I served in the Marines from 2002 - 2006. Aside from the physical abuse, this is pretty accurate. DIs are not allowed to physically abuse recruits as pictured in this movie. I never saw any physical abuse like this while in basic training. Will they smoke you on the quarterdeck until you puke or pass out? Hell yeah they will!! However, in terms of a DI physically putting their hands on another recruit to abuse them, it's highly unlikely as that DI would have hell to pay when reporting to their Commanding Officer!!

@rusty7984

2y↑222

I recently graduated in 2021. My DIs never hit or choked us but they did use aggression to correct us. Oh and the low crawl. Remember one dude started crying and one DI kicked him in the head while he was wearing Kevlar. In another company heard one kid got punched in the stomach and left a giant ass bruise. None of the other recruits reported it cause they all hated him anyways

I joined a few years before you did. There was certainly physical abuse in bootcamp similar to this film. I went to San Diego. However, for a better representation of Marine Corp bootcamp I recommend Full Metal Jacket. We also had blanket parties for the perpetual fuckups. But that was a long time ago. My guess is that the military in general is a lot softer these days.

But the minute the boot camp scenes started, we started dying and the man and his wife in front of us was a USMC Sgt. on leave. He turned around and looked at us during the “Jodie scene” and just smiled. We ended up shaking hands and talking to him for almost an hour and he was hilarious and definitely a man of honor.

Just went around patrolling and not being in endless combat. And they would return with the same PTSD that others vets who were in the trenches did.

It really captures how the worst part of combat is the waiting. You're constantly on edge, listening and looking for anything dangerous.

When I was 8 I was taught by my pops on how to drive a stick shift truck.

When I would pull the clutch out too fast and the truck would stall I would get the same "love taps" by my dad while I had to start the truck back up, move forward, and still maintain my cool.

It was even tougher when having to drive the truck up (I was 11 at this point mind you) a decent sized inclined hill and my biggest fear was sliding back and hitting he car behind me because I didn't do the clutch/gas properly.

I was just getting out of the Marine Corps when this movie took place. 1989. I remember hearing that "Don't Worry. Be Happy" song a lot around that time. Two movies about Marines came out while I was enlisted. Full Metal Jacket and Heartbreak Ridge, both of which I saw in the theater. I was actually IN the regiment mentioned in Heartbreak Ridge, 8th Marines, which was cool, however, Camp Lejeune (actually Camp Geiger) looks nothing like seen in the movie.

There were only two movies I saw about Marines BEFORE I joined which I saw on TV. Tribes and Boys in Company C (also with R. Lee Ermey as a DI).

I’m Scottish. I used to work for a car rental company near Edinburgh Airport. I remember I served this American gent and his wife, I forget which state he hailed from. He mentioned he’d served in the marines. They’d hired a car to do the North Coast 500. Guy was so respectful and well spoken, addressing me as “Sir” and giving me a firm handshake before he left. He also had a great sense of humour. One of the coolest dudes I ever met. This scene always reminds me of him 😂

Even in the Air Force, before this movie made some of the stories from deployment famous, I personally saw some of these types of stories happen in some variation while on deployment. They were not all exclusive to Marines. My Basic Training, however, felt like a joke. It doesn't hurt that in the Air Force they can't physically make contact with you like this video. Knowing that, because being 3rd generation Air Force, I let the threats of "I will jump over this bunk and kick you in the throat" just washed off me like water on a duck.

I remember I was in 4th grade when this movie came out. I was so excited to see it because I had just recently seen SPR and had been obsessed with war history. When I eventually saw it I was disappointed because it didn't have any action and didn't understand it. Now in my 20s I finally understand this was about politics, psychological warfare and the weaponizing + dehumanizing of young American minds going into the middle eastern conflicts. Hits completely different now and great performance by the actors.

As a contractor who worked with Army in Iraq and the Marines in Afghanistan, the marines are a different breed altogether. I did battle damage repair on MRAPs at camp leatherneck. Route clearance teams. The tenacity and raw aggression they had was second to none. They would physically fight out disagreements right in front of everyone as soon as one got the upper hand they would shake hands and it was over. One morning we got a few incoming mortars, which was rare at leatherneck. But a daily thing at most army fobs. We got 8 mortars they hit nothing hurt nobody, but I swear we flattened the mountain that came from. They shot everything they had for 8 hours at this mountain. Hell mark missiles, artillery, and warthogs, even had M1s tanks shooting at it. About the 4th hour of this, I said no wonder they don't hit leatherneck much.
Much respect for the marines. As a civilian, it's hard to get accepted by them, but once you gain their respect they have your back like one of their own. True warriors! Not taking away from the army, they are too by the book for me ie Micromanaging
