Parris Island Marine Drill Instructor Tribute

[WannabePFC]

I gotta love the Description... Thanks for making this video. If your husband is still there I may have had a encounter or two,, or three at PI. I just graduated july 1st. from 2nd Batallion Golf Co. It would be a trip if I actually knew him. Great vid by the way

[qqrazy]

sinning up july 15th 

[venerialblast]

@qqrazy Don't do it. They'll have you wearing leg garters before you graduate. Sure, they'll call them some shit like "shirt stays", but deep down you'll know that you're wearing garters.

[Dan4USCTroy]

The Marines exercise team work, from the beginning to the end. Band of brothers and sisters know simply as the core. they rely on each other.. Once they’re given an order, they carry out that order. There no time for a lot of talk. The Marines execute and they perform. They adapt achieve and over come. They get a plan and they execute. They live up to the legacy, Eagle, Globe, and anchor. The Marines is a way of life. They give it 110% all the time. Honor Courage and Commitment.Semper Fi!!

[HellothereLove93]

i was suppose to be leaving for The Island this month but stuff came up. october 12th i can try again. OOH RAH.

[c2sasse4u]

our country owes our freedom to men (& women) like this.. & also the FAMILY members standing behind them! thanks to people like YOU, we have military personal w/ a good support system.. all to often the family goes unrecognized, yet it is them that makes the biggest, & at times, ultimate, sacrifice.. Sharing this video was a beautiful tribute of love & appreciation towards your husband! ~Carla Sasse, PA~ semper fi

why does every military video gottta have so guitar rock song that sounds like nickleback.

[0587dave]

in all seriousness why do Marines even do pushups? they dont get tested on them and you can have the worst form ever and nothing happens.... i think they should add the pushup in to the PFT and be even harder corer than the army having and extra pt event haha

[0587dave]

@MarineDIwife The true backbone of success in any Sailor, Marine, Soldier, Airman and Guardsman are women with courage and conviction like yourself and having served my country I would truly like to let you know that I salute you for your efforts.

[NForcerSA]

@MarineDIwife This is a fantastic tribute and I'm honored to share my gratitude towards you for having compassion and understanding of your husbands duty to his country and corps by instructing the young men and women who wish to serve their country with honor, courage and committment. My mother was the wife of a Sailor in the U.S. Navy and there were times when he was never home.

[23PorkNBeans]

If any of you want to become Marines one day or are already in the DEP, there is a web site for FUTURE MARINES that you all should read.

It has plenty of good honest info about the USMC and you can send your question in to an actual Marine who will answer them.

The link in on my profile page.

[Screamayesir]

" You shut your mouth when you talk to me you disgusting recruit!!!" Funniest thing a DI said to me when i went through. I did find a way to shut my mouth when talking to him tho.

[XxgoetfacexX]

@Screamayesir Funniest thing said to me in boot camp is "im gonna hook you up,stand by". or "why do are you looking around!! turn your head or im gonna knock it in the right direction".

[VK4LA]

There is only 1 other Soldier thats Equal to a Marine....

And thats a Australian-Soldier......(Digge­r)

Awesome Video!

[wannabedrummer85]

Semper Fi. It's almost been 5 years, and I think back to how i was then and how i am now and i owe so much to my SDI and DI's. 3rd BN Lima Co. 3078. SDI Sgt Morgan, DI Sgt Contreni and DI Sgt Ward.

[elombard39]

I am also grateful to the Drill Instructors who sacrifice so much for Corps & Country. They are separated from their families for long periods of time. They must at all times; A: maintain their intensity level B: keep their composure C; set examples to their recruits (who are always watching) DI's are the epitome of what a Marine is & should be & that's more pressure than I could handle.

With Abiding Respect & Gratitude, mother of PFC, 1st Bn, Charlie Co, Plt 1085, Parris Island, 11/20/2009

[twpdyp]

My gratitude goes out to all the fine men and women who train our Marines. A special thanks to the men who trained my son while he was at Parris Island. Quebec Co. Plt 3052 July 3rd 2008. You took a young boy without a rudder and made a man. I thank you

[ginivuch]

@twpdyp It is awesome to hear positive comments about the Drill Instructors. My son will be leaving for Parris Island in a few months and with him, my heart and soul. I also trained at Parris Island in 1990, I too, was trained by some of the finest. Thank you to all those that serve!

[yourboob55]

Thank you for your husbands service and your dedication to him. God bless your family and all the Marines aboard Parris Island and their families.

[ryecheese999]

The Poolee is correct. Drill Instructors arent there to just degrade you and call you shitbags, why would anyone be there if that was the point?. Boot Camp is there just to move you into the Military Lifestyle, and get you adapted to Combat Stress, and teach you Military History, Military Courtesy and the list goes on. The Drill Instructors are the ultimate authority, and the job is serious because they choose who is worthy of the corps, this is not an easy job, even if it looks easy. Semper Fi!

[antonered]

the best time of my Marine Corps service was here at PI OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH-RAHHHHHHHHH

[PooleeGarcia]

As hard as the DI's are on you and how much you think everything they do is stupid it all has a reason, I love the DI's for all that they do.

[SkateAllDayX]

excellent video man

[Barhopper10]

great video and big respect for all MARINES and militay men and women. Brings back memories being in 3rd BN Kilo Co. Plt 3064...2003

[wilsontc10]

great video. I'm not sure whether or not I want to enlist yet, but all of these videos make me want to more and more, except the ones where the drill instructors tag team you haha.

[ryecheese999]

thats what the marines are about son, gotta hack through it. this is no cakewalk, this is just your right of passage, youll be ok though, As my Senior Drill Instructor said "YOU WILL NOT QUIT AND YOU WONT GIVE UP". OOHRAH!

[23usmc23]

for some of u pussies..if u think bootcamp is hard then u need to go to ur drill instructor and tell them to drop for "failure to adapt". u have no idea what u signed up for. your whole enlistment is challenging. if u cant hack, then let ur d.i. know. i dont want ur pussy ass serving next to me in combat

[derrick0311]

Great vid

any way u guys would know if Marines MUST jumpmout of a plane in Basic

[palerider1775]

We don't jump out of any airplanes in recruit training. Our training there focuses on getting acclimated to the Marine Corps culture, getting in tip top shape, become incredibly disiplined, learning the rifle, martial arts, combat water survival and so on.

When you are a recruit, for example on Parris Island, the majority of recruits hate their DI's because they get in their faces and yell, it's not what they are used to. But after (and if) they graduate they will learn to thank their DI's. Semper Fidelis. Hoorah.

[trutyger09]

God, I would love to be a DI...wish I hadn't passed up the chance when I had it.

[afuturemarine479]

I head to Parris Island Sept 14th. Maybe your husband will be my DI?

[clhoyt1003]

My son's at PI right now. Miss him a ton but can't wait to see him graduate as a Marine. cool video. Good Luck, Matt!

[ryuhyubusa]

1st phase (yellow flag with platoon #)

break him down physically and mentally

2nd phase(yellow flag with platoon #)

he will learn to work with his platoon as a team

and now is becoming stronger

3rd phase (red flag with platoon #)

starting to feel like a marine and work with the brotherhood of his fellow platoon members

he will change.... becoming a man to a marine

and you will be proud. thank him from a former marine plt 1102 bravo company paris island 1996

[Bejzbol1993]

RAH !!

[herrerateresa]

DI's are the shit! we hate them while we are going thru training but looking back now, i miss them. they do put their heart out and make badass marines w the exception of some shitbags.

[motojunkie68]

hoo rahh semper fi

[MrMattsmolka5]

ok i find this to be bullshit, the marines wont let me in because i have a full sleeve tattoo, how retarded is that. ide like to join up, love the marines, but dumb ass rule.

[robbyj890]

yeah same here dude i hald a half sleeve from wrist to elbow and they denied me too

[JUSTBAUM]

Dude i had to get a portion of my tattoo removed that was a damn 1/4 inch too high on my neck just so i could join to corps. So i feel ya it is bullshit but the corps is trying to clean up its image for some damn reason i don't understand why you would try to clean up the badest mother fuckers in the world though

[Prometheus1st]

The Marines don't want "Inglorious Basterds"

They want (a clean-cut) "An Officer and a Gentleman" type who can sneak up behind the enemy after charming them at the meet n greet line at a function and slit his throat with a K-Bar and have the finesse not to get blood on his Tux.

-Semper-Fidelis .

[steelfan77]

the Corps is changing their image....either get them removed or shut the hell up puke....you wanna be in my Marine Corps then you'll follow the rules, if not sign up in one of the other nasty branches!!!!!!!!!!

[enviousstare]

rrrah!....can't wait to wear that smokey cover myself

[brokendownhoarse]

I'm really sorry ,BUT the CORP is not EASY 1DO you think this is a JOKE? If YOU'VE not been there ! well keep talkin

who are you talking to?

[dnabebx333dance4life]

p.s check out my video i made for my bf. he is currently in bootcamp now.

[hardscorps]

The DI's are the deal. Without their hard work the would be no Marine Corps.

[y0o0o0o]

my cousin graduated this past friday 3rd batallion kilo company platoon 3061. maybe your husband was his DI. all i know is he was a redhead lol.

[beforeiforget87]

1:17 to 1:27 KNOWN SIMPLY AS THE PIT, my buddy told me somebody fucked up one day so after pt was done the DIs had the recruits (covered in sweat and mud) roll around in the pit and shove sand in their pants and shirts and ears and had them do another round of pt.....so if ther eis one rule at PI MCRD it's DON'T FUCK UP!
