Marine boot camp should just lighten up alittle, the training enviroment is to stressful, how many of u agree?

Question

the killhat drill instructor should be eliminated and replaced with a mentor drill instructor. every platoon in Marine boot camp should have a 2nd lieutenant overseeing their training making sure every rule is being followed and no abuse going on

Answer 1

Considering recruits may be headed for a war zone, it should be as tough as possible.

Answer 2

The discipline,physical agility,concentration,drive and bravery needed to complete one of the most grueling training courses of all the services needs to have men who will not let up on there instruction and can weed out those that could get other men and woman killed when it comes time to dig deep and find what is needed to kill or be killed.

You will always hear "Once a Marine.Always a Marine"this spoken by a Marine."Semper Fi".

Answer 3

This has already happened. All recruits for all services now are babied. So if it's still too tough for you go smack your parents in the face for giving you weak genetics. Drill sergeants can't do a quarter of the demented c**p that  they used to do to us anymore. No hazing etc.So stop whining.

Answer 4

War is even more stressful than boot camp.

Know military men and marines trust me boot camp is nice compared to war.

Answer 5

I think you are a p***y!

Answer 6

Only if you want these men being trained to be killed. If you can't handle the stress of bootcamp, what do you think you'll do when you have people shooting at you and trying to kill you. When the going gets tough, the tough start killing, the ones that can't handle it die.

So, do you want someone watching your back in a fire fight that a drill instructor had to coddle or the guy that yelled sir yes sir give me more sir.

Think about it, come home alive, come home in a body bag.

I don't want someone that will break down under pressure in a fire fight with me. I would want to come home alive.

Why do you think they call Marines trained killing machines. I was in the Air Force. Our Bt was what I would call a joke as to what I imagine the Marines is.

I give full Respect to the instructors and people that make it through.

Semper Fidelis Always faithful. As I understand there is never a Ex Marine, just a former Marine.

Answer 7

ummm....are you joining the marines or are you one of those who dont go threw boot camp or anything and like to sit here and complain.

i know my bf hates how they "pussied up" boot camp and wish it was harder..not sure if he changes his mind about that now.lol.but thats wat i have to say..

its the marines for a reason dude..

Semper Fi!

Answer 8

You should have been there back in the day.  My brother had to sleep with a rifle and "hold it like it is a woman".  That was the least of his abuse.  It made a MAN out of him.

Answer 9

I think you may have hit on something. You should march down to the Post Commander's house right now and demand that this be instituted right this very minute. Are you insane? It's the Marine Corps, not the Girl Scouts. Put a clean pair of pull-ups on and deal with it.

Answer 10

Teufel Teufel Teufel....you really come up with some humdingers.

All join hands and sing kumbaya before beddy bye.

Answer 11

If its too much for you join the Air Force or don't join at all.

Answer 12

i disagree.

Answer 13

Sorry, but you're barking up the wrong tree. I personally think they should go back to the way it was before 1990.
