I want to hear your Marine Corps boot camp stories?

Question

I wanna know some of the funniest DI remarks, and some of the stuff you had to go through.

Answer 1

One time we were doing a run and one the D.I.s that was not one of our Platoons started running backwards and yelling at us. When he turned around there was a sign that he ran right into. It was so funny! He cut himself open pretty good.
Another was one night after lights out. I saw fireworks goin off. I think it was fom a Padres game or Sea world. anyway, I saw someone walking through the Barracks and I said, hey man come check this out. He said what? I said, come check out the fireworks. He walked up to me slowly. I thought it was another recruit on firewatch. He walked up to my rack and said, do you know who I am? I said no.... He said look at my collar. I said, ohhhh s h i t! He said now do you know who I am? I said yes sir. He said whats on my collar? I replied, silver bars... He said yes thats correct. It was the Company XO! I was so scared when he went and woke up the Drill Instructor. The next day one of them walked up to me and asked if I was the one that had sweet talked the XO to come watch the fireworks. I told him I did. The weirdest thing was that they never again mentioned it to me. They probably thought it was funny too.
BootCamp was a good time. i love the Corps. They were hard and I love to train so for me it was a good experiance. Hell most of the times. But to me there was nothing I wanted more in the world than to be a Marine.
Some of the hardest times were the first couple of days. The only thing you think of is, What the hell am I doing here!!!!!!?

Answer 2

Yes sir! I was 19 when I signed on the line and full of piss and vinegar. I was 6'8" tall and weighed 250 lbs. Athletic, strong, and smart, until I met Master Sergeant McNeil, our senior Drill Instructor. Big as I was I stood out as you can imagine. I was at least six inches taller than the rest of the hopefuls and I was made an example of promptly. Walking to the barracks one day I passed by the Master Sergeant and said good morning sir. He wasn't a big man, maybe 6 foot, 200 lbs, but he managed to pin me up against the wall, off the ground. He asked what my problem was. I said I didn't have a problem. He said that now he was my ******* problem because he was going to burn my *** every day for thirteen weeks until I got it straight. I asked what I needed to get straight. He said that he was the one asking the ******* questions and that was what I needed to get straight. I don't think he liked me talking out of turn. This was done in front of, oh fifty people or so. Many were in my troop. All the intimidation I presented was immediately sucked dry by a man with a hat and thick, round glasses. Scariest man I have ever met.

Answer 4

My best friend who at that time hated the military, wanted to mess with me while in boot camp. He wrote on the outside of the envelope of a letter he sent. He wrote " ALL MARINE D I'S ARE *******" Well my senior DI saw it and made me read it out loud in front of the whole Battalion. From that point on as soon as the di's would walk in the door they would yell my name and I had to do pushups untill they said stop. Sometimes i would be pushing for hours. I was in boot camp in 1989. I, to this day, can still do 100 pushups without a struggle.
