thanks for your service man! i leave for Parris Island in 28 days

+Brandon Bennetzen Who said that??  WHO THE FUCK SAID THAT?  Who's the slimy, piece of shit little twinkle-toe cocksucker that just signed his own death warrant???

+TEX “TELLITLIKEITTIIS” TRUTHER lol

+Charles Taylor What was the "last" formal question your D.I.'s asked the  platoon the night before graduation. If you're for real you will know the  answer to the my question.

+Charles Taylor BTW I wasn't the one that turned them in, Our senior DI was the first to go and then another Di was choking a recruit with his boot while the guy was on his back on the floor,that young man reported it and the DI was gone the next day. I never said it was legal for them to do,but it did happen. I dam sure hope they were better than that after that era.

+Angel Aldape I went thru in 76 and I can tell you they did dam sure hit you. I took an ass whooping for slap boxing another devil pup and another one for smoking on fire watch lol. You had to stand at attention in the gear locker while the DI'S took turn slugging you in the chest area without flinching or it earned you another slug. Call me a liar if you like but it sure did happen and I knew of many recruits getting hit slugged kicked and we figured we could take it because if you were caught by the enemy and couldn't handle pain you were in deep trouble. We lost 2 DI's in my platoon for assaulting recruits. Platoon 207 3-31-76 PI. Semper fi.

+USMCVET78 _ not from what I have heard some still have it bad unless they are under investigation

+TEX “TELLITLIKEITTIIS” TRUTHER old school DI spoke to us in boot camp and said they used to beat recruits. they had a baton they carried and used. look it up.

+Annie Child most of the "Marines" who claimed to be beat up in boot camp at MCT were exaggerating trying to impress their gfs like stolen valor idiots.

+Angel Aldape Nope. Sorry. Either your "friend" is lying or YOU ARE! It just doesn't happen!

+Angel Aldape I highly, highly doubt that they ever had their Drill Instructors physically beat them. So many Marines exaggerate this. I went through Parris Island in 2008 and our Senior Drill Instructor was placed on paid leave for about a week while they were investigating a recruits allegations that they were physically beat. it just doesn't happen like that anymore without someone finding out and Drill Instructors being punished. When I was in MCT after boot I cannot tell you how many guys would sit there and tell their girlfriends or friends back home how they got the shit beat out of them and how bad ass they are now because of it. yeah... nope didn't happen.

My friend graduated from bootcamp in 2012 and he and many others got their ass beat in bootcamp

my friend was a 2000 graduate from Marine Corps boot camp and I told him my uncle went in the 70s and for that he told that was a good era, because DIs were allowed to hit you for messing up big time not just minor mistakes. 

+TEX “TELLITLIKEITTIIS” TRUTHER Well, your friend is sadly mistaken about ANYONE being permitted to STRIKE YOU! The ONLY time a D.I. is permitted to lay his HANDS UPON YOU is to correct the position of ATTENTION! PERIOD!ANY D.I. that laid his HANDS on you for ANY OTHER REASON would risk being COURT MARTIALED!

+60esp You know what is funny is that the Soviet troops would shout the same, Ourah during the charges against the Spanish Division, the SS Police Division and the Estonian SS Division. This Ourah yell as they charged to their deaths. I just learned of this last year in a book. As far as a good kick in the ass, I hear the French Foreign Legion still kick ass like that to their recruits. I wonder if the Russians still do the beatings as well. Did you go to Vietnam?

+apple gummy I was at Parris Island in June July and half of August 1968 and our Senior Drill Instructor was named SSGT.. James Davis and he was a very slim man and one of our two other D.I.'s was a big Black man who was as big as Jim Brown the awesome pro football player for Cleveland I believe and he was about 6 foot 2 inches tall and weighed about 230 pounds and after about 10 of our fellow recruits didn't qualify of the Rifle Range with their M-14 rifles he had us all march around the squadbay and he hit each one of us in the belly with his strong punch. I only liked four points from Expert but he did that to us all. We shot at targets from 200, 300 and 500 yards and I have been wearing glasses since I was about 7 years old. I now just thought of the Black D.I.'s name, SSgt. Goolsby. Oh well maybe I am still here thanks to all the physical punishment I received at Parris Island and later USAF Reservist. Ourah Recon 1970-71!

Well they used to hit you back then

+1pilot2000 Nothing has changed. Trust me on that one.If you have seen Full Metal Jacket, everything you see in the barracks scenes is EXACTLY as it WAS when I was in and still is today.Google R.LEE ERMEY, the actor who played the drill instructor in the movie then you will understand why he played the part so well. He WAS a USMC drill instructor before he left the Corps.

back then, they can't even touch you now, only yell at you

Were? ???? After 23 yrs of being out I still think i'm in. Lol

Well you were a Marine. He formed you into the great guy you are. If he never met you I'm sure he wouldn't be cool with you lol.

+Tutanghi  HAHAHAHA, Hooah man. 

+SiegeofJUDAH. Nah full respecr for my marine brothers... but uhhh ARMY HOOAH??!

+Tutanghi lol

I mean if you say so.

+Joshua Magdzak LOL. Yeah, true! I think my RDC's left to smoke and get drunk. They were like, "Fuck this..." They didn't give a shit.

+windell0121 I'd have told him to go fuck himself

+windell0121 For reals, I saw my Kill Hat with his daughter at graduation. And I was like wait?? this guy reproduced...scary lol

+defcon I was at Parris Island with 2nd. Still weird to me how no one else says Aye Aye _______

+defcon lol not quite

+windell0121 must've been cute over there at 4th battalion.

+windell0121 About five of us were held after Basic (for a week), before being sent to Airborne School (Army PSYOP), and yes, the Drills are quite human! They have the most important job in the Military, which is why we remember their names and respect them till the day we die.

+windell0121 yeah man im not in the US army but when i passed my countries basic a few weeks before passing out parade they gave us implicit instructions not to give them gifts or hug them or thank them at the time we thought that they were joking but no they we'rent by the end we did want to give them gifts we got around the rules though what we did was each section (squad) in the platoon got together and during leave we all chipped in to by gifts then just left them on our desks (4 people to a room where i am) with notes not directed at anyone when we left my section got our Corporal a bottle of blue label you spend 3 months with these guys you get attached to them

+windell0121 same here man, didnt even know how to react to it.

In Honor of SSgt Lavancher and Sgt Benninger and Sgt. Jones of Platoon 3010 3rd Marine Batallion Oct1975. These men were our DIs and are the finest Marines in the Corps. Thank you for turning a punk/ me into a man and a Marine. Semper Fi... Do or Die! For America! For the Marine Corps! Cpl D. C. Griffin

@PHMOSER1 Why not, as much as it means for any Drill Instructor to train the next generation it means just as much to me to recruit the next generation, without the recruiter the Drill Instructor wouldn't have a job. Plus any DI will tell you that recruiting duty is a lot harder then Drill Instructor.

“Those who are truly destined to become Marines will one day wake up in boot camp, while those who toy with the notion of becoming a Marine as if anyone can just become one, will continue to do just that.”

how come some times i see on family day the marines are wearing woodland MARPAT camo, and my friend who jsut graduated from 3rd Bn. Lima Co. wore desert MARPAT on his family day/graduation?

My brother had his graduation here! His name is Dan. He is now in Afghanistan right now surving our country and United States Marine Corps!!!!! Stay safe Dan. Love You

Semper fi! love the marines! love the corp 2 months till i can test myself to make myself into a united states marine I will overcome bootcamp to earn the title!

What's the drill instructor's name who talks at the beginning with the ears that stick out to the side? Is it, by any chance, Drill Instructor Seargent Andrade?

I graduated with all these Marines, October 6th 2006. I was in November Company, Platoon 4033! I can't believe I found this video on here. Miss you girls.

If at all possible can you post the Publishing Info off this Dvd. I want to cite it in an essay about traditions of the Marine Corps. -Cpl

@MarineProudSister Well you can do it, just gotta put your mind to it.

@cvm8281 You should become a Drill Instructor. That would be badass.

@PHMOSER1 I know that's why I can't wait to become a recruiter.

I have a date with the yellow footprints on Feb 27th 2012.

This has got to be the greatest feeling in the world!!!

@ecuasus same here. cant wait to go to parris island

@sk8el3mentfreak It's a season thing i think idk lol.

two more years and i'll be at basic!!! SIMPER FI!!

I can't wait to become a Marine Corps Recruiter!

+Hidden Aspects Oh my bad, I thought you meant the DIs. 

+Paul Neville I seem to remember doing a lot of running

+Hidden Aspects Unified marching (even if it looks ridiculous) encourages teamwork, and teamwork is the foundation of the Marine Corps.
