Boot Camp videos

[Rogue Hawk]

These started popping up in my suggested YouTube videos. They would have been invaluable to watch before I went to Air Force boot camp. Too bad there was no internet then.


The Marine ones are the best. I see now I would not have lasted 10 minutes in USMC boot camp. I really respect those guys:bowdown:

Hi Rogue Hawk,

Re: I went to Air Force boot camp.

I don't know what Air Force you were in. The one I was in it was called Basic Training. :thumbup:

But, I think I was in a few years before you were in.

And the Army uses the same term.

The Navy & the Marine Corps use the term Boot Camp.

BTDT,

I thought the 1st video was pretty much staged. Not much resemblance to what I actually encountered at MCRD in the mid 60s. The "push-ups" being done by the guy in the middle would have resulted in the entire platoon "learning" what a proper push up is....... and for an extended period of time. PT in the video was very sloppy and not representative of what it was really like...... Just my experience. Yours may vary..... Jim
