What New Marine Corps Recruits Go Through In Boot Camp | Boot Camp | Business Insider

We got an inside look at the United States Marine Corps’ intense 13-week basic training program. Senior video correspondent Graham Flanagan spent five days at the Marine Corps Recruit Training Depot in Parris Island, South Carolina, where he observed different companies at various stages of training.
Recruits endure a series of intense physical challenges such as entering a gas chamber, rappelling down a 47-foot-tower, and fighting each other with “pugil sticks.” The Marine Corps is the only US military branch that separates male and female recruits during basic training. In a statement to Business Insider, a spokesperson from the Marine Corps Recruit Training Depot at Parris Island said, “The same gender platoon model allows for appropriate acclimation to the training environment, development of key relationships with drill instructors, and optimal focus during the beginning of their transformation.”
After weeks of extreme physical and psychological challenges, training culminates with “The Crucible,” a 54-hour event where recruits endure exhausting combat scenarios while running on minimal food and sleep.

Cried watching this. I miss it. Bootcamp was an unbelievable experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life. It’s sucks that once you hit the fleet, all your motivation gets sucked out of you by your senior lances. But you must push on and keep moving forward. I deployed twice, saw the world. But still, bootcamp was the best experience I had in the Marine Corps. Holds a special place in my heart. Now I’m in the Air Force, furthering my career. To any future Marines out there, good luck, and slay, Devil

[@valentintellez8909]

Motivation and Discipline are for you to keep! Don’t let anyone suck it out of you, you are the captain of your own ship, and you choose your fate. I could’ve followed the same path in the fleet, but I keep that discipline and motivation, and because of it I truly enjoy the marine corps. Boot camp is still my favorite experience, but it is up to you to control your emotions, and your motivation.

[@brokenpotato438]

"It’s sucks that once you hit the fleet, all your motivation gets sucked out of you by your senior lances." Can you elaborate on that?

[@luisacosta4393]

@@brokenpotato438sure thing brother. You see, when you go through bootcamp, you get molded. By the end you feel changed, motivated, accomplished, you actually feel on top of the world because you know you did something hard, you pushed yourself, you feel unstoppable, and mostly proud. But once you go to the school for your job and graduate, you get sent to your duty base. And there, once you arrive, you’re considered a “boot.” You’re the new guy, and people that have been there for a hot minute dislike your motivation. They’ll degrade you ect. At least that’s how the infantry is. But it’s all part of the program. They’re training you to be tough, to be a killer. But once you deploy, and get your own boots, the cycle repeats itself. Now you’re that guy who dislike the new motivated devil, because he reminds you of what you used to be, young, motivated. But instead you’re now broken, your body hurts. And at the end of the day, you know why you went through a lot of sh*t. To rate. Because when you’re new the guy, you don’t rate sh*t. You have to earn your units trust, and respect. Cheers!

One of my favorite boot camp memories was during the confidence course. There was this one specific exercise where we had to cross over a large pool by moving sideways by standing on a rope beneath us, while we grabbed the another rope above. The idea was to move, and spread our arms and legs while saying “X”, and then bring them back together, and say “I”. I remember watching the recruits do that specific exercise yelling “X”, “I”, “X”, “I”, “X”. If you know anything about boot camp, you aren’t allowed to say “I” or “me”, so the drill instructor started screaming at us for it. We then started screaming “X”, “This Recruit”, “X”, “This Recruit”, “X”. Boot camp was one of the most miserable places ever, but I swear the drill instructors throw in a few jokes just to make it slightly more tolerable 🤣

[@eadghe]

Could be worse. Some people got no one to call. But on the bright side, in case that persons without anyone to call bites the dust, there will be no deeply sad relatives/friends, although people love the idea that people mourn for them, which is sorta egoistic and weird. When someone is dead, he can't witness it anyway - but who would want to witness something like that?

[@christianroberts1121]

When my brother went, we discussed not answering his call, but letting it go to voicemail so she could replay it. Just as planned.

You are amazing, you got this, and things will get better in your life, you will do great things, and so many people and I are proud of you.
