Alignment is on point. Good shit. Not easy to get 60-80 high school graduates in the same page like this within 3 months, along with rifle range, knowledge, customs & courtesies, physical training and overall ATTENTION TO DETAIL.
Yes, it is amazing how this intense training can transform someone within three months. I was there in early 73' and it's on my bucket list to pay a visit to "PI, the land that God forgot."
I swear, if I’m ever in a coma, let me listen to this platoon with their DI drilling. I’ll wake up I assure you. I sometimes miss the island crazy as it sounds. Semper Fi.
Although I did my recruit training at MCRD Parris Island during the summer of '66, I eventually became a Drill Instructor at MCRD San Diego in 1972 and served there until 1975. My greatest tour of duty - the one I enjoyed the most during my 26 years of active service - was being a USMC Drill Instructor in the 3rd Battalion at MCRD San Diego. To this date, just thinking about those times, it brings a smile to my face. Heck, I was single in my 20's, had a body of "twisted steel and sex appeal," and knew how to use various swear words as nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, and what else have you - I mastered them all!!!!! Haaaaaaa...
@@DERKONIG12345 OMG - there are so many cadences out there, where to even begin, but OK - here is one at least. Remember, I was a Drill Instructor 50 years ago, so many cadences have been forgotten - but this one somehow stuck out in my mind. "Ah knew a girl in New York City - she had beer in both her titties....." I do remember one little item that I used to have my recruits say every night before lights out - here goes: "Every day in the Marine Corps is like Sunday on a farm, every meal is like a banquet. Over 200 years (then) of hell, death, and destruction - Marine Corps!!! Marines can stick more in and break more off than any other man, from any other land - and what's nicer is that we can do it neater and sweeter with less peter Amen..." They always loved that!!!
I was in 3rd Battalion I co. In Nov 75 staff sgt Laura, Daugherty were the two DI's I can remember still today! ( They may have been Sgts at that time?? )
Here are some. I remember as a recruit, , ," I know a lady who lives on a hill she won't do it but her sister will. Then there's the one about " mama and papa were laying in bed, mama rolled over and this is what she said,,p.t mmgood. Feels good etc, or.

The 1st Recruit Training Battalion Scarlet And Gold were always HiGH Steppers when they Marched during Close Order Drill. At MCRD San Diego, CA in January, 1983; I trained with the 3rd Recruit Training Battalion Sweet Blue and White Kilo Company Platoon 3008 we were marching heading North on the Starboard side and a Platoon from the 1st R.T.B. was marching South on the Port Side on the road They were evidently in the Third Phased of Training-M16A1s at the Right Shouldered Arms, Cammie Trousers Bloused and Their Black Cadillac Combat Boots Heels hitting the Deck with the Snap and Pop Sound as they were HIGH Stepping Leaning Back and Struting. My Platoon was totally Intimidated and Humbled by their Marching. They Drowned us out so badly that our Senior Drill Instructor SDI Gunnery Sergeant GYSGT Gerald A Gordon ordered us to Mobbed it back to our Barracks and told us they Wimped us out and we Better be able to March like that when our Close Order Drill Proficiency Training started with one of our Drill Instructors Staff Sergeant SSGT Keith Bland. Needless to say at Second Phase of our Marine Recruit Training we were allowed to bloused our Cammie Trousers for the C.O.D. Marching Test and Staff Sergeant SSGT Bland's Cadence was the Main one out of our 4 Drill Instructors that I adopted for Marching when i got to my First Duty Station at Marine Barracks MB GUAM Marianas Islands M.I.
Beautiful. Statues of Discipline. When drill is in perfect sync like that, it's a thing of beauty. I struggled a little with it , but I didn't mean I couldn't appreciate it from the outside.
wasn't even my drill instructor but I loved his cadences everytime we all went to chow, RAH SGT, Its LCPL Taveras, tall dominican PLT 1049, SDI SSGT Estrada
My son is in MCRD San Diego as we speak. In phase 2 week 3. I have been watching this video over and over. Great job to you recruits but huge shot out to the DI.. such precision in the executions and your cadence is on point
@@Mbenguegangalready have! Brother you sent tingles down my dag gone spine! Semper Fi! I have a favor to ask if a fellow Marine. I’ll be starting the fire fighter academy next month and I’ve forgotten so many of these cadences. I’d like to pick up a few to use. I love this one but can’t make out all the ditty responses the recruits are responding back. Can you share some knowledge?
@@pablosanmiguel5802Every platoon has different ditty’s, so it’s hard to say, but it’s mostly just counting and aye sir. You also don’t say anything after like phase 2. The ditties just help you remember what you’re supposed to do.
I was in United States Marine Corps Recruit Training in MCRD, San Diego, California 50 years ago. I'm now 67 years and 8-months old, and I'll be 67 years and 9 months old next week. Yet, I am actually stronger today than when I was an active-duty United States Marine Corps 0331 M-60 Machine Gunner. Biologically aging hasn't made me weaker, but stronger.
I had Senior Drill Instructor Sgt. Gibson, 1092, Charlie Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion at MCRD: PI, seeing the place again is a beautiful sight, seeing that it being a green flag tells me that this day must have been great for many, but also oh-so very terrible. I got Med boarded a couple years back and have memory issues now, but I can remember some of the ditties we had, and I love the Discipline they have! Semper Fi!
Hit 1:00 and PAUSE. To all non Marines wondering how Marine recruits learn to drill so well. Look at the top left hand corner of your screen at what looks like a volleyball court with no net. That’s how.
They follow the cadence of the drill instructor. He’s actually saying commands but in an exaggerated sing song way. He’s saying Left Right Left but exaggerated
Nah we got canteen belts held together by safety pins and hopes. The Di’s knew those things were absolutely trash and never got bad at us for having shity equipment. Hed get smoked fs if he had broke formation to pick it up tho.
The rifle is the guides, either the DI will carry it or another recruit will. It appears to be range week as well judging by their mag pouches on their belts. I’d be more concerned for the guy who dropped his canteen. They are marked with your name on it. He will pay for making the DI go get it, that sand pit looks like a good spot
Is this second phase when they have the ammo pouches on their war belts that’s how you know you’re getting close to the end at least that’s what we were told at the main chow hall near the auditorium classroom by those recruits.
I had two black D.I.s in 1970, and one of them was our Senior Drill Instructor/Platoon Commander, and he called the best cadence I've ever heard or had the pleasure of drilling to..
I marched many miles. Never made a sound. 3rd battalion dont sing lil diddies. Straight out LRL, cadence brought from way down deep in the ball sac. Semper Fi.

No.
They go to the sand pit until the Drill Instructor gets tired.
