What New Marine Corps Recruits Go Through In Boot Camp | Boot Camp | Business Insider

"The new recruits will be warmly welcomed by senior instructors." Starts yelling at them

“Mom I’m at the wrong summer camp”

4:55 "Some Marines arrive in better shape than others." Shows someone already in the Spartan program

Showing the graduation and then immediately after showing the new recruits starting their journey in the barracks was a nice touch. A huge mental game of bootcamp is getting there and seeing the more senior recruits and thinking you will never be one of them.

me slouching on the couch: I could totally do that

Officer: Make a phone call and only say the script Me: Mom come pick me up I'm scared

I’m shipping out in 17 days. I remember watching these videos years ago, looking at all the comments of people saying they leave in a couple of days. Now that’s me.

Can’t describe how proud of my little brother I am. Almost through with his enlistment. In these 13 weeks his toenails became more of a man than I will ever be. Seen him 12 days in the last 4 years and can’t wait for him to be home.

This looks pretty tough from my comfy bed.

"One of the most dreaded parts of training is the gas chamber" The WHAT

For anyone thinking about joining, do it. It will suck, you be frustrated, defeated, and hating life. But man, there's no other experince like it. The entire 3 months was just amazing looking back. I would do anything to go back through the system. The excitment of watching videos like this before boot camp and then living it was a surreal and a great experience. You need to absolutely have the right mindset however, which is hard to express what exactly it is. If you know you know.

Cried watching this. I miss it. Bootcamp was an unbelievable experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life. It’s sucks that once you hit the fleet, all your motivation gets sucked out of you by your senior lances. But you must push on and keep moving forward. I deployed twice, saw the world. But still, bootcamp was the best experience I had in the Marine Corps. Holds a special place in my heart. Now I’m in the Air Force, furthering my career. To any future Marines out there, good luck, and slay, Devil

Imagine picking up the phone and hearing that outta nowhere

Officer: where are the tears coming from Person :eye sir

I knew a dude in boot camp that broke his femur during PT one morning. That dude stayed on the Island for a year and a half. He's a Master Sargent now btw with 5 deployments under his belt. Stay motivated. Semper Fi. Proudest moment of my life was hugging my Dad (A Marine Corps Vietnam Veteran) the day I finally saw him on the Island.

I feel honored to have a brother become a Marine, going to Parris Island in SC was an experience.

Private: fails me out of shape laying on my bed: what a loser

Kinda Sad for that recruit which no one answered his call

My brother went to this exact same Boot Camp in Paris island im so proud for him for getting through this and I can’t wait to folllow in his footsteps

Just finished recruit training last Friday. Don’t let this video discourage you from joining bc it was definitely the best experience I’ve had in my entire life
