And THIS is why I didn't join the Marines. Same shit in every boot camp military branch, but these guys take it to the EXTREME.


P.S. This is also why I didn't like roving watch during the day.

Whoa, I did not expect an agrument to happen!

I'll honestly say that I have no idea how the Marines do their training. I've only heard stories from my fellow shipmates and my RDCs. For all I know, this is how it goes. The Marines ARE hardcore after all. By the way, the watchstander apparentally is only in his first week of training and wasn't told to greet anyone that came in, so of course the RDCs would be on his ass like a hawk. In their minds he's FRESH MEAT. Seriously, this is what RDCs think 'cause mine told me and my division during Processing Days.

The one thing you guys should know about boot camp - and this goes for ALL branches of the military - is that it's one big MIND FUCK...it's a GAME. Boot camp is NOT what the military is like. The many weeks you spend training at boot camp is to see how you'd react to stressful situations AND to teach you the basics of the military. They first break you down and then build you into what the military wants. I know because I've already been through it. It's phsyically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting. I once got to the point - and everyone does, it's not just me - when I asked myself "Why am I here," shut down (as in go deep inside my mind - I had scared my female shipmates 'cause all they saw was some kind of coma-like trance and would not respond to anything they did for a good 5 minutes), and tell my RDCs that I give up. Don't EVER give up, no matter how difficult it becomes. Work together with your fellow recruits 'cause they're also in the same situation. If you work as a team you can make it through. Yes, you'll have that one asshole or two that don't give a shit...and of course you'll want to beat the shit out of them. Boot camp will be easier once EVERYONE starts working together. The added bonus is that once you start cooperating, your RDCs will be easier on you and start joking around. I had the best RDCs ever! Me and my shipmates are the clowns? Ha!  


P.S. This is where I was trained. The training is a little different since the video shown here was taken during the summer (I was trained during the winter). Also, most of the stuff covered in this video and part 2 are LIES! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdHt56NdERo
