A hearty welcome to our new members. I just had both my eyes operated on and found I can see a lot better now. But that is not why my delay for a post. I...
A huge part would have to involve with the surrounding environment where it is given. It all begins with a state of the mind of the recruit. There is no cut...
... Thanks for the informative reply. It's interesting that the drill is adapted depending on the recruits. I suppose it seems difficult then to use it for...
It would be difficult to apply to one civilian. It takes 10 to 12 weeks and is a molding of the mind to a reponse and performance level. Every minute of that...
... It sounds truly unimaginable to those who have not experienced it. I just had heard there was a compressed version avaiable as a kind of fitness/endurance...
Are we talking about someone who is about to go to bootcamp? If so, it's good to let the process run its own course. Any headsup you give an individual could...

... Hang on a minute here! All I wanted to know is if there are any fitness or endurance courses run by former Drill Instructors based on their traditional...
You just can't pick and choose what parts of regruit training you want. And it's not just done with one drill instructor. It's a team effort. The Senior and...
... Thanks for the various responses, but no one as yet answered my question; do any former drill instructors run courses based on their training, regarding...

... Thanks for your reply and to respond; I already go to a gym, thanks for the idea. I am part of this forum becuase I wanted to ask some questions, such as...
Thank you for your interest. The replies have not meant to be all- knowing and pontifical. But the whole thing is about depriavtion of all outside influences...

... want ... he is use ... Houston owned ... flattered ... perhaps the others have misunderstood. I would imagine there are quite a few former Marines...
Request assistance in locating SSGT Jose Sosa, USMC, my DI from Aviation Officer Candidate School (AOCS) back in 1986. I'm sure he must be retired and I have...

I was an alpha company hat from July 1996 to July 1998, I was browsing yahoo groups and found this one, of course it caught my eye. I'm now a retired Combat...
