Thank you so much for recording it, I got picked up by charlie company when I fully recovered and reconditioned from an injury… I loved every moment despite how intense it was because I learned valuable lessons through my extra time on Parris Island
So, the way it was broke down to me was. You get around pumped around 500 points to your score to promote, but if you're in an MOS that has a really high promotion score then sometimes you don't make the cut.
That is the same thing I was thinking? Upon completion of DI school you would be promoted to SGT E-5. You could bird dog as a E-4 But you had to be E-5 to be on the street pushing Recruits…………..what’s going on here. I guess E-4 is an NCO but not a seasoned one! As a matter of fact a few things here is questionable! The first Team of DI’s were Mainly senior Staff NCO’s but very young looking. Every other team looked as if they just Graduated a few years ago from boot camp themselves. I know that we are hurting for bodies as a military but not to the point that the should be making E-6 and up in their first enlistment to motivate people to stay in. That is very dangerous and waters down the Corp. which makes the training suffers from a lack of experience. What can you teach a recruit if you haven’t done anything??
I graduated from MCRD Nov 1983. We had a Corporal DI that was made a Sgt within a week. I am somewhat surprised they kept the Cpl on him given than they are simple pins on a collar while everything else is a sewn on patch.
I agree with not promoting Marines too fast. It is dangerous because it doesn't give a Marine enough time to grow and become an experienced leader. However, as a DI you are teaching the basics and every Marine NCO and SNCO should know the basics regardless of time in service. Also the basics among other things are taught and reinforced at DI school. A Marine Drill Instructor's job is to produce basically trained Marines everything else is learned at MCT, SOI, MOS School, and in the fleet. Retired Marine and former Drill Instructor.
@@callewfitz I agree with the maturity level. My SDI (Nov 1983) earned his rocker before his first hash mark; very rare. He could not handle it later in his career, stepped over a few lines, and got a BCD. In the FMF, another made the right boards reaching meritorious E-5 in 3 yrs having remained in garrison. Nobody wanted to follow her doing nothing beyond playing affirmative action cards. She knew every board question, but never got miserable with her group (cold, tired, hungry, etc) but attended all staff meetings. I heard about a 4th RTR CO attempting to make her mark by pushing standards and crushing entire careers that didn't follow her lead. She was relieved of command. All they have to do is follow TRADOC and the system will do its magic.
My DIs had 2 ribbons; overseas service and good cookie. They had not broken in their first uniform yet. Nobody "bought" how tough they sounded. One of mine tried to sucker punch a recruit that was a HS boxer. He stayed planted and the DI damn near went into shock he didn't move. I swore I would NEVER become that type of "leader", and retired after 30 yrs avoiding it.
So, the way it was broke down to me was. You get around pumped around 500 points to your score to promote, but if you're in an MOS that has a really high promotion score then sometimes you don't make the cut.
We have learned that behind a strong Marine is a strong family. Not to mention...... if you die, you get to go quick, but your family will pay the price for the rest of there lives. Respect to the families.

I almost expected the drill instructors to step forward and take a bow haha
My son is in 1080, Charlie Co right now. He graduates next week.
Good bless you guys att MARIBEL HERNANDEZ RTPDP
Man. I regret not reenlisting. I miss this life. So many things the Marine Corps has to offers and i chose not to take advantage of them.
You can still enlist
Sgtmaj williamson was my company first sergeant when I was in 🤘
It's weird to have two gunny's and a Staff Sergeant in the same platoon
I never saw any gunny in any platoon when I was in
At least one of them is probably on the way out.
I had 2 gunny’s and 2 SSgts in my Plt. C co 1030
Drill instructor from Daytona Beach,my home town
i just noticed that there is a corporal drill instructor. I thought you had to be a sergeant to attend Drill Instructor School.
194 Marines is a small battalion
It’s crazy, 1020 SDI was one of 2 institutions I had during my Crucible in Alpha Co. during the Jun-Sep 2023 cycle!!
Zaid😂
Cpl as di is amazing
I didn't even realize how recent this was. The Sergeant at 9:44 on the left side was one of my kill hats.
This vid is weird to me. Only a year ago. I graduated a week ago and my family day start was nothing like this lol
Cpl? What happened to minimum E-5 for DI duty?

When did recruits start wearing sunglasses??
육해공, 해병대,군,악대,연주가 틀,리치요
What's up with the trousers bloused so high that they are showing their color of their socks?

Welcome to the United States marine
There's always 1 fuckup
🇺🇸！50个星光璀璨，熠熠生辉的星星在合众国飘扬的𣄃帜上闪烁。👍
5:42 There's always that one fuckin guy
AND he was in the front row. No doubt telling his peeps where to find him in his "formation number". It is all a gimmick.
several people were out of step
IM SORRY CORPORAL???

No such thing as 'family day' when I was in.
probably because its not 1935 anymore gramps
We have learned that behind a strong Marine is a strong family. Not to mention...... if you die, you get to go quick, but your family will pay the price for the rest of there lives.
Respect to the families.
5:45 wtf am I looking at. That recruit is so badly out of step. Pathetic.
I know right its not only pathetic but sad shows that he didn't learn shit at boot camp
10:44 that marines top is fucked up get him gunny
No one kneeling during the National Anthem. What gives?
