My grandpa was a Drill Instructor. I only ever knew him as a gentle, soft spoken man who was always great to me. I once said to my mom and my uncle that I couldn’t imagine him yelling at recruits like this. They laughed and said he got once got busted down a rank for throwing a smart ass private out a window, and that he occasionally used his DI voice with them when they got unruly. RIP Grandpa (1922 - 2006)

This was my DI. During our cycle he was promoted to SSGT. He’s the man that handed me my EGA. I couldn’t forget this dude if I tried
-
How time flies 19 years ago I was a recruit. Best 8 years of my life when I was young. I sure do miss the Corps.
-
As a college professor let me just say something….this man has great oratory skills. Not just the volume but the words, vocabulary and delivery. He’s great.
-
This DI is correct. Marines do not steal. They tactically acquire.
-
This was the most epic legal disclaimer I’ve ever heard
-
Every Senior Drill Instructor: “Above all else, a marine never lies.” Every Marine Corps recruiter known to exist: Nervous sweating
-
You never forget your DI. To this day, 50 years later, I can still smell his breath.
-
Imagine this was the speech that every child hears to enter the world.
-
The authority in his voice and how he carries his self is motivation
-
That’s how it’s done. Every young man should hear that speech
-
I came here because my baby boy just shipped out to the Marines Bootcamp. I’m both excited for him and scared. This is what he wanted for his life but as a mother, I wished he would have chosen a civilian life. I will be praying everyday for him and others.
-
How I remember that day over 40 years ago. A marine never forgets his boot camp experience.
-
This was my drill instructor when I was dropped to STC - Special training company. He’s actually one of the coolest drill instructors I’ve had the pleasure of being around. He’s got some amazing story’s. But scary as hell when you piss him off
-
I’m retired Army. The Army’s definition of leadership is: To inspire others to complete a mission by providing purpose, direction, and motivation. That Marine has it.
-
The moment that everyone says the same things together in perfect unison, that’s what makes it so chilling and willing to do everything.
-
Drill Instructor: “If anyone mistreats you, report it to me.” Recruit: "Thank you Sir, I will. You seem very kind, understanding and approachable."
-
Boot camp. Ahh The good ol’ days. Except the compassion thing. That must be new.
-
I love seeing and hearing this. As a fellow vet from the army, i always appreciate hearing a motivated individual get his people fired up like this guy.
-
The most motivational speech ever. Still gives me chillz
