Drill Instructors Messing With Recruits (New Footage and Remastered)

The drill instructors talking softly is honestly more intimidating than them yelling.😂

They're gonna yell at you when you do something right, and they'll yell when you do something wrong. Once you realize this, basic becomes so much easier.

'This recruit made the mistake of looking at the senior drill instructor. The senior drill instructor proceeded to lose his mind' 🤣

The guy asking the questions really is helping these young men out. He’s making them realize all the things they took for granted.

God I love that. Recruit almost falls 30 some feet. "You ready to listen?" "yes sir"

DI gently taps chest “What’s up buddy?” Shitting myself through the phone

When the drill instructor yelled "Say something!", I could actually picture at least one random recruit shouting "Something, Sir!"

I joined in '95, became a Senior Drill Sergeant in 2012, retired in 2019 as a 1SG. Best 23 years of my life. I miss it everyday and I wouldn't be the man or Veteran I am today if it wasn't for my DS's and the Soldiers I led and served with.

The instructor that scared me the most wasn't the one that was yelling or smoking me out, it was the instructor that came up to you with a calming voice and played mind games with you while smoking the fuck out of you all calm

Drill instructor speaking softly, Recruits: Wait, this is illegal…

39 years but cadence still brings goose bumps

Once you accept that no matter what you do they will never be satisfied, it becomes simpler. Just do what you are told, as quickly and loudly as possible. Don’t let the platoon down. You’ll get through.

One thing that got me through pretty easy without being targeted (as frequently as others) is I remember a friend who was already a Marine told me that it's all just a mind game and that "the trick is to think of the drill instructors as really aggressive personal trainers who give you war tips while destroying you with exercises".

That one drill sergeant that walked around talking calmly asking what was so hard about training cracked me up 😆

My experience with a Drill Instructor was in 1971, I was a wise guy, with a quick wit. I was asked what I thought of a Drill Instructor, my reply was "Sir, I think that the senior Drill Instructor nuts, and off his meds". What in hell did I sat that for, they rode my ass for a solid week, none stop. Round two came when, again I was asked the same question, my reply this time was "I think all Drill instructors are off their meds, this time, the platoon run up and down a hill until chow was served. I survived the ordeal, graduated top of my class, after graduating, my instructor finally show his huma side, he targeted me to get a rise out me, but instead, he got a laugh from my comments. He was the instructor that I emulated for the rest of my career. my motto, that I learn from my father was "Don't let your mouth write a check that your ass can't cash".

They are not yelling, they’re speaking at the level where everyone can hear them. That way everyone has equal opportunity to learn from the achievements & failures together.

"Yep, yep light duty king right there" That DI killed me

The Ssgt talking to the recruits was my senior he was scary as hell but always remained cool. He defined the definition of mind fuck games

The white D.I. at 5:15 who keeps calling the recruit “son” must have joined when he was 17 and busted his ass to rank up, cause ain’t no way that dudes over 22😂
