EPIC Speech from Marine Corps Drill Instructors - USMC Boot Camp Day 1

Marine Corps Recruit Training video of the first time new recruits meet their drill instructors on Parris Island. This is by far one of the most memorable Marine Corps boot camp experiences the new recruits encounter upon arrival for Marine Corps recruit training. Marine Corps drill instructors do a lot more than just yelling at recruits. The literally make Marines and they have one of the hardest jobs in the Marine Corps. It's not the same as Marine Corps boot camp in the 1960's, but the overall mission is the same. To make highly disciplined, basically trained Marines. After passing their initial strength test, Marine Corps recruit training begins with a moment these recruits will never forget. It’s time to meet their drill instructors. They are the backbone of the Marine Corps, demanding perfectionists who monopolize every waking hour of the recruits’ lives. Every second of every day will be spent with these drill instructors who will mold them into Marines. They will instill in them, through their own example, the upmost levels of professionalism, teamwork, discipline, and confidence. They really do make Marines. The next 3 days is the period known as “Forming.” It is nothing short of learning a new language, a new culture, a fast paced way of life that starts with the willing obedience of every order. Recruits learn a complete new way of speaking and use language and terminology they will use throughout their entire time in the Marine Corps. The Drill Instructors physically, psychologically, and mentally challenge the recruits, including yelling at maximum volume and intimidation, to simulate stress of the battlefield and elicit immediate compliance to instructions.
