It warms my hearts that the Marine Corps training hasn't gotten any easier. Stay true, men.

I was Army, always love seeing basic training videos. Regardless of the branch, brings back fond memories. Much respect to my brothers/sisters in the USMC.

My grandson graduated from MCRD on April 21, 2023. It was a proud day, knowing how grueling his training was. Good luck to all who arrived on September 11, 2023

I have a lot of respect for the Marine Corps (I was in the Navy) and the hell they go through. Many years ago, I went to school with Allan Walker (SSGT Allan Walker USMC) and found out he was killed in Iraq in 2004. His memory lives on with the sports-medicine complex named after him as Walker Hall. He was an ok guy who was incredibly strong and a hell of a good football player.
For those of you who are joining the Corps, honor the memories of fallen Marines like Allan Walker and others.

My son graduated from Paris Island in 2022. After High School he did not want to go to college so he chose the Marine Corp. I am so proud of him.

When I was sitting on that bus I was dealing with the Hershey squirts from being so riddled with anxiety and nervousness.
Then I after awhile I realized the drill instructors weren’t nearly as bad as my dad and a hole uncles.
The drill instructors actually CARE about teaching you to survive. They don’t necessarily enjoy yelling and stressing kids out, they do it out of love of living and survival.
Semper fi

I’m a second generation Marine, my dad served from 38-46 and was in the South Pacific. He passed before I turned 17 and he rarely talked about what he did there. I joined the Marines and served from 68-70, with most of my time at Chu Lai 68-69 1st MAW MAG 12. I was VERY lucky to be stationed on an air base and not in the boonies.

Respect to these recruits. More balls than I ever had. God bless

[vitaminwater]

Just think that these recruits are still currently in there training. God bless them. It’s a hard road and it’s only the beginning of there enlistment. Walking through the doors of a life changing experience. God bless them

My brother graduated in April from MCRD.

It rained the whole time he was there and they even had bad flash floods a few times through Camp Pendleton during the crucible.

He kept a picture of our papa (a Navajo code talker) in his pocket the whole time for good luck and graduated on the same parade deck he had.

I’m so proud of my brother ❤

I can’t believe that it’s been over thirty years ago since going through this. Seeing this video stirs up a lot of memories.

[mtmadigan]

Brings back plenty of memories. Even funnier watching this, not being there trying to not laugh my ass off. I don't know the teachers that taught me to read, write, and math. But I remember all of my DI's like it was yesterday. Couldn't tell you what I'd give to be younger and able to enlist again. The Marines have the greatest culture of any organization on the planet, there's nothing like it in the civilian world😢

[luismares]

Can’t wait to see more from this group

[gatorchick]

I'm an Air Force vet, Gulf War vet & was in Saudi Arabia during the Khobar Towers bombing & lost 19 fellow Airmen from my base. I remember BMT like it was yesterday & how scared I was. Wish you all the best

[codybielik]

The fear in their faces. I still remember the smell, the feeling, the atmosphere. A cold cold morning in Paris Island when I got off that Bus. And here I am, active duty 6 years later. Gotta Love it!!

[eqqqual]

Seein the people I went to PT with at the recruiting office gives me more motivation to become a Marine. LETS GO OCHOA, AND ANGEL💯

[nancyharris]

As a Marine mom it makes me tear up remembering getting that phone call. I lived with my cell phone on me for months.

[bimscutney]

My son graduated Marine basic last November. Getting that call in the middle of the night saying he arrived safely was surreal. Especially when they read that provided script.

[imawatermelon]

I miss this, hard to believe but it was the best 2 days of my life. Leaving from MEPs in the morning and swearing in knowing my life just changed forever. Then arriving and feeling live I’m in the videos I’ve watched my entire life. I’d give up everything I have to go back. But sadly, I never will.

I did Navy Basic Training at Recruit Training Command San Diego back in September of 1983, and even forty years later I still remember and put into practice the lessons I learned from. my company commanders, it was a different time back then. I remember being in line at the dining facility waiting to each lunch when a large cargo plane flew overhead and I looked over to watch it, the next thing I knew one of my Company Commanders reached in and yanked me out of line and had me by my shirt shaking me while yelling and cursing at me because I was “rubbernecking” and not facing forward like I was supposed to, he then made me stand at attention outside while the rest of the Company had lunch, however that was the last time I ever did that again. And it was then that I realized just how important it was to follow every rule and orders that were given to me, no matter how trivial.
