MCRD, San Diego, California

If you are getting ready to report into MCRD San Diego, California, you are soon to begin an experience that will be etched into your memory for life.  As your date looms ever closer your nerves start to get a little rattled and the reality of the life altering experience weighs ever heavier on your mind. 

Most future recruits think that boot camp at MCRD San Diego is all about being in great physical shape and do not realize that your physical skills are really only a small portion of being prepared for boot camp life.  Granted it will be to your benefit to be in great shape, but if your mind is not prepared you too may become just another wash out.

It is the job of the Drill Instructors to apply an amount of pressure that you will only experienced again if you are ever in a combat situation.  It has been proven that even the largest of men and woman all have an equal chance of cracking under the pressure of war.  It is the job of the Drill Instructor to get the ones to crack before they are ever in combat and hunkered down in a fighting hole. (Fox hole for you civilians)

Can you make it in Boot Camp? Find out here!
If a Drill Instructor can exert enough emotional pressure on a recruit that causes him to collapse and quit, it can save the life of a Marine in combat. When in boot camp a recruit should never take it personal because once the Drill Instructors see a crack, they will pick and tear at the wound until they weed you out of their Corps and off MCRD San Diego.

If you are thinking of joining the United States Marine Corps, then it is suggested you get in the best physical shape you can and also work on any emotional issues that you have going on inside your brain housing group. (That is your brain, for you civilians)  If you are not sure how to work out your emotional issues it is suggested you seek all the help you can.  It is a sure bet your Drill Instructors will find your weakness and send you home with a shaved head and without the title of Marine.

Educate yourself as to the tactics the Drill Instructors use and for your sake do not call them a D.I.  That is because you would be calling them a Dumb Idiot.  Also, do not EVER call them a Drill Sergeant because you just made them equal with an Army Sergeant and that would be a really bad thing to do.  If you want to stay on MCRD San Diego until you graduate, the little things like mentioned above will be huge in your experience while on the recruit depot. 

Prepare for bootcamp now so you can graduate from boot camp later.
