Recruit Training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego | Boot Camp 

4:37 it’s kinda like he forgot he was supposed to yell for a second there lol.

I don’t know who will ever read this or who really cares but I went to MCRD San Diego over 20 years ago. My absolute best memory was practicing drill on the parade deck and we would have these moments where we would just be standing at attention. Nothing would happen momentarily, and I will just use my eyes and scan the view of California I could see. Sometimes we would stand there for 30 seconds, sometimes a bit longer. It was the calm during the storm, or just a moment of peace. I had never been outside of the state I lived prior to this so everything was new to me. I still think about this moment, to this day, and the nostalgia kills me. I ended up retiring from the military, did my last 12 years in the Army. I had some of the best worst years of my life. I travelled to over 40 countries by the end of my career and most of my memories are just boggled together. But the memory of that parade deck and those short peaceful moments has never left and is as real as the day it happened.

The DI's couldn't wait till they was off camera

This is an old video. The Mexican with short hair getting the cut at the beginning was my drill instructor in hotel company PLT 2163 SEPT ‘21. I would love to see new footage.

13:21 he parted them recruits like Moses parted the Red Sea 😆

this is like the PG-13 version of bootcamp 😂 as soon as the cameras leave all HELL breaks lose

"We will break you down and build you up again, even when you have given up on yourselves."

bro the way the barber just grabbed his head is hilarious

i remember this so vividly lol. i wasn’t necessarily scared but i just had no idea wtf was next at any given second. i just knew no one was coming to save me; and at that moment i had to realize that was the entirety of life itself. no one is going to fkn save you lol

Every coughing, the recruit crude. I was so sick for 2 weeks. Back in 92.

i love how they have all this footage, but wont show you what they do behind closed doors, (IE. black friday, getting smoked at night, early early morning, setting up the rain room, stuffing kids in dryers and washers lol , mind you since i in the 2010's so times could have changed, but man i miss thendays when DI's had free reign of these nasty recruits

47:30 bro is proud to be a Marine!

God bless any kid who has a former drill sergeant/instructor as a dad/mom lmao.

I can sleep good at night knowing these guys will be protecting my country.

I shake when I hear the Drill Instructors yell at the recruits. I can’t believe that I actually did this when is was 18 years old.

God Bless you all, thank you 🙏🏽

Thanks for your service !

I served in the space force. I was a space shuttle door gunner.

glad they still say "kill" instead of some bs

respect !!!

13:20 the way they all backed up🤣

I leave in 9 days. Watched every boot camp video I can. Hopefully I won't be the platoons Pvt. Pyle

Can someone tell that first DI that the P is silent in Marine Corps. But he’s a Marine so I’ll cut him some slack 😂

Finally get the full video

I was there the summer of 1986, Plt 3063. Semper Fi!

As a San Diego resident that lives less than 2miles away from MCAS Miramar, That hear and see Jets and Helecopters 7 days a week why? Because they fly over my house everyday nonstop...lol I just want to say thank you to all of the brave men and women that serve to protect our country. You are my heros🇺🇸✌🏾

I absolutely enjoyed being stationed at MCRD San Diego. 3371 Cook/Baker. Oorah and good morning Marines.

I’m going here June 3rd🥲

My dumb self would laugh 💀

oh man i thought this was new footage

Just waiting to hear back from the recruiter

Does anyone else who did boot camp in the 90s remember the two mafia-looking brothers that performed all the barbershop duties?

Wait I recognize some of this footage from years ago... When was this filmed? 🤔

Respect this yong people

The most frequently asked question in the history of the receiving barracks: Sir! Is it too late to switch to the Chair Force?

When did MCRD start wearing shoes instead of boots in bootcamp

Oh this is years old

Hoorraaah! Hahaha!👏🏼

cool friend let`sGo Team Go - Go !!!

Going tomorrow 🤙🏽

@25.01 The Di's execute a "Falling Demonstration" to ensure safety that the belay process will stop your descent. That's BS! If the belay man is distracted like mine was in the HURST Master Course, your weight will will pick up speed where he can't stop you, I know. I fell 40 feet and got knocked the fucked out because my belay man was distracted. I survived and finished the course but still have issues til this day because when I knew I was falling, I tried to break and landed with my break arm behind my back. Fucked me up! I now have a VA disability claim. There is a fine line between hard and stupid and I was stupid because I wanted the title of HURST Master. I earned the title but at damn near 60 I feel the injury for life. Still, no regrets. I came into the Marine Corps to do 4 years and I accidentally did 21 years to retirement. The Fewer, The Prouder, The Retirees. Yes, I was a DI from 1991 til 1993, 3rd BN Mike Company, no regrets!

This is quite amusing.

A Gopher as a drill sergeant. 🤣

Leaving on monday april 15th 🫡

They'd never show what went on in 75. No girls on deck. Punching, kicking, slapping. Best times of my young life. Hands down.

I went thru mcrdsd in 1986. The Drill Instructors were as tough then as now. Receiving wasjust as brutal. The epitome of toughness, hardass badassery. I watch the Air Force, Navy, coast guard try to do the same with fat pog clerks trying to scream like a D.I. i laugh. Being badass doesnt come from screaming. It comes from bearing. When the drill instructor yelled," im gonna rip off your balls.!" I believed them. When i hear/see a 350 lbs navy guy or 4'9" female navy scream, i laugh. I believe nothing from them.

this footage is old

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

How would you like your haircut today, Sir?

I could have done pool drills all day, better than a 15 mile ruk on that hot tarmac up going up and down those sandy dirt roads.

What all do you bring with you to the marines boot camp?

Are all the barbers shaving heads vets or regular barbers they hire

4:36 lol

yessirrrr

He didn't say the drill instructors wouldn't abuse them

What if you lose your voice when you scream all the time?

Should give them a mics or something. No fixing those vocal cords later.

I can still smell the bleach and listerine.

This is an old footage which was featured from other military channels before.

Sounded like zombies 😂😂😂

As an SLP student the drill sergeants' constant yelling and poor vocal quality is concerning to me.

Would 27 be to old to join the marine?

Wait I already saw this

This is old

Honestly anyone can be a Marine now, it’s really not that hard anymore. DI’s are restricted heavily, and not to mention the rigorous training is non existent

How tf are these phase 1 recruits going to have rolled sleeves

They're standing real close to each other. . . Life that hard?

this is crazy because im going to be here in a little over a month

This video is old

April 16, 2024. ..To all Vets who were in Afghanistan. At least you set One of them Free! Because of YOU!! SHE is now a famous singer in my world! Umaira lives in Canada now. Give a Salute & drink Beer for the Canadian Army cats who helped Umaira be who she is today!! Alive! & Damn Hot fine singer!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gv6YbeQrTxQ.html

So like what do you get from all this? Nothing lmao

All actually looks very terrible if I do say so myself self I’ll continue to grow my beard and workout on my own time 🙂

I thought this was new smh

Idk if this was camera or what but if not boot camp soft as shit

This is weak. Way harder when I was in

Lmfao why so much screaming

Damn, in the short time this was filmed those marines never known what war is. Just like that their tour is over and now their back to being nasty civilians

All this training and technology and they still lose wars.

So soft... why film? All ❤ all POGS ...

Kinda soft to me... I reckon I'm Old Corps tho... Plt 2084 F Co 2nd RTBn MCRD PISC... graduated 01 Nov 1985...

Fun times.

D.I. not the least bit Intimidating !

I believe AMERICA SHOULD MANDATE EVERY MALE FOR 2 YEARS OF SERVICE. WE NEED OUR ARMY NAVY MARINES AIR FORCE STRONG NOT WEAK THIS GEN NEEDS IT BEFORE WE GET TO WEAK.

Look at this psychological conditioning happening... sad 😂

Showing old footage because the new corps is soft

Anyone from H company 2167?
