  • What's up guys it's Trell again. In this video I will be reacting to a Marine Corps Bootcamp video. I will be revealing the truths of bootcamp. I can't tell everything because it would take away from the experience, but I can at least let you know what to kind of expect when you go. Hopefully you enjoyed this video and hopefully it helps ease your mind a little.

He is in Golf comapany 2nd Battalion. My question is will the parents get to go too graduation ceremony because of this Covid 19. My son told me that we would haft to watch it on FB. and that he won't get his 10 day leave after BC. Is this true or is this a strategy so they won't count the days down to graduation.

    I went to boot camp at Parris Island in 1985. Just take it day by day. I remember there were days where I felt it was not too bad, then there were days where you were hating every moment of it. Stick it out. It's mostly mental. The hardest thing for me physically was running. That was mostly because I didn't prepare and run beforehand. The only thing I 'failed' in boot camp was the 2 mile rifle run in boots and cammies. I paid for it later. I did manage to finish the 5 mile run at the end of boot camp, then was able to get through a 7 mile run up a small mountain in Twentynine Palms at MOS school. I hated running even though I was able to do it.

    Yeah so I used to be 300 lbs and down to 190-192 depending on time of day currently at 6 ft 1 in. Since moving to jersey a year and a half ago changed my mindset and how I eat and keep consistent everyday. Marines is something that he’s interested me. Talked to the army but I’m starting to feel marines is where I want to be. Just nervous with the pt part honestly. Do you think I should start the enlistment process now or keep training? I feel confident I can do what they say but don’t want to be that guy who’s dead last at everything. Just trying to get tips or anything!! Thanks!

      Good luck man. I shipped to boot camp last year on nearly the same date (June 17th) and I'm in the fleet now. Not gonna lie, a lot of it will suck BUT you will also go through a lot of good and funny times and meet new friends who will always help you out. Hell, I remember my drill instructors would almost try to make us laugh (although you're supposed to keep your bearing all the time in boot camp). My biggest piece of advice is don't take anything the drill instructors say personally. I was called a lot of bad stuff in boot camp but then I saw them laughing as soon as they went back in their little office. They don't hate you, they're just doing their job. (although I did have one DI who truly hated me even when we became Marines) there are some "bad apple" DI's out their but most of them are legit. Also, make sure you keep in touch with your family, it will keep you motivated! Every time I hated my life nothing was better than receiving a letter from my family/friends that helped me stay positive. Boot camp can get extremely stressful at times but there's no better feeling when you finally receive that Eagle, globe, and anchor. Good luck bro

Meanwhile, people are starving around the world!!! I would've been better treated at a Federal Maximum Security prison.
    2) Why the f---k am I wearing a Kevlar helmet and a poncho WITH my service rifle AND an ALICE pack when it's POURING rain outside? So, I was sweating inside and it's raining outside! Makes ZERO sense!
    3) It's SO not cool and (NOT TO MENTION) gay-ish to be sitting across from your buddy, in the head, while you're both gazing into each other's eyes taking a dump! Not cool, bro. Not cool at ALL.

    Boot camp is a joke. As long as you know how to play the game, you’ll be fine. The only way you can fail boot camp is if you get seriously injured. We started with 90 and graduated with 93 (pick ups from other platoons. If you fail something, they’ll just send you to a different platoon and you’ll have to redo the event like swim Qual, rifle range, forced hikes aka humps. We had one guy that kept failing different events and he was placed into our platoon and he said he had been at recruit training for 9 months. as long as you do what you’re told and sound off loud, you’ll be fine.
