Parris Island Cadence

- The cadence of Parris Island is the continual training of recruits. As one platoon graduates, there's a herd of new recruits to be trained in exactly the same manner. And all over the island the cadence calls of the Drill Instructors lead the way.
We all remember the first time it all comes together for our platoon---all the heels striking the deck in unison, all the ranks straight and aligned, and our DI's cadence making each one of us feel as if we are seven feet tall. A great feeling and one we never forget.
I'm smiling as I watch this. For me it was 66 years ago (1956) that I marched in Platoon 115, and I'm remembering when you first arrived on the Island how hard it was to tune out other DI's cadences and learn to listen just to your DI.
I graduated a squad leader meritoriously promoted in 1981. Joined January 20th, a few days before Reagan’s inauguration. The Iranians hadn’t returned our embassy employees and everybody expected to be going there following bootcamp. I remember waiting on the parade deck at 5:30 for the drill instructor to march us to the chow hall. It was very foggy and we could hear other drill instructors singing their cadence while marching their platoons. I knew I was part of something that if I hadn’t experienced it I would have a hole in my soul and not know why. Ooh-fkn-raw.
I feel like that island is frozen in time. The clothes worn may change; the weaponry might grow more lethal, but for 100 years these same sounds have echoed through those swampy woods.
People like to compare old corps to new corps, and have since Tun Tavern, but I the fact that in an ever changing world, the island stays the same is oddly... Comforting.
Facts...Semper Fi
Dude. Went through in 2011 and it’s the exact same
@@shaunlast7850 Still the same in 2022 too
No, it isn't. My beloved 3rd Battalion is gone and there is now useless base housing and some ridiculous-looking new 3rd Battalion barracks are out with the rest of the Battalions. Two thumbs down for that. I can never go back to see my old barracks or the rest of the 3rd Battalion.
Had opportunity to see my son graduate from boot camp in 1995.What a proud moment.Upon being stationed then at Camp Lejeune after boot camp and then visiting him on base,I told my wife of what a secure feeling being surrounded by 30,000 plus Marines.What a feeling.God Bless to all Marines and servicemen and women who protect this country.
Is it just me, or do the old tri colors look a lot better than the digi cammies we wear now? I wish we still rolled sleeves in green cammies, like I did as a lance, and wore black boots in greens.
100%
I liked the old sateen utilities. My platoon was in the last series that wore the starched sateen covers. June, 1980. Platoon 1023
Just you. Rolled sleeves was tight af
Woodlands sucked
The digi cammies. Bro get a fuckin life
I really enjoyed this one. Marine Parris Island, 1977

Where I was born. In my 60s now, would gladly doing ALL over again. SEMPER FI MY BROTHERS!!
Would still have your six, brother
DAMN RIGHT!!
Oorah!
Thank God for the Marines---Thanks you all and Semper Fi--- I was in the Air Force March 1966 -March 1970 .I was at Danang AB in Nam and I met Marines while I was there and I realize that it take a special person to be a Marine !!!!!!!!!
not really. you get to know enough guys and you see they're really no different from guys on the streets. they just how to take better care of themselves
No one knows that better than a Marine.
Yes they are a special person, but the Marines also convey a special spirit to those who are devoted.
I was in Danang in 1966, met my good buddy tbere. RIP KEN..miss you bud
My son graduated from MCRD in December of 2013. He served 4 years. During that time he spent 6 months in Afghanistan. He was honorably discharged as a full corporal. Semper Fidelis and ooh rah from the father of a marine to all who have served the Corp honorably.
What you just witnessed are some of the finest fighting forces in the world. Their precision and training are unmatched anywhere. In the comments, we should give these guys the utmost respect, the respect they've earned. I'm a proud citizen of these young men who've shown they have what it takes to be "the few and the proud!"
Plt 2078, D co. 6/6/84 - 8/23/84. My Sr DI, SSGT Rodriguez, had a great voice, sang in a choir. Going back to bivouac at ICT one night after night training under a full moon, he starts a cadence, tells us to keep it low. He starts and his voice and the soft thud of our boots on the runway tarmac, WOW, even the frogs stopped croaking to listen! Remember it like it was yesterday!
This whole video gives me shivers, in a good way. I remember standing on those foot prints I remember opening those doors I remember walking on that ground. its chilling but at the same time soothing. God I love being a Marine.
Made me cry. My dad a graduate of 1967. Parris Island. I have his yearbook and look at it often.
A well trained and disciplined military strikes fear into the hearts of the mob. It’s that power that comes to people when they are united in a just cause. GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES MARINES!
I will always remember Marine Corps boot camp blessed to have been a part of it.😊
Momma is from Beaufort. Her and daddy met there when he was in marines in the mid 50!s. My grandparents still lived there as I grew up. I remember going there and spending hours watching those boys on the field and streets and listening to the DI’s. NOTHING better than a MARINE DI. Hooah! 😉
My husband is retired Army CW4, oldest son a retired Army LtCol and middle son was a tanker. But I’m Marine at heart ❤️
The guide in the first platoon is killing it. He got it!
Boy that takes me back. I got out in 88, did non-ob until 90. Good to see the old woodlands and black boots! RAH!
I miss the salty old woodlands . . . when men were men.
I was there from February through April 67. I was 17. I did not know there was such a thing as San Diego. If you will believe this, I did not realize that I would be paid, like a job. I did not realize that I would go home for 30 days leave following initial training.. I was young and naïve and I joined the Marine Corps, dropping out of high school because I was afraid that the war would be over before I got there. I think it is unfortunate that civilians do not realize the contribution that the United States Marine Corps has made to our American way of life. But I was taught at Parris Island that the civilians never would.. And the Marines have always been cost-effective, recycling army equipment, army food and army field gear. Because the gear is not relevant. The fighting spirit and the ability to hit the target, regardless of the adversity, to destroy the enemy, that is what's relevant. And our enemies respect that. And if they don't they learn to.

Thank you sir, for your service!
And thank you also sir, for your service!
tuffduty I want to be a Marine
SEMPER FI
I was in Parris Island in 76 . I learned a lot QUICK , FAST , and in a HURRY ! SEMPER FI !
I loved the tongue-in-cheek comparison of the two MCRD'S at the end, this made the whole video for me. Great job, Jarhead. Semper fi.
Jarhead is not used to another Marine. I served 30 years in the Corps (64-94) as a 0369. Back then the sailors would call us that during shit talking. We called them Squids, ducks or pelicans. Semper Fi
Platoon 2056 MCRD 18 December 72 to 11 March 73. I always enjoy a good laugh between the P.I. and Hollywood Marines. The only thing you got right is that we had no sand fleas. Semper Fi to all Marines. Past, Present and Future.
There’s nothing like hearing deep, booming male voices at the crack of dawn. Watching and hearing a brigade of men forming up, you can’t but feeling proud 50+ years ago. I’m not sure hearing a squeaky, high pitched command will evoke the same feeling.
Excellent. I love the comments at the end. I graduated from Plt 257, Parris Island, 1976. Ironically, I live a stones throw from MCRD San Diego today.
GOD bless the United States Marine Corps! my hearing kept me out but my heart is always with you!!!
Parris Island July of 1962. 1st Recruit Training Battalion.Wooden two story barracks right on the edge of a swamp leading to the Ocean. Always the blistering heat. That big parade ground with the Iwo Jima memorial. Close order drill & P.T. in stifling heat. The week of hell at the range, the long wearying march to Eliot's Beach, sweating out the final field inspection & drill competition. Why do I remember it as such a good time? Once a Marine, always a Marine. Semper Fi.
Thank you for your memories. I was a first year teacher at Beaufort Elementary near your base. Loved 😢hearing the Marine pilots streaking overhead at recess. Beautiful times.
Memory failing...didn't we spend 2 weeks on range? Plt 394, Nov 61 - Feb 62.
As a Hollywood Marine (91) all I can say is I can remember seeing the clouds hanging around the tops of them damn hills we'd hump up! Can't get that on the east coast! Great video. Love the cadence at the beginning.
Man that is awesome! I wish I had youtube when I went in in '79. 3rd Battalion, PLT 3072, graduated 11/29/79
Even though I wish not to repeat recruit training, I really miss the MC DI cadence. Very distinctive to the military and very team building voice.
Big time!
The Marines are the best of the best in everything they do from start to finish semper fi
Meh
Ooh rah #☝️
If you wanna look badass join the Corps, if you wanna be badass, join the Army
@@80-HiDef The Marines were always the first into battle they just left the sloppy seconds for the army to clean up
@@davidddelgado - aside from repeating what you’ve been hearing since you were in the Corps sir, realistically, the Army has more in Quantity,
our infantry training is longer than the Marine Corps infantry training, adding on to the fact that we have a higher budget than the Corps giving you our sloppy seconds (yet still yes you guys kick ass.) Nevertheless, we have Tier 1 SF that’s including Rangers and Delta Force, where as the Marine Corps has Force Recon being ‘Tier 2’
Sir I respect all branches especially the United States Marine Corps, my father served as an 0311 back in 97’ to 01’ I am well aware of Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal. But the Marine Corps is not the only one.
I admire your pride in your Corps just as much as I have pride in my Army
Man that cadence from the D.I.s. I remember that very well. This video took me back. The sounds, the smell, the site, etc.... Never will forget it.
Semper Fi to my Parris Island brothers and sisters. That little bit at 3:26 made my day. It's funny the pride I still feel after so many year of being out of the Corps. I'm just greatful I did not live west of the Mississippi.
I know somebody who just left to bootcamp who is from the midwest sand is goin to the san diego bootcamp
Amen my brother. Ain't nothing like a Parris Island Marine. 1st Battalion for Life!! Platoon 1004, 1989!!
Should definitely be greatful! It's understandable to be thankful for going to the easier half!
Brought back many memories i was an Army Drill sergeant Love it big time
Man, brings back memories! Semper Fi
Cynthia Whidden u WM I Am A devil Dawg
3:09 Goes to show you how much discipline PI recruits were taught. You had the fleas we had the mountains to contend with. We still love you PI MARINES.
Brothers from different mothers SEMPER FI!
San Diego. Where the REAL Marines are made!!
Hollywood Marines. Is it true they gave you sunglasses and tanning lotion in your first issue????
Love this and I’m from England, Great Britain.❤️💕 Thank you for all you do 💕
3:10 is when every prior watching this video starts screaming and punching their phone.
jesus, dude picked a tactical pivot to disguise it though right? haha....
Lol! I knew I wasn’t the only one looking through the comments for something like this.
Thank God for the Marines! My daughter made it through The Crucible at Parris Island and continues to serve her country.
There is nothing close to a Marine!
Amen! My 17 year old son left for PI on Monday July 22. He turned 18 just a few minutes ago on July 24-2019. Happy Birthday to a fine son, good young man, and soon to be Excellent Marine! Ooh Rraahh!🇺🇸
Wanted to join the Marines in 1980. Said I would never make it. Found that my arches in my feet were falling, which is kinda rare. I left.... went to my car and cried like a baby for 30 minutes. Still think about this.... and my eyes start to swell. "Every" single service volunteer that I see gets a handshake and a thank you from me. Does not matter which branch. See some Marines, ..(only b/c they are the few). All get full respect.. And to all here in these comment threads that served....Thank you as well..........Carry On!
Dean Hudson u should have did it man
PINKY Zz
I did.... went to navy recruiter, same thing ankles were shifting a feet were getting more flat. The recruiter just shook his head and said "no way"
Similar experience...but my recruiter n I "practiced" in his office by walking on the outside of my feet 2 pass @ meps...always had flat feet...but I didn't give a fuck, I was gonna b a Marine!!!
Dean Hudson, You Had The Wrong Recruiter. I Would've Gotten You In!! Once You Earn The Title, Just Wear Arch Supports!! Semper Fi!!
I am a flat footed Marine (3534) Hollywood Marine 1979-1983
thanks for posting. on my way to the island next week to watch my son graduate just as his grandfather did about 50 years before him. I will be so proud to be standing on the very gound where real hero's are made.
Yes, thank GOD-ALMIGHTY for the Marines and Armed-Forces too!!!.
We all respected our senior DI as the best!
Brother this has brought back a TON of memories. I signed into the delayed entry program in August of 82 and arrived at MCRD PISC on March 3rd 1983 ultimately assigned to 3rd BN, H Company Platoon 3043. Thanks for the video...Semper Fi Marine!
Thanks, I was there on Jan 8 and 9 for my sons graduation.God bless these men and women who decided to become marines ,here at Pi and at SD
MY BROTHER PVT HECTOR D , WAS ON THOSE STEPS IN 1970 , HE DIED LAST YEAR 2018. RIP BROTHER
I am sorry for your loss.
Nobody asked about your brother
Ohhhh good! 3:09! So we just wanna scratch our nasty face!!! Good! Drill Instructor gonna get his!!!
Big Blakk it looked like no DI saw
It was a goddamn SAND FLEA!
Big Blakk u
I saw it too. Senior Drill Instructure Sgt. Cutler would have been right on top of that maggot before that appendage dropped to his side, where it was supposed to be, & explain to his worthless butt for 45 minutes exactly what he was going to do to him & the rest of the platoon, that would endear him to ourselves when he got us alone & guess what, he was right! He was always right. If I was 25 years old I would be in the 1st Marine Division. I'll be 71 in September. God bless the Corps. Sleep well America, your Marines are on watch. "No better friend, no worst enemy". Semper Fidelis!
@@teller1290 was a female or male sand flea? Hehehe...
My father was a DI at Parris Island during the Korean War, Thanks for the short tour!
when I was there I saw a Marine bury a sand flee because he violated discipline and scratched it,he then dug a grave and buried it six feet!
OOOHRAAAH!!! This brings back memories of "Paradise Island"...DI tour of duty
1988 - 1991 @ Echo Co 2ndBn RTR MCRD PI. Semper Fi, MGySgt Golf Delta USMC(ret)
MGunns DevilDog I Was There Then
I loved boot camp in the USCG
it got me into shape pure muscles
and bones.. The men in my
company I can never forget.
Paul . Thankyou for you daughters service I see you raised her right
At 5:14 that’s my platoon! Wow here I am 46 years old. I was 24 in this video!
So, this was 98? You're the second person to say this. The video's timeframe must be off.
Plt 1005, MCRD PISC graduated 2/11/1974.
Platoon 1085 MCRD P.I. 08/08/88 Drill Instructor Sgt. Thorton, Sgt Wright and Senior Ssgt Ifill.
Chances are ,I was your replacement, graduated from PI Plt 2064 on Oct 31 1978,yeah I graduated on Halloween, trick or F@@kin treat
I want to go back there one day to Paris Island. It's where my journey as a Marine started. Semper Fi for ever...
SEMPER FI. did my time in 92. Loved every min of it.
I was at PI in the summer of 1989, and while proud of being a graduate of 3rd battalion, RTR, PISC, I must say that MCRD San Diego boot camp graduates had a different, yet equally challenging experience during boot camp. At PI, we had heat, humidity, bugs, and a Devil's Island feeling of isolation. At SD, they have heat, tighter quarters (cant go anywhere without tripping over a DI), and the real world right next door where they can see it and miss it. Oh, and they can see the freedom birds leaving from the airport every minute of every day. They also got to hump many large hills and mountains during their BWT and Crucible (PI's saving grace: flatness). I was stationed at Pendleton (Las Flores area) and the hills around Edson Range are no joke. We humped them too. I tend to rag SD graduates just for fun, but MCRD San Diego is just as miserable.
+Bob Kidd I don't know if they teach this at PI but our San Diego DI's taught us not to be whiners
I mentioned earlier that I was a 1972 graduate of MCRD San Diego and I can attest to the things you mentioned...we also ran along the fence line and saw "sailors" in recruit training to which our Drill Instructors sang pretty foul cadence at to which of course we got to repeat...San Onofre was definitely a challenge physically...remember Old Smokey? It was a mountain we had a nic name for ...Mt. Mother F'er...I remember doing push ups going downhill on it...
MCRD is a resort.
platoon 3060 March 29, 1991 thru June 14,1991 Graduated. SEMPER FI
I was there in 1978 gradurated on April 3 1978.3rd battalion oorah left in December 1988 E6 . Best time in my life. Would do it again if I could
Who else saw that nasty thing with no discipline scratch his face at 3:09?
USMCKLEIN he's not a thing he is a human being
PINKY Zz shut up boot
PINKY Zz Every recruit is a nasty looking thing!!! Shut up pansy
Thought the shiztbird was waving to his mommy! Still would have gotten a size 11 where the sun don't shine back in the summer of '60 with Plt. 154!

Man this takes me back. P.I. Plt. 182, 5-1969. Would love to hear Gunny Dotson one more time. "Dotson's Devil Dogs". Semper Fi Gunny, wherever you are.
brings back memories to me... I was there from November 1982 to February 1983... semper fi
Lean back and strut!
That second platoon to pass by had their banner rolled up. They must have pissed off the D.I.'s
MY thoughts exactly..... A "mob"
"So you people dont wanna march today... Okay...we run all day
Have to say my time as an FMF Corpsman has convinced me that Marines are the Finest at what they do. I was a lucky sailor to be able to serve with them !!
I'm a 1970 MCRD San Diego recruit myself. I learned things there and in NAM that will not allow me to disrespect any other soldier... especially another Marine.... never!
I was there august 81nov.16 never changes
WE HOLLYWOOD MARINES HAD MOUNT MOTHER FUCKER AND MOUNT SMOKEY! BUT THEN THE LADIES ON THE ISLAND NEVER HAD SUCH LUCK TO KNOW WHAT "REAL" MOUNTAINS WERE LIKE! Semper Fi
We had beach runs....Long beach runs sand up to our shins 95 degree days with 80% Humidity. When I got stationed at Pendleton, during SOI we hit Mt. Mother fucker once a week. I would of much rather hit Mt. mother fucker during boot camp than those god forsaken beach runs. Damn those shin splints
greenmarine5 we had beach runs too....you forgot Pendleton had a beach too?! In San Diego as recruits we go to Pendleton TWO times, and we are talking about during recruit training NOT after!!
+Wayne Fletcher no i didn't forget i was stationed there for 3 years. just saying those beach runs were wayyyyy worse at PI than Pendleton
+greenmarine5 either way Semper fi brother
My how the time flies. I was at Edson Range in Camp Pendleton learning how to shoot with my brothers and complete Phase 3, in March '97. I believe we were the first Charlie Company to do the Crucible. First night was the night infiltration course...wet, cold, and sandy. Our "heavy" laughed his butt off spraying us down with cold water when we got back to bivouac. Fire watch that night...son of a...and I'm guessing bronchitis because I was coughing during graduation and for a week afterwards.
Anyway...the Corps changed my life forever. Semper Fi.
I will always remember that special proud feeling.
that one recruit was lucky he didn't get caught at 3:11. He committed a no-no.
swattn a flylol
I saw that; I did about the same thing to a friend (Platoon 2036 "1969") who was getting out because of health problems (flat feet).
My Platoon Sergeant gave me a weight lifting session along with a kidney beating I can still feel (almost 50 years ago); but DAMN, DID I HAVE THAT COMING.
Missed noon chow but I never broke formation again, maintaining formation came in real handy at Khe Sanh.
3rd Btn 12 Mar SEMPER FI----OOHRAH
He wave at the camera?
the rolled up guidon. lol. good times
+Cameron Branum We used to have to unblouse the boots when that happened
Cameron Branum .
jeff heflin me too bro
Perfect reminder for when my son's graduated boot camp in the 90's.
I joined the marine corps in chicago. March of 1963. I joined at the downtown post office on the fourth or fifth floor. They housed us at the YMCA until we left for boot camp. ANYONE ELSE JOIN THERE ???
3:09 sand flea got’em!
Wheres the damn heels at..sounds like they are just walking in step..We sounded like a train coming across the parade deck,.., HEELS HEELS HEELS,,
3RD BTN ICO, PLT.3015..1985 FEB.27,.
3rd BTN Thunder...
decad3015 We had recruits that had to have there boot heels replaced from hitting tbe deck so damn hard...Out DI's were constantly screaming..HEELS..HEELS..HEELS..We sounded like a freakin train coming across the parade deck...
lexi terrill I have was 3013 051581
And God help the maggot that was "bouncing." I was on the Island in 1956, when your mistakes were corrected by being choked, clobbered, and crucified, depending upon the violation. You're right about heels---75 pairs striking the deck as one, like a platoon's heartbeat. Semper Fi.
That was right after McKeon wasn't it?
OOOOORAH Parris Island!!! Home sweet home!!! .
Thank you for your service!!!!
3:09 would've gotten fucked up lol.
soevasive it was 2 that screwed up
joe 82, what 2? Best I saw was the one fucking with his cap.
3:10 the recruit itching his face. he would've died if he got caught.
+John Waters I couldn't believe that is what I saw.
Gotta admit he's a lucky sononfabitch to not get caught..
When the music started playing nobody cared where I learned to dance, just damn glad I could.
amen deacon... I'm a 1970 MCRD San Diego recruit myself. I learned things there that will not allow me to disrespect any other soldier... especially another Marine.... ever!
Graduated in Dec. of 1967, Semper Fi!
Swear that 2nd platoon looks like mine but I was there in 1995. Senior DI Sgt Davis, Heavy DI Sgt Athey then Sgt Cedeno and Sgt Mathews (I believe but it'll come to me later). That first platoon looks awful familiar too. Anyone able to read guidon flags?
I remember Sgt Davis. I met him as a poolee. They had us in a formation and he was the one that formed us up. I had an afro pick sticking out of my hair and he came up to me first just to snatch it out of my hair and give me the biggest ass chewing ever. Lol
Sgt. Meyers* not Matthews.
Haha that's awesome, Sgt Davis was a mean yet very reasonable Marine.
This is definitely my platoon
That was not filmed in 1997 it's my platoon in 1995. Senior DI Sgt Davis is on the left, Sgt Atheys leading us. I'll never forget those badass DI's, both were snipers
Now you are a famous Marine...LoL...Semper Fi Marine...!!
I liked your video but not so much the comments. WTF happened to the Brotherhood? My old mean ass Marine Dad who was trained at the MCRD and Pendelton in the 50's , still a Marine, would say you're new Corps and probably not properly schooled. No need to cut each other down. PI and SD both producers of fine Marines.
you never heard of in-service rivalry?? I know your dad has and probably has done some comments like that about the PI recruits.
I have two sons in the marines I'm mom if they let me go training I go
I was in plt 2052 Hotel company, follow series, 1st deck. March 17 to June 13, 1997. Best days of my life.
3rd Btn 3033 Kilo Co Feb - April 97' 3rd Deck Damn Skippy it was the best. You ever see Ridick joggin with his body guards before he quit day 3.... LMAO Semper Fi Bro
Memories of marching around the old 3rd Bn Parade Deck, back in Oct-Dec 1973, Plt 395, India Co, 3rd RTB. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant
These platoons are FAR from tight!!!
Hey I'm proud to be a Hollywood Marine. The hills of Camp Pendleton is where it's at. And we definitely drill. #mikeco #3263 3DBT
Look up mount M F
I remember getting off the Bus in mid August and barely able to breath the Air was so Thick, Humidity must of been at 85% and every once in a while when I'm in a restaurant, some smell will remind me of Marine Corp Boot Camp Chow Hall even now 35 years later. Sgt. Thorton called Candance in unison to the Start Spangled Banner the Day we graduated, something I'll never forget. Platoon 1085 Nov. 11th 1988 Semper Fi Devil Dogs
Platoon 2000, Hotel Company, 2nd Battalion, (Oct. 10 th, 1991 - Jan 10th 1992), USMC = U Suckers Missed Christmas :D Mercy, this video brought so many memories back. There's no experience quite like the Marines. God bless!
GREAT FOR US PI MARINES !! A BIT EMBARASING FOR THE "HOLLYWOOD" MARINES -- BUT WHAT THE HELL THERE OUR BROTHERS !! SEMPER FI !!!
James Ogilvie yea P.I. WE'RE OUR YOUNG BROTHERS. ON THE VIDEO THEY PLAYED. THEY HAD TO GO BACK TO THE 60'S.
Oh I don't know, no chick has ever earned the right to be called Hollywood. Semper Fi 😁
East coast so easy girls can do it
Hey guys calm down, all Marines had to scale the Reaper Mountain, oh wait.....
altoids79762 yeah Charlie’s and sun glass marines from WC
To my dearest marine I will have a song posted for u in the next few days. I grew up on this song
Thank you very much I was there in 71 Parris Island
i was on PI in 1995....your first few weeks there are such chaos and mentally stressing...it wasnt until we had learned to Drill some and started to march....my DI started his cadence...and i actually said "im doing it!" after dreaming of being a marine since i was 12..."im fuckin doing it!"
"Hollywood Marine 1977 - Semper-Fi"
Your mama or drill instructor did not tell you the secret Avon's skin so soft keeps the sand fleas off you.
learned that AFTER we got to the Fleet Marine Force....and I mixed rubbing alcohol in mine...
Sep 1974 MCRD, PISC,
Plt 151 DISMISSED!
AYE AYE SIR!!
SSgt, Retired.
Miss it EVERYDAY!
The safety vests are worn by the "Road Guards". when they enter an intersection that cars traverse on, the front road guards will post to stop traffic on the command "Road Guards Post", then the rearones will relieve them. Then DI will command "Road Guards In" and they run to go back in formation with the rest of the platoon.
los gringos estan enormes me hubiera gustado medir 1.85 pero mido 1.75 :(
Road guards, OUT!
Shit house mouse Carry On Marine
I disliked that job at summer camp during AJROTC
