10 Funniest Drill Instructor Moments (Marine Reacts) 

Rare intense DI footage at MCRD PI - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ivbYs3F9zU4.html. Don't forget to check the bloopers at the end of the video...I could not figure out a few lines.

In an alternate universe, Jameson was a Coastie who deliberately fucked up so his hot drills would keep yelling at him.

Legend has it, he's still doing the right thing when no one's looking.

The first thing I said to my male DI on the first day of Bootcamp was “Aye Ma’am!” I was told to fill up my canteen along with the others, and we had to do it within a minute and they told us to go quicker. And for some reason my mouth said “Ma’am” instead of “sir”. I heard dead silence after calling him ma’am, and I didn’t dare turn around to see his face. Lmfao. I was his favorite target during the length of bootcamp every since that moment.

During the 10th week of basic training, the drill sargent approached my cubicle and asked me (in a crazy way), " who dressed you this morning, your grandmother!!!"... to which I replied "No Sargent,my grandmother died last week!"...he was so disarmed that he apologized profusely, and then moved on to the next cubicle. My bunk mate chuckled and was given 50 push ups on the spot. Lol

Female D.I: "WALL SITS NOW" Me: Yes mommy Her: What? Me: What?

I couldn’t stop laughing at his reaction to the female coast guard DS.

When I went through basic training, never ever found any situation funny while being dealt with from a Drill Sargent(s), but after completing basic training, and AIT, the first time I went home on leave, my whole composition of being had been changed from what I was prior. They had reprogrammed my way of thinking, and behavior so extensive that my own family couldn't believe the change, it was like to them that I was a completely different person, but at the end of the day, I'm thankful for those who changed my demeanor, because it has served me very well thus far throughout my life.

There is no way I could make it through boot camp again. The first time one of these guys came up and started yelling at me, I would just bust up laughing. Already been there and done that.

"I wouldn't take her seriously." *2 hours of doing pushups and running later* "I take her seriously..."

The hot drill is shouting at him . He looks like he's going to cry . She is shouting he is screaming at her incoherently.

Fun fact: that Navy Chief was a blue rope in my division (RDC in training), he made Chief while we were there. Absolute badass, and had some great mentorship for us concerning leadership and resilience. He needs his own video.

I was in the Marine Corps for 22y 4m. 3 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Boot Camp did very little to prepare me for combat! Teaching me about my weapon, how to solve problems, how to adapt and overcome, and the physical fitness did more than all the screaming, yelling and stupid crap that was so unnecessary and useless! Yeah I have heard so many times that it's to break you down to build you up story. I always thought that was crap! Boot camp did nothing for most recruits, school after boot camp was great! I was a combat engineer and loved every minute of it! Some may need strong encouragement in Boot camp but not all. I love the Marine Corps always will!

“Say it... you..” 😍😍😍😍 I’m in love 😂

"She is way too hot for me to take seriously." Yeah, I dare some recruit to tell her that...

So thats where State Troopers get their screaming hats from!

Great video on US Marine basic. When I enlisted in the Canadian Army Oct/79. Ten rules you will need to help enhance this enjoyable experience? 1. Stare into the NCO's eyes they love attitude, gets them off big time 2. Always address an NCO by their first name, yo dog, gee, or playa will do 3. Try to be a few minutes late for roll call, they love rebellious types 3. It's okay to sleep in, they understand. Better yet, ask for a wake-up call 4. Tell the NCOs you know how basic training is, you've seen full metal jacket 5. Tell the NCOs you know about combat, you've played tour of duty on PS4 6. Ask the NCOs if you can have the weekend off? you've made other plans 7. Remember to bring food into the barracks, they understand, guys get hungry 8. Hey, Sgt. Do I really have to make my bed? But my mom usually does that 9. Ask the NCOs how their weekend was, they love it when you get personal 10. NCOs love your feedback, always bitch/complain whining if possible? Don't bother trying to outsmart the NCO'S, they went through this just like you, so every trick you think you know? they've already done it, thought about it, or got caught doing it by their drill instructors, who went through the exact same thing. You will remember this experience for the rest of your life, I can guarantee it. Will you make it through basic? depends upon how badly you want it. Like everything in life, being in the military has a cost. Only in here, the costs are much higher

"Get upright!" hot DI yells, queue Beavis and Butthead laughter.

Best line I ever heard from a female DS when a soldier grabs his crotch. "Get your hand off your imagination."

Say it or I’m gonna smack you with this feather whip 😂😂 that cracked me up Jameson

The light in Jamesons eyes as these recruits get devoured is funny and fascinating.

"she reminds me of a girlfriend" Somehow, that only makes her even more terrifying.

That Navy Chief is actually a really cool dude. We served on our first ship together way back in the day, and he was always the happy, go-lucky type. He turns it on for new recruits, though. Off duty, he's still a jokester.

6:22, he actually lol a lot like “private joker” off of full metal jacket.

The Navy D.I. who is a Master chief sounds like Joe Pesci when he starred in the movie Casino! 😂

We had a trainee at basic call a female Training Instructor sir. She asked him if she looked like a man and he said no sir. He was asked louder if he thought she looked like a man and he said "No lady". He got all kinds of special attention from the TIs over that.

Also it seems like you're getting more comfortable on camera which is really nice to see because we can really see who you are as an entertainer and not just you as a serious person

Some things never change since I was Marine. I do love the vids of the JROTC. I remember seeing a MCJROTC unit getting a once over by some Marine DI's. They get the bare bones basics in military instruction and when they come in contact with the first DI......oh boy. There's this look of complete shock on their faces which is priceless. But I do feel their pain. Having to go through that and they're not even in boot camp........yet ....................for some of them.

Loved this!I went through Coastie boot camp in 86. I don't quite understand the change in DI covers. Seems a bit of a reach. My DI (company commander) was an Aviation Survivalman Master Chief (rescue swimmer). Those guys were like gods in Coastie world. He's hammer the hell out of us while drinking coffee, and I don't recall him ever yelling, but we all knew he wasn't f-ing around. The one that pissed me off the most was when an RMCM gigged me for a finger print on my belt buckle on a Friday inspection, which meant I was restricted to the base for the weekend. What sucked was that he was the one who put the finger print on it. Turns out, he was one of my dad's buddies from when he was in.

"Say it or I'm going to hit you with this 🪶 feathered whip" 🤣

old james here kinky asf lmfaoo "call me daddy" "Yes Please" got me dying

I was in the Navy with the dad of 2 of those guys in the Navy video. They, unfortunately, did not like getting yelled at and were processed out of boot camp after like 3 weeks. Dad was disappointed, but such is life.

I agree Sir that Navy guy is the real deal you won't regret watching it he's one of the best Navy guys I've ever seen.

When I was in boot, the senior DI got about 8” from my face, and the ass chewing began. Then 2 more DI’s joined in one on my right ear, and another on the right. When I felt the breath of the 4rth DI on the back of my neck, I lost it. Yea, all Marines know not to laugh in this situation because of what’s coming next. Oddly enough the DI’s got into a little huddle, and started laughing. Another recruit began laughing in formation and the focus changed to him. That poor guy was bent for about 30 minutes on the meat grinder, and later at sundown, he was bent on the mini meat grinder and before rack. I went up and volunteered to join my fellow recruit the first 2 times. The last time before rack, I just went up and joined in. Within a couple minutes, all the recruits joined in front of their racks. At that point, he stopped everyone, complimented us, and said goodnight Marines. We were never referred to as recruits again. This was back in 88 when you weren’t a Marine until graduation, and we still had 3 weeks in 3rd phase. For the other branch members to understand this was a huge thing.

That woman instructor speaks more like a s-m Dominatrix and was way too cute, though, she can instruct me anytime she wants.

Watched this and started saying no sir yes sir to my customers 😂 I've been Conditioned!

12:45 I remember my dad, who served in the Army during the Vietnam war, completely destroyed my dresser when the clothes in my drawer weren't folded and placed neatly. Hell, I knew how to make my bed with a hospital fold when I was 10. He was brutally strict at times, but the moment I was on my own, I understood why. I'm sure he's keeping heaven in top shape as we speak.

If I called my drill instructor “sir!” he would get in my face and tell me “I work for a living. Don’t call me sir!” and the answer was. “Yes drill sergeant!”

Ohhh man reminds me of some funny times when our senior drill instructor would get “worked up” and made himself laugh a couple times lol 😂 good times, good times

The sound that has ringed boot camps since the time of Hannibal: you'll be sooorry!

Drill Instructor: you will not be physically or verbally abused... 10...Seconds...Later: commencing verbal, and physical abuse. God Bless em! Lol

I've had the privilege of working with Marines but I didn't know a lot about their time in basic training. I've been a DI in the Australian Army and I've always enjoyed some of the "day one, week one" movie scenes. Interesting fact ... Even the toughest, meanest face-ripping DI was once a recruit getting hammered by the old school Instructors. Cheers.

What kills me is when he said "say something" his emphasis on the "G" In the word something had me crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Marine DI are by far the funniest I've personally been around, and lord save you if you laugh

I had the chief that you called chubby as an RDC, and I can confirm that she isn’t, she’s a green side corpsman that’s built like a power lifter and has really broad shoulders and wears a men’s uniform (which is probably why you would think that). I can confirm that she is absolutely terrifying, she would flip tables and go into her office to do shoulder presses with an amo can at an extreme pace to vent. Still, she genuinely cares about her job, so she’s one of the people that I’ve had the most respect for in my life.

Had a guy that needed to go to medical in the middle of the night and the drill instructor starts screaming at the element leader to accompany the guy there. The element leader says to the TI “Sir, I have to use the bathroom” The TI responds “A bathroom? Is there a f***ing bathtub in there? Are we gonna play some f***ing tickle pickle?” Still makes me laugh 😂

Good Times! Graduated MC boot camp, Coast Guard Boot camp and OCS!! Video brought back good memories.......

That CG drill instructor was hilarious

I had a Drill Sergeant who was a Viet Nam vet, two actually, and they were the best. They taught you what you really needed to know, and could do so with humor.

The entry process at PI was one of the most stressful times in my life. I had a DI tear me apart because, He told us if we had 2 shirts on to take our top shirt off and I took both shirts off, then put the top shirt back on, instead of just stripping off the top shirt.

Getting screamed at and respectfully complying until you get it perfect because you want to do a good job. You know they’re teaching you to make you better human. Learn respect & humility. Starting to think every kid should go through something like this so we have a better chance in this insane world.

My first introduction to Drill instructors was when I was in JROTC at our National Drill Team competition. One of the parts of the competition was the platoon inspection. all 4 branches were represented by the Drill instructors and each squad of the platoon got a different branch and i roll a Marine DI...and boy....no slack....looking back now I wish I could watch it all over again but as a fly on the wall but being in the moment, my stress level as they are asking us ranks of the Marine Corps (we were Army JROTC and had a giant folder of information we had to study from all of the branches prior to) and asking even simple questions were so hard to recall in the moment.

The funniest part of this video was when the dirty old man came out of Jameson while he was watching the female Coast Guard Drill Instructor.

What I like about the Navy Guy, is that he ENUNCIATES his words. Very clean, very clear... Fun to listen to, fun to hear. --lol

When I was in U.S. Navy Recruit Training (San Diego, 1969) we were instructed by a Company Commander. The guy did mean business, but could be very funny (we weren't supposed to laugh) and he made the whole experience tolerable.

My uncle joe was 5 foot 4 and he was a marine. I asked him one day if there was a height minimum to join the marines. He said he finished basic and went directly to Iwo Jima. No one cared about your height...only if you could carry a rifle !

It’s so clear that the Marine DI’s are on a completely different level than any other branch.

The navy chief sounds allitle sweet. LOL

Jack Nicholas when he yells you can't handle the truth lol

Even in the Air Force, 1979, A red head, female DI, was called sir. After a serious ass chewing, we all had to double time back to the barracks!

My dad once told me a story of when he went through Army boot camp, he didn't remember what the guy did, but once during chow somebody was made to stand flat against the wall, hands up with one foot on the ground, and the only thing he was allowed to say was "I am a spider." The entire time.

i love watching these old timers haha their perspective is funny af lmaoo

Nothing is as intense as a Marine Corps drill instructor!

That drill sergeant sounds like Gary busy in undersiege

Navy Chief is "Latino/Samoan Vince Vaughn with a no nonsense policy." You're welcome, sir.

The female CG Instructor was the scary kind of hot.

I was Army, had a DS at Ft Benning in 2004 smack my helmet about 10 times for carrying my rifle with one hand during a 15 mile ruck march. I was getting a drink from my canteen. 🤣🤣 He kept saying, as he smacked my helmet "CARRY YOUR WEAPON RIGHT PRIVATE!!" 🤣

I was in the uso at San Diego and the marine reception instructor showed up and told me to get out on the bus. I was the same rank as this instructor and I was in civilian clothes . Just then my brother the navy O-6 came in and I called the room to attention. My brother called me by name and the DI left. The DI was almost convinced I was trying to do a last minute runner.

She looks more like a dominatrix than a drill instructor

I had a very similar incident with a female DI. Back hall of receiving, walked by an open hatch, saw the cover out of the corner of my eye and yelled Good Evening Sir. I then heard something that chilled me to core. A female voice say "Aw hell no! Get back here!" That is what causes absolute fear! What happened next, I will never forget the torture that ensued!

Gotta love the shark attack ,when they just go full tilt spaz 😂

No respect for a drill sergeant without a combat infantry badge

I actually talked to PO Gunn and, yes, she is absolutely gorgeous. HOWEVER, it is decieving at first because she is a bit intimidating and just one tough person given her experience in becoming a CC. She is a great individual, fun to talk to and she actually just made Chief about a year ago. Great mentor and overall, just an outstanding individual! :)

That female coast guard ds can discipline whenever

When I went through CG boot camp, I remember the female DI's were 100x tougher on us because they had to prove a point that they weren't weak. Whenever I heard Petty Officer Russo voice first thing in the morning, I knew that day was going to suck

15:30 "he's got the goodest quips" ........here, have another crayon Jameson

I lived on the Quarterdeck every morning almost until graduation. I could never be fully and properly dressed on time. They’d yell “ZERO!!!” and I’d have a boot un bloused ,a button undone, or something looking all f**ked up, and off to the Quarterdeck I’d go. It got to the point after a month that I’d just grab my boots and uts and run to the Quarterdeck, dress as quickly as I could, and start digging. They’d eventually tell me when to stop. It really upped my pull-up count, though 😆

I was in Air Force from '66 to '70. In basic training I was always having trouble with left and righ in close order drills. The D.I. cam to me one day and had me go to the compound flag pole and give facing commands to the flag pole. Of course I had to do the facing movement also. During drill once, I messed up again and the D.I. gave me a rock to carry in my left hand. He said, "If I ask you for this rock you'd better have it or I'll set you back 2 weeks." Sgt. Starr. I'll never forget him. I carried that rock for the remainder of basic. In fact I took it home with me on my first leave. I think mother threw it away thinking it was just a rock. LOL

“Call me daddy” swear best thing this man has said

One of the guys in our basic was doing pushups and the DI asked how many pushups can you do his answer was how far can count.

Woosh... beings back some flashbacks for sure. I was a Parris Island Marine back in 2006. Semper Fi

Petty officer Gun was my CC. She was no joke. Lol.

I went to Navy boot camp in San Diego. Became a corpsman. I went to Fleet Marine Force School at Camp Lejeune. I got to experience all of this from both the Navy and the Marine Corps. Spent eleven years taking care of Marines. I love them to this day.

Vince Vaughn; your thinking of Vince Vaughn, five rules, dodge-duck-dip-dive....-dodge

This looks like a lot of fun can’t wait

I got it. That Chief sort of looks like Vince Vaughn but he really sounds like him. Same cadence and sound of voice. Mannerisms are very similar. Vince Vaughn was in the movie Hacksaw Ridge. He played a Platoon Sergeant named Howell.

In AF basic training the DI dressed me down. His Smokey bear hat was hitting me at the bridge of my nose as he yelled at me, his cigaret smoke, still in his mouth, drifted up into my eyes. At 76 years of age, I still laugh at this enlisted man instruction. Later, going through officer training, it was a joke because everything was explained and made sense...without yelling.

Navy called them company commanders, back in my day.

We went through just a little bit of the screaming stuff at the Reception Center at Ft Jackson. Once we got to our Company on Tank Hill (Feb '79) and the Drill Sgts took over we could relax a little, EXCEPT for this little short stack DS LaFont, he'd sneak up on you with a "get on down Joe" and he must have used CS gas for deodorant because he'd literally bring you to tears with a wave of his sleeve

The chubby guys on the ships are what they use to ⚓ it down 😁 I still have dreams that I am back in Basic starting over again. It was a good time

“She is a looker this one.” Best quote 😂💀

During my time in basic training we had to stand fire watch and had to walk around the barracks. As one man was on fire watch had left his personal locker open and the officer on duty came in and slung it down the barracks,the man on watch fell apart and cried, it was sad

The skinny SDI giving the black friday speech was my plt. One of the best SNCO’s I’ve had. We lost initial drill and he put away his black belt brought out his green belt for the rest of the day. Our squad bay was fucked at the end of the day.

You a fool 😂😂😂 “she reminds me of a girlfriend” “hit me with a feather whip”

So the female company commander her name is petty officer Gunn, she’s still there at cape may😂

The one that needed to say something looked like Joker from FMJ.

I saw the “doing the right thing when no one is looking” guy in A-School a few years ago. So I know he made it through basic.

These are brilliant. Wide eyes near the end has the most insane energy. Sounds like a goat after putting the wear on those vocal cords. 😅

This is giving me PTSD of the Pearl Harbor (receiving for the first few days of boot), not because I was scared, but because I drank a ton of water for urinalysis the first night. I gave them my sample but then when I was in formation to move on to the next part so we can meet our RDCs (Recruit Division Commanders) the water started to kick in hard. I asked a petty officer (can't remember if it was 2nd or 1st class) if I could use the head. He asked, "can it wait?" And poor recruit me, literally sweating it off for the last 5 minutes, almost cried "no Petty Officer" 😂

Are you kidding I'm a puke civilian and I'm terrified of that lady! She's got bigger balls than the both of us
