I’m not Defending anyone, But watching that video that was a love tap(or Firm Correction and a good Motivation tool). Countless others and myself remember worse from our experiences at Boot. I’ve seen it to many times before, being the ass recruit is probably one of the hardest things to endure for a person. But there’s always one in every Platoon. Around swim week is when most of them wash out. Because it was too hard. Failure to adjust. Thats way why, it’s the few the proud.
This is a message to the Marines talking the shit in all caps. Shut up your making yourself look stupid. Have the pride in yourself and in the corp to respect yourself and everyone else. You should be better than that.
As for the Air Force Flyboys. I’ve Drank with the best of you. Snuck your asses off base in a my uniforms.. Try to have some respect for the people protect you as while you sleep. Like it or not were all one Military.
As for the civi’s who are posting on here. It’s unfortunate in so many ways, but I find it highly unlikely that the D.I.’s purposely let that boy die. Because at the end of the Day.
DI’s are there to prepare. I’m 3rd Generation my father was a DI. Him and Every DI he’s ever worked with. Would have done anything it took for any recruit to toughen them up or wash them out to protect lives of everyone that marine will ever encounter.
Just a little food for thought..
