I'm not a Marine, but I feel he is doing great indoc and forming them into men

[@NoPhoKingWay]

And just after the video ends is the point where all hell breaks loose lol.

[@JonPohlmann]

Some serious flashbacks watching this. I graduated boot camp in 1987 and remember that moment vividly.

[@JMYaden]

Fantastic. Love his levels. My God, you would need to carry bags of lozenges with this job.

[@maclectic]

Dude needs to chill out!!!

[@TimkenCourt]

Dude need to lay off them peppers.

77 Parris island to 81 sarge once corporal twice 😅 it was a challenge but it was Life well lived with honor😊

[@LarryWright-sh4oy]

Making men

[@chademery9169]

Take away the uniform and the loud voice and it almost sounds like a parent helping a child grow up.

[@lesmcevers915]

Been there, done that. Turned 18 in bootcamp.

[@petermillist3779]

I’ve got a headache 😂

[@stevekrom7668]

They weren’t worried about mistreating anyone when I was in boot in 1983. Semper Fi!

[@ahappilydrunkpuppy8961]

Yeah, now they are desperate as hell for recruits. I saw them giving ice cream to entice people to consider doing their boot camps.

[@ahappilydrunkpuppy8961]

You think you’re bragging but no one wants to enlist in the military because it sucks.

[@josephludwig1126]

I never witnessed my leaders do the same. Joke

Platoon 1030 Alpha Company graduated May 22, 1987 MCRD San Diego Semper Fi

[@mikecagle984]

This is good, but nothing compared to what we endured in the 1970s during boot camp!

[@ThomaskellySr.]

Been there done that at San Diego, USMC boot camp. I was lucky enough to be there before congress ripped their nuggets off and it became a big deal if you were abused a little. SEMPER FI 1973

[@williamlayton1827]

Can’t understand half the shit he’s saying

[@DavidWenger-tw4dz]

82-86 active duty Marine, my greatest motivation in boot camp was in no way be a non hacker and get sent home a failure. Semper Fi

[@leeaaron7856]

If you have been in the army long enough, you will know that the most devastating instructor is not the one who talks the loudest, but the one who talks the softest.

[@ajosralastname7823]

Im just watching and my shirt tucket in

[@joenehama2731]

Vance needs to listen and understand these words

[@marksnexus]

Eyeballs! 👀

[@obkb1150]

I feel like I've seen and heard this exact same lecture somewhere before on KZbin.

[@saywatnow5171]

yeah its just a reupload

[@rchrdjms62]

We are doomed when the DI tells him if he is mean to them report him to somebody.

[@ahappilydrunkpuppy8961]

You’re doomed because no one wants to enlist to begin with. Maybe if so many officers didn’t abuse their powers and authority, maybe enlistment wouldn’t be an issue.

[@garc0113]

Semper Fi.80-84.The marine corps will live forever.that means you will live forever you are part of a brother hood

[@AndyHerrmann-hv4ew]

Seems very childish

[@theguywithone]

Go through it and then get back to us on that.

[@ericleshinskie7233]

SIR YES SIR!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ar-15techtipsinunder5minut8]

lol!

[@marytorres4843]

Maybe you laugh at Marines. But I don't!

[@paulkersey1007]

How does this guy not have high blood pressure or pop a blood vessel taking like this.

[@ar-15techtipsinunder5minut8]

@@marytorres4843 im laughing at how silly he looks way over playing the acting, so yes lol

[@DavidWenger-tw4dz]

It’s called the Socratic method, a way to reach people through a process of intense pressure placed on the recruit, it weeds out the non hackers and leaves you with just the “FEW”! In other words everyone left standing is all on the same page. Now we laugh!! Semper Fi

[@anthonygomez446]

Definitely drank to much caffeine. This guy is hilarious

[@DavidWenger-tw4dz]

I bet you would not be laughing if you were there. And if you do, they have a program for individuals!

[@rickmoreno253]

Need us to protect people like yourself

[@Gary-s8e]

say. what
