    This reminds me about the US Marine’s Birthday sometime ago. It reminds me about the part where the oldest marine got a slice of the cake and the youngest marine got a slice of cake after, as passing down the wisdom, confidence, strength, etc.

      SSgt Contreras
      SSgt Wilde
      SSgt Byalegloi- I actually liked this guy, even though he was mean af. Underneath, I could see he was a great guy. Go get a beer with kinda guy. He only let his guard down one night at the very end of Boot Camp.
      A story- the very last day of Boot Camp, I was a pfc, in charge of 4 guys taking the sheets and blankets back to Supply. Of course, you marched everywhere. As I was calling cadence, we marched past a friend from a different platoon, who was sweeping up the sidewalk. He stuck his broom into the middle of my little formation, we all tripped, and started laughing. A really mean DI from another platoon saw us, went ballistic as only a DI could. He took his Platoon Commander black belt off as he yelled at me. Doubled it up, proceeded to beat me across my face four times for having a sloppy formation. Remember that like it was yesterday, 52 years later. Actually never held it against the guy. That’s how Marine I was. I guess I still don’t. Most snowflakes these days wouldn’t understand that.

I have meet many Marines, some where very critical of the Marine Corps, but all were proud to be Marines. There in lies the secret behind the success of the USMC. It is the individual Marines that make the Corps.

    MASTERS OF DRILL?? I served as a Marine from 1979-1999 retiring as a CWO3. I've notice on these videos from recent years the DIs use a very exagerated arm swing when marching. We were taught and used the 6" to the front. 3" to the rear rule Meaning 6 inches to the front of your outside trouser seams and 3 inches to the rear. That appears to no longer be the case as the DIs use the 18 to front and 12 to the rear rule. When did this change??? Thanks

      Koko - DI’s are not sadists, to be afraid of. They are the most professional instructors you will ever meet.
      What they do by screaming all the time has been called ‘stress inoculation’. Getting you used to thinking and acting under stress so you can handle stressful situations.
      Don’t worry, DI’s can and do recognize effort. You set your mind to never stopping trying, and you will shine in Boot Camp.
