i'm going to join the reserves, but my friend came back from bootcamp in Cali and he lost like 30 pounds too, he was so skinny, he said he could run a lot but yah pull ups and shit he said it was like nothing
@rdcole pretty much what he told you and since you're in ROTC you could join a drill teamn. In the drill teams, if you're with the A team or team 1 you have the chance to go to competitions. There are REAL Marine drill instructors that tell you the same thing. Several of them, in your face telling you how disgraceful you are. That's a good way to get used to the DI's.
Very true, went there myself and you know couldnt have said it better myself however i liked the hikes, and u forgot how bedrest sucks also males are sweeter on u than females.
Awesome video man. Thanks for making it. I'm about to be a poolie for the Marines and am pretty scared but excited for boot at the same time. I'll be going to Paris Island hopefully with an 0300 contract and want to make a career of about 20 years in the Marines.
@jldoo they give u the shot in your ass cheek and it basically gives u E.D( Erectile Disorder ) for as long as boot camp takes . many Marines Fear it xD i sure did
Get ready to stand at the position of attention for hours on end. Get ready for shots. Get ready to suffer because of other peoples problems. Get ready to strip down naked with other men over and over and over and over. Get ready to be humilitated.
OMG you feel for it. They can yell all they want I may start to laugh because it is all show but they own you and you will die just to die. I wanted to join. I would be so perfect. I am insane but I will chop a head off if you step on my foot. I bit a mans ear off.
I'm 16 right now and I want to get my college degree before I join the marines, do I still participate in the same boot camp? Great video and thank you for all the useful information.
@superrcabb11 You can go through enlisted if you so choose. Which I doubt most would. Otherwise with a college degree you can go through OCS (Officer) which is different.
- The individual changes as the drill instructor finds their faults, which causes their experiences to change.
Before boot camp, i weighed 160 and could only do 12 pull ups. After boot camp, i weighed 165 and had a perfect pft score with 20 pull ups. Before i signed up, i couldn't pay attention in class during high school, but since my time in basic training i no longer have a problem allowing myself to be distracted. They want to find your faults, and they will change them.
Each recruit's experience at basic training is different. For some, the difficult part is the classes. For others, it will be the marching. For most, that i know, it will be the stress and dealing with it while under pressure. Some of the more physical recruits will learn to use their minds more, some of the more mental recruits will learn to use their body better. It will always be different, but one thing for sure is that the recruit will get better at what he isn't already good at.
when they march everywhere they should sing this is my rifle this is my gun this one's for fighting this one's for fun well that's what I would do if I was just marching somewhere on my own
Not sure if you said it, But one of the most important things is not to take it personally. They are gonna be in your face, calling you names, and generally tearing you down any way they can. If you go in there thinking they are doing this because they hate you personally it's gonna be a lot tougher. Just take in what they say, accept it, learn from it, get over it, and move on. If you get mad and stay mad at everything it'll be a rough 13 weeks
JDuWayne SEMPER FI MARINE! I had a question if I join right away after or during high school (17yrs old) will I be given education opportunity while I'm enlisted so I can prepare after I leave the marines once I'm done my 4yrs or if i stay longer will I be able to get the education I would've gotten if I just go to college and later join the corp? Also, what age is proper to talk to a recruiter?
oh and can you make a video on requirements of joining and how it will all be done? Thank you!
@EliteWrestling1996 requirements for joining must do 3 pullups, 44 crunches in a minute and run a mile and a half in under 13:30....cant have any felonies, chronic illness (asma or somthin like tht) and yes you can get an education while in the military practicaly for free , and after using the gi bill. i suggest you talk to ur local recruiter he will fill u in, btw you wanna get more than the minimum ist scores
What to expect from the military? Depleted Uranium, Anthrax vaccinations, Camp lejune poisoned water, false pride, loss of liberties. Before you go talk to the recruiter. Look up. Agenda 21, depleted uranium, police state, constitution, bill of rights, gulf of tonkin, 9/11 inside job. Then decide. RON PAUL 2012!!!
Can't wait for the hiking part of boot camp! haha. i love hiking. I'm doing 132 miles on the A.T. in 7 days over spring break. Can't wait to go to boot camp after next year
i graduate high school in may and im really thinking about joining the marine core,a bit nervous but i want to start off righ.any tips before i join please let me know
@7waystosunday haha your welcome :D Did you have the college option? My mom and aunt keep saying not to join the marines and go to college but I dont want college. What did you do? And how do you contact them/ give your info to them to enlist for the marines?
@ryan6627 No, not really. I mean it kinda was an option, but I had no way of affording it. My parents were pretty supportive of it, although my grandma wasn't. And if you want to Enlist it's really easy. What I did was went online to the Marine Corps Website and find out were the Recruitment office is. After that you talk to a recruiter, and he will tell you what else needs to be done to be enlisted.
@7waystosunday Oh lol seems easy! Do they provide transportation to the camps? And how long did it take YOU to be contacted after you submitted that online survey thing?
@ryan6627 It only took a day or two. And hah, they provide Transportation to boot camp and stuff. Everything after I am not entirely sure about. Haven't gone to boot yet. 47 more days :D
@7waystosunday Okk thanks lol :D um did you need your parents for signup or anything like that? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to know how to be enlisted ahead of time. and 47 more days until PT hell lol :D
@ryan6627 Well all you have to do is talk to a Recruiter and enlisting is very easy. As far as needing your Parents, you only need your parents if you are under 18
@7waystosunday :D nice. I wish I could be there now!!!!! Im usually not this annoying but whenever i THINK ABOUT IT, i JUST WANT IT NOW! :( i guess i'll go to P.I also lol :) whats your name?
hey im only 15 1/2 but im thinkly hard about joining the marine corps. one problem i have with running and such is that i get dry mouth within the first quarter mile (i drink more than 60 oz. of water a day) but nothing helps, also i try to run/jog at about a 7 mph pace, but my chest seems very tight and hard to breath, and to catch my breath (i do not have asthma). any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
@KamikazeBasher well, it sounds like you focus on your breathing too much. just relax, and inhale through your nose, and exhale from your mouth. it will be hard for you to do at first, but if you always practice it. it will help your lung strength greatly and help you give yourself a nice even-paced breathing pattern.
@senses71 I think your 100% right, i notice i breathe heavily through the mouth and if i get out of my rhythm its like a vaccuum is sucking the air out of me, thank you for the help!
Try to be the Scribe in boot camp.That's if they still use scribes.If you get in and a DI says who writes good.Put that hand up high!I had the training logs.I would write down the training schedule on the cards the DI's would keep in their campaign cover,or "hat" for you boots.I knew what was going on all the time.I also made firewatch.It also got me out of some fucked up shit too!A few perks!Yat Yas!Semper Fi bros!
Thanks alot for the info. I got aways to go until I graduate high school but these tips will certainly help. God Bless you for your service and again thanks for the advice. :)
hey man i was curious about the whole swimming thing and how hard it is. i mean everything else relating to physical fitness im pretty sharp in buh ive never been that good of a swimmer, so if you could tell how bad that is or how i can get ready for that by the time i leave for bootcamp id greatly appreciate it
@memory713 It's combat swimming. It's a totally different kind of swimming. I've seen guys who are really good swimmers sink like rocks and bad swimmers do really well. Nothing really you can do. If you're a terrible swimmer they take you aside and help you.
I have a habit of laughing or smiling or even both when somebody is threatining me or yelling at me..........does anybody know anyone have any advice for me?
Ive wanted to be a marine all of my life, but i need to know something, im deathly afraid of heights does anyone know if you have to climb anything over about 60 feet tall?
@hurricanenet31 If you want to be a Marine, overcome your fear of heights. I am deathly afraid of heights as well...you just have to not think about it. Go on rollercoasters at an amusement park or do anything you can to get used to high heights. You will be fine! I overcame my fear of it and I never thought I would. But I did after spending so much time working and overcoming fears. Oorah
Alright, john, I think that's how you spell it, I'm definitely planning on joining USMC after school or college if I go, probably. And I really appreciate your vids.. If I could just chat you via email cuz I have a few questions, that'd be perfect. Thanks bro
I can't wait to ship out. I'm going to kick ass in boot camp. They'll graduate me early because I will be so excellent. I'll show those drill instructors what a REAL MAN is. I'll be an officer in three years!
@rrbrc12 lmfao . both you guys are gonna freeze your nuts off. It's gonna blow your mind how fucking cold it gets in Cali. Just wait till you go up north to Pendleton.. its so fucking cold. I was in boot Jan 2-april1. Let me tell you.. It got down to 35 up in Pendleton.
Wow, I expected it to be a little more physical. But mentally, I think you're damn right! But what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger. Great vid!
To clear things up for people discussing minimums, the minimum to pass MEPS currently is 2 pull ups (12 second arm hang for females), 44 crunches, and a 13:30 1.5 mile for males (10:30 1 mile for females). All fairly easy to obtain. With that said, specific offices sometimes set their own standards depending on how many people are enlisting. If they need people, they might DEP you high risk (not meeting those standards). Other offices will make you do 5 pull ups before they take you to MEPS.
hey marine this is something I wanna know if your from another country for example australia like me do you get dual citizenship by joining the corps just wondering
Well I'm a girl and I'm 13... I think I want to join the marines but I'm still young and got alot of choosing to do but nah I rather try to join the marines. Screeming I'm going To have to get uses to i guess. Well good video an it teaches me what I have to get ready for. (:
hey marine good video your a good soldier and I respect you and people say that American military run around afghan villages killing people and people say that America is bad just cause there is a couple of Americans working for terrorists well you have bad people and good people in every country but I don't say America I say terrorists cause if you say America you are also blaming a lot of people who are innocent hell even if 911 was set up by president bush it does not mean America is bad
Is 26 years old too old to join the corps? I know the cutoff is 29 but I'm referring to the judgement from peers. I have talked to recruiters and the funny thing is they treat me like I'm a 50 year old. I'm in good shape and everything so pt is not an issue. I'm just concerned about being looked at as an outcast or weirdo.
Everything he daid is EXACTLY what west coast marine corps recruit depot san diego is about..it fuckin sucks! But if you stay healthy and fuckin listen and do EXACTLY what your told..you wont be there linger than 3 months.i promise
What was your favorite DI game? My two favorites were the DI Hurricane and Mount Siribachi. The DI Hurricane involved getting everything you own, and doing a wagonwheel (like we do for laundry) and dropping our stuff along the way, and having 5 minutes to clean it all up. Mt. Siribachi involved piling all our shined up boots on the Quarterdeck, and the guide and squad leaders made to plant the guidon upside down into the pile of boots.

Ive wanted to be a marine all of my life, but i need to know something, im deathly afraid of heights does anyone know if you have to climb anything over about 60 feet tall?
hurricanenet31 1 month ago
@hurricanenet31 If you want to be a Marine, overcome your fear of heights. I am deathly afraid of heights as well...you just have to not think about it. Go on rollercoasters at an amusement park or do anything you can to get used to high heights. You will be fine! I overcame my fear of it and I never thought I would. But I did after spending so much time working and overcoming fears. Oorah

To clear things up for people discussing minimums, the minimum to pass MEPS currently is 2 pull ups (12 second arm hang for females), 44 crunches, and a 13:30 1.5 mile for males (10:30 1 mile for females). All fairly easy to obtain. With that said, specific offices sometimes set their own standards depending on how many people are enlisting. If they need people, they might DEP you high risk (not meeting those standards). Other offices will make you do 5 pull ups before they take you to MEPS.

@gearheadd318
Is 26 years old too old to join the corps? I know the cutoff is 29 but I'm referring to the judgement from peers. I have talked to recruiters and the funny thing is they treat me like I'm a 50 year old. I'm in good shape and everything so pt is not an issue. I'm just concerned about being looked at as an outcast or weirdo.

What was your favorite DI game? My two favorites were the DI Hurricane and Mount Siribachi. The DI Hurricane involved getting everything you own, and doing a wagonwheel (like we do for laundry) and dropping our stuff along the way, and having 5 minutes to clean it all up. Mt. Siribachi involved piling all our shined up boots on the Quarterdeck, and the guide and squad leaders made to plant the guidon upside down into the pile of boots.
