My dad was a marine, so when I called my dad once I arrived to MCRD San Diego, I could hear him chuckle and laughing while I barely heard my mom in the back sound scared cause of my DI’s screaming at me. To this day my dad says that’s his favorite phone call I’ve ever made to him
My son just faked calling someone because he knew I would've probably laughed at him myself, but he's now in Okinawa making me and his mother proud serving our Country!!🇺🇸
I’m telling you, as a marine who just finished boot camp, do it. Just do it. The only things you’ll miss are being comfortable and complacent. If you are someone who finds themselves feeling lost, even when it’s looks like you have it figured out. Join. It’ll fill that void. I can say that and I ain’t even done nothing yet. I’m just fresh outta boot. Please do yourself a favor and do it.

When I was in boot camp, I suffered so much stress that my back gave out, and I could no longer do sit-ups for a couple of weeks. I remember crying about it, and one of the back up DI's took me into a back room and told me not to worry about it.
I lasted two weeks at MCRD San Diego. I was told by the series commander that "I am sending you to Balboa park navy hospital for an evaluation". I got sent there and I did what I wanted IE read newspapers, magazines, watch anything on TV. I spent about four days at the hospital and I was interviewed by a Navy psychiatrist, and a psychologist. They were all commanders, on the fifth day. I was seen by the senior medical officer who was a Navy captain and he handed down the decision. "After these extensive interviews held by our mental health staff of the United States Navy Bureau of Medicine & Surgery. We have made a decision that I was to be separated from the United States Marine corps". My days as a marine was over. I was given $500, a new pair of shoes, shirt, and trousers as well as a one way ticket back to Oakland, California on a United airlines Boeing 737.
@@frankdenardo8684 You missed out because those 4 years would have been so enriching to your life. You see so many places, so many faces depending on your job and if it travels alot. I've never had the wonderful experiences in life as what I had in the military.
@@Pllm30 Like the old Camel Filters ad says "Camel filters are not for everyone". I was not cut out for it, besides the recruiter got me a "mickey mouse" job. I had too many issues that would be detrimental to troop morale. The doctors at Balboa Navy Hospital gave me an evaluation and told me I was going to be released. I got paid. I got new clothes and a one way ticket on United Airlines courtesy of the Marine corps.
@@frankdenardo8684 Why did you waste time going in in the first place if you knew you had issues? Your recruiter didn't get you a mouse job, you qualified into that job. They put you where they need you and your skills.
First, I went in at 18. Most 18 year olds don't know their butt from a whole in the ground. I also went in to get away from very mean and overbearing parents. The issues that I suffered such as my back going out and extreme crying spells came directly from the military. The extreme amount of exercise we did in boot camp caused my back to go out the very first time in my life. Secondly, I cried so much one time because when I left bootcamp and went out in the field, we deployed so very much and did not have adequate facilities causing me to be stressed and suffereing back skin diseases due to living in filthy conditions while on deployment causing me to be irritated plus they were chaotic and disorganized my superiors. You are correct, they did put me where I qualified, but I didn't realize that then because I was only 18, wet behind the ears and raised by a narcissistic mother who trained me to be self entitled. I hope this answers your question. It was a good question though that you asked. I'm glad you asked it.
Im grateful and am sincerely thankful for all the marines who have sacrificed their lives. Brings me to tears when I see marines are the first to land on beaches in the movies. All the horror they face but still pushes on. Thank you marines for your courageous service.
From an Army vet, I have a newfound respect for Marines and the Marine Corps!! I had no idea how stringent BCT was for Marines. Made my basic training look like daycare💯. Much respect from one ground pounder to another
SEMPER Fi ! I'm glad to hear an honest comment from a soldier about some of the shit the Marines, put you through I served over 8 - years in the corps from 1980 - 1988 train train train train train train train. I think you get it.
@@ninjatortise8958 army basic is only 8-9 weeks. What are you talking about? Are you adding infantry training and MOS school? Marine bootcamp alone is 13 weeks. SOI/MCT is another 4-12 weeks. MOS school is another 4 - 12 weeks depending on your MOS. Court reporters school was about a year.
da biz yeah i was in navy bootcamp but got separated. i joined for the physical part and serving. The navy is just for smart people or people that want to study. they have you study forever while you’re in.
I was in the Army. Met a guy who went through Navy basic training and actually put on some weight in fat. The Navy does have some amazing job training opportunities though... Like if you are smart enough to get into the nuclear field there, it's a 2 year training and sets you up for jobs earning well over 100K a year after you leave the service.
Yea Navy training is just annoying to be honest, it was really easy just stressful at times but nothing compared to Marine or Army training. I joined the Navy to study engineer, if I wanted to be a monster combat warrior I would've definitely chose marines lol
If it a walk in the park why not join up like the rest of us we have just as many certifications if not more that can get you a job when you decide to get out because that all that matters in the end
Best times of my life was being an 8404 FMF. Proudest day was earning having the honor of my Marines calling me Doc. Miss my fallen brothers, brotherhood for life. At ease Marines, I will take the watch from here on, you’ve earned the rest. SEMPER FIDELIS.
How to be a drill Sargent Step 1. Learn to yell louder than physically possible Step 2. Have multiple vains showing through your neck to the point you can see the blue in them
@@stone65037 As someone who has met both Drill Instructors and Drill Sergeants, they are nothing the same. DS's will never compare to the intensity and fear induced from Drill Instructors.
random 5 iv met drill sarns that have been just as intense or even more we had a drill slam a private on the ground for not putting his weapon on safe and it was pointed in a safe direction during buddy live fire. And a private got slammed and all his ribs broke for not putting his bowl to the food so don’t sit there and act like you have met all the drills in the world
I would be crying and soooooo regretting I signed that paper😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 My Dad was a Drill Sergeant. He was mixture of George Jefferson and Barney Fife slim. What an AWESOME AND AMAZING MAN HE WAS. He passed at age 48. I still can here his STRONG but LOVING voice coming from a Man of 5"8!! We were a blessed Family. God bless our Marines!!!🇺🇸
I recently started learning the history of the United States Marine Corps. This is because when I was 20 I was working on a CH46E helicopter at a Japanese company called NIPPI. I have met a lot of U.S. Marine pilots and soldiers Everyone was excellent and kind. In Japan, only the current U.S. Marines are reported, not until they learned that they were actually established hundreds of years ago. I will continue to learn. Thank you very much.
Once you're out of school you're just not around teenagers that much. Having most military movies star actors that are 25+ (especially as recruits) doesn't help either.
The word infantry comes to us from a Latin for infant, because War is a Young man's sport, infact, The Marine Corps cutoff is 29 because bones don't regenerate fast enough if you never exercise vigorous for long periods of time in your life. MCRD SD 1986
I’m in rokmc thanks to service all us mc. 2month ago I met usmc in korea and they were really kind and i felt they are real crazy dog , they helping us a lot :) I hope see you guys next exercise
I never got the chance to properly serve. I tried joining the U.S. Air Force at 19 and I was in completely over my head. I wasn't ready emotionally, psychologically, or physically, and I still regret that at 51. I never made it. I hope all of you do the rest of us proud.
@@gabrielguzman6018 I graduated Air Force boot camp a couple months ago and maybe it was different back then but Air Force basic training was literally a joke Lol. We treated it like summer camp, there was one kid who didn’t know how to fix a bed until a week before we graduated and he still made it
@@darionthecreator7284 It's not that bad. The first week is nerve-racking... Like you deal with all the nervousness of stuff and adapting to it. But after that you do get used to the yelling, and you stop becoming home-sick because you're soooo busy during the days. At night you're so tired you fall asleep as soon as you hit the bed. Just don't be afraid to do something wrong, everyone does something wrong, the drill sergeants yell at first but they explain and teach you how to do it right and that is all. Remember they want you to get better and succeed, they want you to get through training so they can move on to the next group to train. I joined the Army right after high school. Did 4 years active, got some amazing training in computer networking and technology.. Even some college credits from the courses I took in learning computers and some certifications. Now I have a job in that field and love it, really set me up for success with zero student loan debts.
God Bless him. I'm having thoughts of joining the marines after I obtain my AA Degree in Administration of Justice. Then after my life in the marines is over I want to join S.W.A.T
I was in MCRD San Diego in the 80s. This video reminds of the time just like it was yesterday, although the program is a little different now. Semper Fi.
Some Ex-Marines should offer a Preparatory Program for the Marine Program. Focusing on weight training, endurance, load bearing hikes, fight training, firearms basics, and navigation skills. Hopefully, most recruits would understand the need for swim training prior to joining the Marine Program. The need for basic coordination skills would also be of importance for the recruit to attain. That may be Gymnastics, Jiu Jitsu, Thai Boxing, Wrestling, Football, Rugby, Triathlon, Weight Training, Track and Field, or combination of these disciplines, but not restricted to these particular pursuits. Basically, you need strength, flexibility, and endurance, but being able to catch punches with your face, as well as causing people pain and suffering is a necessity here. Good Luck.
I went through Marine Corps Bootcamp at Parris Island on 08-09-98' to 11-06-98', pretty awesome experience that I will forever cherish! I served from 08-09-98 to 08-09-02' in 1st Battalion 12th Marines K-Bay, Hawaii, (2) - 7-month deployments to Okinawa, Japan (Camp Hansen). You learn a ridiculous amount in those 13 weeks of Bootcamp that's for sure and later the ~ 3 weeks of Marine Combat Training (pretty much an extension of Bootcamp but with more focus on Infantry / weapons training) in NC that follows after your relatively short leave period (3-4 weeks) upon completing Bootcamp.
I'm not nor ever was in the military sadly!. But it makes me so mad when I hear people talk crap about drill instructor's!. They're tasked with taking an average human and making them better!. To think they're just being mean is coming from people who don't understand why they do it at all!. If you train a soldier and later find out that we lost that soldier it hits the instructors hard, almost like they failed that individual and I get that.. So to anyone who wears those uniforms so proudly while running towards the danger instead of away is something more than I could ever be!. I have so much love and respect to everyone in all the branches of the military, because without your sacrifices I wouldn't have the amazing life that I have lived. It's truly time that We The People look out for you as you have for us so courageously!. I thank you all so much for your service and I hope I can do for you all as you've done for us!. God bless you and your families. 🙏🙏🙏
I'm only a freshman in highschool, but I've been dreaming of becoming a marine since I was 9. I'm currently a ww2 reenactor, and a boy scout and was for a short time in AFJROTC. Just watching these videos gets me super nervous for when I enlist. Like if I cant perform to their standard in something or fail to do something due to the pressure ofscreaming. Thinking of enlisting right after highschool
Your attitude and belief in yourself will make or break you. You have to believe you can earn the title and never quit. Once you lose either of those you have lost it.
As an NS4 (NJROTC) who still doesn't have the confidence to go over my squad when the squad leader is absent, I feel like you're going to succeed where I didn't. PT and confidence, and you're set
As a senior in high school I’m leaving June 13th 2022. Once you join the DEP your fitness standards will rise to the level of recruit training and beyond before you even leave.
We are forever thankful and grateful to everybody who is a part of the armed services and I truly believe that is one of the most selfless things a person could possibly do! And it is such a thankless job so I just wanted to express not only my admiration for everyone who is in the armed services that's the least I could do
Just went through recruit training, I graduated last Friday, and this is pretty accurate. The only differences between then and now is, we make one movement to Camp Pendleton, team week is part of phase 2, and training lasts 13 weeks.
@@donutdude6258 did you earn your EGA? Have you been through the training? Physically, it's easy, mentally, it's brutal. Don't tell me how easy it is until you do it yourself
Wig Split if you really want to be a marine you’d make that choice in getting your tattoo removed. I’m a female who’s been trying to get into he marines for over a YEAR cause of a dumb neck tattoo and it’s only taken 5 sessions and not that expensive, doesn’t hurt at all so don’t be a pussy who can’t handle laser removal but wants to serve in the army! LMFAO nvm marines will chew your ass up
There is one thing I'm completely against in this video. Recruits using scopes on their rifles. I believe that the scopes should not be used until at least SOI/MCT.
Couldn't agree more Brother! Real marksmanship is using the iron sights. I'm not against training w/ the scope. I just believe, as you said, it shouldn't be until MCT/SOI. USMC VET 0311/8152
Lawrence Lepes Agree 100%. That's how it was when I joined in 2009; M16A2s with iron sights in boot camp, then we got M16A4s with ACOGs when we got to MCT/SOI. Recruits should definitely learn the basics first in boot camp and then learn how to use optics and get the current equipment in MCT/SOI and the fleet. This started in 2011-2012 when the Corps said publicly that it would trial a few recruit companies with the ACOG to see how it went. Then after that, they very sneakily and without any announcement made it the new norm.
I joined the military at 22 after graduating early with a great degree, I went on to the Military for 5 years, retired at 28, and then became a Heart Doctor.
When people ask why they scream so much, it reminds me of s scene in Jarhead. The main character is saying he cant work effectively when his drill instructor is screaming in his face, and the drill instructor says “IF YOU CANT THINK WITH ME SCREAMING IN YOUR FACE HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO THINK WHEN BOMBS ARE GOING OFF AROUND YOU AND BULLETS ARE FLYING AT YOU” and THATS why screaming is so important lol
Not much different from the army...but there are some...we don't have pullups on our PFT I don't know why...our shooting positions we learn are kneeling, prone supported and in supported...and our last fxt, or crucible (for marines) is a little different, kind of hard to explain. what makes the marines harder in my own opinion is the absolute need for perfection.
we also dont shoot from any supported position, our Max range is 500m as opposed to 300, we have a Combat Fitness Test as well as our standard PFT, we have bi annual swim quals, our boot camp focuses heavily on drill, knowledge, and working out the weak links to get up to speed. Army and Marines have very very few similarities. only thing we may have in common is love for beer.
There is no freaking way you can say our recruit training is not much different from the Army! My older brother went Army and my younger brother and I went Marine Corps and TRUST ME when I say this THERE is a big FUCKING difference! You would know that if you earned the title of United States Marine. It disturbs me when fuckers that never went through what WE went through think they have an answer. Our title is EARNED and not given and until you step on OUR yellow footprints and take up the 12 week challenge then you have NOTHING more than a fucking uneducated opinion.
When I see this training and think about my training with the Panzergrenadiers in Germany, I ask myself why so many recruits in Germany always cry that they are yelled at once and think our training is hard. Great respect to the Marines
The one phrase from the Marines that is very inspiring, "Semper Fidelis" or "Semper Fi", meaning "always faithful". My parents both served in the Marine Corp, and through basic training, they were truly taught to always be faithful. I may not be a Marine, but in a way, the Marine Corp taught me to always be faithful, thanks to my parents who taught me from their experiences in the Marines.
Since 9/11, until we pulled out of Afghanistan, we were at war. Consequently, from being one of the best in the world, the USMC is now the best in the world, without question. If you want to get boots on the ground and take that ground from bad, bad people, these guys do it fast. If you look closely at this video, you will not see some frontrunner out there ahead of his comrades. That is because units win battles, not individuals. Thanks for posting.

@@ninjatortise8958 lmao what
These guys are legit. I watched navy training n it seemed like a walk in the park. Not the seals obviously. Just sailors
da biz yeah i was in navy bootcamp but got separated. i joined for the physical part and serving. The navy is just for smart people or people that want to study. they have you study forever while you’re in.
I was in the Army. Met a guy who went through Navy basic training and actually put on some weight in fat. The Navy does have some amazing job training opportunities though...
Like if you are smart enough to get into the nuclear field there, it's a 2 year training and sets you up for jobs earning well over 100K a year after you leave the service.
Yea Navy training is just annoying to be honest, it was really easy just stressful at times but nothing compared to Marine or Army training. I joined the Navy to study engineer, if I wanted to be a monster combat warrior I would've definitely chose marines lol
If it a walk in the park why not join up like the rest of us we have just as many certifications if not more that can get you a job when you decide to get out because that all that matters in the end
Hardest part of navy is smarts. They expect you to be pretty smart
ain’t gonna lie but this was the most amazing thing i’ve ever done and lookin back at it i’m proud of the title
Best times of my life was being an 8404 FMF. Proudest day was earning having the honor of my Marines calling me Doc. Miss my fallen brothers, brotherhood for life. At ease Marines, I will take the watch from here on, you’ve earned the rest. SEMPER FIDELIS.

How to be a drill Sargent
Step 1. Learn to yell louder than physically possible
Step 2. Have multiple vains showing through your neck to the point you can see the blue in them
The Marine Corps has Drill Instructors. Drill Sergeant is the Army.

Cory Vore sand thing just different names and you knew what he meant
@@stone65037 As someone who has met both Drill Instructors and Drill Sergeants, they are nothing the same. DS's will never compare to the intensity and fear induced from Drill Instructors.
random 5 iv met drill sarns that have been just as intense or even more we had a drill slam a private on the ground for not putting his weapon on safe and it was pointed in a safe direction during buddy live fire. And a private got slammed and all his ribs broke for not putting his bowl to the food so don’t sit there and act like you have met all the drills in the world

My Dad was a Drill Sergeant. He was mixture of George Jefferson and Barney Fife slim. What an AWESOME AND AMAZING MAN HE WAS. He passed at age 48. I still can here his STRONG but LOVING voice coming from a Man of 5"8!! We were a blessed Family. God bless our Marines!!!🇺🇸
I recently started learning the history of the United States Marine Corps.
This is because when I was 20 I was working on a CH46E helicopter at a Japanese company called NIPPI.
I have met a lot of U.S. Marine pilots and soldiers
Everyone was excellent and kind.
In Japan, only the current U.S. Marines are reported, not until they learned that they were actually established hundreds of years ago.
I will continue to learn. Thank you very much.

Awesome video. Maybe it's because I'm getting older but, all the recruits legit look like children lol. They look 15 I swear! Proud of them.
Lol it's true they look like boys when they arrive but after their hair cuts and 12 weeks of training they come out as men
Once you're out of school you're just not around teenagers that much. Having most military movies star actors that are 25+ (especially as recruits) doesn't help either.

The word infantry comes to us from a Latin for infant, because War is a Young man's sport, infact, The Marine Corps cutoff is 29 because bones don't regenerate fast enough if you never exercise vigorous for long periods of time in your life.

Darion Williams if it was easy, everyone would do it. You have to be all in
@@darionthecreator7284 It's not that bad. The first week is nerve-racking... Like you deal with all the nervousness of stuff and adapting to it.
But after that you do get used to the yelling, and you stop becoming home-sick because you're soooo busy during the days.
At night you're so tired you fall asleep as soon as you hit the bed. Just don't be afraid to do something wrong, everyone does something wrong, the drill sergeants yell at first but they explain and teach you how to do it right and that is all. Remember they want you to get better and succeed, they want you to get through training so they can move on to the next group to train.
I joined the Army right after high school. Did 4 years active, got some amazing training in computer networking and technology.. Even some college credits from the courses I took in learning computers and some certifications. Now I have a job in that field and love it, really set me up for success with zero student loan debts.

Some Ex-Marines should offer a Preparatory Program for the Marine Program. Focusing on weight training, endurance, load bearing hikes, fight training, firearms basics, and navigation skills.
Hopefully, most recruits would understand the need for swim training prior to joining the Marine Program. The need for basic coordination skills would also be of importance for the recruit to attain. That may be Gymnastics, Jiu Jitsu, Thai Boxing, Wrestling, Football, Rugby, Triathlon, Weight Training, Track and Field, or combination of these disciplines, but not restricted to these particular pursuits. Basically, you need strength, flexibility, and endurance, but being able to catch punches with your face, as well as causing people pain and suffering is a necessity here.
Good Luck.
Not a bad idea.
I went through Marine Corps Bootcamp at Parris Island on 08-09-98' to 11-06-98', pretty awesome experience that I will forever cherish! I served from 08-09-98 to 08-09-02' in 1st Battalion 12th Marines K-Bay, Hawaii, (2) - 7-month deployments to Okinawa, Japan (Camp Hansen). You learn a ridiculous amount in those 13 weeks of Bootcamp that's for sure and later the ~ 3 weeks of Marine Combat Training (pretty much an extension of Bootcamp but with more focus on Infantry / weapons training) in NC that follows after your relatively short leave period (3-4 weeks) upon completing Bootcamp.
Trainees: Hi my name is Jef-
Drill Sergeant : REEeeeeee

I remember going through boot camp it was one of the best and worst experience I had ... it was worth it 😁😁👌🏽👌🏽
Marines are a real pride! I love you!
I graduated from boot camp 70 years ago in September 1954. Lessons learned have stood the tests of time. Platoon 280 MCRD San Diego.
Imagine getting that call during like a family meal then you just hear shouting 😂
I'm not nor ever was in the military sadly!. But it makes me so mad when I hear people talk crap about drill instructor's!. They're tasked with taking an average human and making them better!. To think they're just being mean is coming from people who don't understand why they do it at all!. If you train a soldier and later find out that we lost that soldier it hits the instructors hard, almost like they failed that individual and I get that.. So to anyone who wears those uniforms so proudly while running towards the danger instead of away is something more than I could ever be!. I have so much love and respect to everyone in all the branches of the military, because without your sacrifices I wouldn't have the amazing life that I have lived. It's truly time that We The People look out for you as you have for us so courageously!. I thank you all so much for your service and I hope I can do for you all as you've done for us!. God bless you and your families. 🙏🙏🙏

0:33 you have to admit was kind of funny
I'm only a freshman in highschool, but I've been dreaming of becoming a marine since I was 9. I'm currently a ww2 reenactor, and a boy scout and was for a short time in AFJROTC. Just watching these videos gets me super nervous for when I enlist. Like if I cant perform to their standard in something or fail to do something due to the pressure ofscreaming. Thinking of enlisting right after highschool
Your attitude and belief in yourself will make or break you. You have to believe you can earn the title and never quit. Once you lose either of those you have lost it.
As an NS4 (NJROTC) who still doesn't have the confidence to go over my squad when the squad leader is absent, I feel like you're going to succeed where I didn't. PT and confidence, and you're set
It's super super hard to fail. Like you have to try and be worthless
As someone currently enlisted I'll give you this one piece of advice. Just don't quit.
As a senior in high school I’m leaving June 13th 2022. Once you join the DEP your fitness standards will rise to the level of recruit training and beyond before you even leave.
We are forever thankful and grateful to everybody who is a part of the armed services and I truly believe that is one of the most selfless things a person could possibly do! And it is such a thankless job so I just wanted to express not only my admiration for everyone who is in the armed services that's the least I could do
Respect to the ones that make it all the way.

There is one thing I'm completely against in this video. Recruits using scopes on their rifles. I believe that the scopes should not be used until at least SOI/MCT.
Couldn't agree more Brother! Real marksmanship is using the iron sights. I'm not against training w/ the scope. I just believe, as you said, it shouldn't be until MCT/SOI.
USMC VET 0311/8152
Lawrence Lepes Agree 100%. That's how it was when I joined in 2009; M16A2s with iron sights in boot camp, then we got M16A4s with ACOGs when we got to MCT/SOI. Recruits should definitely learn the basics first in boot camp and then learn how to use optics and get the current equipment in MCT/SOI and the fleet.
This started in 2011-2012 when the Corps said publicly that it would trial a few recruit companies with the ACOG to see how it went. Then after that, they very sneakily and without any announcement made it the new norm.
Oh ok. I did not know that. Thanks for the info
There's no need for iron sights anymore. So no...
Gilbertify sights can malfunction so training on iron sight is good for them
I joined the military at 22 after graduating early with a great degree, I went on to the Military for 5 years, retired at 28, and then became a Heart Doctor.

Excelente, los entrenamientos son de lo mejor!!
When people ask why they scream so much, it reminds me of s scene in Jarhead. The main character is saying he cant work effectively when his drill instructor is screaming in his face, and the drill instructor says “IF YOU CANT THINK WITH ME SCREAMING IN YOUR FACE HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO THINK WHEN BOMBS ARE GOING OFF AROUND YOU AND BULLETS ARE FLYING AT YOU” and THATS why screaming is so important lol
Not much different from the army...but there are some...we don't have pullups on our PFT I don't know why...our shooting positions we learn are kneeling, prone supported and in supported...and our last fxt, or crucible (for marines) is a little different, kind of hard to explain.
what makes the marines harder in my own opinion is the absolute need for perfection.
we also dont shoot from any supported position, our Max range is 500m as opposed to 300, we have a Combat Fitness Test as well as our standard PFT, we have bi annual swim quals, our boot camp focuses heavily on drill, knowledge, and working out the weak links to get up to speed. Army and Marines have very very few similarities. only thing we may have in common is love for beer.
Cpl 2GWOT and swearing apparently.
Akeem Perez there is one other reason you guys don't get yelled at as much as the marines
retention
There is no freaking way you can say our recruit training is not much different from the Army! My older brother went Army and my younger brother and I went Marine Corps and TRUST ME when I say this THERE is a big FUCKING difference! You would know that if you earned the title of United States Marine. It disturbs me when fuckers that never went through what WE went through think they have an answer. Our title is EARNED and not given and until you step on OUR yellow footprints and take up the 12 week challenge then you have NOTHING more than a fucking uneducated opinion.
When I see this training and think about my training with the Panzergrenadiers in Germany, I ask myself why so many recruits in Germany always cry that they are yelled at once and think our training is hard. Great respect to the Marines
Cause your people are too soft 😂 can’t take any Western European seriously

My parents both served in the Marine Corp, and through basic training, they were truly taught to always be faithful.

Since 9/11, until we pulled out of Afghanistan, we were at war. Consequently, from being one of the best in the world, the USMC is now the best in the world, without question.

If you look closely at this video, you will not see some frontrunner out there ahead of his comrades. That is because units win battles, not individuals. Thanks for posting.
