thank you, Oo Rah

don't take this wrong, don't want to be accused of being condescending again, but that's kinda on tame side. looks like one of those recruiting video they play for you at the recruiters office, boy most are shocked when they get to Parris island. i had two uncles that were Marines and they told me what to expect, and it still didn't come close to the real deal.

those were Hollywood Marines saw some of the training was close to Parris Island ( some say they treated the recruits the same as Parris Island, others say no)  and there was nothing nearly close to the constant nerve racking in your face yelling. it started from the time you got off the plane at the little airport, i can't remember the name of the town until the day you graduate. in receiving there are like 10 or more DI's constantly running through the recuts yelling. it does ease up just a tad near the end, but you are a maggot from start to the day the commanding officer calls you Marine.

if you really want to see what boot camp is in the Marine Corps, two movies do the best job of depicting boot camp. The Boys From Company C, and Full Metal Jacket. are as close to real as i've ever seen. Gunny R Lee Ermey is in both.
