITR when I was there in 1965. I'm assuming this is Camp Geiger. I did basic combat training Advanced combat training special weapons training and then rotated to Recon. The gear we had was terrible compared to what you guys have now

Sarah Burns contact a local recruiter and get into the dep program. They have them all over the country for highschoolers looking to enlist and you can make your commitment early n start learning knowledge and training with recruiters & they design PT and workout plans for their Poolees. I was in it and shipped out to bootcamp it helped me a lot.

Good to see the USMC has changed respect to training for 03 MOS. As a former 0311 Fire Team leader, Squad Leader, Plt Sgt, sadly I rarely ever live fired my weapon or did much in the way of meaningful training. Guys coming into the Infantry rarely came voluntarily. Open contracts, school drops ect.

[@tomdet8566]

Excellent video clip... I see so many reaction videos that only focus on boot camp ... and yeah, it’s a shock to the system and all-- at the same time these are the videos people should see when they want to see the Corps... where new Marines learn their profession and get their Guts checked. It’s not easy and there is no clowning around with guys screaming in your face ... it’s hard and speaks to what makes the Marine infantryman unique. Watch this before you react to another DI video.

Can't wait to enlist after college.

[@IamSupreme333]

ESTJ Warrior Why enlist if youre going to college. you might as well be an officer

[@estjwarrior4949]

It's not about the money or benefits that come from the Officer route. I want to go enlisted because I want that experience and I want to be as involved as I possibly can.

[@theproswaginist8293]

ESTJ Warrior bruh. you gonna be wishing for officer soon

[@basicbodybuilding]

ESTJ Warrior dont be stupid, go be an officer, what " experience" are you talking about?? You still are getting an experience. And you're right that its not about money or benefits, but at the end of the day, the marine corps has already spent money on those benefits . So you might aswell take advantage as much as possible, you'll have way more saved up when you get out than if you went went enlisted.

[@basicbodybuilding]

ESTJ Warrior trust me, you'll get way more involved being an officer
