Just thinking back on my little brother's US Marine bootcamp graduation in Paris Island, South Carolina...some of the Drill Instructors were really jacked! Icould tell that most were just plain ol genetic freaks! According to my bro, they worked out a lot too. Anyone ever been there? Appreciation and respect to ALL military folks and their families.

yup...

i had 4 DI's in bootcamp on parris island. one was portly, one was about 5'6" and lean, one was skinny (5'9" 160lbs) and one was absolutely huge!!! BIG black guy, coke bottle glasses, and ripped. he was scary as hell.....and those big eyes behind those thick ass glasses were funny as shit. not funny at the time of course because we were all terrified.....but in hind sight 17 years later.....it was some funny stuff

Every aspect of being a USMC DI is extreme. Makes sense they'd be jacked up

Is it just a rumor or did they really use your head as a battering ram?

in was in the marines after high school
boot camp-dirty delta!
boot camp was hell for me-i was unprepared

when we were at the airport and had to sign in the sign in marine accused me of being on drugs cuz my eyes were bugging-called me a trick...and threw my drivers license across the room after he looked at it

at paris island i made the mistake of not moving out of the way when a DI walked at me-he slammed me into a wall

one morning when it was about to be wake up time and the DIs were walking through the barracks i made the mistake of sitting up in bed...this crazy DI went running at my bunk from across the room, jumped onto the top bunk where i was and screamed at me to lay down

then when we were doing body inspections before bed and we had to stand on line in towels then lift the towel and spin around so the DIs could check if u had any injuries i was nervous and held my towel against my lower body and he grabbed the towel from me and said im gonna be here a long time

then 1 time at chow i picked up a brownie w/ my hands which i guess was frowned u[pon and this huge DI popped up out of nowhere and threw my brownie across the room!

there were some big big scary marines at paris island

My dad went through MCRD San Diego in 1967, he has some pretty crazy stories. And one has to remember that all the legal bullshit and such wasn't around back then.

either way....youll be in the brig. once you sign the contract....you belong to the Corps. quickest way off Parris Island is to graduate in 13 weeks (or however long it is now)

I know 100's of tough guys...they all say the same thing as you did. oddly enough, none of them had the balls to try

youre there to learn, their way.....not the way mommy and daddy did it your first 18 years. youre there to be broken down and built back up the way the Marine Corps wants you...as a team player with the discipline needed for war. simple as that
