When that number of recruits finally passed out, they stopped the IT. When we were in the pit, sometimes I thought the DIs had a number in their head. Either that or they'll call every other DI in earshot over to watch you actually push the world away (bragging of course, "Look what MY recruit can do!"). If they tell you get down and push the world away and you do it, they probably will let you stop. It's only good enough till they feel you can no longer do anymoreĭIs aren't totally without feeling. Look at it this way 50 push ups is only 25 Marine Corps push up's.Īnd the thing is you could do 1000 push ups and it will NEVER be good enough. Granted it was with the help of another recruit.but THAT is what the Marine Corps is all about." This recruit crossed the finish line in the allotted time. They told him he failed the PFT.īut.our Company Commander, Capt. I remember our Drill Instructors screaming at the fat kid, saying what a useless piece of sh!t he was, etc. He had already finished his run.but he ran to this fat-body, picked him up in a fireman's carry, and ran back to the finish line! The recruit who made "Honor Man" from our platoon saw this. When my platoon took the Final PFT in boot camp, we had a fat-body who collapsed, out cold, about 500 yds. Grab that other recruit's pack and carry it for a while, when he needs to catch his breath. Encourage your fellow recruits to never quit. Marines endure great risks to retrieve their wounded and dead, from the battlefield.Īlthough you are recruits, and not Marines yet.that tradition applies to you as well. are considered.Īlways remember this.Marines willingly sacrifice their lives for other Marines. And it will be remembered, when promotions for Pfc. HOWEVER.they will pay close attention to those recruits who take the initiative, on their own, to help someone in need.
Your drill instructors will not encourage you to help those who need help. Someone mentioned the topic of helping your fellow recruits, who aren't quite hacking it.
