Good, Bad, or none, What kind of memories does this video stir from Boot Camp?

I remember laughing a lot.

pure hell! LOL

Good memories now. Looking back all that stuff was funny. At the time I felt differently but I am glad I went through it.

I will always remember MCRD Parris Island SC & the changes there after the Ribbon Creek incident. Several DIs were relieved of duty after a congressional investigation that revealed mistreatment of recruits.

After 3 days of terror, I found that I kind of liked Boot Camp. I loved MCRD San Diego, and also went through Radio School there. The memories fade over time, but will stay will you forever. Once a Marine, Always a Marine. Semper Fi!

While actually living it, it was not always fun, but the memories are all good. I was 17 when I went to Boot camp at P.I. A lot of what I learned in boot and the F.M.F. has played a key role in all of my successes in life.

The most challenging thing I did...until I met DI school! And after that it was the most rewarding job I've done to date!

first 2 hours, that did not stop for 3 months, 9 DI,s (3 where busted for violence) and three they said rotated out, I just dont think they could take us anymore. any way I was in boot in 73 and another poster hit it correctly, full metal jacket was very accurate.

I will never forget the yellow foot prints at Paris Island South Carolina, one way in, one way out. Full metal jacket brought back a lot of memories for me.

While I can't see the video at work, I can certainly regale what my first 2 hours of BCT was. It involved a company wide CIF issue shake-down in the gym. We went item by item. In one hand was the duffle. In the other, was what ever item we had to find. Then once we were checked that we found the right item we were to place it in the bag and then hold the bag (with only one hand) in the air until the next item was called. Did I mention that we had to go one item at a time? And at no time was any DS NOT yelling.
