Navy OCS 19-97 D.I. Introduction

[teufelhunden1812]

That's some motivating video 1st Sgt.

[kbbarton1]

That is hard core. Brings back memories from my training there in the Sands of Pensacola. My DI was GySgt Seals (Class 20-96), but I distinctly remember that I did get some "personal attention" from GySgt Crouch during Outpost when my seabag slipped out of my sweaty hands and hit the deck. Good times! Ten years later I had the privilege of deploying to Iraq and engaging the enemy in combat operations with the Marines of I MEF (FWD) in OIF 05-07 - Semper Fidelis!

[crouchje]

@kbbarton1 Warrior, contact me via my profile E-mail address and I will send you some pictures of MSGT Seals.

[jrenazco]

I just shit my pants.

[AEAEntertainmentInc]

Dude... I want to learn how command like that.

[primolilla]

This is got to be one of my favorites. "Frickin weirdos". Let us not piss off the DI folks, its gonna be a long haul.

This a a damn master piece!!

[scboomer]

This was a scary SOB. This was my OCS class. So happy to find this.

[crouchje]

I will be happier when you get that camera working on your computer and give me the 1,000 hops and pops you owe me!

YUT!

[GaMeRuInEr]

Watching this and the other videos make me even more excited for Navy OCS next year. Can't wait!

[jruelas90]

i remember when i wanted to be a marine. what a dream that was. i always wanted to find a way to give back to them. now i serve next to them as corpsman. being called doc by my marines is one of the greatest honors i have ever received. currently serving with 4th tanks battalion out of 29 palms.

[crouchje]

@jruelas90

Corpsman, the greatest gift the Marine Corps ever received. They march all those miles with us and when we are resting, they are inspecting / healing wounded feet. In combat they run into the open when others are taking cover. Thanks for Posting Warrior!

[palerider1775]

This is great footage. All of the chaos from the sounding off and the screaming reminds me of Parris Island. I wish I could find stuff like this for Marine Corps Recruit Training. Semper Fi!

[crouchje]

Yes, it would be nice to have. All I have are memories.

[3IDLukeK]

@palerider1775 Look up "Ears open, Eyeballs click" Great raw documentary of USMC recruit training

[palerider1775]

@3IDLukeK Awesome! Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!

[tjorkyle]

what did you retire as gunny?

[crouchje]

First Sergeant

[VERT531CA]

Hahaha Freakin' Weirdos

[perfectcircle17]

Damn, he wasn't even talking thru a microphone.

[morpheusxvr]

I am so stoked I hope the navy can pay for the rest of my school so I can be a Naval Officer....Hell Yeah!

[TravisBickle2]

NUMBNUTS

[morpheusxvr]

Yeah you are real mature....how old are you like 2....LOL!!!!!!

[BadKarmaKills]

Frickin weirdos XD

[drgreenthumb2222]

you dont know your left from your right you frigen wierdo.... haha

[goldenhide]

Now THATS a command voice. Cadence, volume, and clarity. And all while simply speaking. I can only imagine how amazing it is during drill! At least where I'm at, command voices seem to be a lost art for everyone other than 1stSgts/SgtsMaj and DI's. Semper Fi!

[SunnOrion]

I too am submitting for OCS. I look forward to attending.

[eafbak]

Im in the Air Force and I gotta say...That Marine is on his shit!!

[Sexpistols15151]

[UTsaprtan223]

[TravisBickle2]

Bend and thrust

[valion310]

I remember that voice, struck fear into the hearts of the Aircrew students across the street. I've heard him, but we didn't look to that side of the street for fear of death. :)

Gunny, this is so motivating. Submitting for OCS. I watch a couple of these every single day to light a fire under my xxx ....

[crouchje]

Contact me via my personal E-mail address under my profile Warrior, I have something to share with you.

[crouchje]

Just platoon 1069, Alpha Co, 1stBN, Parris Island 1991. I have not had time to convert it and upload.

[texasusa05]

Love these vids, especially this one. Brings back memories of MCRD San Diego chow time.

Do you have any vids of your time as an enlisted Drill Instructor?

[BubbytheTourG]

lol lunchline gunny goin' after fucks for screwin up... OH SHI-... AYE SIR!!!

[dajinsta]

Thank you for posting this, GYSGT. I am slated to go to Navy OCS this summer, and watching your intro speech is getting me psyched up!

[crouchje]

May you be blessed with the words "Push PIG...Push until your heart burst or I get tired" upon your arrival to OCS.

[dajinsta]

Aye aye, sir!

[TravisBickle2]

Do you know what "aye" "aye" actually means?

[crouchje]

I am sure he will soon enough because he should be pushing already based upon his reply.

By the way, are you any relation to a Marine, female type that served on the 1992 Parris Island Shooting Team? She was good to go in my book. Good Marine.

[dajinsta]

I will push now for that. What was wrong about my reply?

[crouchje]

Aye Aye means I understand the orders I have been given and will execute those orders as instructed.

I never gave you any orders, I only expressed my desire for you to begin the process of military indoctrination.

As for a later reply below, you are correct but so is lora006. Just like life in the military, often you are in a catch 22 and wrong no matter what you do.

[dajinsta]

Thank you for teaching me.

[lorca006]

Why thank you...

*I suppose I am forgiven for stripping a whole rank away from you when I called you a gunny and not a First Sergeant.*

[lorca006]

Danjista,

I will give one piece of advice that was given to me before I left for boot camp. I know you're going to OCS, but in my opinion, boot camp is boot camp.

Don't be a show off, and don't be a screw up. Put yourself in the middle and stay there.

I don't know... The good First Sergeant might disagree with me. I've never really looked at it from a DI's perspective.. but the advice did work for me. Of course that was just Navy boot camp.

[TravisBickle2]

This was aimed at dajinsta

[lorca006]

:) He's not a "sir". He's a First Sergeant.

[dajinsta]

Yes, but my understanding is that before we prove ourselves worthy, we have to call him sir, like all the candidates in this video.

[TravisBickle2]

Good Stuff Gunny!

[saxty903]

Freakin' weirdo! Hooyah!

[hikebabe2]

Ha ha! The are all a bunch of politicians. I come from the land of the grunts and the ones I might even consider following got moved out real quick.

[diggys123]

I have contributed and am done trying to find officers worth a damn. They seem to be nothing but a bunch a nerds who think they can lead men. I signed up in 1992 and just got out this year. And I wish we could find a better way of "making" officers. Cause these little rich kids are not worth the powder to shoot their asses. Sincerely Master Sgt. Armstrong

[crouchje]

Thanks for serving MSGT, I appreciate it. However, I would like to think that in 16 years you had served with a few officers you would be willing to follow into combat. I have served with some very good officers during my 23 years. I would also without hesitation gladly follow the leadership of some of my 259 Naval Officers whom I trained. I think you are making a mistake of generalization regarding economic class, I know many who worked through college. Semper Fi

[TravisBickle2]

Have to agree with the Gunny.

I served 81-93 USMC and I can tell you that there will always be that 10%.

As leaders our job is to find and cultivate the 80% and try to steer the that 10% towards the goal.

As a young Marine, I listened to my DI's and (later Staff NCO's and Officers) as the guide to success.

Guess what? It worked!!

[diggys123]

Oh yes Naval Officers treat everyone with courtesy and respect. blah blah blah!!! Does TAILHOOK ring a bell?

[crouchje]

You are guaranteed to find idiots in every walk of life; every race, creed, and so forth so let's not forget where we recruit our military from, it is the civilian sector. Our job is to improve them and make better Americans out of them before they return to civilian life. Those who fail to live up to our tenants of leadership are punished accordingly. We don't get all of them, but we sure try. Why dont you join one of the branches of our military, sounds like you have a lot to contribute!

[greyghosts29]

1st Sgt-As I mentioned in my email-very intense, motivating-but most of all-thank you for serving!

Kansas City...out.

[tigerbitsy]

That is MY drill instructor! I was a 29-year-old female--the only girl in my class (you can see my floppy blonde poopie-week hair if you pay attention)--and I can verify that every word he said was true. AND I can verify that he is the still the awesome warrior he was eleven years ago, because now I'm proud to call him a friend.

[NYCSKATER12]

haha i see you at 7:42. thank you for serving our country as a naval officer im 17 but i cant wait to become an officer in the Marines i already know what nrotc college im going to attend. The di is pretty close to a Marine di well Marines are a part of the Navy so im sure theresno big difference. thx again

[crouchje]

That was a real Marine D.I. The navy does not have D.I.'s, they borrow from the Marine Corps seasoned Drill Instructors with at least one tour of duty training enlisted recruits before assignment to Navy OCS. We have been doing this for the navy since 1947.

[LIHyer]

This guy is the real deal. I am in the 'Silver Helmet' brigade that is going through 'Indoc' week.

[IamCastIronMan]

My sister is 04 in the chow line.
