Getting Smoked by a USMC Drill Instructor
Discipline, one of the hallmarks of a Marine, is a trait instilled early and often in training, and the recruits of Hotel Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, learned it comes in many forms March 5, 2014, on Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C. Along with training in close-order drill, which instills discipline by teaching instant, willing obedience to orders, minor disciplinary infractions are corrected with incentive training. Hotel Company is scheduled to graduate May 9, 2014.
Interviewed: USMC Staff Sgt. Alberto Andino, Hotel Company Chief Drill Instructor

Russell Johnson usually one detracts from the other

I understand that Marines can only get smoked for 5 minutes at a stretch. Army Infantry OSUT was a bit different. We got smoked for HOURS at a stretch.
+Indifferent Centrist Not Marines yet. They are recruits
Had a Drill Sergeant at Fort Benning start a smoke session with the statement: "one of you is going to the hospital tonight." He wasn't wrong.
Seems like a dumb method of training new recruits.

@@ericb5666 ya it is lol. The marine corps has a problem of sending broken marines into the fleet. But I personally think it’s worth it. Unless you can find me a more effective form of team building and camaraderie that comes from universal pain and agony lol
@@kevinyoon7004 the military has a problem with the “that’s the way we’ve always done it” type mentality. Injuring people who are barely a few months into their enlistment is just stupid and costly.
"Minor infractions", gets smoked for "blinking too loud".
Blinking too loud 😂😂
Lol! 😂😂😂 Good one.
Fact
@@Glostahdude well I graduated bootcamp about 4 months ago and we had to destroy the squadbay because there was a pube on the one of the toilet seats.
after the DI said he was in a good mood
As a marine, I promise you they were being nice in front of the cameras. That’s the easiest It I’ve ever seen. And as far as Guidelines for IT, I never knew there was such thing 😂😭
(Civilian here) I thought When you were in the Marines Ur ass belongs to them ? 😂💀guess not
Their isn’t that’s a load of bollocks. Our last Sunday before the crucible we got ITd after church service went to chow came back got more IT went to evening chow got ITd again. It was about 5 hours of a continuous smoke show.

i remember this. only time in my life where i couldn't see straight from the sweat coming down by forehead.
When i was in the navy they called it cycling a recruit if he could not "pay attention to detail " hooo yaaa
+Mark Silas Cycling? Oh, maybe that's why the Marines use to joke that your instructors (not sure if I would call them drill instructors) would ride bikes during the runs.
+Logan S so much disrespect
Is there any public speaking in Marine boot camp?
ThinWig Higga NO jackass, it's called rivalry, something you know nothing about because you were neither IN the Marines, NOR the Navy. We flick each other shit all the time........and if you are "sensitive" then perhaps you should be watching videos about the Salvation Army or the Girl Scouts. In other words, shut your damn mouth.

@@lovethyneighbor6886 Working on that
@@lovethyneighbor6886 stfu ur on here to u obviously got nothing worth while to be doing
My drill always told us during every smoke session, “You may not be smart soldiers, but I’ll make you strong soldiers”
Don't tell Marines that, they'd be pissed they were turned into soldiers.
I wonder how I had "minor infractions" 6-7 times a day..
geekchaser hahaha. That's it? In the army we were having infractions 6 or 7 times an hour. Even when we were right, we were wrong.
^ he’s right
Waterborne Sapper yea and how long is army bootcamp again?
Right?
It seemed like I had a "minor infraction" every hour. My favorite is when we got to play in the sand then fill our pockets take it upstairs to the squad bay dump our pockets and play some more!
The lack of Knifehands is disturbing
Excellent point! Lol!!
Yes. Gen. Mattis banned the knifehand. Then... Knifehands the entire Marine Corps during a Marine Corps Birthday Message... Commandant-level ownage!
unreal that is SOP. the knife hand is now offensive???????
Nor is the recruits backs straight as they close their big fat mouths
Clark Kent really? I just graduated and they did that shit everytime
Everyone should go through a humbling experience like this to realize that no one cares about your feelings and that there are things bigger than your wants and needs.
Absolutely!
I agree. My family has people who have served and I think that every person in this country should do at least two years of military service. I'd join but unfortunately my eyesight is extremely jacked.
@Crypto I don’t think everyone in the US needs two years in the service, because we aren’t fighting any wars that call for it, nor is there any invasion threat to out homeland. I do respect your opinion though. Maybe people would have to do two years in some other government-run service though, like firefighting, police, etc.
Well said.
There is nothing humbling about this. It’s fucking stupid.
Good times. I remember being at the end of second phase and we were in good shape. Somebody pissed off the DI so they started working us over. Then somebody giggled and the DI exploded. He yelled so much he lost his voice for three days!🤣🤣
Yeah dude by the time 3rd phase came about all this was back ground noise...that’s when they started making us fill cargo pockets with sand and stuff.
Should’ve kept giggling lol
@@yacobshelelshaddai4543 I probably would if i was there
They yelled with a bad technique then. These instructors should be sent first to a class similar to opera singers to learn how to shout properly without losing their voice, lol.
@@melba10 what if i started laughing though and can't help it
I enlisted in the US Army in 1966. I wanted nothing to do with the Marine Corps. I got off the bus at Fort Campbell at night. The first person I saw was a DI. Looked at his hat attachment and I thought I was dreaming. It was the anchor and the world. I wanted nothing to do with the Corps, but I got a Marine DI on a training exchange program. I survived. Our company was honor company our cycle and our platoon was the honor platoon. We also had the top soldier in the cycle. My DI trained me well and was fair and also became a life long friend.......
Beautiful story!

I could only image my father going through this WITHOUT cameras in 67. I could only image the profanity and horrible comments they said to those guys trying for Nam.
@@xiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiix5047Doubtful. If you enlisted in the Corps in 1940 you would have retired by 1960 on the low end and 1970 on the high end. Being a DI is a young (relatively) Marines game in the ranks of Sgt and SSgt. More likely a DI in 1967 already did one or more tours in Vietnam as an PVT through Corporal.
It wasn't the comments really, they could beat the shit out of recruits back then. They can't do that anymore. They just fuck with you in otherwise today.

yeah there are rules but we all know if drill sergeant wants his 300 push ups you will give him his 300 push ups ....
What about people that can't physically do it?
+SpraxIAKS you WILL do them.
But what if they can't physically do them?! Unless they have to do it ALL day. Cause...other than that somebody that goes in only able to do five I don't see it happening.
One of my mentor was a US Marines. Now he a Police officer. Anyway he went to San Diego for boot camp over their and he told me that he had to do some paper work or something but when he gave it to the DI it was sloppy so the DI told him That this was crappy as hell and told him to do 500 push up. So he got into a front lean position and he was doing 500 push up by the time he got to 400 something he was sweating from head to toes. But he gave his DI 500 push up.
He wasn't lying. You WILL do them, one way or another.
I remember doing that “elbows and toes” on the asphalt street in front of our Quonset huts but ONLY our elbows touched because our hands were behind our heads. Some DIs called it “watching TV”. From a second generation Marine, Nam Vet Chu Lai 68-69. My dad, 38-46 Marine WW2 Vet. Miss you dad.
“I firmly believe in IT” of course you do 😂
“Join the Military” They Said “It’ll be Fun” They Said
Boot camp was my favorite part ,
By the end of boot I almost said, sir, this.recruit requests permission to get I.t.'d
I think if you were in tip top physical condition, some of boot camp would be fun. But there is a lot of mental work and discipline too, which requires brains as well as brawn.
@@leonandrews7180 Boot camp is more mental then physical , in today's society kids arnt used to being yelled at , told what to , held accountable for their actions . In boot camp all 3 happen daily , plus kids today take what the drill instructor says personally which makes it harder for them . My father was a Korean war veteran he prepared me well for boot camp , before I left for boot camp in 1988 .
@TheOne111 when I went to boot camp we were always being punished . If we did good or bad always making it rain in the barracks .
In USAF BMT, we knew our flight had fucked up when our MTI told us it was time to "make the walls cry". This meant packing us all into a small room with stone walls where he could bark out orders for us to do planks, push ups, flutter kicks, high knees, mountain climbers, jumping jacks, etc NON-FUCKING-STOP for at least 30 minutes until yes....we made the walls cry because everyone was sweating so fucking much and panting that the moisture and condensation built up along the walls in the room. We weren't leaving that cramped room until the walls were glistening. Shit was intense. And that was Air Force BMT. Can only imagine what hell they go through in the other branches.
Speaking from experience, Navy boot is the easiest physically. I've trained with both Navy and Air Force and went through AF BMT. But yeah the hardest must be Marines followed by Army
I shipped out to basic April 28th of 2015. At the time, I hated bmt. But now looking back, I wouldn't mind reliving it one more time. I have a lot of good memories from back then.. as strange as that sounds. Here's hoping to a 20 year Air Force career!
Anybody pass out?!
+AmnScottNN Really? The AF is harder than the Navy?? Which did you go through first, if I man ask?
T-Top Deluxe yup make it rain pvts when the drill sgt put us in the war room, cranked the heat while it was probably a cat 4 outside as well. Wow.
Dang, I remember SSGT Andino when I was going through recruit training in April 2012. I wasn’t in his platoon, but I remember one interaction with him. He was in charge of taking a select number us to dental. I honestly didn’t think we’d ever get there. He kept turning us around. We’d get 20 yards from the barracks, and he’d turn us around and start over since some of us weren’t screaming loud enough. This went on for over an hour. We almost made it to the front door of dental, but because one recruit didn’t scream loud enough, he marched us all the way back to the barracks and started over. In retrospect, it was absolutely hilarious.
He eventually become a First Sergeant and a couple of years ago become a commissioned officer! Second Marine ever two have gone from E-8 to O-1(e)
OMG, that is a Marine DI through and through!

Got the first actual letter from our son today. He’s on the island now. He says he’s been smoke checked twice so far, but it only lasts 3 minutes. Said PI sucked the first couple of days, but he’s starting to get used to it now. The best part of his letter was the last sentence. “The next time you see me I’ll be a Marine! I love you.” Semper Fi, Son.
Only a few weeks to go. Good luck to your son

DI and DS are some of the most hilarious, creative, and terrifying kinds of people you can meet
I remember a lot of our smoke session, they instilled discipline quick and decisive. It was also a training ground to mentally/ physically prepare you for the grueling needs a Marine must face.
You knew it was going to be a rough morning when your kill hat walked up to you and said "strip."

Everyone that's been through boot knows it's one if the best times of their life. It's so simple to get through and is endless entertainment watching others get yelled at. I was middle of the pack. Never got yelled at once, never the best but kept up just right with everything. When you graduate and they don't know your name you're gonna do just fine moving forward.

Not in 1988, we didn't. I was in the "every hour club" for shooting one of my Drill Instructors in the back with a blank round at BWT (very comical story now), and boy did I pay the price for that, blouse included.
I like how all these civilians are putting up statements like "drill sergeants are crazy" or "drill sergeant are insecure" or calling them gay. While they don't know that there is not one drill sergeant in this video, but DIs. It's pretty sad that someone tries to tell actual and former marines about the marine corps but can't distinguish an army drill sergeant from a marine DI. Also everyone tries to take marines egos away from them when they absolutely deserve to be called the best. Marine basic training is a beautiful thing, because while all these civilians see bootcamp as non sense or ridiculous. No group of men can work better as a team and get more attached as family than a marine platoon and a senior DI in basic training. Semper Fi.
Devin Willis beautiful comment, I've been out for almost a year and miss it every day
An airman definitely can outmatch a Marine . If an airman in a combatives match can out do a Marine then that explains a lot. After graduating BASIC training, you do not automatically become a frikken trained killer who is the most invincible thing on the planet. Having pride in the legacy of a branch is one thing, but saying that that branch is the only one where everyone is better than the rest is arrogant.
Marines just can’t accept that once they get out of boot camp the only difference between them and army is marines have an extra mile on their pt test. So much pride🤣🤣🤣🤣
Devin Willis, “all these” is usually just a few ignorant people here and there. Don’t let a few people get under your skin.
These people are probably internet moms that have absolutely undisciplined spoiled sons that will never come visit them in the future. Or they could be the spoiled kids themselves that detest looking at any form of discipline, because their mama never properly disciplined them.
I got IT for laughing about a month ago. This super tall skinny DI brought me to the pit and had me laugh while doing the exercises. He also laughed demonically at me. Even though it was hot as hell and painful, it was pretty fun.
Our DI would have everybody ELSE in the platoon "thrash" and have the culprit stand there and make them laugh at the platoon while thrashing. Retribution came in the squadbay after "lights out".
This brought back memories and gave me a chuckle. I've been out for 23 years yesterday... All I'm going to say is after T day 4... I got strong :-). Semper Fi
Remember, they're always nicer when the cameras are around.
It's not a matter of recruits not being able to do what they're told, it's a matter of them not being motivated enough. They can do it, they just don't feel like it, that's when the DI steps in. They show them that they actually do feel like it and it's good. Some sandpit time it also warranted.
What’s sandpit time?
@@xoticenigma6297 there's a big sand pit that we all go to and you are physically thrashed ..... Back... Stomach.... Feet... Back... Feet.... Stomach.... Up down up down.... So many Push ups or just holding plank forever.... Holding your rifle out for ages...We would go island hopping from one pit to another

There are now 'guidelines' for IT? Every hour? How often before chow? -- I went through in 1999, basically it went until the DIs got tired.
there are "guidelines" basicly just means they have to pretend to be nice when shinies are around

I was on the quarterdeck once going through the paces, recruit beside me was having a hard time keeping up. With his arms flailing coming up from bends and thrusts the DI stepped into him, I saw out of the corner of my eye the DI flicked his own smokey bear off his head with his thumb and shouted "you just assaulted me!" The next time he came up he received both of the DI's fists square in the chest, hurled into the wall and the hog board fell on top of him as he landed on the deck. Incentive enough for the rest of us to move faster.
Can’t you file assault charges on that? Just curious 😂

Nothing but respect for the men and women who go through this training. I see in comments a fair amount of criticism and debate about the approach of such methods. I haven't been through it, so I really don't know. But I have to imagine that it takes some fairly sharp training angles, because when you think about the relatively short amount of time they have to train these recruits vs. what needs to happen in that time...physical, mental, emotional, team building, drills, knowledge, coordination, discipline, courage, accountability, spirit, fortitude, level headedness under duress...it is insane to think about. These recruits are going to be placed in situations where lives and missions are at stake. I suspect that it isn't just rigorous for rigors sake, but because such methods achieve practice to more than one goal at the same time. They really don't have a lot of time to waste. Whatever it is, it is incredible and I appreciate folks that went through this and served so much.
They’re just weak, wack, insecure, jealous, pathetic trolls who’d shit themselves if a draft was called up again, and they’d have to get their fat, nasty, undisciplined, drugged out asses in uniform and do something meaningful instead of being a keyboard warrior…
Dear god, I remember Staff Sergeant Andino as my kill hat back in Paris Island. The utmost respect for him, but the man was one brutal DI. Amazed at the difference between him speaking calmly in this video vs. how much he destroyed our platoon.

During my stay at PI, there were a few limitation on what the DI's could do, but what happens in the squad bay stays in the squad bay. We called mostly called it getting quarter decked, but the term smoked was also used with some frequency. .
My eyes are in pain just by watching .... so proud of u guys and girls
when i went to OSUT in the army at ft knox we had this method of corrective training called, no joke, "the pain train" and it was just wall to wall smoke sessions that would last 2+ hours at a time only stopping when the floor is so covered in sweat that everyones hands start slipping.

I must disagree with those who badmouth the quality of the USMC as a combat outfit. Please remember that the USMC defeated Japanese soldiers at every major battle from Guadalcanal on, though it was a rough fight, and I promise you that Japanese were more hard corps then than they are now. The Germans, as good as they were, also were defeated, though at great cost. I don't know how you can cmpare the current germany and japan to US Marines - how much combat have those two countries seen since WW2? I didn't see any German or Japanese soldiers at the Chosin resevoir, Khe Sahan, Saigon, Desert Storm, or the recent wars in A-stan and Iraq (where the current pres abandoned the effort while the Marines etc were doing quite well). The German and Japanese armed forces are quite good I'm sure, but there is no way one can say Americans dn't come close. Respectfully.....
The Germans lost 54 troops in the Afghanistan war. Just saying
Good point, but everything is relative. Thanx for pointing that out though. The criticisms of the USMC by some of our Euro friends is still not justified though. I appreciate the input.
saburu sakai Our European friends are criticizing our military? Military prowess and what not aside, we're all brothers in arms. With that being said, go USA! :p
I agree with cliffsam98. Our forces fight together very effectively.
Charles Block Yes it did! But not just the Army.
Regardless of what branch we served.. we learned to become the high speed soldiers that we are, and always will be!! WE ALL HAD OUR ASSES HANDED TO US BY A DI. "BEAT YOUR FACE" HOOAH!! A CO 53RD Combat Engineer BGD/BSTB
Marine Drill instructors are hilariously fucking badass, the sweat on them while instructing IT really shows the motivation and the drive that they put on the recruits.
Went through basic training Cdn Armed Forces '81 in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia - this was our daily routine. 9th platoon C company artillery. I was 17 at the time - and thankfully in good shape before I enlisted.

Nothing "Minor" when you're getting your ass beat on the quarterdeck.
When you watch this video you think how awesome it is but you see these marines in combat or finishing boot camp prayers out to them
Yes you firmly believe in incentive training why? because you received the same training right next to me
When I was there, the DIs had no limitations, they smoked us all day, I was third battalion, in the back of PI, with the sand pits, the recruit next to me asked several times to make a head call after we just woke up and were standing on line, he pissed his pants at POA. The DIs made him do front lean and rests until he finally collapsed in his own piss, fuckin classic! God I love my Marine Corps!!
Okay, so when did you go thru P.I.? And exactly where was 3rd battalion..."in the back of PI"...can you elaborate on the location? Your story sounds like complete B.S....btw what the hell are "front leans and rests"? (a U.S. Marine vet who actually went thru Parris Island in '75).
What company? I was India Co. and I remember playing 4 Corners on the parade deck when we were practicing for drill.
+steve Fowler drill instructors made a lot people piss themselves when I was in. they didn't allow headcalls
Front lean and rests sounds like someone is full of shit. It is the "front leaning rest".
Liar. They've had limitations since the DI marched the boots into the swamp and some died. This was in the forties I believe.
Me and I.T were the greatest of friends. This is when I.T was common usually visited everyday throughout the day.
Ah the good ol days I'll always hate but appreciate.
Other Marines used to hate or despise getting IT'd, but shit it made me strong as fuck going into ITB and I blew through the even strenuous portions of the training for the mortars.
Beautiful camo.
I went through MCRD 3RD Recruit Training Battalion in July, 1988. As far as I know our Drill Instructors did not have time restrictions on instilling discipline in recruits. If we did something wrong we would be on the Quarterdeck being dug. Believe you me none of our Drill Instructors minded at all that they would dig us until our hearts exploded. How times change.
They actually have a lot (or at least some) rules only few probably know of--during the rifle range at 3rd H around the same time you were there, me and another dude got guard duty while everyone else went to mess duty. Suckers. Snooping and pooping on guard duty (very carefully, and just a little) I saw a card DI's carried and had in their hats that one of them had left in their little DI hut while everyone was at mess duty--it was a rules book of some sort, it said they couldn't smoke people earlier than 30 minutes after chow and all that--I had no idea, though, they had such rules or any rules, really.
Yk when they arent yelling in your face and getting pissed off these can be some of the nicest coolest people you can just have a normal conversation with
Damn this makes me happy to be in the Air Force BMT here was nothing
Devlyn Husband what job you in for??
I’ve heard, Air Force Pilot training in the centrifuge is not so much fun.
It doesn't matter if you try to "keep a low profile" your ass is getting IT'ed one way or another. Plus you actually end up enjoying it, it's the best workout you can honestly get haha. When I was in SOI we kept saying how we missed getting IT'ed.
Fun times right there Brings back some fond memories
My son will be in Parris island this April... So proud of my boy..

Legendary Father BACK STRAIGHT
"OPEN YOUR GODDAMN MOUTH!! AYE SIR!!!"
MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS AYE SIR!!! SWITCH AYE SIR!!! SWITCH AYE SIR!!!
Although these are Marines, that brought back a lot of memories of Army BCT at Bragg, Autumn 1968. I’ll never forget Sargeant Godderis, he made sure I lost those extra 15 pounds I brought in from civilian life!
I married a Cuban immigrant who served in the USMC! I have so much respect for this man and I'm so happy he asked me to marry him, still here after 38 years! All that has and that serve, Thank you!❤
I always smiled at the DI`s no matter how much they screamed .loved every minute of it
You know, back in 2004 in 3rd recruit training battalion, they used to put their hands on us when we messed up. I didn’t like it, but as I’ve aged and understood the importance of why it was done that way, it makes sense now. They were trying to get raw recruits trained as quick as possible with limited amounts of time with each individual recruits. I respect my drill instructors and don’t take it personally due to the lessons of paying attention to details. It all adds up. Having dead batteries when you need to use the radio is problematic when you need to call a medevac or having enough body bags which we lost teammates in combat.
3rd herd!! Rah
3rd battalion mike company here, graduated friday. IRON MIKE FOREVER
@INFINITY Holy crap. Congratulations devil dog! I hope you're with family for a bit. I graduated platoon 3054 March 7, 1997.
@@MrStaybrown plt 3090 here, they gave me 17 days for the holidays till i gotta go to SOI
I attended basic training at MCRD San Diego in July of 1998. Watching 2 seconds of this made me flash back to doing the high knees, the mountain climbers, the jumping jacks, all of that shit. I mean, I would probably die if I tried to do any of that shit again, being 90% disabled and all of that, but damn it's weird to see it again from the outside.
This should be required viewing for every high school kid. MAKE GOOD CHOICES
Marines are on another level 🔥💪 Go Marines Go Navy 🤘
I have never been so motivated, detailed oriented in my life, I just didn’t want to f&*+ up and have any attention on me and get the rest of the platoon in trouble but they still find you. As a middle aged man it is still the defining moment of my life
Same here...'86 army. I decided that they could do anything physically to me... I'd just suck it up. I just paid attention to the mind games as it dawned on me the DIs were human and just doing their job. I graduated Honor Soldier and I wasn't even trying...just wanted to get the hell out of Ft. Knox....lol. One of the best times of my life.
During one of my many visits to the pit and quarterdeck, I realized the awful truth about that recruiting slogan the Marine Corps uses. Pain is NOT weakness leaving the body, it’s just pain.
Strong and smart both are key qualities. Guaranteed I'm going to get smoked when I go to USMC, but I'm going to do my best to keep my mind set on what the task at hand is and if I screw up then I'm taking the smoking like it is.
I’m ready to get it over with I can’t wait for the physical and mental challenge
I remember getting smoked for almost 2 weeks straight because a Marine stationed at my recruiting office, intercepted a letter from a recruit who referred to one of our Green Belt DI’s, as a “Butt-Head”! He didn’t get the name, only that he was recruited out of his office. It was horrible! The DI’s literally made sure that everyone recruited from our city was on the Quarterdeck or The Pit, whenever we were not doing regular training. Plus, two hours of fire watch every night for all of us. I swear, everyone in our platoon got plenty of sleep during that time! We all confessed after a few days, but since none of us knew what the Hell they were talking about, they continued our suffering. Fate intervened when the Marine came to MCRD to see if he could beat it out of us. While he was helping the DI’s grill us, the guilty recruit just happened to walk past, and he said “Wait, that wasn’t what the letter said”! This punk was recruited out of our city, but he didn’t come forward as one of us because he lived in a different city from the recruiting station. We lost a lot of weight because of him. I don’t remember what they did to him afterwards. I know his punishment wasn’t as bad as what we got. He definitely graduated with us.
That’s some buddy fucker shit, big time.
i love the Marines.
Good times! Got thrashed in the quarter deck many times.
Just listen to your DI it is very simple. I love our military my Dad was a Veteran Of WWll and Korean and 3 older Brothers who are Vietnam Veterans. 1 Niece Served in Afghanistan. I’m blind in one eye since birth or I would have been my honor to join and served our country. Thank You to All that Served and Gave Their Lives. 🇺🇸 USA #1
Same here. I have glaukoma and I'm totally blind in my left eye and it is a matter of time before I lose my right eye. It is not a matter of if, but when. If I was not disabled, I'd proudly serve
That moment when you slip in yours and other recruits sweat on the quaterdeck, you know shit is real!
+Big Blakk and bloody your nose I as did during mountain climbers when a slip turns into a face plant.
+Logan S we had a guy that I was doing front planks with, his nose just started bleeding for no reason. thats when shit gets real and your kill hat starts screaming louder haha
making of a marine! 🇺🇸
There were a lot things our Drill Instructors weren't "suppose" to do in boot camp at M.C.R.D. San Diego in 1979. They did them anyway. Most of us survived.
Good to see my guys still going "to the library". Very educational, indeed. [forearms on deck, in a modified pushup. Also called "watching tv."]
I remember requesting to be IT by my Kill hat. His response was, "Gooooooooooood!!! Get on my quarter deck. I'm going to slay you." I told him, "This recruit has to use the head first." then he said, "Yes, go ahead! Then come back here and I will slay you." He disappointed me when he did not remember his promise to IT me 3 times a day. They actually wouldn't IT me anymore because I liked being IT.
awwww you asked to be punished and he let you poopy first? Only in America.
Randall Goguen Apparently only in America do we have standards of excellence and cleanliness. I'd rather have a recruit "poopy first", then have a shit stained quarter deck a Captain or higher would have to walk over.
Randall Goguen did I say a sit down head call? lol
Yeah, I don't see that text anywhere.
MrBubbavideo Apparently only in America do you have standards of excellence bag licking and bragging about it. Do you have the quarter deck a Captain on your dresser?
